Hi Dorcas! When I look at the code samples it looks like some HTML/CSS has been injected into the raw code. Are you seeing the same thing?

This is post is great! Thanks for the insights on how you all approached the rebrand. Not an easy process at all, so it's awesome that this post will be a great reference for people when they go through this process.

This is so awesome! Congrats on the job and location change. How exciting to be in Israel. You've now given me yet another reason to consider pitching to speak at SMX Israel at some point in the future :)

Thanks Glenn. It's always exciting to learn about Google's latest offerings :)

Re: How Deadly Viper Character Assassin Undermines its Message with Co-opted Culture

Mr. Rah,
Although I don't believe you intended to make a racist comment regarding the Zondervan staff, it still came across as racist. You imply that perhaps they are culturally insensitive because they are white. Even assuming that you're right about their carelessness in allowing insensitive messages come out of their products, you can't just look at them and automatically blame it on their race. That would be racist. So, to kindly use your words:

"Whether that was your intent or not, that was the outcome. Admit your wrongdoings and seek forgiveness in a public manner because your offense was in a public setting."

Re: YouTube Starting Official Video Download Service – Nobody Cares Thanks to JavaScript

I'm sure there is a good number of YouTube visitors that have no knowledge of those other techniques. At least YouTube can monetize from their ignorance of other methods.

Re: Google Quality Score Is Overhyped

Adrian Vender — Fri, 06 Feb 2009 11:06:53 -0000

I agree with your premise that people focus too much on being obsessed with the score as opposed to doing the right things that also happen to improve your quality score over time. There are times when quality score is a force to be reckoned with... starting new campaigns. Starting a brand new campaign in a saturated market (and of course no history of a good quality score) really hurts the cost per click and your overall ROI.

Future Peter died because the haitian was also in the scene when Claire shot him, taking away his healing powers. Still, was the haitian alongside future Peter the whole time afterwards?? Because moving away from him would allow Peter to revive himself, like Claire did in season one. Even in that scene towards the end when Peter is using his powers on Nathan, we know their powers were usable then. I dunno. There's a few things buggin' me about that show.

Yeah, we watched Amazing Race last night. So funny that the 'frat guys' are from ASU. It's like those guys came out of Superbad or something :) I know one team (one person, actually) that I don't like is the newly dating couple. The guy has serious confidence issues and is so bothered when he's not the center of his girl's attention.

I congratulate you guys on creating a site that I think all of us thought was a breath of fresh air in terms of great entertainment sites. But like you said, it takes a lot of hard work to give us such a great site and choices have to be made. Stay classy.

I wonder if Michael will stare at Ryan the same way he did when Ryan filled in as receptionist for a day.

Re: Flight of the Conchords a Two Season Act?

Adrian Vender — Thu, 04 Sep 2008 11:52:31 -0000

I'm with you, Mike. I would hate to see the quality go down because they stay on air too long. It's good to see when people realize a show can't just go on forever.

Did you guys catch the teen host of the newscast... Hannah Zuckerman-Vasquez.

Yeah, I'm such a nerd.

Re: Ana Lucia is back on Lost?

Adrian Vender — Fri, 29 Aug 2008 13:00:46 -0000

To better illustrate my confusion over time, I point you to this dialog from Spaceballs:

Dark Helmet: What the hell am I looking at? When does this happen in the movie?
Colonel Sandurz: Now. You're looking at now sir. Everything that happens now, is happening now.
Dark Helmet: What happened to then?
Colonel Sandurz: We passed then.
Dark Helmet: When?
Colonel Sandurz: Just now. We're at now, now.
Dark Helmet: Go back to then!
Colonel Sandurz: When?
Dark Helmet: Now.
Colonel Sandurz: Now?
Dark Helmet: Now!
Colonel Sandurz: I can't.
Dark Helmet: Why?
Colonel Sandurz: We missed it.
Dark Helmet: When?
Colonel Sandurz: Just now.
Dark Helmet: When will then be now?
Colonel Sandurz: Soon.
Dark Helmet: How soon?

I've always assumed that they weren't really abandoning the 'flashfoward/flashback' sequences, but changing what we were thinking was the present time. I think I remember the producers talking about how up to this point 'Island time' has been the present time and we jump back and forth from there. My guess has been that the post-rescue time will be the new present time and we'll jump back and forward(?) from there.... heck I dunno.

Great choice on going the ps3 route. Still contemplating on when I'll do the same.
