Thanks, Betsy. I obviously need to work out how to turn that off for my high-volume sites.

Got a question about technology? Ask it here. Discussion of hardware, software, TiVos, multi-region DVDs, Windows, Macs, LINUX, hand-helds, iPods, anything tech related. Better than any helpdesk!
I didn't read the FAQ carefully. You're right, Bon; it's both a cache and a pre-fetcher. But it isn't going to follow every link; just the "likely" ones, whatever that means.
An attempt at statistical probability?
The article was also pointing out that for web based apps that are running things like administration pages Google Accelerator was clicking links that did things like modify layout and delete items in the attempts to prefetch.
Frappr sucks. It won't let me use my actual zip code. Says it doesn't exist.
Frappr recognized that Lakewood isn't Cleveland. Yahoo doesn't seem to know that.
Does Google Maps recognise your zip code? (I'm assuming it does).
It does. Frappr is discriminating against tiny post offices. Pillocks.
I have a hiveminded tech question. Joe and I are in the middle of setting up a coffee roasting business. We have a website (www.simcoffees.com) and now we need to add a shopping cart capability. Does anyone have any suggestions about how to go about doing this? We have seen some companies that will allow you to take credit cards (I don't know all the terminology yet) but many of them seem to charge a lot. We only have one product (bag of roasted coffee) so I don't know that we need something fancy.
Any suggestions?
If you're only going to have a few products, one of the simplest approaches is PayPal's merchant services.
