lol oh yeah! i remember msn messenger had stuff like small multiplayer games and drawing. it really was a cool product. of course ms had to kill it, or in this case cannibalize it into a lovely stripped down version separate from the main version, then kill them both.

i remember trying to play some of the more advanced games and stuff with my friends but they were just using windows messenger, 'cause what's the difference

iirc they forked it into the barebones 4.x that didn't do anything and was ugly, and the windows live bing messenger x one s or whatever it was, that tried to integrate custom smilies (which were legit great) with a bunch of other bloaty features and "security" stuff like always-on url/exe blocking that annoyed way more people than it helped. it also kinda sucked at getting your attention when you were doing something else, which is something trillian and icq had figured out on their second day

they used a 32 bit signed int and it overflowed with the 3 billion value

though google making that mistake and not catching it in testing isn't really that surprising

The thing with google is that once you have, like, a billion people using your poo poo every day it's cheaper to skip qa or thoughtful product design​ and just do experiments on like 10,000 live humans to see if your build of ChatExpress makes them throw up or not.

Err sorry I meant "a/b testing for data driven decision making" *whistles and slowly backs out of the room*

i don't work on hardware or ios stuff so I don't get new phones. you only get the brand new hardware if you have a specific testing or dev need.
