I did notice they did not say they were dropping Opera support. I think it's reasonable for them to not spend a large amount of time fixing minor bugs for a browser with 2% market share. Isn't this the point of web standards? Things should

I really wish they would allow the $9 fee to be paid automatically if my app reached quota rather than making me plan for it. The beauty of appengine for me was that I didn't have to think about scaling. I guess I'll now have to pay for tha

I have to say, Facebook ads have been spookily relevant to my interests and I click them almost regularly. When I'm on Facebook, I'm just looking to waste time anyway, so an interesting ad might get a click. Google search ads are usually fo

If the mac version is like Windows, there is a row of icons at the bottom of the call screen. One of them is a chat bubble, which opens a chat with the caller. EDIT: I should read the article - it has this in there.

I have to say that people seem to take fewer risks on albums now and just download the songs they hear on the radio. But as soon as someone does decide they like something, the process is much, much faster. I think that will wear off as peo
