German and French titles: yes definitely. Portuguese (like my aforementioned Cidade de Deus)? No, safe some exceptions nobody knows beforehand what it means. Guess we're just used to finding it out afterwards, eg an article about the film c

Off the off topic: why is the English world so intent on translating everything? (Much like the French world I guess) In the Dutch speaking part of Belgium we try to refer to most movies in their original language (Das Leben Der Anderen, Ci

On the other hand, that was 769 days ago. Edit: Just realized you might be pointing this out to help the interested reader, I first assumed you were reprimanding for reposting.

I thought that too, at first, but it seemed to blatantly illegal to believe. Going by their site, it's mostly for government agencies against other agencies?[1] I'm not proficient enough at law to comment on the legalities of it. Another po

Also odd: You can keep giving "kudos", refresh the page and repeat, the counter doesn't mind. Can't seem to take your vote(s) away though.

Not to mention the ages it took before you could simply make an account without an invite and what not. I never understood the hype.

Was this really that "long-awaited"? I for one quite like a clean New Tab and if I did want something like the envisioned, then I don't think 3 by 3 would quite cut it. Not to mention that if people were really that anxious for it, I would

I have neither, hurrah! As for the site, why is the JavaScript and CSS inline? Makes for pretty lousy caching...

Isn't the focus completely different, I thought MySpace became a hangout for small bands and the likes? (Though I assume MySpace still wants to be more than that)

Not accusing you of doing so, it just struck me as relevant. I didn't notice before it was just an exact copy of their title. I would argue that in this case a title edit could've been better.

As a little addendum to that: the way that the articles of sites of some news agencies have this uncanny tendency to turn every single sentence in a paragraph of its own is something that's been bugging me. I know everyone feels like gettin

I don't know why you didn't mention it in the title, but I would think it's pretty relevant that it wasn't just an iPad. It was " An iPad with a G-Form Extreme Edge case ". Doubt the survival is something the iPad should be credited for.

I get the same result on google and in duckduckgo it doesn't appear. I think it's also worth pointing out that "/dev/urandom" doesn't show bolded (as in "we found the string in this particular search result") until the 25th or so result. I

In hopes you'll still see this, is there some sort of obvious Google+/Google Calendar integration in the works? Or just somewhere an official roadmap available for the Google+ development?

Not to sound harsh (well maybe), but that blog post doesn't really seem to add anything to the article it links to. Why not just link straight to said article?
