Google+ doesn't have any grouping features period. Circles are just FB Friend Lists with a better mobile UI, overbuilt and wasteful desktop UI, no exclusion abilities, and is incapable of actually "grouping".
At least in FB, you can actually join and group and share group-related posts without having to micro-manage how you post it, such as cat-pictures group. The group, public or private, each person CHOOSES how they opt-in/out. You can't do that in G+ except to ask each of your "followers" if they want to be included in your "cat-pictures" mailing-list/Circle.
Google+ is nothing more than a thinly veiled Gmail with auto-forwarding of "emails". The only way to keep all of your circles from spamming you in Stream is to de-Circle them from ALL circles so that they end up in Incoming aka "junk" Circle.
"People hold online anonymity up as a virtue and necessity. I say it is the root cause of a social disease, and should be greatly limited." — Matt Greenfield
That is the root of this "holier than thou", aka koolaid, disease. When somebody thinks freedom of speech is evil and needs limitation. Yes, anonymity equals freedom of speech. Otherwise, every post should be 100% public to stamp out hidden grumbling disease; it also begs the question of why do Circles even exist? It also assumes you can trust a "real name" more than any pseudonym. Where's the CV and double-verified references first?
There's a great amount of historical, anonymous authorship, besides old and new revolutions, that back this.
Commingling of all services where one negative affects the others directly has shades of "universal default" that's already been outlawed, besides monopolistic policies. Google already has the ability to track the individual through this "suspension" system so blaming pseudonyms is nothing but a straw-man distraction.
Draconian, Stalinist policies have no place in continued history.

