yeah authy is better but i don't give enough of a gently caress to actually migrate all that poo poo over to authy for the exact same feature set, maybe authy won't delete all my tokens though like google did that time

Google has signed a 60-year lease for an historic Navy blimp hangar near its Silicon Valley headquarters.
It will pay $1.16 billion over the life of the lease and invest $200 million in renovations in Hangar One. The landmark building is visible to drivers taking the main route between San Francisco and San Jose.

i can't find a copy of it but on a pre-release version of this icon the designer messed up the colour of the circle inside the pin (made it grey) and it looked normal on his computer screen but when you saw it on your actual iphone there was this weird optical effect that was literally uncomfortable. hard to describe but you'd look at the icon and it just felt physically bad.

When we first launched Google Wallet for digital goods, we wanted to make it simple for users and merchants to buy and sell online. The industry has matured a lot since then, providing a number of alternative payment solutions to choose from.

As we continue to evolve and improve our merchant tools to meet new market challenges in the payments space, we are writing to let you know we will be retiring the Google Wallet for digital goods API on March 2, 2015.

Is Google offering a replacement product?

No, Google is not offering a replacement processing solution for digital goods on websites.

i've actually been waiting for another big shut down like this to officially "launch" it. but you can re-submit any of the existing apps and i'll delete the old one. in fact i insist everyone do this with their wittiest descriptions then i will zend it to the blogs of the world.

Google's theory is that creating as many apps as possible, and alloiwng them to fail fast and painlessly will eventually give them another hit app. But this ignores the needs of users.
