Just as a FYI, you can share to people outside of your circles, if they have it enabled. Instead of selecting a circle to share, just put their names in. Of course, this depends on the settings of the other person and doesn't disprove anything. Just wanted to tell you in case it's of any use for you.

I haven't seen the UI, but I don't think that it would be wise if you could "accidentally" share something. There must be at least two or three buttons before you share something.

It looks nice, but I would like to know where does Bing gets the data from Twitter and Facebook. Either Google is lying when they launched SPYW and the data can be obtained publicly and easily, or Bing made deals with these two companies that Google didn't for some reason.

Yeah, but until we can see how that research was done, we do not know if those results are relevant.

Same here...

But we do not know if they answered 4. Well, we do know that it's not the one where the impasse occurred, but that doesn't mean they answered it.

Google is claiming that they didn't copyright each of the 37 API separately, and as such that they don't claim ownership of them, thusly, Google can copy them.

FTA: "The determination of this issue in favor of Google will either (a) result in the dismissal of the copyright claims or (b) provide the support for Google's de minimis and fair use copying defenses."

While Dropbox does support Linux, I could only get the client to work on the Ubuntu distro. Not saying that Google Drive is better (they don't even have a client), but that Dropbox Linux support is not so good.

I'm not sure if this helps https://developers.google.com/drive/ but as taken from another comment, it seems there is an API (or SDK or whatever).

I tried to use that option, but every time it tells me that the card was rejected. Even though I can use the card fine if I enter the details directly... it's just weird.

This would make sense if your account doesn't have any more money. But it may happen to you some day that you have more money in your account than your limit and then you will be stuck as you cannot transfer it to another account.

PayPal does let you use the same joint bank account in two accounts. The only problems is that you need to be married and share the same last name. This may make sense in the US, but in a lot of other parts of the world, you don't take your husband last name when you marry.

I'm tired of PayPal too, but just wanted to let you know that there may be a solution to your problem.

I think it's against the terms to have a joint PayPal account. I'm sure I read that somewhere and it is the standard for most web services (accounts can only be used by one person).

When did that happened? I can access public posts without being logged in with no problem.

Facebook, on the other hand, tells me that I can't continue if I don't log in (although I can just cancel the message, and continue reading).

>> That they engage in questionable practices is probably without dispute. For specific instances, well, Google something like "google suspended my account" which returns some 12 million results. If you have the time, read through the first hundred or so and see if you agree with the general sentiment.

I think that's far fetched. Of course you can argue that Google engages in questionable practices, but account suspension are nothing of that sort. First of all, most of the stories you will find are from the perspective of the user, which isn't entirely fair. And secondly, although I'm not saying they can do what they want with your account, if you violated their terms in any way, they have that possibility. That's not an unfair or otherwise questionable practice.

It may be the best 404 but the 503 isn't so nice :). I'll check back later.

I think Google has a major opportunity here by integrating this to Google+ and Circles. File sharing would become really easy.

Although I think I agree that it was a smart move from Facebook to say that, I'm not sure if it isn't really a growing problem. We need more data to determine that.

This. The same thing happened with the Boston Jam thing, and many other cases.

I think the article is wrong in saying that the problem is caused by bullies and aggressive people. (At least I understood that.) The problem is more general than that and is hard grained on a lot of people and not only the ones who feel superior to women or want to hurt others.

Do you have sources to back that up? (That it appeals to 85% of the target demographics).

Either way, you are treating women as objects, as perks, as things that men want to look at. And you are treating men as cavemen who want to see women all the time. These ideas have affected (and are affecting) society in a bad way. By using women in that sense, they are promoting the idea that women can be used in that way if you like.

Exactly. Not only did it implicitly say that women can be seen as a perk, but that there are only heterosexual men who want to attend to this event, and that they all want to have a drink served by a woman. It just wrong in so many levels.

It's great, but I was thinking it was some weird way of using Native Client to create a real Virtual Machine in your browser, not just an interface. That would be really really cool.

SEEKING WORK - REMOTE, UK in the near future.

Looking for a full-time or part-time remote job. May accept small projects.

Computer Science degree and work experience on PHP, MySQL, HTML/CSS/JS/jQuery, MongoDB, Perl, and others. Some knowledge on Python, Ruby, Haskell and GNU/Linux sysadmin, that I want to expand with experience.

I think he misses the Start Menu. But he has a point. Windows 8 right now seems to be a mess between tablet and desktop-like and the most usable part of it is the Desktop part. (At least for me.)

Not sure if trolling or a joke.

Wow, really? Can you provide a source for that claims? Maybe it's in the article but I didn't see it.

What I meant is that it's a product that's here to stay. Maybe I went too far with the word big , but it's a success in that it has gained enough momentum to be really useful to a large amount of people.

May I recommend https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0Ao1OX3UN25EvdHR... or http://www.recommendedusers.com/?

There are many kinds of different people on Google+. Some came from twitter, but many of them are just new to the social scene are starting to get popular.

First of all, you are comparing apple to oranges. Google+ is not a direct competition to Facebook and there are many ways all three (including Twitter) can coexist.

Lastly, the Facebook user experience is really horrible. That's one of the top reasons I don't use it. Menus are not ordered, options are hidden, many parts are not explained nor documented, top search works different depending which page you are one, etc. And even though my grandma uses it, most of the times, she's posting on other people's walls things she wanted to share with other people, or not posting on walls when she is trying to communicate with my brother. The experience is just too complicated.
