I haven't had a bad experience with Google's technical support either, but their technical support tends to work like this: 1. Hunt for solutions to your problem on forums. 2. Discover the magic link where you can submit a form wi

Yes, but how bad would you feel if you had been promised 171Mbps for a higher price and you only really attained 70-90 because you had to share the bandwidth with your neighbors? In your case, they could probably offer more than 50MBps, but

You need to upgrade your router. I was using a cheapo D-Link router when I first got my ChromeCast and the connection was awful. Range to laptops and devices was terrible and the connection always dropped. I bought an ASUS router for $150 a

I like the voice search idea, but I'm still hooked on the Chromecast / HDMI on a stick form factor. I just don't see the point in cables anymore. The UI looks neat and I'm really impressed with Amazon's search resul

I really like the idea of apps that overlay data and interact with the currently focused apps. Over at blekko we have incorporated a similar technique within two of our Android apps. We wanted to add functionality to the Android system that

It's the fact that everything you do with Google Chrome is tracked by Google. Nevertheless, Google Chrome makes my life easier, so I don't mind giving them my usage information if in the end it all works out in my favor. Some peop

Yes, but their brand is getting a hell of a beating because of this right now. I own Fluke and now I'm thinking of switching because of their stupidity. People that buy a Fluke product buy it not only because it's yellow, but beca

Minor anti-Comcast rant: I have an important event coming up on April 29th: The Comcast 2 year contract expires. I can't wait till I get to make that phone call and cancel the service. Amazon has such a superior product to anything out

Google Drive allows Google to create a more 'accurate' fingerprint of who you are by examining everything you create. This clearly has huge value... Possibly even more than Google+ if used correctly. The better they get at identif

I actually feel that many people, especially poor people, benefited from the Netbook craze. At the time, I worked at a computer store in Sunnyvale, CA selling many different types of used PCs. Netbooks allowed many people to purchase a full

Quick question. How much CPU usage/time does the monitoring tool itself utilize ?

Wow, that's a generic list indeed. I may need to come up with some non-scientific way to tell which songs go well together... Maybe I'll have to take into account the current alignment of the stars.

Or someone within Stripe, with access to the user-sign up list, is an affiliate with BlueSnap and is trying to make some extra money on the side. An evil thought, and I'm fairly sure it isn't the case, but totally possible.

Slightly off-topic... Sorry. If you don't mind me asking, what country are you from? I ask because I find this strange, since here in the San Francisco bay area, I find it difficult to get 'away' from an internet connection.

I've been working on a project where I'm building my own 'Echo Nest' type of API to feed it. I didn't want to rely on their API since I felt I could offer something better/different. With it, I have been slowly

I think that person meant the game code was actually using 38K of RAM out of the 64K. I'm assuming the system itself may be using some of the total memory?

Beautiful work. In only 64K of RAM and probably more fun than the phone version! :) Makes me so envious of people that actually have a working C64 to try this on!

Yes, but you can dim down the LCD and the audio is piped to the chromecast. It's a 'hack', but it does work.

Chrome tab performance may be weak due to a slow router. I bought a newer Asus and it helped quite a lot. I can play youtube videos within a Chrome tab and it works perfectly well, even with the router several bedrooms away.

I own a Roku, and find it works great when you're laying down on your bed and want to watch a movie on Amazon/Netflix. However, for entertaining, the easy access to Google Play Music and the ability to cast Chrome tabs was the rea

This is what I do with my Chromcasts: 1. Stream Netflix movies for myself and my child. My son can control Netflix easily with my Nexus 4 smart phone once I get the Chomcast connected. 2. Stream music from Google Play music. I pay $7.99 per

This was a total surprise for me as well. I did not know that you could even lose that right. I guess anything is legal as long as there's a law that says it is.

Yes, the judicial system can destroy your life once it touches you... even if you're innocent.

It's not a safe endeavor for a black journalist to do what this man did. I'm sure he would have been arrested early on, and probably even charged with a worse offense out of spite (such as resisting arrest). That would probably re
