Same here. Considering how much effort seems to have been put in on the design, I'm kind of disgusted that a flaw like this would go all the way into production.

if you're going to speak on complex law issues, how about learning the difference between then and than?

Mobile companies such as HTC, Motorla and Samsung are being forced to pay Microsoft licensing fees for their Android phones because of patents Microsoft owns. Google needs its own arsenal of patents in order to prevent the situation from getting worse. How is Android supposed to prosper if mobile companies are being forced to pay Microsoft to use it? Owning the patents jointly with Microsoft gives Google nothing to use against Microsoft, therefore defeating the whole purpose of owning the patents.

I gave it shot for a while because I needed the Turbo feature. I liked using Opera, it was fast and the new chrome-like GUI is nice. However... as soon as my internet was back at full capacity I changed back to Chrome. You say you like it because of the completeness, but I found that it was missing quite a few small things which I cannot live without. Off the top off my head I can only remember two things -
Tabs cannot be dragged in and out of windows
Text cannot be selected and dragged into the URL bar

That really sucks. Still, these people should have considered the possibility that the photos were not copies and that they would be deleted in both places.

I read on HN that + was originally titled +1.
jigs_up | 14 years ago | on: What does Google get from +1?
Google can track your activity on every website that uses the +1 button. I'm sure you can figure out why that would be useful?

People say PHP is a templating language because it allows inline code. I think that's what he meant.
