Previously, we had a dual-purposed feedback system - an “up” vote was based on agreement, but a “down” vote was based on specific rules. We’ve changed the way things work around here, read …

The second this Yahoo! acquisition deal goes through, as it inevitably will if Microsoft follows its foolish course, Yahoo! won't be worth what Microsoft paid for it.

Reputation and goodwill are everything on the Internet. Absolutely everything. When Facebook got a reputation as "The Next MySpace," users defected in droves. As YouTube built up a reputation as the coolest video-sharing site, everyone flocked to it, giving it a (self-fulfilling) reputation as the site with the most content, as well. And when Google bought YouTube, that was OK, because Google had a good reputation too. In fact, user goodwill toward Google is so strong that a huge group of Web users and bloggers stand ready to adopt any ol' app Google rolls out, whether it's best in class or not.

And that's why Microsoft's latest move against Yahoo! is so wrong-headed. Like a spurned suitor that just can't take no for an answer, Microsoft is reportedly ready to get nasty, taking the war into Yahoo's own boardroom with a proxy fight for control of the company.

Microsoft's recent takeover bid was not unanimously opposed by the Yahoo! board, so Microsoft is hoping to enlist acquisition-friendly board members as proxies who will elect more friendlies to the board, softening Yahoo!'s defenses until it succumbs.

But then what? The spurned suitor has cajoled and bullied his quarry into a forced marriage, and everybody knows it. Forget for a second how a nasty, underhanded takeover plays in the minds of Yahoo!'s engineers and developers; think of what it does to the public's perception of both companies.

To get a sense of how much reputation matters in the tech world, look at just a ...

“Although I have some doubts that XFCE is ’so very much lighter’ than GNOME (GNOME 2.20 doesn’t take too much memory whether you don’t start all kind of crap), it is still lighter, and in a few years there will be less and less antiquated computers who require extra-light window managers (Fluxbox, O…

My girlfriend and I have so many DVDs in our house that we need to find some way to store them without stacking them on the floor. Even so, we're not the worst DVD collectors I know; some of our friends have more than we do. If you also have too many DVDs but don't want to stop collecting, Peerflix might be able to help. The service gives movie fans a place to sell videos and make money, buy used videos cheaply, keep track of the videos they own, and review movies that they've seen.

If you're a real movie fan, you probably have dozens upon dozens of old VHS tapes and DVDs lying around your house. You also probably have at least some that you're willing to part with. Peerflix can help you get rid of them. The service is part social network and part movie trading site, where you can review your favorite films, read reviews and comments from other Peerflix members, and ultimately sell parts of your movie collection you're willing to part with, to get videos you want from other people.

Peerflix allows you to create a database of all of the movies that you own. You just type in the barcodes from your videos, and the service will look them up and build your library. All you have to do is sign up (accounts at Peerflix are free). Once you have your library stocked with all your videos (or just the ones you're willing to part with), you build a second list of videos that other members on the site have that you're interested ...
