Huh. I honestly read Vlad saying that worked better in practice, and figured he was just so enthusiastic about new technology he was getting carried away.

The extra second delay before switching is extremely annoying to me, having tried both on an earlier device (with a remapped search→multitask mod), but maybe I just switch tasks more often then most.

If Google is forced to remove features, I hope they only do so in Europe and not globally.

They are missing, but that’s just honesty — I enjoy reading the Verge, but I take the photo with everyone in suits and ties at face value.

shudder New York. Nice place to visit, but I’d hate to live there.

I run Linux (except at work, where we use OSX), and while I nearly adore Ambiance and like Oxygen… I’m really liking this new look for Windows, too.

They did. :)

I re-read (or first-read?) Maugan’s post… and… I honestly have no idea how I misread what he said so badly, but I owe him an apology. Sorry. :(

640K ought to be enough for anybody.

“Music thief”, eh? Their prices are about the same as Amazon’s, and Amazon lets you download your song as many times as you want.

It means not having to worry about adding your music folder to your backups — I’m really disappointed with Google Music. If everyone was making customers jump through hoops like this, they might be able to get away with it, but it’s just them.

The best part is the patent in question.

Circles is done well, and is nice and useful — but also very subtle. I tend to only share to my extended circles, which is the default, while following people who post to public.

Hangouts… is pretty amazing. If Google+ has a killer feature, this is it. I have friends who use it just for the incredible (and free) group video chat.

The grid of icons one specifies that they have to have uniformly rounded corners; that and the bottom row of square icons is not present on the tablet. (TouchWiz on phones is another story…)

That leaves:
- a rectangular product shape with all four corners uniformly rounded;
- the front surface of the product dominated by a screen surface with black borders;
- as to the iPad product, substantial black borders on all sides being roughly equal in width;

The second and third overlap a bit, but there you go.

Apple makes great products, but this whole fiasco is as obnoxious as it is possible to imagine.

The alleged article that you are allegedly linking in your alleged reply might allegedly contain the information you say, but are they really revelations as you allege?

… actually, I clicked, and that article really is a great read. Thanks.
