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.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.
Frappr sucks. It won't let me use my actual zip code. Says it doesn't exist.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

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.

does anyone know how to make an icon? I found some gif's and I'd like to turn one into an icon for my work computer (a G4 Mac).

This was my suggestion but everyone else thinks paypal is *too hard* for custimers. I disagree but apparently I'm "net saavy" and therefore not a good judge.
eta: quester, I always use Photoshop, but I don't know if that's the easiest way.

Stephanie, With any shopping cart program, you're also going to have to have a credit card processor. (ETA: unless you get a shopping cart program that has the processing bundled. I don't know enough to say you can't do that.)
Paypal is a credit card and transfer processor. You can buy shopping cart software, or use Paypal's free shopping cart software, and integrate either with Paypal's payment processors.
Paypal has two programs, one of which sends the buyer to Paypal's website to make the payment and one that processes the payment on your website so they never see Paypal. The cost is $20.00 a month for the second one, plus a fee of ~2.9% per transaction. The information on it is here: [link]
You could start with the first one and then change to the second when you had the orders to support it.
Quester, is there something special about the icon? Are you asking what the size requirements are or where it should be saved or how to make a picture fit the size requirements? Or something else I'm not getting because I don't own a mac?
