You can hide the chat box. Look for a button at the bottom center of the sidebar (so lower left of the entire screen). That should show you as many labels as possible. Because of the new multi-panel approach, you'll have to scroll down the

I believe that was in reference to what she USED to do, to avoid the slacker stigma. Now she works less hours, proudly.

I think it's safe to say that the LACK of perennial rumors and leaked parts means last year's fall release is now a tradition and not just a one-time-thing.

I think you (and your mom) have done a great job building a site with quality content. From the headline, I was afraid it was going to be a made-for-AdSense type of site, but that doesn't seem to be the case at all. Also, I can't tell you h

Study after study has shown the biggest hurdle is getting someone to go from paying $0 to $1. After that, the actual price seems to matter much less (ie. if someone is willing to pay $1, they're probably willing to pay $10). Since you're no

What part of Tree Style Tabs does it break? I was about to upgrade, but TST is by far my most important extension (and the number one reason I've never seriously considered switching to Chrome).

Found an official answer[1]: Is there continuity with previous Google Drive products? Pichai: What Scott’s talking about, Google Drive as an evolution of Docs, is one thing. Early on, we had a project called Google Drive that was completel

I like both, personally. Ideally, I want to see a few images to get an idea of what the product is. If I'm interested, I'll watch the video to actually see how it works. There are things you notice in a video you'd never grasp just from a f

I think you just nailed something exactly on the head that I've had a hard time describing to people. For me, the fundamental problem with a service like Google Docs is that it is the ONLY way I can edit a document. Whereas on my computer,

If true, that would be a huge omission. I've symlinked my ~/Documents folder into my Dropbox folder and now I rarely manually put anything into ~/Dropbox. I wonder if it's because they know people use Dropbox this way, but they want you to

Simple: Everybody and their mother already has a Google account. It's a lot easier to tell someone to use Google Drive instead of creating an account on Dropbox and installing their software and going through the whole rigamarole. Unlike Sk

Is it just me or is this landing page pretty terribly designed (other than the video)? If I didn't already know what the product is, I would have no idea what I'm looking at. Is it a cyberlocker? Is it a Dropbox clone? Is it a social file e

I hope not. Like Twitter and others before it, I think Dropbox is more likely to succeed and engender trust from users as an independent company. Dropbox has said that unlike iCloud or SkyDrive, they're the only ones offering a truly cross-

Do they actually have 2-factor authentication, though? The French translation seemed to include it, but I don't see any mention of it here. Edit: Yep, it does have it. Interesting that they don't mention it anywhere in the blog post or on t

They're not necessarily mutually exclusive, but it's hard for me to trust an app with my private files if an errant click somewhere might open them up to the public web by mistake. Previously on Dropbox, I knew that if a file wasn't in my P

I looked at their current design first, which seemed to actually be pretty good (at least compared to the original sites of the last few you've redesigned). Then I looked at your redesign. And it was really interesting to see the things you

Being able to link to a folder is a godsend. I hated having to share a folder (editable) when I needed to send someone many files. However, does this now deprecate the Public folder? I thought that was one of Dropbox's best features: knowin

Well, I don't think they ever allowed you to link publicly to an entire folder, so that's pretty new.

Considering it was only a WINE version that was little-used, I think it makes sense. (Same with the Mac version...if you're using Picasaweb to host your photos, you're probably already, or would be better off, using Picasa to organize them

I think it's safe to say RSS cooked into browsers had its chance and was thoroughly rejected. (And I say that as someone who loves RSS.) What more could browser makers have done to encourage RSS? Technophiles love it, but the mass market re

I'm not a fan of these sort of apps but from the pics provided, it seems to be made as tastefully as possible and without excessive "sexual allure" (ie. titillating apps made for 13-year-olds to download without their parents knowing). (I'd

This doesn't seem to have any new details on the service other than that its 5GB and launching on Mac/Windows/iOS/Android, which is all in line with expectations. Given all the recent leaks, it really doesn't seem like Google's doing much m
