Well, it's "new" in the same way that HTML5 is new. It's been around for a few years. The last time period that I played around with it was when iOS 3 was out, and it was horribly buggy (if you failed to download all of

AppCache is notoriously broken[0] (or really hard to work with), which is one of the reasons that the new ServiceWorker API was created[1]. ServiceWorker allows you to run a script in the background that can intercept network requests for s

They really need to increase the maximum file size to be competitive. As a comparison, Dropbox files can be up to 10 GB each[0], and Google Drive files can be up to 1 TB each[1]. [0]: https://www.dropbox.com/help/5&#x2F

Super-cool game! I was doing well until Level 9 when they started swapping the left and right controls. I couldn't wrap my brain around that and lost all three points that round because of that.

In fact, they do more than just talk: they often publish papers describing how they work. The open source community has since recreated a lot of them, which has proven useful to a lot of people (e.g. HBase, Hadoop, Apache Crunch, etc.)

I'm not sure why exactly I would need this (I don't need a cup to tell me what I'm drinking, and I don't find it difficult to keep track of my beverage habits). This is interesting from a technical perspective, though. H

A lot of people are complaining about putting this into CSS, but I think that people are forgetting that using null transform hacks[0] is already the status quo for making animated elements more performant. What this property does is lets u

If you're watching a video and your connection becomes slow, it prompts you to take a look at the report to understand what's making it slow. It's not a direct phone number, but a reasonable number of average people will hope

I don't disagree; I think that slow rollouts of large products make sense from a technical standpoint (you can make sure that nothing breaks down at the large scale, and fix problems before they become a big issue), but I think that in

That's an interesting use case, but the only time you're actually using Google Hangouts is when you're already in a conversation with someone, so I imagine that's not where most people would go when they want to schedule

I want to know this as well. Google Drive also will stream your media, and allows files of any filetype for general storage. Also, easy sharing with anyone anyone on the web (even people who don't have a Google account).
