This actually sounds pretty convenient.

I have one and sometimes I program personal projects on it in Cloud9. (c9.io) I think it's pretty cool, but my actual work requires me to run eclipse and photoshop. Plus it isn't as powerful as I'd like for full-time use. But I'm excited

I agree! I wasn't seeing this earlier but now I am. Pretty cool.

I like Google and G+, but I think the appropriate place for these updates is in Google Maps. I don't know when I'll be searching for food in G+. Probably not soon. IMO, what really needs to be updated are the Maps pages that look like thi

"Who the hell cares? Take a deep breath of chill the fuck out and don't read so much into things" is the attitude being referred to. It isn't exactly "Hi, you should consider this viewpoint..."

Yes we do, it's in the second paragraph of the article. "The F.C.C. recently closed its 17-month inquiry into the project, Street View, with a finding that Google broke no laws but had obstructed its investigation." Even if we didn't, that'

The public doesn't have the right to know, since no law was broken. The engineer was identified by a "former state investigator [who] spoke on the condition that he not be identified because he was not authorized to speak."

From what I understand, whatever license Java is released under allows for the possibility of another party creating a clean room implementation of the language and releasing it on their own, outside of any control, influence, or fees due t

I think it's important to think about what Google's goals for Android were, and ask whether those were in conflict with getting a Java license. In the trial I read that Sun wanted a lot of "control" over Java on Android with a license. Ca

by ok_craig 14y ago
If Sun didn't want to risk ever feeling this way, they shouldn't have made Java open in the way they did. They purposely made Java so that this kind of thing could happen, and then felt wronged when it actually did.

Browser updates are more than just html/css/javascript functionality updates. For examle, if Google updates the UI of Chrome and they can push it to me now, why not? I don't want to wait, and Google is giving me the option of not waiting.

It seems like everything you're talking about seems very specific to the kind of web work you do. As a professional web developer, I've never had these kinds of problems due to Chrome's or Firefox's rapid release schedules, and I've never

by ok_craig 15y ago
I wouldn't say there's a need for rapid updates; as a user, I just want them. I don't understand why users should be made to wait 6 months to a year for small features that are available now.

Not having a Drive client for Linux (yet) doesn't mean Google as a company does not support Linux at all. For example, Chrome is supported on Linux. We don't know - Drive for Linux may come further down the line. The reality is that a re

When you see a company spending a relatively minuscule amount of money on lobbying compared to R&D, operations, support, HR, etc, what does that mean?

Is this seriously something people think would happen? Wouldn't the internet at large be up in arms at Google for this kind of behavior?

This really doesn't seem like he was saying at all. If you read the article, he actually doesn't have a problem with people throwing things on the ground, and is quite antagonistic towards the posted messages telling people to do otherwise

Is that really a fair comparison? Soda literally is just sugar water. Google provides lots of really good and useful products that people genuinely depend on and they push technology forward.

I don't know a lot about stock, so if you could explain to me how this works I'd be very thankful. Facebook is worth something like $100 billion, but their IPO is only for $5 billion. Doesn't that mean 95% of the company is still owned by

@blakeross As a branch of the main Macy's result, yeah. It isn't a natural result itself. If your goal is to browse simply natural results you just look at the primary results. Those do not appear to be different.

by ok_craig 15y ago
Hm, that's not really what I mean. That's just providing additional information in the result. That additional info favors Google+, sure, but it's still not a rearrangement of the primary natural search results.

"They have made a conscious decision to compromise search quality to push users to Google+" It's my understanding that search results are unchanged - is this wrong? I thought the social box on the side was just something that came up in ad

Sounded like it was a raise on top of whatever else they got. I'd take that kind of raise for fewer perks. They could have just as easily not given it.

by ok_craig 15y ago
What about that 10% raise the whole company got?

by ok_craig 15y ago
I can get behind your first suggestion. Social influence can be huge, and it doesn't require a legal club to beat a company down with. Do you think it's necessarily a bad thing when smaller companies get bought by Google? What you don't m
