Notifications that sync across devices, and a new Android app

Starting today, Google+ notifications are much easier to use across mobile and desktop. In particular:

- When you read a notification on one device, we'll mark it as read on your other devices
- Likewise: dismissing a notification (with a swipe or a click) does so everywhere, so you can say goodbye to annoying repeats

We've also updated the look and feel of Google+ notifications, including:

- A new bell icon (in the Google Bar, and in the mobile apps) that lets you know if anything's waiting for you
- An updated notifications tray that separates unread from previously-read items

We're rolling out these notifications improvements gradually — first on Android and the web, then on iOS. In the meantime, we're also releasing a new Android app thati... more »

Great beer from Anchor Brewing in SF – California Lager. Smooth, all-malt and a little hoppy.

My biggest fear is that we live in a world where light-speed transmission of information just doesn't scale without this kind of oversight if we are unwilling to accept catastrophic loss.

(That is, it is both our freedom and our destruction).

I expect a swarm of Android consoles over the next few years. It's going to be pretty hard for traditional consoles to keep up once this gets rolling. Android devices two years from now will likely be as powerful as the consoles Sony/MS are about to launch and will cost a fraction of the price and have pretty huge game libraries due to mobile.

From +David Drummond, Chief Legal Officer: We cannot say this more clearly—the government does not have access to Google servers—not directly, or via a back door, or a so-called drop box. Nor have we received blanket orders of the kind being discussed in the media. It is quite wrong to insinuate otherwise. We provide user data to governments only in accordance with the law. Our legal team reviews each and every request, and frequently pushes back when requests are overly broad or don’t follow the correct process. And we have taken the lead in being as transparent as possible about government requests for user information.

Reisse co-founded Oculus VR in Irvine, a company known for its virtual reality headsets for immersive gaming.

"Andrew was a brilliant computer graphics engineer, an avid photographer and hiker who loved nature, a true loyal friend, and a founding member of our close-knit Oculus family," the company said in a statement.

Well, #sharkshockey  finally has come to an end for the season. But fear not, I lived in North-Eastern Ohio for 18 years and Pittsburgh for 5 years. #GoPens  

Hoping for a Kings / Penguins playoff so I can fly to LA and watch the Pens destroy them. :)

Grab it on Xbox 360 or Steam.

Incredible mission statement with incredible follow-through --

"MJ will be my new name. No more Michael Jackson. I want a whole new character, a whole new look. I should be a totally different person. People should never think of me as the kid who sang "ABC," or "I Want You Back." I should be a new, incredible actor/singer/dancer that will shock the world. I will do no interviews. I will be magic. I will be a perfectionist, a researcher, a trainer, a masterer. I will be better than every great actor roped into one."

Sad day for me. Adobe has announced that the product that I learned design on/with is being deprecated (killed). RIP Fireworks.

Why am I sad?
(and just so we are clear, I am not upset about moving to subscription only model)

Fireworks is a piece of software that Adobe inherited when they bought Macromedia (remember that company?) and they never really did much with it. It has been buggy, sluggish, and feature lacking for a long time.

So why do you use it?
Good question. The answer is that Fireworks is the only product that Adobe makes whose sole purpose is screen design. If the design you were working on would be rendered on a screen, Fireworks worked great.

Unlike Photoshop with it's backwards support for vectors and illustrator with is crappy support for bitmaps, Fireworks combined both seamlessly so that they could live together in harmony on the... more »
