It's interesting to see that Malaysia is one of the few countries where IIS is dominant. But it's not a big surprise because Microsoft is very strongly entrenched in the Malaysian IT mindset, definitely more so than in Europe or US. And although i'm a long-time IIS supporter, these figures have made me realize that we don't really care either way. A rough mental count tells me that 30% of our websites are on IIS, and 70% on Apache.    Rank Country Apache% IIS%   1 Japan 73 9   2= Indonesia 70 23   2= Korea 70 25   - Global average 67 21   4= Philippines 60 24   4= New Zealand 60 30    6 Pakistan 57 28   7= Thailand 54 38   7= Australia 54 38    9 Taiwan 47 46   10 Singapore 45 40   11 Malaysia 42 51   12 India 41 49   13 China 35 56

Recently, GuitarWorld magazine published a list of top 100 of the worst guitar solos, riffs and licks of all time. I am a big sucker for this sort of thing, so I swallowed the $7.95 price to purchase it, with a good expectation of what would be included. Just as literary scholars have a canon of great literature, the guitarist community has a canon of really awful guitar solos - including, for instance, Neil Young's infamous one-note Cinnamon Girl solo, anything by Van Halen, and anything played by Kurt Cobain. When I turned to the list, I suffered a cruel, horrible shock.

Having a No. 1 album just isnât what it used to be. This week Alicia Keys is back atop the Billboard chart with âAs I Amâ (J), but the 61,000 copies it has sold is barely above the historic low for a No. 1 album, Nielsen SoundScan reported. The âJunoâ soundtrack, on Rhino, fell to No. 2, with 55,000 sold. New releases dot the chart this week. The Mars Volta, which revels in head-spinningly complex progressive rock, opened in the third spot with 54,000 sales of âFrances the Muteâ (Universal); the Welsh heavy metal band Bullet for My Valentine reached fourth place with âScream Aim Fireâ (Jive), selling 53,000; and the â2008 Grammy Nomineesâ compilation (Hip-O/Universal) moved 50,000, opening at No. 5. The remix album âHannah Montana 2: Non-Stop Dance Partyâ (Disney) bowed at No. 7, and Vampire Weekend, the acclaimed New York indie band, reached No. 17 with its self-titled debut on the XL label.

Tycho:  After seeing Chore Wars mentioned yesterday, the opportunities for manipulating people seemed...  rich.  The possibilities for mashups based on this data are also rich - I wonder if it could be exposed, somehow.  When my charge is old enough to manipulate in this way, my crib is going to fucking sparkle.
