Can you actually give that kind of gmail access to third party apps? Luckily I don't but it's unnerving to think that doing so can have those ramifications.

Publishing a fleshed out version of the story after doing the brief "BREAKING NEWS" one (like the NYT usually does, for example) is very different from backfilling the original brief entry, which is what commenter is accusing Bloo

This . For design-challenged people like me those guidelines are lifesavers. Ironically, I'm not a big fan of Material personally but it helps a lot to have these kind of guidelines handed down to me.

It wasn't a mistake at all. Sun was a lot of things besides Java, it just wasn't worth it for them and they were right to take a pass. Even if they end up paying big dollars to Oracle, the amount won't be high enough to ret
