I think there is a misunderstanding here. Reader is not going away and it will still be a feed reader. As for encryption, Reader currently doesn't use SSL, G+ on the other hand does so that's an improvement. The changes if I understood corr

I find that post extremely condescending, G+ has more users (active and otherwise) than Foursquare and Instagram combined and then some, yet no one doubts the "success" of these services.

I recall them saying that pseudonyms would be allowed later on, I think this is just "later on".

What grammar recognition? it's a combination of keyword extraction and limited functionality. Using words like "time" or "clock" or "wake" for example would trigger the alarm clock functionality, it's not analyzing grammar because it doesn'

He was referring to the platform not the product. Everyday it seems I find yet another reason to hate the tech "press".

The government doesn't need a search warrant to rummage through cloud data, that's the point.

They usually change policy, or enforce existing ones before an algo update that doesn't prove any connection in you case and it's not like they are dependent on your ad expenditure.

A side point: is it a gmail "nightmare" or a cloud nightmare? the case in question doesn't describe a gmail specific vulnerability yet the alarmist headline hints otherwise. Backing up cloud data might a good hygiene but I call foul on th

How is it a gmail only problem? The government got a court order to force them, Google didn't hand it over willingly. It's the government who is at fault here and the shitty laws that enable it.

Where is the raw data? how large is the sampling? how do they measure traffic?
259.
by yanw 15y ago
The data in question is suspect as no hard data is shown nor are they saying on how many users the report is based on or how they were able to measure traffic at all. Chitikta is a Google competitor of sorts their business is ads and they

In this Google v. Facebook thing people seem to forget that G+ isn't Google's core business but Facebook is Facebook's so the bigger investment in social is going to come from them.

Well it was launched only yesterday ... I agree it's easy to be engaged in a good discussion in G+.

No, that meme is wrong, it's not similar. You bought Windows and Microsoft bundled IE with it, you didn't by Google you use it, Google is Google's. And no one says that search must be just the 10 links and nothing more.

He asked both question, that was a separate one in general meaning. As for Google showing snippets of Yelp or anyone else that is still lawful, the whole search business is built of snippets and fair use.

Eric did well. What bothers me is that no reps of small businesses were in this hearing, it just seems like one big corporation is shilling a fight against another.
