I think he meant HN (Hacker News)

It's not that Google is trying to outsmart its own search engine, but verifying something that SEOs already know. Paid links still work. Google has not mastered sniffing them out yet. That all assumes that Google is paying for these links in hopes for SEO benefit.

While I completely agree with you, the one thing I question about the restaurant tv example is, does the child zone into the tv because it is something they rarely experience and provides changing imagery that catches their eye?

Again, I don't disagree with the overall point, I just wonder if their interest that you are experiencing is due to the intrigue of something new and not necessary zoning out just because it is a tv.

Is the NYT the new paid search police? I love that someone is targeting these black hat tactics but it is interesting that the NYT keeps publishing articles with sites and sending findings to google. I guess if it keeps putting google and the buyers in the media it will help with the ultimate goal.

wow... not even close. It is like he does not understand the point of SEO.

Your call to action needs to stand out more by using a color that will pop. It currently blends into the rest of the page. Instead of "Register Now" it should say something like "Start Tracking Your Goals".

I worked at a startup that had the same policy. As long as the team is responsible and driven it is not an issue.

Twitter bought Twittie (very popular twitter app at the time)

In your case I would do a couple of searches on Youtube for video and Google images/Flickr and compare the number of results that they report. That should give you a high level idea on the amount of content out there for your topics.

I will do a strip search if they can promise me that there is zero chance the plane wont blow up.

"Almost half of the top 100-selling iPhone apps are for preschool or elementary-aged kids"

I have a 15 month old and he loves watching us play colorful games or apps and his attentiveness has amused me, especially because he has no interest in TV.

I only notice it when I am using Chrome.

not even close

...and they have Flash. It is a bigger deal than most think. 85 of the top 100 sites use Flash to some extent.

An update from VentureBeat - Apple tablet reps spotted at LA hospital

So the government should get it (in the form of taxes)?

Why don't you like working in ActionScript?

that is not logical because everyone wants their content found and there are only 10 spots on the first page (and adding more results per page does not fix the issue)

At some point you need a way to rank the sites

this is the exact issue I saw as an intern at an architecture firm right before I dropped out of it as a major

I submitted this exact article from the same source an hour and half before this submission. How does that work?

maybe the people that did not read it last night (now that it is lower on the main list) are reading it for the first time. Some people don't live on YC News.

Since (at the time I write this) 11 people have up-voted it, there is interest in the story

I work with a couple of agencies and the creatives are moving to iMacs. Cost less and built in monitor. The only people that use the MacPros are video editors.

It is a valid concern, but it would need to be bad to keep from launching (and thus improving based on analytics).

It also depends on your audience. Are they more web savvy?

Not too much information yet...look at the size of the people compared to the crater in the pic
