Sigh. It's the same anti-Google post on HN again.

Wasn't this a profile piece about the so called "whistleblower" whose "evidence" Google already was confronted with by PM this week?

Hyperbole aside (they won’t drop SMTP) that is a very narrow and unfair view on the situation, they at least tried for years to make it work with these standards and failed. They were obviously the last ones doing so, and this new approach

You can always open a Gmail tab. I think the Chrome app is an excellent cross platform solution (written once, easily maintainable). As for the protocol I don't think it is practical or even possible to built this sort of all encompassing c

Serious question: how practical is it to build something like Hangouts that is meant to compete with iMessage, WhatsApp, Viber etc on top of XMPP? is it even possible?

In GTalk's case any XMPP client will do so an official app is almost irrelevant in its case.

Gtalk will still be available though. "... which users may choose to use instead of Google Talk."

Pro tip: This change means you’re no longer limited to a 25 GB upgrade in Gmail—any additional storage you purchase now applies there, too.

It's just a random outage. iOS won't lose CalDav support since Apple is one of them "whitelisted developers". Edit: resolved http://www.google.com/appsstatus#hl=en&v=issue&ts=13...

I try to avoid these sorts of submissions, mainly because of their non-content and the subsequent familiar discussion, but somehow they keep reaching the front page. It’s certainly your prerogative to use whatever you like but the incorrect

They do not "scrape" content on your local machine. They do incorporate stuff on their services including emails, as you mention (OpenTable, Amazon packages, etc). You can also have this sort of stuff triggerd by desktop searches if you joi

Chrome never implemented RSS auto discovery. Everyone else has a "walled garden" why must Google be different? and why should they - arguably the least “walled” of said gardens - suffer the "openness" brunt? The fact that they are not inves

No one is forcing him or you to use any of these things. It's just another Google Reader lament.

How is that analogy valid?! why install a browser extension when you're not interested in its functionality?
