Very nice. Given the smoothness, I first thought this was real-time:) As someone who lives in Berlin, I didn't know there was an open API for the VBB. I'll have to have a look at i…

I rarely ever pay for services on the web. But I will pay for theoldreader. My mind is getting foggy with age, but I think it does everything that Google Reader did, and not much m…

For the past 12 months, Google has been courting me into joining. As an oldie (35+), I always thought of working for Google was an achievement. A company that makes very cool produ…

Even more annoying is that Mt is one colour and GOX is another. To me this implies there are two shortened words in the name: Mt and GOX. And Mt can easily be thought of as Mountai…

When this is available in Germany (or basically outside the US), they got me. This is how to make things easy.

I don't believe the Search algorithm to be malicious, but it is definitely off. And anti-competitive maybe a bit strong. But wasn't it Google Voice that has been stranded in review…

I'll throw my voice into this maelstrom. 1) Search for "Google Maps" and it is the 5th result. The app is literally called Google Maps. The results before: Fine Maps, PD Maps World…

Geez, I hate Google localisation. It NEVER works. It is always off. I'm sitting in Germany, all my Chrome settings are set to English. Go to the main Nexus blogspot website and its…

I can almost understand Facebook protecting its own interests. But its stuff like this that bugs me: "Your account has been disabled. All of your adverts have been stopped and shou…

ok, I think I know what you're going for. My response was based on the fact that many germans feel that they cannot express their patriotism because of how other countries/people/s…

i'm not sure if you're alluding to something in particular or trying to make a joke. but saying that its frowned upon to be proud of your own country (regardless of country), is to…

as a non-german living in germany, why?

From my experience,a lot programmers get set in their ways. For example, I just stuck with using the standard Console font for my IDE when I installed it years ago. Then I came acr…

Getting an over view was the problem. The groups seemed to be isolated from each other, with their own agenda our theme. Maybe that's how it usually is. To start with, maybe check …

As someone who just dipped their toe into the startup scene, the number of networking groups in the city is amazing. But it seemed very chaotic. the entire time, I was trying to fi…
