   Press and hold A, don't let go, prints infinite As with one key stroke. That's not writing a program and it's probably not the answer Google wanted but software can't really do a "keystroke" anyway, it just prints characters to the screen/f

   I have a government drivers license so I can drive on government roads. I don't need a government license to get online and check my email, thank you.

   I'm from San Diego, so after completing college, I came back here. It was the default place to go. I'm now getting an itch for some bigger city life, and to take some time away from usual and familiar routine. SF and NY are tempting optio

   I love stories like this. There are times when it seems there is no hope and the world is against you, but if you continue to push forward in the face of that adversity you just might find the help you need from an entirely unexpected sour

    Wait, the entire OS is a browser? It's just Chrome with everything else removed. It's like their taking a page out of Apple's book, forcing you to do things their way, but taking it too far.

    I feel like this is Google's version of Yahoo buying Skype. Overpaying by billions of dollars, marking one of the large failures during Yahoo's decline.

    I haven't added many new facebook friends in the last year but I can no longer keep up with my news feed anymore. It certainly seems the signal to noise ratio is going up and the social filters are becoming overwhelmed.

    I could be wrong, but it seems Group is so popular now that every deal reaches the tipping point. They need to have deals with a network effect so as more people buy the deal it then gains more value for each customer.

    Next time I want to complain about work I'm going to think about this. I wonder if they're happy to have their jobs? I wonder where they envision themselves five years from now? Is there a "corporate ladder" for factory worker jobs too? Are
