Sounds like all you really want is a search function where you could search on a person/circle and a hashtag, then save it. person:Markus Persson tag:#minecraft Of course, this would require the ability to search the stream, which isn't pos

A lot of people I greatly respect do a heck of a lot of work, and the G+ team fits in that model! I'd love to work with them too, but I think maybe when things have calmed down a bit :)

I do think that G+ is going to have some very tricky issues to navigate ahead in terms of integrating with other services. Private messaging is a decently amusing one (I wouldn't be surprised if some thin layer on top of email is introduced

This is a very consumerist outlook (you're American, no?) I don't think many people in Europe spent a large amount of time wishing they lived in the US, I don't think many do now. Europe is not some sub-standard America. When the pound was

Yes, the individualized product names don't really fit with the sandbar. Blogger was probably OK (it's clear what it does), but Picasa doesn't communicate what it does well, and worse, the Sandbar calls it "photos" but then you land at the

So I just looked into what's in the VCards. How it works is you get all your contacts, and the data you're authorized to see . So, people who you're just following and aren't sharing anything with you, just appear as Google Plus links. Peo

I read it the other way; that Twitter were upset about G+ and wouldn't re-sign. I noted a [deleted] post at the bottom of this thread, where the replies indicate that "Twitter couldn't have known about G+", hence I guess the [deleted] post

Well, this isn't exactly the same thing. Moving out of China was simply a case of turning off the servers there. Should Google try and set itself up in the Cayman Islands? Considering the very large stick Google got beat with in regards to

Invites were not random. Google chose those to invite.

Having a good product is not an anti-trust violation. People are free to leave Google Plus at any time. It can be turned on and off. You can take your data in and out. You can go to Bing whenever you like.

No, it's very clear why Google+ is invite only. Google+ is in field test. It needed to be tested publicly in order to start really getting a good understanding of what users are doing and what the scaling problems are. There are already a b

This is bonkers, because Activision Blizzard alone are making money hand over fist with WoW. There's no way that Zynga is worth that much.

If there are things you don't like, the thing to do is send feedback . I can't stress this enough. As it says in the blog post, the changes are coming across months, not days, so there is always time to change course on something given eno

FWIW, Marissa Mayer is now VP of Location and Local, so she has no direct line over Google+.

Once the batteries die, you've basically got a Chevy Cruze + a bunch of weight dragging down MPG, as well as buyers saying "this doesn't work," so I'm expecting it will deprecate through the floor.
527.
by Lewisham 15y ago
I'm actually most concerned about the lifetime of the batteries. From what I've read, the batteries top out at 8 years, and presumably degrade before that. As the $20k Chevy Cruze is the same chassis as the Volt, I guess the batteries come

Obviously, the nav bar has been internal for a while. I was not a big fan when I first saw it either, but now I've grown to quite like it. It's across all the products, and it sort of stamps the page as "you're at Google", much in the same

I think this is a rollout issue, and Gmail will adopt it soon, as the rest of the products have. I don't know what "soon" is. (DISCLAIMER: I work at Google, but do not work on consumer products and have no particular info about this).

I am sure a Chrome extension will appear soon that will let you switch it around.

Indeed. If you don't use Facebook (and I was one of the last hold-outs in my social group), the "friend" terminology will lead you to believe that the people you attach to are actually friends, of which you can only have about 20 real ones.

I'm in the Field Trial. My understanding is that anything in a post can only be seen by the people who can see the post. Thus, if you share with a circle, people who do not know each other can see each others replies. It is all about who yo

My Optimus V has a tiny amount of on-board space, so 8MBs is actually a big deal. Some apps can't move to the SD card, moving there means things like notifications from that app won't work any more. It's a terrible architectural decision, b

I'm sure someone will correct me if I'm wrong, but I'm fairly sure you legally can watch an R-rated movie, it's just the policy of the theater that you don't.

Yeah, it's clear that if Elop had his way, the N9 wouldn't be released at all. Either there's an external contract, or there's some internal promise he made to board members/shareholders. This smells a lot like the Kin launch just to meet

I know where you're coming from, and what you're saying is currently true, I do however fundamentally believe that the death march is not a given. It is a choice that the games industry has made because it: a) Doesn't know any better b) Doe

Agreed. Windows Phone does offer differences to Android, and honestly, there was very little chance Nokia was going to push Meego to the 3rd platform position. If anything, Nokia probably learnt from WebOS. A great OS is not enough to save

But thanks to its kitchen sink attitude, it's not an easy language to come to grips with for someone with an aging memory and a less than full-time commitment. Perhaps this is one of the things that is tripping people up that I'm not doin
