the huge loving nav bar that is always black and never matches anything is one of the things I hate most about the way android looks. the worst part is it can be semi transparent (or used to be able to) but like no app does that poo poo, not even the google ones. at least they color the top bar now (sometimes)

when you use an app in fullscreen, like watching a video, the navbar dissapears

Eric Schmidt needs to shut the gently caress up.

http://blogs.wsj.com/digits/2015/03/16/thoughts-on-gender-equality-in-tech-interrupted/?mod=WSJBlog

quote:

Google Executive Chairman Eric Schmidt had a lot to say Monday about the lack of racial and gender diversity in the technology industry.

In fact, Schmidt had so much to say that he often interrupted and spoke over his co-panelist, Megan Smith, the U.S.’s chief technology officer and a former Google executive. The two appeared on a panel at the South by Southwest conference in Austin, Tex.

At one point, Schmidt opined on which of two questions Smith should respond to. Later, he interjected mid-sentence with thoughts on Raspberry Pi, a small computer popular with digital tinkerers that Smith was promoting.

Toward the end of the session, one woman in the audience asked the two to address how personality biases in men and women affect workplace dynamics. She noted that Schmidt repeatedly talked over his former colleague — prompting applause from a full exhibit hall.

the person who called him out? Judith Williams, manager of Global Diversity and Talent Programs and head of the Unconscious Bias project at google

No he needs to keep talking and hopefully important people will eventually wise up that he is a colossal idiot and probably the most uncool human being on earth