Shipping/mailing/sorting costs them much, much, much less than their licensing fees. It's been analyzed many times.
This is up-front content-provider squeezing.
I'd now feel even more justified to just drop cable as its value per month/year is even less than this 60% dilution. BT + faster Internet has a higher value to price than cable too.
Have you seen the SDK costs for Opera? They make money that way for embedded ports. Nintendo for DS probably, etc, any STBs.
If Sony would fork up the cash instead of funding their lawyers, Opera for PS3 would be nice. Sony doesn't seem to have have the skills for a proper Webkit port (unless Google did it for them).
Yes I have (for a large global entertainment company based in the USA), and now IT is just wallflowers relegated to autonomous functions like email or file-serving, while the rest of the real development and money-making is NOT MS software.
I'm also now in a large former-military-turned-consumer-electronics and again, all of MS tech is used mostly to run email and file-sharing while the rest of the real bread-winning is Linux.
But the point of this is shops investing heavily in.NET and Silverlight as their sole bread-winning strategy has NOTHING to do with your derivative IT tangent. After all going by your example,.NET and Silverlight is actually the new kid on the block and any conservative company wanting to pick cheap and consistent technology would pick industry-wide tech such as OpenGLES, Linux, Java, and C++. Going.NET and Silverlight is expensive NEW development and a conscious choice to wade into high-risk.
The big mobile tech now is iOS, and that's OpenGLES, ObjC/C/C++, you cannot avoid that. If you wanted to go Android, Java and OpenGLES again. So OpenGLES is the conservative and safe choice, unlike the way you've couched it as "old" tech to be avoided.
Shops that heavily invested in Silverlight deserve getting razed for it.
When all the post-PC news does not involve MS nor MS technologies to any significant degree, going SIlverlight to shortcut real development is pure, moronic suicide. In fact at this point, heavily investing in any MS-technologies without hedging (such as DirectX while the rest of the mobile world is OpenGLES 2.x) is just daft.
Even though it's been turned on in CM7, it's not a full-strength/range nor good enough to support audio for some devices. External GPS support is really good though.
There's a replacement for all these rants by non-computer professionals. Control/caps remap apps exist in every platform, alt-f4/apple-q hello!, resize your terminal window or suck it up with less, etc etc.
One of the merits of Windows is it has kept numerous keyboard shortcuts from even the Brief days, ie control/shift-insert.
Article was just too computer unsavvy, failed to note many old and obscure features died rightly through UI unification, and just lacked technical depth to merit credibility.
Every ARM worth talking about these days (past ARMv6) has a mandatory FPU coproc on 14 (single-precision) and 15 (double-precision), it's a vector FPU, and NEON multimedia in the later Cortex versions. All of the iPhones are ARM and have a FPU.
I should know. I'd written a FPU driver for WinMob6 that remapped all the software library calls into hardware calls, as well the fact MSVC generates ARM inline FPU calls, if set with the right flags.
Why do you think Froyo jumped 5-10x in linpack? Hardware FPU-enabled -- I'd gotten the same increase in WinMob6 on math benchmarks.
Don't forget that Skype is a major Qt user and Microsoft has basically killed Qt at the source: Nokia. Qt itself is a major multi-platform player which does NOT mesh with Microsoft culture, as previously demonstrated at Hotmail.
Much like Hotmail, the day of switching over to.NET is coming for Skype.
You suck. It is the 65C816 by WDC which was at least 2x faster than an 8088 and > 4x faster than a 6502 from MOS. Of course that's stock numbers because the latest 65C816s run closer to 20MHz and faster than the original 2.8MHz (2.6MHz under load). Still have my IIGS.
What's the point though now an Android phone can emulate it n-times faster.
When you only read western news, not only is it biased and uninformed, you're days behind.
From the 23/24th: "dannychoo http://ow.ly/4lhVf radiations levels in Tokyo tap water have dropped off - safe for toddlers to drink."
Also this from WHO: "It should also be noted that the Japanese guideline value is an order lower than the internationally agreed Operational Intervention Levels (OIL's) for I-131 (3,000 Bq/kg), Cs-134 (1,000 Bq/kg) and Cs-137 (2,000 Bq/kg). Iodine-131 is not a significant source of radiation because of its low specific activity (ref. IAEA General Safety Guide No. 2: http://www-pub.iaea.org/MTCD/publications/PDF/Pub1467_web.pdf"
No, sounds like they're finally feeding water into it which is allowing boil off and so some radiation release. Two very different hings. Do not conflate it with the fact the are fixing things and it's under more cooling control than left alone.
Levels of cesium and iodine are from direct runoff and in the direction of venting. The levels are still nothing to worry about unless you're in the direct area. Tap water was being fed by the Edo river from the north into Tokyo's water. That's just another red herring vector they fixed. At the tap, it's so diluted, it's not an issue. How are vegetables in HK accumulating unless it's getting shipped from JP?
The severe burns was because they walked around in the water pools that they didn't know had lots of radiation contaminants in it. A result from all the water dumping, and "washing" of the reactors. Just a silly accident. They are not sure what impact pumping impure water into the reactors is having and probably resulting in some corrosion. Also turning on machinery after the explosions is expected to have lots of smoke as they work out what got damaged.
Man, it gets tiring to cool your hysteria, even for 3-digit. You can read all the Armageddon you want into anything.

What about Location/Places or they're that forgettable?
It basically killed Orkut for the general world populance, and it sure didn't prevent spam as it was meant to.
Notebook, Buzz, Location, Orkut are basically half-dead or dead.

True. I messed up there. The few mobile platforms that actually can run the MS stack for it.
Even Linux with Moonlight can't qualify because the DRM can't be ported in DRM-safe way.
As soon as HTML5 has a DRM alternative for PCs. It's easier to control on embedded devices, on the other side.
Shops that heavily invested in Silverlight deserve getting razed for it.

No when you count the users on iPhones, PS3s, Androids, Rokus, Boxees, Wiis, Xbox 360s, TiVos, Wimpy7s, etc etc.
No Silverlights there, and becoming practically irrelevant except for PCs.
Friend Lists 'filters'; use them.
But this is hilarious coming from Slashdot, the original Facebook.
Even though it's been turned on in CM7, it's not a full-strength/range nor good enough to support audio for some devices. External GPS support is really good though.
They got a NookColor sale out of me because of their lenient policy. That's money in the bank without advertising.
Seriously?

Linux users are sources of revenue? Just going by that and percentage of Linux users vs other platforms, cutting off Linux is "free".
Being able to cut off Android, priceless.
