I have two immediate thoughts. Forming a company and then taking time off of work to raise a child for 4 month is indicative of non-ideal planning, more than anything. That said, in this case the gentleman in question…
To that end it's also a data problem. Getting 100% accurate unique identifiers like UPC, MPN or ISBN for such items can be a challenge for online retailers. Also the notion of smaller retailers who fall under this…
I'm kind of upset they didn't clarify this in the initial email/blog entry. The way it was worded ("if applicable") implies that resetting the API might not be necessary in some cases. I think it is reasonable to assume…
Unless it has changed recently, I think anyone can receive Snapchats until disabled. At least, that's how it was when I opened an account a few weeks back. That was discovered when I received an unsolicited snapchat…
Ahh, thanks for the heads up, thewordis. It's nice to know that they're aware of the problem.
My overall experience with Google Music has been kinda meh. I like their sharing functionality, but my first purchase was a pain in the butt…. I finally decided to buy a few albums during the big music sale G Music…
Oh man, the OS X integration utility is remarkably obnoxious. I wasn't pleased that it was getting a bit more into the guts of my system than expected without letting me know (although the system authentication request…
In heading to the restroom I know that I'll have the opportunity to wash my hands after, so the handle leading in is of little concern to me. In my admittedly anecdotal experience, the rate of full grown adults who…
While I certainly can't fault an organization for attempting to maximize revenue, I think there comes a point when they seem to be focusing solely on short term numbers to the extent that it may actually harm them in…
I can see how the 'dude, not cool' comment likely made it seem like I found it less reprehensible than I really did. For what it's worth, I agree with your comment.
Sure, people argue on the semantics of IP infringement and while many feel that intellectual property laws are woefully one sided, most of what I've seen suggests that at least a fair number of people feel that copying…
I'm not sure I agree that it is idiotic. Certainly the GOP's track record on neutrality is abhorrent, but if the Republicans successfully turn this into a partisan issue where they are against and the dems are for,…
Ooh, I heard about photographers taking to the network, but forgot to check it out. I'll give it a look. Thanks for the heads up!
I'd see'em in Google-themed subreddits like r/android pretty often which makes sense, but in regard to the more popular subreddits, they pop up every now and then in r/programming, r/atheism, etc. kn0thing submitted a…
True that, particularly on the meaningful conversation side of things. Like many, I initially approached G+ as a kind of Facebook. I focused on basically friends, coworkers, acquaintances - personal relationships…
Do the carriers count these reported metrics against data caps? Overage fees can quickly add up I'm not sure I want my phone using my bandwidth in that manner. Granted, the amount is relatively small compared to…
