Re: Tell me...

Except for the last one, those where covered by the article. You did read the article before commenting, right?

Re: SIx years, and they foud it is an issue only now?

Yes, it was clearly on display in the bottom of a locked filing cabinet stuck in a disused lavatory with a sign on the door saying 'Beware of the Leopard'." Can't imagine how they missed it.

Re: Sticking it to the Man is one thing

"I suggest you read up on it, greed is one of the seven deadly sins and being sin is thus classed as evil. Your literary ignorance knows no bounds."

So is envy.

Personally, I like hubris. I think that's my favorite deadly sin.

Re: It's probably not what the web needs urgently...

works fine on crome for me.

I am a little out of date though

"And it would have required ZERO DESIGN SKILLS."

Which, coincidentally, is exactly what they have demonstrated here.

"Actually it makes sense. How many people do you know who'd willing act like your typical troll if they didn't have anonymity? The tactic works. Case in point: google Curtis Woodhouse Twitter Troll."

Except that it undermines everything TOR is about. They might as well close up shop and go home.

Re: Hate sf

That's ok, a lot of people don't survive the killing fields of Chicago's summers either.

Re: How silly

"Oh, I don't know. Maybe they could listen to the radio or watch TV or buy a fucking newspaper.

How do you think?"

Why would I do that? It's 2014, almost 2015, I can have a collection of à la carte news at my disposal for free, covering multiple perspectives on an event.

You can wade through a two-hand tall stack of periodicals every day if you like. I'm happy having google do it and collate it for me. If some pissant publisher doesn't want google showing their headlines, that's fine, I'll just not read them.

Re: Might want to tread carefully there, Microsoft

The difference is they actually asked people what they want, and appeared to have listened this time around.if no major changes happen, 10 looks pretty good at this point.

(I have a machine running the preview)

Re: Whoever wrote that sure sounds like...

agreed, these are definitely criminals. for crimes against the English language!

Re: A cynic

If you're not a "Homo type thing" what, praytell are you?

Homo Sapiens want to know!

I'm suspecting you're a fanboy trying to discredit legitimate issues.

My email is now FUBAR. 2/3s of the time I get a never-ending bar and a message telling me it's retrieving my messages, along with a complete inability to see my calendar.

My Battery life has been halved. I'm afraid to spend even a day anywhere that I don't have a charger. I have no idea what I'm going to do when I go to my sister's for Christmas. I'm really hoping it's fixed soon.

This all worked just fine on Kitkat.

Re: Don't do as I do!

I looked up the political leanings of the Ft. Lauderdale commission. There is only 1 Republican on it, and that's the same guy (Roman Catholic) who tipped the balance in favor of a resolution in support of gay marriage.

You might want to reconsider some assumptions.

Pretty sure those are already illegal... along with consensual acts from adults who look too much like children and non-consensual acts (maybe consensual too, I start to get confused at this point) of drawings (can a drawing consent?) which appear to be youngish-looking.

Re: "Unbiased" search results?

"In whose opinion is Google's opinion wrong, and why should we believe them?"

Think about that question a little more. When we ask Google a question (where can I sign up for an email account?) we want Google's opinion. If we didn't want Google's opinion we would ask Bing! So when we ask Google this question, would you expect them to say "gmail sucks"? Of course not, they think gmail is fantastic, and that's a legitimate opinion.

Some agree. some don't, but I would only be shocked if Gmail DIDN'T rank at #1.

Re: What's the big deal?

Why would NZ shoot him down anyway?

Clearly the US would do it.

Re: Ecuadoran Embassy

"I reckon you could get crowd funding to start producing that...."

I'd chip in a couple quid.

Re: Who do you think you are?

You don't have to have been a facebook user to have had your information analyzed though.

I do not, nor have I ever used facebook. someone takes a picture which I am in, they tag my name in the picture. That image is not able to be cross-referenced with anything anyone has said about me in facebook's DBs. That's not even taken into account if they where to choose to sell it, where it can be cross-referenced with someone else's DBs.

You shouldn't have to actually be a FB user to get in on this.

Re: Bullet

"Put a bullet in the little traitor."

You'll hear no complaint here, line the NSA against the wall!

Re: I don't know...

I feel the same way for the opposite reasons.

On the one hand, if you ever seen a BSA audit, turnabout is fair play.

On the other, it's the IRS.

Re: Marketing Vomit

the first one is much easier to type, although I think most just type whatever they're looking for into the bar at the top, let the browser forward it to google and let the chips fall where they may.

Re: Veni, vidi, Origin

That kinda confirms my thought.

"Oh, that looks good, shame I have resolved not to give EA my custom"

Thanks for the comment (have a thumbs up), It helps my resolve.

Re: Chocolate company?

Google kinda supports this nickname... i mean all their OSes are named after candies.

"it stopped being justified anger after three days of constant bleating. Its a game, many people should just get over it, get a refund, get on with life."

I would agree, except they are denying refunds. FD is being scummy with this whole deal.

Re: @Mark 85

Last I looked (just now) they are still stupid-priced. I haven't seen any serious marketing for them (honestly, until I looked I thought it was still invite-only). Combine with the fact that it makes the most anti-fashion statement ever (I mean really, it doesn't take a genius to make the boom cover the entire front so you don't look like a complete doofus), only a handful (okay, maybe it's some pretty large hands) would ever sell.

Without any kind of promise of a userbase, of course developers are going to not waste time on it. I know people think writing code is all about heart, but honestly, most developers still have families to feed.

Re: RE: EinsteinJr

Big bussness can't take your money. You can give it to them, but TAKING it is the purview of the tax-man.

I'm glad I wasn't alone in this thought

iPad2 still works

Really? Mine's been getting vary crashy lately. I'm strongly considering replacing it with a nVidia Shield (or another device which supports gamestream).

Re: Yeah, right

How many places can I actually get google fibre in? It's not "9 metro areas," it's 3. Those 9 may or may not happen for reasons Google may or may not be able to control. I stand by my statement that it's only available in 3.

But let's forget that right now, even IF we give them the nine, it's still COMPLETELY USELESS if you are not in one of those 9 cities.

Chicago: Nope

New York: Nada

Miami: None

Las Vegas: Zip

New Orleans: Ziltch

Those are all major metro areas, Google isn't even talking about any of them, let alone those who aren't in a metro area. Even if we assume that everyone Google is in talks with becomes a completed roll-out RIGHT NOW (and I think everyone can agree that's... unrealistically optimistic), it's still such a breathtakingly small percentage of the US that it's not really worth talking about.

Re: And people..

Justifiably, the actual content from the ToS and what the "privacy basics" page says is completely different.

Re: Don't Make Me Laugh

"Lets just fine the USA and USA companies for breaking OUR laws here."

Hahahahaha! Oh wait, you're serious. Let me laugh even harder. Bwahahahahahahaha!

You can implement whatever fines you want, and the US will just ignore them, just like the EU member nations will ignore fines the US where to issue against them, and don't get me started on the fines PRK would come up with, if they could get away with it.
