Web Stats (Blogger vs. Analytics)

So I don't know if anyone else has had this problem, but I use both Google Analytic's and bloggers built in version, and they never match up.  I'm not sure witch one is correct, I find that bloggers stats seem like they group in days and its not completely accurate at tracking when a view happens.  Anyone else notice this?

Law VS. Technology

In today's fast past world technology is part of are everyday life, and that has become a problem to lawmakers and has changed how we interpret old laws that were put in place before technology was so main stream.  I came across information about Netflix, and Facebook, and with the popularity of both services why has there been no app that combines the two services.  And that all has to do with a very old law from the 1980's the Video Privacy Protection Act (VPPA).  This has to do with video service providers, disclosing its customers personally identifiable information.  Under VPPA the customer must provide written consent for any information to be shared publicly.  But Netflix has been able to make the system work for them,  were there largest rival Hulu now has a Facebook app.  It is unclear how they were able to get past VPPA but it could end up being a major blow to Netflix.  Were this is just one case of a company trying to progress into markets that are still new to having this level of information being stored and shared and how are future legislator's interpret cases like this will effect how connected are daily life's will be.

What Are Ad's To The Everyday User?

When ever you go to any of your favorite sites, you are going to end up seeing ad's of some kind to help whoever is providing that service to you to pay for there overhead.  Now I know that most people do not like to see pages filled with ad's,  but if the layout and placement of the ad's is well thought out the everyday user will not be distracted from the sites true message because of ad's and this is what i think the best way to show ad's on your websites should be, they should not stick out and block your user from browsing your site but still in a position that will get them viewed and give your users a chance to check them out if there interested, but it should be clean and unobtrusive.
