Steve Jobs Killed Paul Thurrott's Father... And then the heads of Google danced on his grave!
Paul Thurrott, I love you. You're just so misguided. If they could only clone you and put you into White House Press Conferences to ask easy questions of the president, they would. You already have the whole 'brown nose a rich guy' thing down and you've got none of that troubling 'gay prostitute' stuff in your background. I mean, at least as far as we know.
It's not that Paul's a bad journalist. It's that he doesn't try really hard to be a good one. As a fellow journalist, even if in a much smaller league, I've decided to help Paul out with a few tips on how to be a better journalist.
If you're going to accept bribes, do it under the table. Don't do it as 'advertising'.
Here's a good rule to start with, Paul. When your site focuses on the dealings of one company, do not accept advertising from them. I know it hurts your pocketbook, but people might actually believe you when you say 'I love Windows XP' if there wasn't a large 'Buy Office NOW' ad next to it.
Just a thought.
Don't Lie.
It's bad for business and you'll have to keep buying pants when the old pair catches on fire.
Take a quote from this article that Paul did on MSN Search:
So how does Google do? Google finds a whopping 74,100 Michael Jackson images, and like MSN Search, it does offer Large, Medium, and Small filtering. But you can't display only color or black and white images, and good luck finding what you want in a list of images that long. On the other hand, more is arguably "better" when it comes to search results, though "relevancy" trumps volume.
Wow, Paul. That's a great point. Except for that part about it being wrong.
Google does indeed let you sort by image coloration. It's just on the Avanced Image Search Page. You know, because it's an advanced feature and all. Just because a feature isn't on the main page, that doesn't mean it doesn't exist.
Google Image search also lets you search for 'Grayscale images' seperate from 'black & white' images because they are actually two different thigns. GIS also allows you to restrict an image search to a specific domain and even find images that are specifically not related to a subject. Not seeing those on MSN Search.
