Maybe not all parts of the world have been so deeply 'californicated by Apple' ;-)

I think when they show it in every life situation (except on a funeral, maybe), it's safe to assume that the general idea is 'in life'.

This is what matters in life .. the 'experience of a product'? What the..

If bugfixing those planes will be as rigidly pursued as with some open source software, maybe the phrase 'buying a ticket' gets a totally new meaning ;-)

When ruling against government 'trojan horses' infecting private computers, the German Constitutional Court used a similar idea, thereby extending the German contitution's equivale…

A working back button would be nice (to get back to language selection).

It's a Sorkin quote, so of course it has bravado and ego. ;-)

It's actually not such a big hack - it just uses technology that is meant to be used for writing systems that have to put together characters as pieces, because there are so many o…

The sound of the Bösendorfer is beautiful and really special, maybe they should sponsor more like that. I'd love to listen to some 19th century stuff on that piano, in particular. …

Good to see that google is finally running an efficient PR department :-)

Exactly my experience. I wonder why DDG doesnt integrate with Bings image search (and more natively) ?
