Google’s revenue for the quarter was $15.96 billion, an increase of 22 percent over the year-ago quarter. Net revenue, which excludes payments to the company’s advertising partners, was $12.71 billion, up from $11.1 billion last year. Analysts expected gross revenue of $15.6 billion.

Net income in the second quarter rose nearly 6 percent to $3.42 billion, or $4.99 a share. Excluding the cost of stock options and the related tax benefits, Google’s profit was $6.08 a share. Analysts had expected $6.23 a share, according to data compiled by Bloomberg.

Shares of Google’s stock rose about 1 percent in after-hours trading to $589.25.

Despite Google’s continuing mobile dilemma, its advertising competitors are still small in its rearview mirror. Google accounted for nearly 32 percent of online global ad spending in 2013, according to estimates from eMarketer. Facebook is in second place, accounting for nearly 6 percent of 2013’s $120.05 billion online global advertising market.

Encode::Guess. this is not a joke, it really is close to your only option.

if your codings got mangled that means you were sending non-ascii mail w/out mime. you're in a world of pain

i meant more like, how do i actually do it. theyre all sitting around in a gmail account & in mail.app so i guess maybe i download them with Net::IMAP, feed them through that guesser & put them back up? ugh that seems like way more effort than im willing to put into it

use net::imap to download each one, guess its encoding, reformat as mime, and upload again.

a lot of them will not survive the mime conversion 100% intact, but mostly-intact beats totally unreadable

Lisa's Sax is the 3rd episode of season 9 and is easily one of the better episodes. It just follows the most hated episode ever

they had an underappreciated second wind in like seasons 15-18 (to no small part because a number of the competitors that people left and started around season 9 had failed and they got some good writers back)

hey this is just business realism. twitter has plenty of revenue. there's all kinds of revenue to manage and report on. pretty charts and graphs. armies of spreadsheets about revenue. what they lack is profit. tons of revenue but they operate at a loss.

a chief financial officer would yell at them. so here's the new shiny position that denies financial gravity: a chief revenue officer who never pouts about their utter inability to earn a legitimate profit.

Google is promising to fix a bug in Chrome for Windows that has been draining laptop batteries for years. The problem was first reported in 2010, but a recent investigation by Forbes has bumped the issue to the top of Google’s Chrome bug report list. Chrome’s battery drain problem affects Windows users as Google sets a parameter for processor-intensive tasks much lower than Microsoft recommends. The result means laptop processors are waking up far more often than they should when Chrome is open on Windows and a webpage is idle. Internet Explorer and Firefox don't exhibit the same battery drain problem.
