I have two immediate thoughts. Forming a company and then taking time off of work to raise a child for 4 month is indicative of non-ideal planning, more than anything. That said, i…

To that end it's also a data problem. Getting 100% accurate unique identifiers like UPC, MPN or ISBN for such items can be a challenge for online retailers. Also the notion of smal…

I'm kind of upset they didn't clarify this in the initial email/blog entry. The way it was worded ("if applicable") implies that resetting the API might not be necessary in some ca…

Unless it has changed recently, I think anyone can receive Snapchats until disabled. At least, that's how it was when I opened an account a few weeks back. That was discovered when…

Ahh, thanks for the heads up, thewordis. It's nice to know that they're aware of the problem.

My overall experience with Google Music has been kinda meh. I like their sharing functionality, but my first purchase was a pain in the butt…. I finally decided to buy a few albums…

I'm not sure I agree that it is idiotic. Certainly the GOP's track record on neutrality is abhorrent, but if the Republicans successfully turn this into a partisan issue where they…

Ooh, I heard about photographers taking to the network, but forgot to check it out. I'll give it a look. Thanks for the heads up!

I'd see'em in Google-themed subreddits like r/android pretty often which makes sense, but in regard to the more popular subreddits, they pop up every now and then in r/programming,…

True that, particularly on the meaningful conversation side of things. Like many, I initially approached G+ as a kind of Facebook. I focused on basically friends, coworkers, acquai…

Do the carriers count these reported metrics against data caps? Overage fees can quickly add up I'm not sure I want my phone using my bandwidth in that manner. Granted, the amount …
