Oh! BTW it's not the number of search results that you should SEO for. It's the monthly search volume. You can get that info from Google Keyword Tool if you have an AdWords account.

Agreed. It's hard to strike a balance between SEO for bots and TAO (target audience optimization) for humans. I lean toward the humans. Let the 20,000 Googlers figure out how to make their bot speak human. :-)

You're welcome! (BTW, it should be 'erroneous email address' (adjective) not 'error email address' (noun) :-) )

Hi Alex,

That's true, but my point was they could be made more easily accessible via the press and hold trick (Tips 2 and 5 in the main article).

Best regards,

Nice! Enhancement request to Apple: If I press and hold parentheses "(" or ")", give me a popup for other styles like { } and [ ]

Thansk! One typo "down error" should be "down arrow" (key)

I'm reminded of Howard Beale in Network (1976): 'I'M AS MAD AS HELL, AND I'M NOT GOING TO TAKE THIS ANYMORE! ... Then we'll figure out what to do about the depression and the inflation and the oil crisis.' http://www.imdb.com/title/t...

Does the scene in "Clueless" constitute prior art that would invalidate the clothing selector?

Well it would be good if Google turns Wave back on again so we can play with these goodies:

I'm getting a 400 Bad request from http://wave.google.com at the moment. Anyone else able to access Wave?

I was visiting Atlanta a few months ago and a similar fountain in the Olympic Park was full of kids all day... (No, I didn't jump in because I was wearing a business suit not a bathing suit :-) )

Re: Buddha Phone Hits The Market

First of all the historical Buddha, Siddhattha Gotama, was a human, not a deity. And superstitious means "an unreasonable or excessive belief in fear or magic" which has no place in Buddhism. And I doubt the Buddha would recommend possession of any mobile phone, least of all a luxury golden one. :-)

Chirs, I have a concern.

The BlendTec figure of 500% increase in online sales sounds impressive 'till you consider these points:

1) What was the base? Maybe they were doing close to zero online before the "Will it Blend series?
2) (Even more disturbing) 100 million views drove only a 500% increase. Realistically, mere mortals like us might get a thousand or (if we're really good) ten thousand views. Pro rate that into 500% and you get a miniscule 0.05% bump (500% *10,000 / 100,000,000 = 0.05%).

Thoughts?

It is going to be a great conference despite Cadence's bizarre decision to stay away from their own industry's premier event.
