Why do tabbed browsers not copy over your browsing history when you click on a link to open in a new tab? I often open up a lot of links in new tabs and then am frustrated when I am unable to go back from the newly opened tab.

On the Groupon IPO thread someone mentioned people selling scraped groupon deal data. To satisfy my curiosity I made my own. Pretty interesting to play around with the data and see how much money their deals are making.

After reading some stuff about how ridiculously opaque hospital/specialist billing can be, I wondered if it's possible for me to compare health care costs geographically, by type of procedure, etc. I know these data exist and are publicly available, but it seems like it is mostly controlled by government agencies and is hardly consumer-friendly.
