Amr Awadallah Blog

I am moving my blog from yahoo 360 to yahoo web hosting since it now offers nice integration with Word Press. The 360 blog is really ok for beginner users. I decided to move for the following reasons:

1. I wanted to add content-match ads from YPN (which I have in the new blog)
2. I wanted to get stats on visitors, referrals, etc.
3. I wanted pagerank/webrank scores to be shared with my main domain (awadallah.com)
4. I wanted to post more than one photo per blog entry, and add video too.
5. I wanted to easily spell check my posts.

Going forward you can reach my blog postings here, and the RSS2 feed is at:

My old 360 blog is at:

Try this search on Google: 1 – 0.9 – 0.1

the answer they give is: 1 – 0.9 – 0.1 = -2.77555756 × 10^-17

of course the right answer is zero, which is what Yahoo Search gives:

1 – 0.9 – 0.1 = 0

to illustrate the problem with Google rounding:

1 / ((1 – 0.9 – 0.1) * (10^17)) = -0.36028797

when the right answer should be infinity, however yahoo gives this same wrong answer too:

1/((1 – 0.9 – 0.1) * (10^17)) = -0.3602879702
