"If someone has control of the DOM the game is already over"

Stated as a fact in the title. Stated as a question in the article. Discuss.


This would actually been even cooler to hook into DuckDuckGo's zero click interface. The machine would be able to respond with actual information for lots of queries.

Mathematics calculations, topic summaries, definitions, etc.

Slashdot used to have x-fry and x-bender (Futurama) but it looks like even those headers are gone from slashdot now.


All signs of intelligent life at /. disappeared years ago, as their parent company was repeatedly lobotamized.


By their very nature, all open source licenses are variations of "Ride on my shoulders!"


Those are some good basics.

Tracking user actions can be very useful: I use it on movieterminals.com to see everything that gets typed into each console. The theory being that (one day?) I'll use that to enhance the scripts to work how people expect.

Tracking an event per page 404 or 500 can also be very helpful. If you aren't already using something more robust to track errors you could even setup alerts to watch for those events and contact you.

Goals are good, although funnels are even better.

Finally: if you can afford it I've found that Clicky offers many great advantages over google analytics. More helpful default reports, a better realtime view, etc.


I don't know about UK pricing, but here in the US subscribing to Hulu Plus, Netflix, and specific shows on Amazon and iTunes (e.g. Mythbusters) is still much cheaper than a monthly cable subscription.


UK pricing is very reasonable, the problem we have is things don't make it here until years after release, even with iTunes purchasing. I don't mind it much because I've got used to it and I'll just watch a show once it's available, but it does mean I can't partake in online discussions.

A good example is Breaking Bad, we got Season 4 on Netflix the same day that Season 5 was airing in the US. I won't be able to see Season 5 until Season 6- okay I just checked netflix and they have Breaking Bad season 5!! I love you for inspiring me to check. Hah... see you in 8 hours when I come back to finish this comment and the now invalid complaint.


That's not behind. Nearly all TV shows are at least a season behind on Netflix in the US too.


"I won't be able to see Season 5 until Season 6"

I'm sorry to have to tell you this, but there will be no season 6. Season 5 is the final one – the first half aired this summer, the last 8 episodes will air next summer.

Interesting. You're ahead of US Netflix on that - just checked and I do NOT have access to Breaking Bad Season 5.


Probably because Season 5 hasn't finished yet.

Stupid half-seasons.


I believe that Netflix premiered Season 5 in the UK. In other words, Netflix was the first place for Brits to legitimately watch the latest episodes of Breaking Bad.


Just wait until we start getting the Doctor before you do.


Additionally, ~1/3 of a show's duration on cable is taken up by advertisements. Netflix doesn't have ads.


Read the read of the article.

""" That deal also includes first-run rights to direct-to-video releases, which will begin appearing on Netflix in 2013. What's more, the two companies have also announced a separate multi-year agreement that will see popular Disney catalog titles like Dumbo and Alice in Wonderland be made available on Netflix beginning today. """


It's not even like this is a long article. It's literally a 140 word paragraph.


The Disney catalog is such a big deal that even without the 2016 new releases, this would be newsworthy.


Just about any change can have this effect as long as you perceive the change to be significant.
