Also, do they think that Gmail and Google Docs change the world? Because I don't see how they would. Yes, everybody and their mom uses it, but in terms of changing the world, it is all just "paperclip version 2.0".
No, we're not all one big organism, or at least it's not useful to think that way.
Why is that? If one wanted to reduce suffering, perhaps that would be best way to view the world. And following Occam's razor, it would also be the most logical way to view the world.
When it comes to the ethics of eating meat, the issue is not really the eating but the killing.
On a fundamental level, everything is actually part of one big organism, because where do you draw the line between where one organism ends and another organism starts?
For example, you could propose that if the nuclei of two atoms are further apart than x Angstrom (and the atoms are not connected through a "chain" of "close" atoms), those atoms are part of 2 different organisms. You can't choose x to be zero (this would be nonsensical) so how would you choose x? Clearly the question itself is nonsensical and the concept of "different organisms" actually does not exist.
The fact that there is no strong neurological connection (chain of strongly interacting atoms) between your brain and the brain of a (random) octopus, doesn't mean that you're two different creatures. On a fundamental level you should be considered as being one.
Hence eating octopus (or in fact anything) is like eating yourself.
I just created an empty shell of a google+ account like most people.
However, google is still able to use that shell account in the same way as a "cookie" (to track you). Unless you create a new shell account every time you go on the internet.

Did he mean "breaking" as in: services becoming more federated instead of being governed by 1 or 2 mega-corporations?
How is Chromium coming along?
Does Google still add features to it, now that it forked off Chrome?

Spammers already solved this problem ages ago when trying to circumvent CAPTCHAs.

Totally agree with that.
My post has got nothing to do with engineering (making the premise inapplicable).
So what is your point?

As if the masses could tell the difference...
You buy an Apple product.
LOL!
Stop whining about the fact that young women get more attention: they will have bigger problems later in life, when men lose interest in them.
Data isn't evidence, but it can be used to find useful hypotheses, starting points for further research.

E=mc^2, so you might be right. In the end almost any problem can be formulated as an energy problem.
Indeed, the study should be extended with statistics of which *phone brand* gets the most traffic tickets.

There, fixed that for you.
We have to tear down all buildings, as they're slanted now.
On the bright side, perhaps the tower of Pisa will one day be straight again.

This sounds like surrendering.

The problem is: the memory is just big enough to install the facebook app on it.
After that, all is lost.
The poster specifically asked for a non-cloud-based solution.
Also, it can be very inappropriate in the office...

It may as well run on water!
