Steve spoke last week (March 4th 2010) on the possibilities of the Cloud and the importance to Microsoft. Of our 40,000 people building software, 70% of the people at Microsoft today are working on the Cloud – 90% in a years time In other words: The video is 85mins of Steve and there is an easy way of navigating to some soundbytes on presspass.

I have a website that allows users to display their email address and contact number on their public profile page. These would be in link format, example:

I am a Windows user trying to move over to Ubuntu without much success.
I have installed the 11.10 version as dual boot by using Wubi tool on the Ubuntu website and can only use the operating system for about 5 minutes before it overheats and shuts off the machine.

Here, I would like to discuss with you the subject of on-page search engine optimization (SEO) tactics. SEO is two-pronged, on-page and off-page. On-page is what is says, on the page of your website.
I have a gallery-type website that has about 20k of pages and naturally it uses pagination. However, sometimes /page/2 appears higher in search results than /post/201339 for example.
I'd like to give emphasis to the actual content (posts, videos, whatever the site is about) and not on pages that merely list this content in a paginated matter.
What is the best way to avoid this issue? Maybe a NOINDEX,FOLLOW meta tag on the paginated pages?

http://sourceforge.net/projects/nevernote/files/Current/nevernote-0.99_i386.deb/download
packages from Ubuntu PPA

We are in the process of having a web designer create a new website for us, but I don't want to give access to the control panel for the domain names (and have no way to limit it, it seems), while at the same time I don't want to be the go between guy for editing the settings.
Is there a way or a service for me to point the domains at a 3rd party DNS system, that I can then give access for the web designer, without worrying that he can find my personal info or try and transfer my domain out?

Deep link directory is a directory which allows you to submit internal pages of a website. Submitting to a deep link directory is a great way to increase the backlinks to your site.
Article directories play a vital roll in the way business is done online. These link building websites are an awesome way to spread information in a very short period of time.

This is to prevent duplicate content that may already be in their database and to insure the best quality for their viewers.
I came across a website the other day that was selling backlinks. The site was well designed and promised some results for a nice low price but not too low. After a couple of minutes it started to sound similar to buying email marketing list which I know is not something you do.

I have a web service on Google App engine whose data is updated on a daily basis.
To minimize bandwidth utilization from mobile clients connecting to it, I'd like to instead have an intermediary site where the clients will be getting their data from, and minimizing hits to my service to once or twice a day only.
