After seeing Yahoo's behavior on a couple different searches, I'd never believe those page count numbers to represent unique, searchable pages. I would expect a lot of duplicate content in there.

I also think he means "pitted" not "pitched".

A fantastic step toward fulfilling part of Tim Berners-Lee's original vision for the web. Hopefully this will become a defacto standard of sorts. Annotea never quite caught on. When this does become popular, watch for sites to generate url's on the fly to defeat bad comments. Can't wait to see hackers create compatible versions that support other blogs and browsers. Let's get it working for physical locations too!

Everybody thinks it's because TV watching is sedentary, you're just sitting there for hours—but that's only about one-third of the effect.

"Then the vendors discovered that the consumers were more interested in quality and reliability; only one out of every four purchases is based solely on price." (emphasis mine) No mention of how many purchases were based solely on quality or solely on reliability. It would've been much more informative to know when price is the most important factor in choosing where to buy, not what.
