It is more then just adding a keyboard. All the interactions in surface are first class keyboard friendly. Switching, closing app, switching tab etc. work well with keyboard. So you have a device which supports multiple usage perspectives either working on a 5 page word doc/blog with keyboard, touchpad or browsing web, watching movie, playing angry birds on a light weight touch enabled tablet


WTF! I thought Mechner is taking $48,000 to tell some story.


How come dropbox, skydrive don't need such perpetual blanket permission to provide exactly same service.


From stuartmemo's comment, which you replied to:

> The Verge: "Is Google Drive worse for privacy than iCloud, Skydrive, and Dropbox?"

Short answer: no.


reading the article mentioned Skydrive: (GRANT ALL)..."posted on the service solely to the extent necessary to provide the service"

GDrive: (GRANT ALL)..."the limited purpose of operating, promoting, and improving our Services, and to develop new ones."

Services vs. Service, Promoting vs providing

will showing book drafts being created by me on Google Books is promoting/improving there service, yep. Google may not do so ever, but you have to trust them instead of being on TOS.


Maybe Facebook should launch their ad-sense now.


Have they already figured out how to run ads on their own site efficiently? I think CTR and RPM are still unsolved issues for Fb. I may be wrong, never bought Fb ads myself.


love India!


or can be added to policy/registry that open http://legacyapp:6583 in ie6 frame.


bing only sees, what google's customer are seeing. so Google can't do it without screwing its own search results, and even worse it won't affect top 1 million query strings, as for them bing is getting much stronger signals from other sources.


you still didn't get it, they are using clickstream from every possible source from amazon to ebay to google. and there is nothing unethical about it, as it just gives them annonymous data about which site people are clicking to. Google gets the same data from google toolbar and other products.


so maybe you should stop using all search engines, because they by definition do not create any data and just copy it from other people.


If Google analytics can scrape this data, so can bing. Google never answered if they are using clickstream from google toolbar / chrome or not. Check this simple script if you want same data. http://forums.digitalpoint.com/showthread.php?t=1680579&...
