the thing I'll never get about g+ is why they had to be so up-front about stuff like merging accounts, making you use your real name, etc. letting people use their BS internet names [or even multiple ones under the same account, whoa] would have been a competitive advantage over FB and they'd still have all that juicy usage data anyway without annoying people and souring them to the idea [g+ has such a bad interface, particularly on mobile they never had much of a chance anyway]

flat ui design is equally good or bad to one with more dimensionality, the difference is flat requires more work to get right and nobody's really got it right yet

quote:Berlin artist Julian Oliver has written a simple program called Glasshole.sh that detects any Glass device attempting to connect to a Wi-Fi network [...] When it detects Glass, it uses the program Aircrack-NG to impersonate the network and send a “deauthorization” command, cutting the headset’s Wi-Fi connection.
