in theory you can disable annotations here

but sometimes they still show up

and in a few weeks it'll forget that you disabled 'em

also http://www.google.com/get/videoqualityreport/ still doesn't have results for my area and isp

afik the exchange server integration is only available with the Ex plans, not the Px small business plans. you can't mix the plans within a domain and the per license cost of the Px plans is lower so it tends to be what businesses with les than 25 licenses are using.

i just think "what if you only had one plan that was $5 per seat-month or $50 per seat-year"

Google today began blocking local Chrome extensions to protect Windows users. This means that as of today, extensions can be installed in Chrome for Windows only if they’re hosted on the Chrome Web Store.

Furthermore, Google says extensions that were previously installed “may be automatically disabled and cannot be re-enabled or re-installed until they’re hosted in the Chrome Web Store.” The company didn’t specify what exactly qualifies the “may” clause, though we expect it may make exceptions for certain popular extensions for a limited time.

if you have the screen off you can't see overlay ads.

of google's app team is full of the types of nerds that get really angry and dig in when you dare mention you want to do something their softwar doesn't do.

I'm 50/50 on what the actual explanation is. does the ipad app show the overlay ads in the first place?

you can in theory disable those obnoxious annotations video publishers smear everywhere but it doesn't work because google hasn't mastered "cookies"

same way the hot bullshit "welcome to the new version of maps that you've been using for a year, take a tour just like the tour you've taken three times already"math at google maps does because they don't have a profile field that says "has already been using new maps" or "has seen the new maps tour" because

i get the impression that the new maps was made by a whole different team that thinks learning from past/others mistakes is "something that boring people do"

if that was true they wouldn't nag me with tutorial callouts every other time i start it up

meanwhile, apple maps is really good now and the desktop app is great and it actually supports trackpads correctly (none of that amateur hour click and drag to pan and scroll to zoom poo poo)

apple maps is still absolutely terrible at searching for addresses, especially in the presense of typos or whatever. gmaps will probably figure out what you're searching within a few keystrokes, but apple maps often won't think to search for "maybrooke dr" if you've searched for "may brook dr" and it'll list all the may brooks in the country instead of the maybrooke in your city.

yeah i guess it's my actual city privilege helping me out because it's not getting confused about "400 nw 26 st"
