The average blog post is fairly easy to index and crawl for Google.  However, what happens when a single page has several hundred comments?  How does Google decide what’s important to include in a search query and what to ignore?  Heck, in some cases the comments on a Reddit post are more important than the [...]

You heard about Apple’s press conference from Friday about reception and antenna issues.  Steve said much about nothing and tried to pass the blame around to whomever he could.  However, I want to concentrate on one particular quote that is surprising at first glance:

Directv users have wanted multi-room ability to watch their recorded shows from their dvr on other hd receivers.  Well, now it’s possible.  The Multi-Room DVR beta is probably already on your HD-DVR receiver. Go to your setup menu and look for “multi-room”.
Before I get to how multi-room performs, I *think* the multi-room beta is only available [...]
