Gmail doesn't manage most of the planet's email by a long shot (Hotmail, ISPs email, Web hosting accounts email, China and other countries who try to avoid USA-based Internet services, etc) and email is compatible everywhere anyway. There's no lock-in.
Google is not the only search engine available, anyone can start an indexation service and anyone can get indexed by everyone. There's no lock-in.
Especially when all they're used to do is just load dozens of libraries to use a handful of functions from each one. That's how we get a Web version of "Hello World" that requires three megabytes of download.
The history of warfare is subdivided into three phases: retribution, anticipation, and diplomacy. Thus, retribution: “I’m going to kill you because you killed my brother.” Anticipation: “I’m going to kill you because I killed your brother.” And diplomacy: “I’m going to kill my brother and then kill you on the pretext that your brother did it.”
Still not fixed, it doesn't work with the latest version of Safari and I'm not about to install another browser just to download files from one stupid website.
And once again, my confusion comes from the habit of OSS developers to name things differently from everybody else just for the sake of being different. This is annoying and pointless.
Had the news been about "changing the background color/picture on the login screen", I would have understood immediately.
It's not cynicism, I'm really curious why background color/picture is being listed as a feature at all. It's one of the first few basic GUI items that should be working. It's like telling me that, at last, the pointer really follows your mouse movements or that USB flash drives are finally working properly.
Users can also define a background color or a background picture no matter what greeter they are using.
I don't know what a "greeter" is supposed to be, but if being able to define a background color or a background picture is listed as a feature in 2014, it's not getting me interested in trying out Linux.

I hope they'll take businesses away from GoDaddy.
Just ask Madoka.
Not to mention that if they store the energy in a bank, they're going to lose most of it to transaction fees.
They're going to rent the Apple suite? If it's at the Hilton, then it's obvious they'll need all the money they can get!

I'm waiting for Firefox 3000: Kitchen Sink Edition.
I pity everyone living in Alabama and Alaska.
With credit to Douglas Adams, sorry for the omission.

Or you just never heard about it.
My apologies, comrade. I meant to say "Welcome to former-Soviet-style USA".
How about "Perl 6 is DNF's retarded cousin?"
Microsoft wants Apple users to trade their laptops for Microsoft tablets. How thick are they?
Next up: Microsoft wants you to trade your Playstation 4 in for an Xbox One and only offers you a 200$ rebate for for it, too.
"Alleged" operational leader. No trial. Bam! You're dead.
Welcome to Soviet USA.
How about a taco that craps ice cream?

Because MEGA is a fucking pile of useless shit that doesn't allow people to download files with any regular Web browser.
