i use bing solely to do searches towards getting amazon credit tbh

a few weeks ago they refused to send me anything because they thought i was using an ooolldd (like circa 2002) msn account that i forgot i even had

so i emailed them and said "ok i havent used that in literally years but deactivate that account if it makes you feel better" and i guess they never did because it still wont work

Gmail can have push just like yahoo mail does. the only reason they don't is because Google hasn't enabled it.

they probably have their own "googley" implementation of it because some self-important nerdlinger google rear end in a top hat said he wanted to disrupt email on gmail for millions of people

yeah they (i think) did their own implementation of exchange, i still have it on my iphone 4. they stopped registering devices for it in early 2013 iirc because my old iphone 5 had it (i got in jan 2013 and was surprised that it worked). a replacement one i got a few months ago doesn't even though it use the same exact backup. i am displeased with goofle

active sync is great and its google's insistence on getting rid of it that has hosed everything up for gmail

its because google wants you to use the gmail app if u want gmail push notifications. guess they're cool with me forwarding those emails to icloud mail though.

i dont want to use a separate app for email, ios already gives me a unified inbox

i'd be fine with forwarding to icloud but sometimes i need to reply to things with my gmail address

I would literally rather be waterboarded than do that. who hears about that and is like "oh boy! sign me the gently caress up!!!"

it probably started as "lets all go out for drinks" or something and then snowballed (the dirty kind) from there

this is absolutely true. i've been in meetings with larry and sergey where they were shooting spitballs at each other and loving around and eric would stand up, walk over to between them and put a hand on each of their shoulders and say, "larry, do you have something to say to the end team? sergey, do you have something to say to the eng team?". it was surreal.

also brian valentine was fired from ms for running a porn forwarding mailing list. my officemate was added by accident, saw some mails and replied all with wtf basically. they still mistook him for whomever they meant to add and called him a pussy and stuff so he went to hr and 35 people were fired lol.

the sad thing is that the porn lists etc are probably way more common, it's just only microsoft and a few others where they'll actually bothering firing people over it instead of maybe swapping positions around.

for example: how would uber handle this?

not well considering they would probably high five someone after they ran over an infant

"When we started the [Glass] project, this is one of the ones that it was really clear immediately that we were going to have to get out in the real world." As Teller describes, Google X adheres to a two-part philosophy: Get an idea out in the real world as soon as possible and "fail as fast as you can."

i dont even think something needs to be in GOOGLE ECKS to qualify for this
