I like how they encode the "page" number in the URL, but they still managed to gently caress up the back button.

infernal machines posted:backup storage cost several times more per gb than standard storage, because reasons. if I had to guess, backup storage is reliable, standard storage isn't. I think google has pricing plans for that kind of thing too, but they give you reliable by default and offer cheaper unreliable storage if you want to live dangerously

yes, that reason is your message body must not be MIME encoded because you're interacting with a terrible ancient legacy system, and weirdly enough encoding it using quoted-printable ruins that

I've probably posted this before, but the irritating thing is that they could've sold G+ to the public without much difficulty or any mockery at all if they'd framed it completely differently: Phase 1: Hey, we realized that having a bunch of different contact lists was awkward and confusing, so we've unified them into social circles! Now you have a unified address book across all our services, so whenever you want to send an email, add an editor to a Google Doc, share a photo album or YouTube video, you use the same interface and same groupings of people you know. Phase 2: Wow, we have a bunch of different services that want to tell you what's going on, so we've unified them into a single activity feed at Google.com that we call Google+. Now whenever somebody shares a YouTube video or Picasa photo album with you, sends you an Gmail, asks you to comment on edits to your Google Docs, or invites you to a Google Calendar event, or when your package ships, traffic conditions change, news articles or RSS feeds you're interested in are published or you get instant messaged, it will show up in one place on your Google.com homepage. Phase 3: We've realize that sometimes you want to send the people you know a quick note about what you're up to without having to compose an Gmail or upload a video to YouTube, so we've added a quick way to post a message, video or photo album to the Google+ activity feeds of your social circles without having to leave Google+ for Gmail, YouTube or Picasa. Phase 4: Hey, you can share stuff from third party web sites to Google+ now, or even log in using your Google+ identify if you want. But instead they made a Facebook and told everybody who already hated Facebook that they should use the Google Facebook instead and it went nowhere. And then they added the shittier aspects of Facebook like corporate Facebook pages and Facebook games and it was just poo poo all around.

btw, I have it straight from a Google employee that the official internal explanation of why Google Reader was killed off was: 1. The only department that would make sense for Google Reader would've been Google+ 2. Google+ didn't want Reader because they didn't want machine generated content which doesn't make any loving sense since most RSS content is directly created by humans, but whatever, NewsBlur is reasonably priced and wildly better than Google Reader

what would be the point? it did two things: fetched feeds at regular intervals, and kept track of which idividual items a user account had viewed. there was also some kind of weird social network sharing thing that apparently a vocal minority used, but who gives a gently caress about that? that's basically all you need to build more useful and powerful apps if youwant , and more than dequate if you're just using the web site directly alternatives weren't necessary until it ceased to exist
