Another weird product from Google. I have an impression (I might be wrong) that decisions there are made by a) hardcore geeks, b) “politicians”/ideologues. It manifests in company’s complete inability to connect with real-world everyda

I like the idea. However, am I the only person who haven’t used an actual phone for years and is relying mostly on internet messaging services? So we should get an e-ink phone with only messenger apps installed and simplified UI to switch b

Why is Googleʼs design so bad then if they have such a tough interview process? Corporate structure/culture kills even best-of-the best talentʼs initiative? I think, what they need is non-conformism. But they donʼt select presumably

So how many programmers you know use a professional keyboard, say? I don't want to provide free advertisement here so I won't mention any brands. But the ones that have hands separated and keys placed in recessions for comfortable

I am glad about my decision to switch away from the Apple smartphone. Now I'm also thinking that I shouldn't wait for their laptops lineup update as well. There's our little way of fighting for justice and for society's
