They are trying to claim that Google+ has more active users than Twitter. Clearly that isn't so, so there's either something wrong with their methodology, or Google are paying them to say that.
One possible error with their methodology is if they are counting YouTube users twice. Once as a user of YouTube, and then also because Google has tricked YouTube users into being Google+ members.

Absolutely. Google tricks people into signing up to Google+. I had to end up deleting all my accounts with YouTube and other Google services to get rid of the Google+ account I never wanted.
I will never sign up for a Google service again. They make Facebook look honest by comparison.
The news is that in the EU it's illegal to track users with cookies without their consent. Google went out of their way to circumvent the security settings on Safari, such that they tracked users even when they's said no. And then on top of that Google lied about it, saying they weren't doing so.
It's illegal. There is no "it's already happening" defence.
He's not back pedalling. What he explained he meant is exactly how I read his original post. Just because you thought he meant something else does not mean he did. Just that his post was open to misinterpretation.
They're not looking harder for illegal labor practices now because it is the right thing to do, they're doing it to cover their own asses because other people caught them using contractors who break every rule imaginable.
Even though every other tech company also uses those same Asian contractors. What computer did you use to post? For sure it was made using those same contractors.
Apple's the company doing the most to get the child labour problem fixed. But because you hate Apple (going back to the 80s), rationality no longer plays a part in this for you. You still believe Apple is the problem. You are a hypocrite.
Space panic as the first platformer. Pac man as the first game with power-ups. Also I think the first computer character franchise. Elite as the first open ended space exploration.
These programs are influential because of their features, paradigms and UIs. Not their source code, which may not have been influential at all. The source is pretty irrelevant, other than to specialist computer archeologists.

Well look at that. The coward moderator modded it overrated instead. Because overrated doesn't get metamoderated.
This site is full of dishonest scum.
...spread their cheeks for their enemy...
Are you surprised people find Chavez a retarded swine?
I'm not surprised you do. Weak minds are easily influenced by propaganda.
Twitter is a social network.

Well there's Twitter.

Actually, it was when I saw the story that Google was storing all your searches, going back years and associating them with your accounts. I decided to delete all accounts with them at that stage.

Given that there is no god, "saints" is just as false a label as "demons".
The details were covered on Slashdot at the time, but here it is again: http://blogs.wsj.com/digits/2012/02/16/how-google-tracked-safari-users/

i find it mildly amusing that Apple product users are suing google over something related to tracking.
Why?
It the usual plan to demonise your enemy. Same happened to Fidel Castro; the same's happening now to Hugo Chavez.
I agree that there is some degree of AGW.
And I'm glad to see you've seen the light too.
I'll take the opinion of the climate scientists rather than some random person off the internet, thanks.
You're trying to explain my post to me? Or what it was I understood from the original post? Idiot.

Yes, the hypocrisy here knows no bounds does it?
When the news was that some of Apple's suppliers employed child labour, then Apple was evil for indirectly implying child labour.
Now it's clear that Apple is doing everything to combat the child labour in these companies, now Apple is evil for putting children out of work.
(Even though the children aren't suffering financially at all.)
I'm not responsible for your lack of comprehension ability.
WorldWideWeb was the first real browser. The one written by Tim Berners Lee, 3 years before Mosaic.
Mosaic was the first popular one.
It was influenced by Doom. So I'd say Doom would be the one to go in the list, not Quake.
Jumpman looks like it was a Donkey Kong and Space Panic derivative.
And Barbarian came after lots of similar PvP fighting-games.
Space panic as the first platformer.
Pac man as the first game with power-ups. Also I think the first computer character franchise.
Elite as the first open ended space exploration.

It was just Hunt The Wumpus 3D.
This is a list of influential programs, not programs that were written as the next step on from those influential programs.
For the same reason, VisiCalc should be here, but not Lotus 1.2.3 or Excel.
