It went somewhat unnoticed, but Yahoo! today announced it’s Yahoo! Web Analytics package which is intended to compete with the wildly popular Google Analytics. I’ve spent quite a few hours in analytics packages over the years ranging from very amateurish to enterprise grade. Google Analytics is a very good product but it does have limitations. The biggest limitation is the lack of real-time reporting. Google Analytics takes a few hours, making it for most people ...

INX is an interesting Linux distro released today, which is based on Ubuntu 8.04 LTS and it is console only, without any graphical “X” programs. According to the release note INX is intended as a ‘tutorial’ and “introduction to the Bash command line”. It is important to note that INX is not the only console-only Linux distro. However their intention seems to be clear, as they are looking to build a console only “liveCD” distro ...

Always know where you are. You’ve arrived in a new city, a new continent, a new coffee shop. You don’t really know where you are, and are looking for a good place to eat. You pull out your laptop, fire up Firefox, and go to your favorite review site. It automatically deduces your location, and serves up some delicious suggestions a couple blocks away and plots directions there. In order for this to be a ...

What is beatiful code? The shortest answer (which I've read somewhere but can't remember where) is:we all know what "ugly code" is: code that someone else wrote...But beautiful code? Isn't it in the eye of the beholder? Well, for me, beautiful equals readable. You have to see on the first sight what the overall idea of the piece of code is. On the other side, the idea itself might be crap (!!!) but then we ...

In Day 2 of links week, we'd like to discuss the importance of link architecture and answer more advanced questions on the topic. Link architecture—the method of internal linking on your site—is a crucial step in site design if you want your site indexed by search engines. It plays a critical role in Googlebot's ability to find your site's pages and ensures that your visitors can navigate and enjoy your site.Keep important pages within several ...

Recovering from my last note, this is an opposite post, and hopefully a little more positive one. A simple, black wallpaper that shows some of the more common (and some less common) commands and what they do. It might be an interesting twist to a dark-themed setup, or even better, as the backdrop for a transparent tiled desktop. Hmm. The only downsides, as I can see, is that stretching or squishing it to any other ...

co-authored with Grig Gheorghiu Background The dd command is one of those ancient UNIX tools that is extremely powerful, yet at the same time, the syntax can make it feel slightly archaic. A lot of seasoned sysadmins and developers still remember the first time they saw the dd command used by a bearded wizard. He might have used it to test the disk I/O, capture a disk image, or restore it. In some ways, dd ...

Posted by Arielle Reinstein, Gmail Product Marketing ManagerFirst, if you don't have Gmail keyboard shortcuts enabled, turn them on in Settings. You'll be glad you did. If you spend a lot of time in Gmail, you'll start shaving milliseconds of every action, which adds up. Get through a hundred or so messages every day and you'll end up with extra minutes each week to read your favorite blogs in Reader -- using Reader's keyboard shortcuts ...

I need to start doing this. I use J and K in Reader, but haven't taken the time to learn the Gmail shortcuts. Perhaps today is the day I leave this post up and start learning?

Isn't there something archaic about shortcuts? I can't live without them but someone needs to solve the problems... overlapping shortcuts over different apps, shortcuts should be based on language or anything that isn't random letters assigned to functions.

Did you know that millions of bloggers around the world write new posts each week? If you're like me, you probably read only a tiny fraction of these in Google Reader. What's everybody else writing about? Our Blog Search team thought this was an interesting enough question to look into. What we found was a massive mix: entertaining items about celebrities, personal perspectives on political figures, cutting-edge (and sometimes unverified) news stories, and a range ...

Apparently you can’t get away forever with fooling users into thinking they have malware on their system when they really don’t, and then offering to sell them a “removal tool” that does absolutely nothing but remove the fake alerts. The creators of such programs as Antivirus XP, Registry Cleaner XP and WinDefender are getting sued by Microsoft and the state of Washington under the state’s Computer Spyware Act which prohibits making false claims of spyware ...
