Nice idea, but needs more content. There is not a single non-US company in that list (which should be a filter, because NSA).

Yes, but in the IM context it is creating confusion, and Google's IM team must surely be aware of this, so it stands to reason that this is intentional confusion.

It amuses me slightly that I get prompted to log in with my Google account when clicking the +1 button below this article.

That, and a few other things. For example, you wouldn't launch an executable named GOOGLE.COM, you'd launch your terminal emulator[1] and then select the Google BBS from a phonebook (or enter the number manually, perhaps even with

background-clip? Sometimes I think CSS has gone a bit too far. Sure, at first it was wholly insufficient, but now it seems to have gone overboard the other way, sprouting too many obscure features, with greatly varying support between imple

Thanks, useful. I'm sure it'll break copy/paste in Google Docs, but that's a small price to way.

A pox upon you. I have Greasemonkey scripts for this kind of annoyance, as well as the autocomplete=off bullshit that prevents my perfectly safe password manager from improving security by not having to go through the clipboard. Despite my

Whilst abandoning the browser plugin stuff makes every sense (it never worked well, on any platform), dropping Linux/OS X at a time where those platforms are on the rise (especially with Valve's move to Linux and Windows 8 being u

I just gave up and use SourceTree. I don't like git's syntax at all, but have to work with it, so a nice GUI works best for me. Maybe I'm getting old, or maybe I just prefer a better designed command line interface (for my pe

I find the web works much better with fewer logins[1]. In my opinion, the old way of using the web, by URL alone, worked best. Want to share something? Copy the URL to your blog, paste it to IRC/IM or wherever. Those that actually care

Who still uses Skype after it was confirmed [1] that Microsoft sells our personal text, voice and video conversations to dubious agencies? Edit: Personally, I've switched to OTR (Adium/Pidgin) for text and ZRTP (Jitsi) for voice&

Mine as well. It will change you for live, and from my experience meeting other expats, I think for the better. You get a whole new perspective on both origin and destination countries. Even if you go back after a few years, you'll be

This is the default email that a freshly installed FreeBSD sends you every night. It also contains a bunch of other bits. That's a bit different than subscribing to firewall spam.

I hacked a Greasemonkey script a while ago because I wanted some easy way to pick out vote/comments. I've been using it for many months now and it's not annoyed me once, which is a good sign. It also leaves the rest of HN alo

I changed it because it makes FreeBSD's nightly security run output not contain thousands of lines like this: Jul 28 23:53:57 hostname sshd[1068]: Failed keyboard-interactive/pam for root from 78.129.252.154 port 55040 ssh2

Mainly we don't need new ones because the 3 year old one is still doing the job. That wasn't the case a decade ago - your 3 year old PC was seriously out of date and couldn't run most games released that year and probably not

I find iOS 7 so awful that I'm still refusing to install it. Please don't take it as an example for UI anything.

Which prompts the question - should you bother signing up for Google Wallet (if applicable, i.e. digital goods only). Since that may just end up suffering the same fate.

Same for London's DLR (Docklands Light Railway). I remember whe the drivers went on strike, the trains simply ran without the babysitters. Nobody died or lost any limbs that day.

Same reason for anyone in that situation: The sooner they learn/do something else, the sooner they can acquire a new useful skillset, instead of dragging on their now useless one. It's not like this is an intermediate problem and

They should be. Artificially keeping jobs alive that are better, safer and cheaper performed by machines is bad for everyone in the long run, even the train drivers.

Even more so across eastern Europe. But then, if you only offer CC payments, there's no point in having a trial for users that can never become paying customers, is there?

I've used roman emperors (caligula, augustus, nero, otho, etc.). Also notable is that of my ISP - they use words ending in “less”, for example: “priceless” is the accounting system, “thankless” the support ticket system and “clueless”
