Right, presuming you got your self-driving car for free. Google has good support (including phone support) for the services that you pay for. And if you want to contact the teams without using the product forum, try using Google+; I've seen

By the Google Drive web app I assume you mean the Google Docs editor? In which case, yeah, you can only edit Google Docs type files in their editor. That's the point of this SDK - if you want to edit other types of files, you can build an a

I remember a while back when Bing was shown pretty conclusively to be taking Google results. So I wonder if this test is really "Google vs. Bing + Google". EDIT: Source - http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=2165469

Yes. I just looked in the admin settings for Google Apps and it gives the option to default it to restricted posts.

Fair enough; again, it's probably not useful at every company, but in the companies that I've worked for in the past (big and small) that have used internal social networks (like Yammer for example), it's definitely been beneficial to me. I

This is a really smart move by Google. This starts to eliminate the need for corporate social networks (like Yammer), and lets businesses take advantage of all the integrations that are happening with the other Google apps. As someone who h

I think it depends on the company, but I disagree with your point in general. There are plenty of companies that would benefit from an easy model for sharing content internally, whether it be links to articles relevant to the company, wide

I believe it happens when you are already signed in, but the session is expired (or is in some way not fully signed in). It then prompts you to finish the sign in so it can give you a good experience once you're there (for example, the abil

It isn't behind a login wall. If you saw a login screen when trying to access the link, then you must be partially logged into Google in the first place. Try the link in an incognito window and you'll see that no login is required.

Unlike Phillip Su's post, this is all just very thinly veiled sarcasm to make Facebook look like a good place to do an internship. While I think Phillip also was being sarcastic, he actually gave good insight into why I wouldn't want to wor

Interesting concept, but it seems to slow at this point. My iPad lagged for several seconds (unable to interactive with the page at all) after the page had seemingly mostly loaded (but before the big background image appeared). Making a lot

It's strange how often I see this complaint about wanting a non-personalized version of Google. On google.com, there is a toggle switch allowing you to turn off personal results on a particular search (it's been there since the launch of SP

For the record, having personalized search results is a setting in the search preferences[1], accessible through the gear icon on the search results page. [1]: https://www.google.com/preferences?hl=en

There's been several articles on this topic, and I don't understand why they all seem to ignore this line in Google's TOS: "Some of our Services allow you to submit content. You retain ownership of any intellectual property rights that you

It's been out for a while - Facebook prompted me near the beginning of March to install it. It works well enough, though sending messages is a bit laggy. My biggest complaint is it's memory usage though - it must have a huge memory leak sin

Seems just to be a simple customizable feature. Do you think that the different whitespace options in Gmail are also an "admission of failure"? To me, they just provide different options to suit different people's visual preferences.

I believe the AppStore restricts running external code, so even though it would be possible, I don't think such an app would be approved.

He didn't say it's an "IE-only standard", he said it was an IE-only feature. It may be standardized, but that doesn't mean that it's implemented in other browsers.

Interesting, but if I wanted to get this sort of validation I'd just use Google's Closure Compiler. It supports validating types and also lets you do things like casting variables to different types. And the annotation method is pretty clea
