I'm sure a badge redesign is in the works. I'd be surprised if there isn't a new badge (at least with updated logo) by this time next year. Depending on how much it ends up changing, old employees might not be forced to get a

Gonna make some guesses: 1. I have in the past counted as a unique monthly user by Googling something (restaraunt, hotel, ??) and then looking at the "Google Reviews" which would take you to a plus.google.com page. It seems Google

This actually reminded me of the old "It is now safe to turn off your computer" orange text that would come up on older versions of Windows. Eventually computers began being able to turn themselves off. Does anyone know what preve

I don't think by "non-programmers" he meant "people who don't actively program". I think he meant "people that don't even know how to program". In this article bill gates says in the first line t

Yep my bad, yet hopefully you get my point. I should have said documentary instead :) I watch a bunch of TV shows with the CIA or FBI in them. I don't for a second think that they depict anything realistically.

No need for "allegedly". It is now a feature that Snapchats can be replayed. Users are able to pick one Snap per day that they want to replay.

I agree with all your points re: taking the friction out of the equation. However, I think it's more to do with the fact that you share with individuals rather than to a feed that makes the difference. Not so much the fact that it will

It really depends where you want to work. Gonna make some wild guesses here! 1. SV startup: Python, Ruby are best bets. Java will make people squirm. C# will make people tilt their heads. You'll probably get bonus points for Go 2. Goog

Either hackers took it down and Dropbox is lying on their status page, or Dropbox did routine maintenance and Anonymous is taking false credit. Unfortunately, I find option #1 to be more likely.
