i actually liked the new google maps. until they abruptly discontinued support for firefox on linux.

it was working fine for months, then one day they gave me a little lightning bolt and said i was in "lite mode." lite mode looks excatly like regular google maps but none of the buttons or links work. e.g. you cannot get directions

the best part of this is that it works fine with firefox and linux on my desktop. it's only broken on my laptop. gg gentlemen

google drive is way better now idk how anyone could prefer the old version

on desktop the new hangouts timestamp placement is pure poop from a butt tho at least the spacing is correct in os x but on windows its all crammed up against the dialogue and is way too big

why don't the headphones vibrate for turns

then you don't need a $600 mistake

some sort of vibration of the airwaves, something so subtle you wouldn't even feel it, but you'd know which way to turn

they're either crappy ones with no noise isolation and all you hear is the air WHOOSHing through them

or they're the good kind and you can't hear anything but your workout tunes. not the other cyclist trying to pass you, or the pedestrian you almost hit, or the giant truck about to run you over

earbuds don't have passive noise cancellation and turn-by-turn directions aren't distracting

I've got a better one. strap a Bluetooth speaker to your bike so you can hear your turn by turn directions, annoy passers by with your awful European club mix, and not be totally oblivious to your surroundings.

nah it probably was crap then too.

in 2008 they just added good quality stereo and 720p but only if you uploaded in certain formats, most stuff was still 360 or maybe 480

yeah, once i ordered a dvd from play.com and then later saw a banner on some other site that tried to get me to buy the same movie, on play.com.

like, what the hell is the loving point?

and the banner just had multiple copies of the same movie, not other similar movies that i might like based on the movie i bought or anything.
