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 it. And loving the Minimetro vibes! (Running this

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 more. The perfect drop-in replacement.

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 for a while now? I think Apple's mono-culture is beginning

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 Worldwide Edition, Google Earth(?!). 2) 300 comments and the topi

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 in English. Great. (despite being blogspot.de) Click on Nex

If you're a programmer/developer/hacker, you don't "throw out" what you already know. Wouldn't learning a new language expand your toolset? Not replace it. And I think most here agree that Go and C++ are solving different problem spaces. So

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 should not be run again on the site under any circumstances. Gen

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/stereotypes will view them. intentions be damned. that was on

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 me, not a nice thing to say. singling germany out forever b

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 across this article, or one similar, and messed around with dif

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 "Silicon Allee". I think that is one of the biggest. They m
