The Missing Scoble Post
I really like NetNewsWire, when someone like scoble deletes a post, NetNewsWire saves it so I can still see it and now you can too.
I can see why scoble deleted the post, it's pretty stupid of him. Were you drunk or what?
Sometimes I screw up. My readers let me know within minutes. I pulled a post. I'm sorry.
Looks like my writings are getting my readers to drink. Hmmm. I wish I had an excuse of being under the influence.
Google employees push sites that only work with one browser
Ahh, let me get this right. Google is pushing a single-browser solution. And their employees are advocating putting code on your site that'll turn off Internet Explorer.
I wonder what the reaction from the blogosphere would be if Microsoft tried such a strategy against Firefox?
At least now you know why I said Google would be nuts to do its own browser.
By the way, who has the most standards-based search engine? Hint: it's not Google. Do a "view source" on MSN and Google and you'll see the answer.
Oh, and who has a cookie that lasts until 2038? Ahh, yes, even Google knows the answer to this one!
You can learn that and lots of other things about Google on the Google Watch site.

As an author of the site quoted here I would argue, that Robert Scoble misunderstood the Jason’s post. Google employees were not “advocating putting code on your site that’ll turn off Internet Explorer”, they presented a code, that showed a specific banner to IE users. Every decent ad-network is capable of showing big-display adverts only to low-resolution users.
I bet, later Robert realized that he misread Jason words, and that’s why original Scoble’s post has been deleted.
