As Default Search ProviderThu, 11/20/2008 - 09:16 by Greg SterlingMirroring a deal that already exists in Europe, Yahoo! will become the default search provider for T-Mobile USA's new "Web2go" portal.

Yahoo is now the default search provider on two of the four major US carriers; AT&T is the other one.T-Mobile, of course, just released the G1 (the google Phone). I was

A Tale of Two Page Hits
I keep falling into this trap. If you see the phenomenon of a page being hit twice on a single request, read the following:Page Events Raised Twice Conversion to Web Application Project Resets AutoEventWireupIn the same vein: Session_Start or Session_OnStart?.Old P&P documentation on singletons used to have an example along these lines: public sealed class Singleton { private static Singleton instance; private Singleton () { } public static Singleton GetInstance () { lock (typeof (Si

jQuery(Sulky)
You know how you find a nice, secluded, family beach/park/etc…And then a local reporter stumbles upon and writes an article about it…And then the beach/park gets crowded and littered and loses its nice, secluded feel?This is how I feel about jQuery right now. *sigh*When I was starting out in .NET a while ago, I used to read architectural “guidance” put out by Microsoft’s very own Patterns & Practices group. Back then, the guidance was sound enough because we were all in the same boa
