That might make sense if they are a one to one equivalent. I think it is unlikely to be the case however. Losing a few million users of a niche product doesn't matter to Google if it wasn't a large revenue stream. Rolling out features that

I don't think it's odd. I think the speculation that some reader features are being rolled into plus is accurate and google wants their internal people dog fooding those implementations.

If it can I could never find it. I tried the service out twice and both times found it to try and show me a lot of stuff I didn't want to see and never improved on that front.

I signed something there and got a ton of emails about unrelated crap I didn't ask for or care about. That was not recently so things may have changed but I will never use the site again.

Nope, AC21 allows you to transfer even if you have applied for permanent residence. There are restrictions based on where you are in the process and that the new job meets certain criteria.

I wouldn't be shocked if that's actually a problem with Chrome 27 on Mac osx. I rolled back to version 26 yesterday due to large numbers of problems. Not to mention the changes to extensions needing to update their manifest files resulting

Part of the price is paying for the google drive allotment. That's great but I would rather have the local storage which I can get access to anywhere vs the cloud storage that I might not be able to reach.

Having expansion via an SD card is nice but it's really just too small for what they are charging. I get that it comes with a big chunk of google drive space for three years but it's just not convenient/realistic for me or anyone I know to

I got a chance to use one this weekend and if it didn't have a cripplingly small SSD I'd swap out my 17" MBP for one.

So should these researchers sit on their hands until such time as hardware capable of utilizing those transfer rates exist? The mathematical modeling here is at the very least useful in determining this is a path worth exploring with protot

I don't like the flat menu/buttons. I don't find anything about these flat menus or buttons to be particularly intuitive. There's no visual cues to let me know that there's sub menus there's no visual cues to let me know the buttons are cli

Whoops, you are correct. The updates to the MacBook Pro are still trivial and no site is considering it to be an major upgrade/update. The Mac Rumors tracking site separates the MacBook Pro and the MacBook Pro Retina for this reason.

Some of us are luckier. I'm in my mid 30's and while I've added a little belly fat and an inch to my waist nothing else has really changed. If I can stick to an exercise routine (I'm really bad at this) it all disappears very quickly.

Annoyances are not always ads. Looking at twitter it's also removing annoying "features" like trending, who to follow, and the extra navigation box from the left column.

Apple is paying a dividend. I wouldn't worry too much about how much money they are sitting on. Having very large cash reserves allows them to buy companies that have technology they want to integrate into their products and keep it away fr

I think the author called it Google Bootstrap because it has google style elements. I suspect the name of this project will have to be changed to not include the Google trademark.

Unless like the parent said, you go out of business. In that case the honey is worth $0 because it's virtual currency. It's also not highly unlikely as most new businesses fail.

I'm not confused about how your product works, virtual currency systems are great for the vendor but the lock into the marketplace carries risks and downsides for the consumers using the marketplace. > New products come out all the time
