For a brief second after reading the title, I thought I might be getting a Google Drive client on Linux... jokes on me!

Starting out with when the problem was discovered, and then followed through with regular updates until it's resolution.
A simple "Our team is continuing to investigate this issue. We will provide an update by 6/4/14 12:39 PM with more information about this problem. Thank you for your patience." goes a long way, and makes me feel better about using their services as a result.
Evernote, Springpad, Simplenote, and even Google Keep for iOS (when it is finally release) have syncing from the get go.
I'm holding off to see what the 'Digg Reader' has to offer before making a final decision.
Looks like it's going to be Feedly though. I was pretty much sold when I heard that Reeder (iOS) and GReader (Android) will both sync with it.
Here are some of Gruber's tweets during the keynote:
"Why is AAPL down ~5 percent on this?"
"Where’s Andy Rubin? Too busy?"
"“Requires all students to have a Google Account”."
"Why aren’t all these presenters wearing Glass?"
Biased, sarcastic, and condescending... why do people visit this guys website again?
Since then they have had more security problems/breaches, and admitted to user info being stolen.
Today's news isn't anything concrete... but their moderators were jerks, which makes the company look bad whether they are employees or not.
I stopped reading after that sentence.
My head hurts when I think that 82,999,999 more of these accounts exist.
I've seen them switch from: 'Things' to 'Evernote' to 'Omnifocus' to 'Trello' in the span of two or three months.
I'm all for being a more productive and organized person, but with all the time they spent migrating their tasks/projects to different task management systems, they could have just completed everything on their lists and more.
Starting from 'investigating reports Google Talk down' and following right through till service is restored with hourly updates is something that Amazon (and others) could learn from.

The real shame is that a week from now Marco (a well known Android basher) is going have a blog post up with poor download stats. Deflect the blame, and proceed to explain how he was right all along... that it was not worth the money to have the app created, that Android users don't want to pay for quality apps, it's fragmented, blah blah blah.
DuckDuckGo: The top three results were American Ebay search results (I live in Canada), a drum shop in Memphis (15 hour drive), and various other online stores like discountdrumequipment.info... looks legit.
Google: The first page of results had links to the official Sabian product pages, Youtube videos of people playing it, and the most impressive thing was a 3 day old Kijiji ad (still popular in Canada) with the exact cymbal I wanted for a good price in a city just 45 minutes from me. I responded to the ad, drove the 45 minutes, and purchased it.
DuckDuckGo's stance on user privacy is admirable, but Google is going to be my primary search engine for a very long time with results like that... it's accuracy still impresses me.
