True, but not everyday are there that many quakes in that magnitude on the same day (today) located ALL in nearly one area near the coast of Yemen. Based on the post I quoted I found it a rather odd and humorous coincidence.
It was not meant to be any validation of any prediction.. No human or man-made thing can predict the future.
Maybe if you look through the data I posted and do some digging you will see that it is a somewhat anomalous series of quakes. Interesting, and in the context posted rather funny.
I have not seen anyone mention the over 360 earthquakes in the last six months near a town called Guy, Arkansas.

The problem I have is that they charge people.
$10 times thousands is a lot of money.
Yeah...he's only got a $16,000 a month broadband bill to pay for running his software.

and a track record of "predictions" that does not justify the cost, but that is of no consequence as long as he continues to make a profit eh?edit on 14-11-2010 by MrWendal because: (no reason given)
I know you wouldn't make such a statement unless you really knew and had viable information, with that in mind perhaps you would be so kind to tell us all just how much is he making on this venture?

Do you think he's got roughly 1,600 subscribers? What about 5,000? 20,000? 100,000? How many paid for the yearly/lifetime membership (if offered)?
Before you go justifying the monetary end of this argument, there are some very important figures that must be ascertained first.
I've made no claims to any of the numbers you've cited, perhaps you could fill us in on the number of subscribers he does have and more about the "Lifetime Membership" of which I knew nothing of.

If you're referring to the cost of running a web crawler, a $50/month cable connection is fast enough to crawl a million or more pages a day, which is more than enough to get a snapshot of the human consciousness of the day. He might need a small compute cluster to parse, filter, and analyze the data (assuming he does more than just count keywords), but probably nowhere near $16,000 a month.

If this was the case...Google must be running their search engine off a Vic 20...lol

What you might want to do is listen to his interviews where he is asked about the alleged failures and listen to his replies, maybe then you can speak with some credibility. Try to listen to more than a couple....there are many. If I were he and failed as many times as you say, and have allegedly been conning the public for years now, I would have to re-think about granting any interviews at all.
