No love for google? Nevermind, can someone explain just how important these patents are, or else, how wrong can things go if the consortium decides to do evil things with them?

OK we are taking about vastly different scales here, but there is no absolutely trusted scheme in the world. The US has been printing money since 2008 to cover the losses of the Crisis, so the real world has an advantage here.

I 've just had an interesting discussion with a colleague who feels extremely annoyed when she sees the black social bar when she searches on google. She is now logging out of gmail when searching on google. I fear this may cause a major ba

Add to that the frustration that the thousands of facebook developers feel with the never ending changes and broken documentation. Btw, i believe Zynga is tied to facebook via some agreement. I d really like to know more about google's pl

Google may succeed, because facebook fails to innovate. Facebook has been focusing too much on the broader web but the website itself has been watered down to a newsfeed that is getting more and more bloated by the day. Saturation is gonna

My understanding is that C++ is a highest-level programming language. What would be a higher-than-C++ level language?
132.
by ignifero 15y ago
C++ suffers from too many options/features. There are too many programming paradigms and styles one can use so it may get messy if one is not adherent to a personal style. On the other hand, you might want to check out the STL which is the

Aesthetic reasons aside, in production systems, performance is all that matters.

Question (i 'm not signed up on g+ yet): People seem to be calling circles "groups" while they seem more like the "friend lists" of facebook. Does G+ have discussion groups that anyone can join (and start a twitter revolution)?

I like the overall very positive response from those who used it. I m interested in it as an apps platform, but i haven't got an invite :(

Have you considered the possibility to add more than just up/down votes, but also "agree". I notice that oftentimes people downvote valuable comments just because they disagree, but are too lazy to write a reply (but they don't upvote them

For all the rambling, Google adwords is still more effective, (ergo more lucrative) than Facebook advertising. That's because google knows a lot more than facebook knows about you. We literally tell them what we think every time we search.

You do realize twitter is a form of promotion, aka advertising. Also, isnt that comparing Apples to oranges

They should have launched with a big social game player (obviously not zynga, who has an agreement with Facebook). However there are thousands of independent developers, and remember there were many killer apps before zynga came along.

So, they lost the social graph game and now focus on the popular social game market. It's what zynga failed to do until now. There's huge audience and the monetization is guaranteed if they enroll virtual currency. if they can prove they ca

You mean, not responsive by humans. Facebook's responses, even when given by humans, are appalling. I thought it was just me, but here: http://forum.developers.facebook.net/viewtopic.php?id=100175 http://forum.developers.facebook.net/vie
