I don't get size biasing in statistics

Google is taking over the world.

Google's stated mission -- "to organize the world's information and make it universally accessible and useful" -- is nearly met. Recently, Google began service in Romansh, a language employed by 35,000 Swiss. We pose the question: If Google grew in June by adding Romansh, how will it grow in July -- by addressing Antarctica's penguin population? We suspect not. Instead, once Google corners the last bit of global information, it will turn to organizing users of information -- i.e., humanity -- making us universally accessible and useful.
How to get rich... slow?

What to do with benches when it's too hot to sit outside.

Emirates must have the world’s biggest marketing department.

How to acquire and maintain loyal customers through mobile media.

Is Microsoft reacting to Apple's tiger or does it have its sights on popular technology?

Google hits a nerve with copyright publishers for wanting to digitize college textbooks. Frankly I think it's an excellent idea if the legals can be sorted. All you JDs out there, go get tech degrees. Lots of money in that department.

Lots of entertainment for diners in restaurants but nobody has developed the buzzer to call your server at the table! Why is this?! Am I the only one who thinks this is a good idea?

Smart fabric that knows how it's being touched by the wearer. Would have to stop obsessively pulling down my shirt if this is to be of value.
