Anyone who thinks that Amazon won't have to implement similar anti-copyright protection is delusional.

This is because Google has started optimizing for the 99% use case, which most HN'ers usually don't fall under. They originally optimized for what most Googlers like (who are generally the 1%) and have since learned that you can&

It's amazing that on a place like HN it seems like most people just don't get this. The vast majority of communication happens on products that: 1. Don't even have a desktop component 2. Have no "status" indicatio

We need a country breakdown considering this launch included China (unlike previous launches). That said, I'm assuming 30-40% in China and the rest elsewhere still puts it as a great launch.

Which is a UX problem, not a "Google attempting to drive me into yet another unwanted "social" network". You don't think it's in Google's best interest that channels create Google+ Pages rather than indiv

Get over it people, Google+ is the new account system for all Google products. If you don't like Google having a single account/profile system, or the fact that Google+ profiles include a "social" network product, the

are you actually hitting the "No" button, and providing a reason, or are you just closing the dialog?

Nothing, absolutely nothing, will change until developers stop chasing a big payday, and follow their principles instead. Unfortunately, principles don't feed your family or put a roof over their head. It's always easy to spout h

Great news for both Google Maps and Waze. From my understanding, Waze negotiated a 3 year period where they would be allowed to continue independently, but I imagine there will be quite a bit of data sharing between the two (Waze can now u

No reason, but PRISM as explained in #1 doesn't seem like that big of a deal, or at least, not that much more shocking then what we already knew.

Bravo Edward, and yet very little is said about PRISM at all. When will we finally get to the bottom of what PRISM actually is? When will the public get access to the entire set of slides? How much exactly did Edward know about PRISM, or

And if they didn't say that, everyone on HN would be whining about why they didn't deny "direct access" when that was the headline accusation. Can't win with you guys.

Do you have a better solution for unifying identity across Google accounts? If your opinion is that separate products should have separate accounts and credentials then we will just have to agree to disagree. I can understand why that wou

It astonishes me that people don't have an issue with this: > I need a Google account to interact with most of Google's services these days. but seem to have major issues with this: > I need a Google+ account to interact with most

Voice search is a natural extension (and time will tell if its an ideal one), but I think the thing that is most interesting with all of this is the steps these companies are making in natural language processing.

Seriously, name me one successful company that doesn't have a host of failures and cancelled products attached to their name. I much prefer Google launch a ton of products and only focuses on the one's that "stick" because I know they will

Google's complaint isn't that "nobody" is using WP, so stop bringing out that strawman to make yourself sound smart. Google's argument is simply that Microsoft, a company that should know better, is intentionally breaking the Youtube ToS.

@CloudNine WP users can access YouTube videos, the only difference is whether its through an official app or their web browser. So yes, it does matter a lot to them that these eyes are no longer seeing ads that they previously would have.

Save your breath, CloudNine is one of those Microsoft zealots as well.

Same reason the vast majority of devs do not make a WP app, or release a crappy version 2 years later.

Pricing is $9.99/month or $7.99/month if you sign up soon (I think he said in the first 30 days).
