Not the same feature. Those Google Code pages have better PageRank than the corresponding Github ones (older pages more links?). I don't think Google Code is given any preferential treatment in the results--if so, the UI would be presented differently.

I think it's more that people have a passion for well-made stuff, hand-in-hand with an ability to balance personal interest with societal concerns.

You can turn Touch ID off, no problem.

The Touch ID is really neat, and he misses on of the key interactions. At the unlock screen, you can just touch the home button (without pressing) and it will automatically unlock. No more slide to unlock.

This is great.

I suspect I'll start removing my phone from my pocket with my thumb on the home button. As I grasp the phone, I'll hit the home button but immediately release it. Touch ID will read my thumbprint and unlock the phone just as it's coming up in front of my face.

That's a half-second and a gesture I'll save, every time I reach for my phone.

Is there a mirror? This article isn't loading :(

If you don't want to be tracked and you don't want to use Google+, stop using Google products.

Google does not sell data to anybody. They sell advertising slots.

Is this site not completely static?

Aardvark 2.0 ?

Does the NSA search more than Google?

The down arrow is for inappropriate or off-topic posts, not for opinions you disagree with...

Can you cite a source for "no issue with that" ?

Why don't you just opt-out of the new Maps beta?

Can anybody reconcile these two statements?

I think Obama believed most of what he campaigned for. But I believe the Office of the President changes people, and I'm sure there is a lot going on that we don't see. Something changed his mind. Not that I agree with his change in stance, but I suspect that's what happened.

You need Apple drivers, and Apple only makes drivers for video cards they support. So it would not be quite that straightforward.

I know much smaller sales-based companies (aka SEO) who hire someone to do exactly what you describe.

I also really love the multiple inboxes. My inbox is significantly easier to parse.

Once in a while I drag a message elsewhere to train it, but no more than once a month...

I suspect Gmail is filtering based on content, not based on email service.

Most of Apple's other online services (particularly all of their dev tools) instead just require Safari.

Cell phone hardware is the "make [information] universally accessible" part.

Sorry, not buying it. The problem here for Germany is the Chinese manufacturing prowess, not their own government.

It's >1 second.

I can start recording with my iPhone (assuming it was previously in video mode) faster than I can start recording with my Glass.

Ubernostrum is referring to "scholarships available based on grades" as a bad idea, not the OP's link.

Funny to see an anti-Medium post on a Svbtle blog...

How many of these "mirror bees" would you need? How much momentum does light have?

  The Model S does not need to be brought to our  
  service center by the owner. Tesla will pick up  
  the car at a location of the owner’s convenience,  
  provide a Model S loaner if needed, perform the  
  work and bring the car back to the owner a few  
  hours later.

Does anybody else offer service like this?

After using iOS 7 for a few days I can say that the icons are the least of our worries.

Using ONLY color to differentiate clickable things is a travesty for colorblind people. I'm colorblind and iOS 7 is proving really frustrating.

The weather app, for example, is almost impossible for me to read.

> Assange's argument - and I agree with him - is that we are all getting screwed by Google. The fact that that royal screwing is the consequence of a symbolic choice made under false pretenses is not really a forceful counterargument.

I, for one, have never been screwed by Google. I get a great deal of value from Google, and in return I see a few ads once in a while. I see nothing wrong with that.

> evil after evil is discovered being perpetrated by Google

What are these evils being perpetrated? I see a lot of handwaving and "what-ifs" in here, but nowhere do I see concrete examples of Google fucking people over.

The fact is that anybody with power can abuse that power. What if all of the police officers in the USA decided to shoot all the citizens? Should we dismantle the police departments because they could abuse their power?

In this case it sounds like the Grandma is playing Flash games online... Maybe a Chromebook would be a better option?
