Useless Commit Count Data for Webkit development Still Inconclusive

ok, I reworded the headline a bit but this is really how it is. The first chart techcrunch used was just the top right part of the full chart. The full chart is much less impressive.

LLVM Project Blog: Clang Successfully Self-Hosts!

Today, Clang completed its first complete self-host! We built all of LLVM and Clang with Clang (over 550k lines of C++ code). The resulting binaries passed all of Clang and LLVM's regression test suites, and the Clang-built Clang could then build all of LLVM and Clang again. The third-stage Clang was also fully-functional, completing the bootstrap.

Congratulations to all of the Clang developers on this amazing achievement!

we have gone full circle ;)

Facebook Shows Its Cards With Bing on Ad Strategy: Full House

By increasing the capabilities of the on-site search, Facebook is hoping to become your one and only portal to the web. If Facebook can get its users to perform on-site searches, it can not only keep you on the site longer, but like Google, it can gather even more information about its users through their searches. This stuff is advertising gold.

they do have a bit of traffic but I have to say I never searched for anything other than people on Facebook.

Why Google is Bad for the Newspaper Business « blog maverick

When that newspaper allows itself to be included in Google News it becomes a de facto endorsement of Google News as an acceptable and probably preferable “discovery destination” . The branding message to the consumer is “I dont need to go to the newspaper homepage. Everything the newspaper has  is referenced  here in Google News. So if there is something of interest to me from the local paper, Google News will send me to their site.  I don’t need to go to both sites any longer. I can just go to Google News.

good one by mark :)

Microsoft on Bing: "We Intend to Make a Profit"

The only problem I see is that it is not one dimension. Traffic does not equal revenue. A large part of why Google makes money is that they are very good in the keyword matching part. What goes where and why. Important: Google's definition is a lot more loose than Yahoo!'s is from what I hear/see.
