Too bad Google+ is a clusterfuck of mediocrity that only confuses people with an endless stream of goat piss.
I looked for a while and then I realized that there is no way this "person" will give a crap about anything the customer thinks unless it is total agreement with corporate overlords.
Picasa was the last Google service of any value to me. Now I'm better off without them. Might as well stop using gmail now, while its on my own initiative.
Absolutely true. The more you get to know Google, the less you like them.
Apparently, the feeling is mutual, since once they've accumulated the exploitable data, they could give a shit about being useful to anyone. It's like all media that is funded by advertising - the user is the product, and whatever attracts us like moths to the light will be used to manipulate their asset. We are treated like human traffic by the evil pimps who eat us up and spit us out like a spent piece of used jet trash.
Anyway, Picasa has been loosing support for over a year. The writing was on the wall, I suppose. They just want to shake loose all of the storage now that they have accumulated all of the photographic data that was required to put names onto faces for their facial recognition profiling.
Google sure as hell is up to no good most of the time that they give a service away to anyone ever. - They are doing everything in their power to profile every living soul on the planet web.
What is in question is probably the part that the NSA isn't giving perks for promoting easily accessible cloud storage anymore so why bother with the app?
Physicists and philosophers have not been any more successful, really
"most scientists assume this mechanism is distributed throughout the brain, with different regions using different monitors to keep track of time according to their needs"
Or maybe this mechanism is distributed throughout everything, all at once, and keeping track of time is just a perceived phenomenological need....or whatever that means.... string cheese, anyone?
This is a great recording that is seared onto my brain from the late 70's and early 80's and I still don't know who made the darned thing. I heard it the same day I first listened to Dire Straits, "The Sultan of Swing" and Leo Kotke's "If Shrimps Could Whistle" back in 1979 or so...give or take a year.
It was an interesting album cover back in the days of vinyl records for $2.97 at the Record Cove. The first thing I went looking for on "the internet" was this baby and it finally surfaced about ten years ago but would vanish again. "A Child's Garden of Grass: A Pre-Legalization Comedy" was not only prophetic, its an early example of audio (video) "mashups" now created on you tube. Truly creative multimedia like this is funny, on the radio or the tube. For those of us in a Ford over looking a pacific sunset on "top of the world" it was the perfect way to spend time with friends. Especially if you are in high school, or just high, or have sophomoric humor, or are just a little bit too stoned to go home to the parental units. Having departed an era of "Refer Madness" and "War on Drugs" military-industrial complex propaganda, its good to see some classic media that expresses the fond experience many Americans enjoyed with pot and our culture. We can be a culture of tolerance, if stoners, (or good natured folk with great stereos and the munchies) are a little goofy on grass. Thanks for the reminder of common culture, nearly forgotten under a pile of new media, friend. This was a masterpiece in its day, in my view. We're older, but we're not dead yet!

Let's just change the definition of 'loose' in the dictionary once and for all so I can stop letting this illiteracy bother me
I sorry GrammarMa.
It was nut a Miss Pelling.
I Au jus Cun't tipe. ;-0
The revenge against some imperialistic lunatics in Russia for wanting to side-load Estonia?
LOL.... That too!
I was thinking more like, "Putin won't care if we rob the west with malware so long as it never steals a ruble from the motherland."
It was more of a "don't poke the sleeping giant" sort of logic.
...Clever Estonians
I've lived in England for 45 years and I don't know anyone that refers to Concrete as "cement".
.... or "concrete" galoshes.
Come on, at least make it a link Give Google's Product Manager Your Feedback on Shutting Down PICASA.
Thanks for the link.

"Do you want fries with that?"
Suddenly global warming is the least of their problems....
Sub-atomic is the future of getting small. Ironically, its the next big thing.
They just need to write code that will counter sue lawyers for being greedy little flaccid trolls.

Good point.
VP of Storage at Barracuda gives the usual business doublespeak excuse.
That's just like a good clone.
I Remember the Frank Zappa Nobody for President campaign....
So it would be a silly idea to change my name to KissMyAss....
Seriously, this is cool - but the Trump name drop is as bad as apple-baiting.
Right. Its also roughly the size of the Empire State Building, only its not campaigning.

He then losses his sanctuary
The correct mis-spelling is "looses".
Perhaps its just a typo. Perhaps we'd rather read the mistake than have to read that people cunt spell.
Or perhaps speeding ticket proof...
Champ is the correct word, people just don't know what it means anymore so they use chomp instead.
I did not know that....
Now I feel like a chump.
.....Chimping on the nut? Cramping on the rag? Clamping on the bait?
Cringing at the thought.
Amen, Brother!

..... We are officially in a worse period of music than disco.
Bowie played official disco, periodically, and unofficially, period.
The FTC's job is to protect the consumer, not be on the corporate kickback payroll.
FTC fines are a perverse incentive that creates predictable costs to the profitable bottom line of the bottom feeders in a corporate plutocracy.
Its like Oracle's performance in the America Cup: unethical, admonished, but ultimately victorious.
One way or another, hacker's exploits and malware share attack vectors.
Perhaps they're infectious...
One small step for those who like to get small....
If it were a good idea, they would patent it.
That doesn't mean they actually have any of it to sell you.
They do offer some of the best fake protection that you can download from torrent sites hosted in Somalia.
