Maybe it's a bug in Nightly? The app worked perfectly on my Aurora build (21.0a2)

I'd not take any details from there to be true just yet, since I just saw someone else on Twitter say it was due to a brain aneurysm. Depressing news -- RIP Malcolm.

There's one we attempted to use in school for p2p messaging over the network. [1] I also came across a chat system for the Plone CMS. [2] [1] http://sourceforge.net/projects/babble-chat/ [2] http://babblechat.org/en/latest/

A little OT: but the article in question had reached the front page. It was then "deleted" by mods. A mod removal on Reddit just removes a post from any visibility, and doesn't actually delete it. So people with the link can still see the t

Thousands of people attempting to write to it at the same time? Maybe Drive wasn't prepared for such an eventuality. In any case, I'm just speculating based on the mighty odd timing.

I believe this is because of Reddit. Some chap (maybe an HTC employee?) posted on the /r/Android subreddit that he was giving away a couple of HTC smartphones[1], and all one had to do to enter the giveaway way fill out their Reddit usernam

It started off as "shortcuts to services you use" and morphed gradually into "shortcuts to services we want you to use".

Oh dear, that's worrisome. My Account page shows me March 18th as the shipping date, but you're clearly an earlier backer than I was.

And a lot of FeedBurner feeds show AdSense ads in the body of the feed. (I've seen them on Scott Adams' blog and FreethoughtBlogs.)

I think FeedBurner will go before Blogger. They've already been neutering it for a while now, the site is still on design that pre-dates the G+ visual overhaul, and Google is clearly actively looking to snub RSS now.

..and you know what? I like text. I 'circled' a bunch of people from the numerous Hacker News communities on G+, and I see far too many pictures and videos in the feed. And mostly personal life stuff, like their pets, or lunch, or some tree

All this reminds me of when I used to fly internationally as an "Unaccompanied Minor" in the early 90s. This clusterfuck would NEVER have happened back then (at least never happened to me..) -- kids travelling alone were treated like royalt

This is nitpicking. He clearly meant to say: > If you bought it, you should own it. If the "real" meaning if the transaction is "rent till we decide you can't anymore", then it shouldn't be misrepresented as a purchase.

You don't even need that level of work experience. Any reasonably frequently updated personal blog that covers a wide-ish range of topics will have some truly bizarre search traffic referrals. (or maybe it was just mine? Perish the thought.

Same here. Displays and able to select it quite alright. (Ubuntu 12.10, Firefox 21) Although searching for the same text results in Google telling me this: 414. That's an error. The requested URL /... is too large to process. That’s
