Glad to see this coming to iOS, the more users, the more feedback Google will get on how to improve the service for everyone . Hope Apple can try their hand at creating some cross platform applications as well.

it's definitely not small or easy to miss. The whole "instant upload" part is an entire screen outlining what it is with a clear opt-out.

What color do you suggest without making the text of the ad illegible? Perhaps a bright red border around the ads?

Pretty much everything you listed has been a problem with those products from the beginning . My point is, Google hasn't ruined everything like the OP wants to claim, and there's no massive backlash, even for Google+ . It's really a s

I must have missed all of this outrage over Android, Chrome, GMail, Docs + Drive, Adwords, Analytics, etc, etc. To be honest, I'm really glad Google finally pulled the plug on Reader instead of letting it rot to death. It's opened up the m

Is this the tech version of Poe's Law? Or is it the new version of tin-foil-hatism? You guys have a very, very strange definition of "evil". Google may not be perfect, and sure they deserve some harsh criticism and mocking from time to ti

And Mozilla thanks Google for it's continued existence. Funny how it all works out in the end.

1 million active users is not "popular" in Google terms. So-called tech "influencers" like to believe that they are more useful/valuable than any random user, but guess what, you aren't.

Nothing is stopping you from backing them up yourself manually. At least you got a 3 month warning ... I certainly didn't when Yahoo decided to just close my @rocketmail email account.

Is this a joke? A product with less than 1-2 million active users can't honestly be considered a "core Google offering".

Reader lasted longer than almost all of the (major) RSS readers combined. What makes you think EverNote is going to be around forever? Honestly, I don't understand the stance of using an inferior product (this assumes you believe Keep will

Looks awfully similar to the G+ feed. Not that there's anything wrong with that, just that its confirmation that G+ was probably heading in the right direction. The bigger (no pun intended) news here is the much bigger ads that are now in

If it asks you more than once after selecting a reason for picking no, then its a bug. I hear your complaint a lot, but I've never seen it happen in person to anyone I know personally.

This. Google is the perfect example of a company that runs primarily on Google products (GMail, Docs, etc) and even devs don't use their laptops for more than just ssh, remote desktop, and their browser (at least, in theory, they shouldn't

They count it as revenue before paying the merchant. Their true revenue is probably much lower than $500mm.

In my own car during day to day driving? Of course not. If I was reviewing a car and was told that it was OK? Of course! Don't curious minds want to know if the missing miles will actually return on their own? It's not like his life wa

Because focusing on that would be admitting that: 1. The Tesla lost ~65 miles worth of range overnight 2. That their staff told Mr. Broder that the lost miles would return on their own.

Did you (or 99% of HN) read the NYT article? "When I parked the car, its computer said I had 90 miles of range, twice the 46 miles back to Milford. It was a different story at 8:30 the next morning. The thermometer read 10 degrees and the d

by lawdawg 14y ago
Actually it did when the car reported 90 the night before and a call to Tesla assured him that a quick charge would "re-calibrate" the system because of a software bug.

I love both companies, but you realize Mozilla makes most of their money because of a search deal with Google, right?

Wow, you need to relax. I asked you where you got your numbers from and linked to the only numbers I knew about (and they can't be from "any time in the last 2 years" as they include the Lumia 920 and 820 .....). If you have numbers showi

I didn't realize that 4 years of profitability meant not working out well.

> The vast majority of those Lumias will be the high-end 920 and the slightly-less-high-end 820. Where did you get the breakdown by device? This is the best I've seen and doesn't seem to reflect your sentiment at all: http://www.neowi

Last I read, Nokia accounts for 75% of all WP device sales, which means we can estimate around 6 million WP devices were shipped (not sold) during Q4 2012. Unlike Apple (which also calls shipments "sales" in their quarterly report), Nokia

At least HTC is profitable, along with a host of other OEMs that target China, India, and Europe. The reason that other OEMs like LG and Motorola are not profitable (but they aren't losing anywhere as much as Nokia is) is less to do with p

Google Apps for Business has 24/7 phone support. Maybe you would know that if you actually used Google Apps for Business or read the blog post.
