Hi, I've been studying the Google authentication API (AuthSub)...My question is, how do I get the user's account information (at least his Gmail address) after the authentication has passed?

Someone asked a question, what was the most important bookmark for a Developer, and it got me thinking. I personally answered Google of course. I have felt for the longest time that Google is the most indispensible tool for the developer as you can literally find anything you need by using well formed searches. Which brings me to my ques...
I have the constant need to Google error messages to try to find out what they mean and what solutions people might have. Usually those error messages were posted in some newsgroup. Unfortunately, Google's results (even when it says "similar results removed") usually consist of many copies of the exact same message (usually with some non...
I've always been interested in developing a web search engine. What's a good place to start? I've heard of Lucene, but I'm not a big Java guy. Any other good resources or open source projects? I understand it's a huge under-taking, but that's part of the appeal. I'm not looking to create the next Google, just something I can use to ...

What are the technologies and programming decisions that make Google able to serve a query so fast?

I'm setting up a number sites right now and many of them have multiple domains. The question is: do I alias the domain (with ServerAlias) or do I Redirect the request? Obviously ServerAlias is better/easier from a readability or scripting perspective. I have heard however that Google likes it better if everything redirects to one dom...

This is a new gmail labs feature that lets you specify an RSS feed to grab random quotes from to append to your email signature.
