If google thinks you have an account, they throw a login wall in front of plus, groups, etc. Visiting gmail and then logging out seems to help.

It is hard to believe that he has been a lawyer/judge for decades, yet is also an active programmer, and yet and doesn't know a thing about a language that is easily top 5 most commonly known and heavily litigated (Microsoft).

Judges tend to have ego battles with lawyers and like to show off in their decisions, trying to bluff and snow each other. That seems to be what this is.

Most recent patent officers in the computing area are programmers.

You could not type that function and tests 2 minutes.

Taxes don't fund war. Borrowing funds war.

Salary isn't income either, it's risked labor that should be deductible as a business expense.

Credit for acknowleding their mistake, but man it took a long time for Google to stop mutilating their own feet with the flagship phone crap and lip servicing AOSP, forcing manufacturers to add sizzle to compete.

I know aa certain manufacturer who won't update their Nexus One phone to ICS either..

It's interesting that these fictionalized histories are at the heart of many companies' founders' myths of how they were inspired to create their amazing products.

I feel the sake way about "bochs".

The intuition of game theory is instinctive part of human nature and primates in general. It only gets hard when you do sophisticated calculations. Kids learn how to ride bikes too, but the physics of gyroscopic motion is hard.

How is that backwards induction?

Whoa. Herd mentality includes looking out for each other and helping each other and communicating.

Yes, When I did he stanford course I just skipped from slide to slide and backed up if the slide was unclear.

Wow. "Você deve entrar primeiro.

The fact the MySpace was awful probably had more to do with it.

You aren't wrong, but you could cut 70% of the words from your post without losing the point. Trim the fat.

Look up "compliance" and how it relates to self-applied medical care for nutrition, acne, exercise, birth control, etc. Vasectomy is more effective than pill is more effective than condom, not because of chemistry or biology or physics, but because of psychology.

Farm subsidies are largely for corn products and for non-production of overproduced commodities.

Google is one of the top few investors in solar/wind power generation projects in the US, not just buying watts, and it is for profit/savings, not a donation.

Transmission is a small fraction of the work that goes into your email experience.

One phone call to a reporter, as part of a price negotiation for a hard to value product ("brand awareness"), is hardly a big stink.

"Prove the rule" is a colloquialism that means "test the rule". The exception ends up disproving or clarifying the rule, not verifying it. It doesn't mean prove like passing that test.

Look up "retargeting". Creepily chasing people around the web is successful for advertisers.

Naw it was the ads overlaying the videos that made YouTube the win win experience it is.

That's a contributory infringement lawsuit begging to get filed. Google is clearly profiting by driving users to illegal content.

Mostly brand awareness, which is famously inefficient and only works for products with extremely wide mass appeal, like Coke.

But many small losses and zero big wins...
