Google’s April Fools – Introducing CADIE

The Google tradition of April Fools jokes continues today with CADIE the world's first "artificial intelligence" tasked-array system. “On January 12th 2009, the STT run Standard Turing Test confirmed behavior indistinguishable from that of a reasonable human being with above-average intelligence and 3.8 GPA we're still struggling to understand that missing .2; we suspect it points to fundamental flaws in the GPA system rather than CADIE.

Retail Dominates in Top 50 Rankings

The rankings are based strictly from unique visitors from home, work, or university locations. You can view the Top 50 Properties on the internet here . Even though search engines dominate the top rankings, it is the retail industry dominating in numbers. It was actually a surprise to see some Weather competition in the midst. How...

I found several plugins that will help are clients such as FeedWrangler , RSS Footer , Zemanta , Bad Behavior ,...
