Some people may disagree with me, but I think 350 replaces 340. 350's got a long range and it's extremely fuel efficient (more so than the new 787). 340 is a four engine airliner and it's not fuel efficient at all. That fact

Love this. Couple of suggestions: - Please add folder support. - I'm sure the text look beautiful on Macs, but it's not easy to read my feeds with that grey-ish text on Windows. Can't you make the text a bit bolder or darker? - It's obvious

This is AWESOME. My personal website looks like this[1] and I've wasted insane amount of time to get the color scheme right. I still think it's terrible, but I went with the scheme I was most comfortable with. This website will help me a lo

Not exactly. You have to talk to it in order for it to translate a text. Something like "OK Glass, say something something in Japanese".

I expect the same things from my RSS Reader. I also liked the Old Reader but had the same problems as you do. I also hated that there was no login option if you don't have a Google or a Facebook account, but there's one now. Having said tha

I'm on a pretty old laptop and this runs extremely well on Windows 7 (using Nightly). I also tried it on Xubuntu 13.04, but I couldn't get it to run (I tried it on Chromium and Firefox). As for the demo, I'm stunned. It's incredible.

This is the same guy who uses a Blackberry rather an Android phone, yet he says the society is afraid of change? Talk about irony.

I don't think the quality is that bad, actually. In low light situations the camera obviously suffers, but that's not a big surprise, considering how small the lens is. Then again, I know nothing about photography.

"I believe Larry Page is moving Google from an advertising-based company to a commerce based company." Maybe I'm not reading this sentence right, but isn't it quite obvious that Page is doing the quite opposite?

Yes, but I don't think they've ever claimed that the picture quality of the camera was great. They emphasized on the camera a lot because taking pictures with the Glass is way more personal than taking a picture with a traditional camera. A

It's not as bad as it used to be, actually. It used to be a deal breaker for me, but now even though I still don't like it, I don't mind it either.

As a Windows and a Linux user, it's really weird to see people here complaining about how long it took for Twitter to release this app. At least Mac has a proper app (and a lot of awesome alternatives). Consider yourselves lucky. I'm not sa

I don't hate it, but some websites implement it so badly. Sometimes I want to reach the career or about page of a website, but it's hard to do that when the page is constantly scrolling. I usually end up typing /about at the end of the URL.

I feel like comparing these two is sort of like comparing Android vs iOS, am I wrong? Netflix has more subscribers because it's cheaper. HBO on the other hand has less subscribers, but I'm guessing that they make more profit than Netflix. A

I'm not a software engineer and I do not know how to code but I do know Apple's business practices and I agree with you, they're not great (but I also think it makes sense for them). But where did you come up with stuff like "In a future co

Well, that's a bummer. Why do they include services like iTunes and Spotify if they were going to limit the product's availability? I doubt that I'd use the service regularly, but I was excited to check it out.

I'm sorry but do you really need to enable G+ to do all those things? I've enabled G+ long time ago without Google asking me to, so I'm genuinely asking. I'm too lazy to create an account just to check it out.

Looks promising, but I only get to use it for a minute, then I started getting 508 errors. If it gets more stable and faster, I may consider switching to this from the Old Reader.

I agree with some of the things you've said. I actually ordered myself a Fender Jazz Bass just yesterday and I've never even played any type of guitar in my life. But even though I went with that "buy the expensive guitar then it wouldn't

I don't know much about this class, so I can't really say what's the difference between this class and watching a video on YouTube, but I took a couple of courses on Coursera and I have to say, there's a big difference (generally speaking).

Agreed. I feel like Firefox has become the old Chrome (fast, reliable) and Chrome has become the old Firefox (slow, unreliable, ugly[1]) lately. [1] Chrome still looks quite decent as of right now but the new UI changes on its beta build ma

I have a question: Would anyone still be bothered by all the privacy stuff if Glass didn't have a camera? I guess then it'd be a redundant technology (is there such a thing?), but I assume people wouldn't be so concerned about their privacy

It's definitely refreshing to see. I don't like the Glass project but kudos to him for being straightforward about it regarding its obvious problems. He's too nervous when he's making a joke though. Those moments are borderline cringeworthy
