google+ interface is really loving bad

i forget what happened to google messages or whatever their im thing was but it's in g+ now under hangouts, and whenever you mouseover poo poo it pops up profiles that just sort of linger and hold focus as you're trying to type your message

very annoying

pretty terrible, angry orchard ginger something. i think angry orchard is the barqs root beer of ciders where anheiser busch or someone bought a venerable brand just as a shortcut in to a market.

yeah i just saw an ad for it last night and it was pretty goofy

the idea of cider was tempting but probs not their implementation

It's debatable whether the current US model is even really democratic. I'm not really too personally interested in economic theory but I do keep up on it somewhat.

There was a good interview with Bill Moyers and Krugman discussing Piketty's Capital a few weeks ago on Moyers' show.
Here's a video of the interview and a transcript. The reaction to Capital has been fairly hilarious, there are some lol Forbes articles about it

But anyway Moyers had a monologue after the interview, and he said:


Looking forward to that study.

I actually like Google okay, they have good services if you're a small business. It does suck how they abruptly drop things or modify interfaces, often with little input from the outside.

people don't tend to tune into people who are just plain streaming unless its something like a leaked game or something.

people who get major stream followings tend to be good at doing running commentary on what they're playing and why they're playing it, and often get their audience involved in choices if the game offers real choices or w/e

this is why it was correct that microsoft got away with bundling trident, it simply makes sense for a web age os to have html rendering built into the system, especially as it simplified things like the disparate markups used in things like older style help files and poo poo.



also, netscape deserved to die for trying to keep the paid browser business model going while providing an inferior product and then being unable to support said paid product.

when i was in high school i worked for the school isp and sold/installed a bunch of netscapes right out of the box with that dumb wheel logo

weird to think about people paying for a browser but the customers were old and i got to find out that cj poo poo sucks at a relatively early age

got to meet david h. depatie (he drew the pink panther and had a grudge against peter sellers for killing himself) so that was cool i guess

what did he say when you told him sellers died of a heart attack and not suicide?

he didn't kill himself literally but he drank himself to an early grave, was the gist

we laughed with him but it's like, you're old and got rich drawing a cartoon don't gripe so much

he wanted more sequels so he could draw the credit sequences i guess

press the home button twice to get to the app switcher. swipe from the left side of the screen to go back to the previous screen.

yes neither of these things are made in any way intuitive.

both aynroid and apple phones are factory set-up with a handful of large eye-catching buttons for a UI just add more until your home screen is visually equivalent to a typical windows desktop where every app, folder and document has a shortcut in triplicate

everything beyond that is tech-genius stuff to most people

whether or not you micromanage and force quit your apps has no impact on this afaik

yeah i didn't really have a point

if you don't have enough memory on the device though you're gonna come back to a blank page/spinning wheel which kind of makes memory management uh, not relevant cuz you can't manage what isn't there and neither can ios

what i'm saying is i wish my old ipad had more memory and i'm seriously considering getting that yuge one instead of the much better pro because it has twice the memory and paying 1k earth dollars for something with 4GB seems dumb
