Would be a great feature to add to Google One? Or a reason to switch search engines, I guess.

Any idea of the power source for this beastie ? It's not very 'wearable' if I have to plug it into a computer (via) USB to power it....

9AM PT is 17:00GMT. So London showing starts 5PM

StreetPong - play a game of pong with the person across the street, while waiting for the Green Man. I think this floated by on HN a few years ago. From Urban-Invention (came out o…

His last question: "How do I prevent my engineers from performing at 1/10x?" Did he mean 1/10x, or (1/10)x, or (as I suspect based on the substance of the discussion) did he mean (…

All very wise observations, folks. I feel better now. And thanks.

I'm a little surprised by the striking similarities between Octocat and the "Octonauts" (www.octonauts.com) - a cartoon in the UK that my two kids are mad about. I'm trusting that …

And John Doerr (Kleiner Perkins) in front of the flowers on the LHS

Is that Eric Schmidt front left ?

Number of starred items might be more useful. Also, seems to be an issue - this number does not increase (from 0 to 1 in the test I did) when you 'mark as unread'. Tried to give fe…
