Sometimes when the service is not ready for immediate consumption, devs are bound to release it as a freemium or just free - if they have to release for some reason. There are so many web services are coming out everyday, people cannot just

I really do not see how one can infer this, seeing there was no move, no migration! So, Google is supposed to add everything to Plus without asking users or later ask users "hey guys, just add whatever was there in your Reader account to yo

It was sort of tit for tat. Purchase of Motorola was one step. The day Google announces the buy, the next day Samsung announced a big strategic partnership with MS[1] and the CEO clearly said in the press conference they were not aware of t

Right. When I got my G+ invite after weeks of desire to have a look what it's like, I list interest and I have only 2 posts on G+ till now, last was made 11 months ago. Not only it was late, it was an utter disappointment. Now, I use Facebo

I am thinking of switching to them(personal usage). I've had a Google Voice for a long time but seeing no way to easily use it from my phone or desktop I guess I'll rather dump them, they don't seem to do much good with GV either. Maybe it

Education is costly, so much that in sometime it's going to be elite only. Hell, it's elite only right now, minus the huge loans. So, instead of making it affordable, elites(whether they reached their elite spot on talent alone or they were

I used to work at Samsung. Left after 2.5 years. From your comments, two things are obvious: 1. You have no idea what you are talking about or what he was talking about. 2. Your comment is top-voted and that's bad. Leave alone whining. This

Yeah. Right. See, people make it sound as if you have to keep standing or work standing for durations like 6-7-8 hours. Which is just very difficult. It's not good for your feet either.

With Google focussing on G+ like crazies(even though I don't know many people who use this service) and seeing Hangout is almost fused in G+, this very much looks like a Google Reader waiting to happen for Google Talk.

My heels hurt if I walk I stand for more than 15 minutes continuously. It's not a severe pan so I do it anyway but I do not feel as comfortable as I used to do 1-2 years ago. I am 27. In Bangalore. I've seen doctors here. All of them I do

Why so? For a shared hosting provider I've read around they are offering pretty good stuff. Anything specific?

I doubt the latter case is not a breach of contract IMHO. The thing is, my job is not to implement a search box when I'm told to, but my job is also to tell my employer that a search box is needed when asked about s possible new feature - A

FastMail users might find this Opera a little less pleasant to the ears. Just an observation not related to the browser.

Okay, I have used both but didn't find Disconnect(good too) even near Ghostery or ABP(have used this too); ABP is bulky that's true.. Though I've been uneasy since Ghostery went closed source[1] but it's so easy to use and light on the brow
