Over 77 Percent of Lifehacker Readers Say Google's Search Results are Less Useful Lately
We asked readers last week whether what influential bloggers said was true—that Google was losing the war against search result spam. Your response? More than three quarters found Google prone to spam, with one-third tagging the decline as significant.
Because Google has the biggest market share for search, the spammers go after it more than other search engines.
I can't believe that no one is talking about the iPhone being on Verizon! Or did we completely talk it out during the many times that the rumors surfaced?
More info: Verizon's iPhone is going to annihilate every phone in the U.S.
eta: The Verizon iPhone has a built-in mobile hotspot and redesigned antenna.
Okay, went to Verizon's website and don't see it listed.
Speaking of non Verizon things, what's the best free audio editor for the Mac? I don't need more than clipping and matching up WAVs and MP3.

I think Audacity is very good.
This may be my first ever post in Tech, weird. Hope my question hasn't been answered a dozen times already, 'cause I only read recent stuff.
Anyway, I'm giving serious consideration to the idea of kicking Time Warner to the curb and switching to AT&T U-verse. But I've got stuff on my DVR I'd like to hang on to. What are my options, and does anyone have any recommendations for or against particular methods?
Thanks.
I am very skeptical of this:
Would You Trust the Government to Control Your Online Identity?
Facebook has enough trouble winning trust, but imagine if they were the government. Well, the US government has plans to develop what is essentially their version of Facebook Connect to provide citizens with a single online identity. Would you use it?
ReadWriteWeb reports that the United States government plans to create an identity ecosystem that will allow a user to have a single verified identity and use it to sign in to any site supporting the program. It's basically like the government version of Facebook Connect. Verizon, Google, PayPal, Symantec and AT&T all support the program already, but do you? Would you feel comfortable handing over your single login to the government?
There's a poll on this page - "No" is about 90%.
