I'd settle for them actually releasing new visual themes for Gmail. They've had the same cartoony themes for near 8 years now I think. Maybe longer. I liked them initially, but that was it. They don't even allow anyone to sub

Yes, they do, QQ being exhibit A. But League of Legends was supposed to be their first major step into the larger world of 100 million player+ games, worldwide. Riot has yet to produce another game, and their seat atop the gaming market is

I'm in a similar place, with Mint on a desktop and laptop for some time now. The real issue is never on the desktop: it always runs fine. However, the laptop seems to have developed driver issues over time, to the point where the track

They did this before. Used to have Binkiland included in the installer from Soureceforge. They stopped, but obviously they're right back at it again.

Oakland needs this help so badly. Call 911 on a cell in Oakland, and you're going to wait on hold for 30 minutes, most of which will be you being transfered to the wrong departments over and over. You start at a call center somewhere i

Microsoft makes the most stable, easiest to use desktop OS, especially since Apple started slowing dwindling MacOS to make it into some kind of iOS varient. Windows still drives me nuts, has ads, gets stuck in tablet mode when I'm on a

Agreed, totally different things. Hypercard was for sharing hyperlinked information. Scratch is for teaching kindergartners how to program in an object-oriented fashion.

Actually, I feel my comment is about as even handed as I could muster. Aspergers or not, he hurt a lot of people.

Honestly, I can't comment on that. I know Adrian was a SERIOUSLY good social engineer, and a fair to middling hacker. The chat logs show Adrian going very in depth with Chelsea, so if he thought the FBI was watching, he was purposefull

So, I'm gonna lay it out here as I am having a bad day and don't feel like censoring myself. I'd known Adrian since 1998. He came to 2600 meetings in SF and was a fixture there. In that time, he generally didn't make any

I live 5 blocks from where these two grew up in Oakland. I've always seen them as role models. I admire their work greatly, and seek to replicate it in video game preservation.

Twitter is experiencing something of a resurgence these days, with user numbers growing since Trump. Basically, Twitter managed to squeeze growth out of its decision not to censor bigots, stalkers, and outright maniacs. Now they're rea

Gates is doing this because in a few short years he went from America's darling super rich success story, to the monopolistic Satan most of us tech people remember. He was not prepared for being vilified so quickly and completely durin

Ad-driven revenue models are just not reliable long term for media publications anymore. All these sites dying or having issues were built on the old world model created by newspapers 200 years ago. These models aren't even working for

Ex-Ziff'er here. That company seems to exist to be sold. Back in late 1990's it was split and sold: Things like Gamespot and TechTV came out of it. Now, what's being sold is a husk of the old media empire. Kinda like Atari: m
