I think Chrome will eat more IE market share than Firefox and Safari in the following years, mostly because Google's massive advertisement capacity. More likely because Google is big and ubiquitous, and people trust them. "Oh look, Google

Anecdotally this seems true to me—when moving to London 4 years ago I was taken aback by the cost, but recent visits to my hometown of Sydney has also surprised me at how much it's "caught up" with London. Bit surprised Moscow is lower than

Culture shock to me, as someone who has visited 20-ish countries and lived in 2, is more that "things are almost normal and like what you're used to, but just not enough to be comfortable", and as a result you end up perpetually on edge and

Not hiding from anyone, or especially worried—I was just inquiring if Google Apps Premium (or Standard) would address the grandparent's privacy concern: thought maybe there was a clause in the T&Cs I missed or similar.

by intranation 17y ago
Is Google Apps premium guaranteed to actually protect you from the aforementioned privacy concerns? It's still on Google's servers.

I've heard Crockford use that quote in a few Yahoo! talks (when I used to work there). It's probably on one of his slides from either: "Javascript: The Good Bits" or one around the same time.

So after downloading it and installing it (and waiting for my trial email), I found out that: - It lacks headless mode; and - It clobbers your 2.0x install completely. If anyone wants to reverse the install like I did, you can still downloa

They're missing headless mode, which is a deal breaker for me.

As pointless as this post is, I have to say that Dropbox is one of my favourite applications around. It's truly the epitome of "Just Works". That said, I'd love it if they introduced a lower price plan—I want to give them money, but I don't

It's free (unlike iDisk), and in my experience Dropbox sync on the desktop is a hell of a lot faster and smoother. Obviously it doesn't provide the other features MobileMe does, like syncing Preferences, KeyChains etc. But I'd be a very hap
