Khan Academy provides an easy way to download content for later offline viewing. This site, however, seems to try to do the exact opposite!

Using flash to restrict consumption and bugging users with registration offers is not a better way to learn.

A possibly related note: I use two browsers to browse the web in an attempt to protect my privacy (as futile as it seems to be); one is logged in to google, and the other is not.

When using the browser that is logged in, I get 15 "+1"s for google like-like button. however, when using the other browser that's not logged in, I get 0 "+1"s.

Can anyone explain?

.. and will probably fail just as google failed/ing? with social networks.

If you want to dominate an existing market, you have to put everything you have into into it (+ new idea), and that might not be enough.

Yes, but only recently. It's a bad habit I'm trying to break. Like others have stated, it's a keyword.

Wow. They've finally decided to act like the gateway they're supposed to be and will allow me to pay who I want?

That's rich.

I was checking to see if my .asia domain was safe, and found out that .info, .org, and my beloved .asia tld are operated by Afilias which, according to wikipedia, "is headquartered in Dublin".

I'm prepared to believe that wikipedia is wrong, but you'll have to prove it. with references, citations, and what not :)

The companies you are really looking for are Afilias USA, Inc and Afilias LLC. If they were really based out of Ireland, their IP space would be allocated by RIPE (Réseaux IP Européens) instead of ARIN (American Registry for Internet Numbers).
