Well that was the first new Hangouts fail. Got notification on my mobile, not on my N7 that was what I had with me.
Play Store says i have hangouts  installed on my N7 but what i have there is the old Talk... no it was not substituted when i downloaded it to my mobile...
Going to uninstall from both Mobile (hangouts version) and from the N7 (Talk version) and download it from scratch.

"When I say there is no god, it means that the foundation for a huge number of arguments that currently poison public policy evaporate. God created woman to be a helpmeet to man and to serve him as man serves God? Nope. We’re going to have to actually look at the evidence and determine from observations whether women are inferior (answer so far: no.) Black people were marked with that color as a curse from God and have servile natures? Nope. No god, no curse, no way to claim independent peoples are destined to be master or slave. Two men having sex together is an abomination unto the Lord, and the only fit response by a moral culture is to kill them, or at least abuse them? Nope. Your objective moral standard is a fiction, and perhaps a truly moral culture is one that gives all of its citizens equal respect."

+Google  +Google Chrome spell checker team!!!
Could you pls stop trying to correct my Portuguese to Spanish (or even some of my English to Spanish for that matter)!... Since the last update you guys did to it (and it was the second time you guys tried to implement this one btw). It has huge problems with Portuguese... and even English.
If I do not have Spanish has language option settings on the Spell checker, I would be easy to understand I'm not trying to write in Spanish. And it's sad it does not recognize some basic English words when I have English selected (but that exists if i do Define: ... on google).

Fix it... it's making me totally dyslexic.

PS: Before the last update it was working (mainly) fine.

So... You're going to fight the gov of oblivious morons in their Ivory towers that created this situation?
Where is a market/demand there will be some sort of supply... Double so under this recession.
I would've thought the Dutch above all else would get that basic rule... especially when we're talking about a right wing "pro capitalist/finance & free enterprise" party. Or does that only work for banks (where most of you worked before and will work after this gov stint finishes?).

Ok first impressions of the new G+ interface. Like it.
It's smooth (although slower on the notifications, I get it first on the old interface, then email and only then it shows up on the new, but hey first day). 
Would still prefer that the stream would update without me clicking on it. And the posts a tad bigger, 2 or 3 lines of text and I have already to click expand, and sometimes just for another line or word.
For posts of articles the same. Before when posting a link for an article I would get the title and the first lines, now just the title shows up,... which in my case will sooner or later imply a good amount of unnecessary copy/paste.
But over all for first impressions... well done +Google+ (not having a hissy fit here so...good) 
Let me play more with it and let you guys know more.

Please note that you can equally support both the system of democracy and the block function on G+. If I wouldn't stand and listen to you in real life, I don't have to online either.
I believe in freedom of speech, but I also believe in my right to ignore you, especially if you're a twit.
Just because you have internet access does not mean I have to waste my time listening to you, or arguing with you.

Bulldozers destroy 2,300 year old Mayan pyramid in Belize

Taken from the description of the Youtube Video:

Bulldozers and backhoes have essentially destroyed one of Belize's largest Mayan pyramids, which survived millennia of storms, rain and wind only to succumb to a construction company seeking gravel for road fill.

The head of the Belize Institute of Archaeology says the destruction was detected late last week, and only a small portion of the center of the pyramid mound was left standing, according to the Associated Press. 7Newsbelize.com, the website for TV channel 7 in the small Caribbean country, accompanied a handful of archaeologists to the site recent.

They described the destruction as "intolerable."

"This is one of the worst that I have seen in my entire 25 years of archaeology in Belize," John Morris, an... more »

Well duh! 
For all intents and purposes (street level in many countries) the E.U. right now is a talking (bs) putrid corpse.
Right now from the south to the north there's a growing majority that are wanting out.
Due to (you know who) stubbornness, now is not as much a question of saving or not the Euro but the E.U itself.

In my opinion, I'm so fed up with it. That when I read this article my first thought was "good riddence". And I was a defender and hopeful the EEC would transmorph into something worthwhile...not anymore.
  
"In just the last 12 months, support for the European Union has plummeted on the Continent. Furthermore, many have lost faith in their elected representatives. Only in Germany do people still view the EU favorably, and the split with the rest of Europe is widening."

Recent Months? how about years?

"Southern Europeans have grown impatient with Germany's self-imposed role as Europe's iron fist in recent months, but their criticism seems to have left the majority of Germans unfazed. A new study reveals the growing rift in public opinion on the state of the European Union."

"... Cumberbatch has become such hot property that he is almost literally in everything at the moment. He sports a bleach blonde look as Wikileaks founder Julian Assange in a movie called The Fifth Estate, studied lizards at London Zoo to provide the voice and CGI moves for the dragon Smaug, as well as the Necromancer, in The Hobbit, recently finished working with Michael Fassbender in Twelve Years a Slave, and has agreed to step into Leonardo DiCaprio’s shoes for the Imitation Game, a film about the brilliant british mathematician Alan Turing. ..."

Yes It's so much easier to cancel and ban a show then god forbid introspect a little.
 "They" get very "stressed" and really don't like it when forced to remember what they did!
Prefer the usual not talk about it & feeling of denial that had nothing to do with them or their parents & grandparents solution. (& then surprise when 70 years later neo Nazis are killing auslanders in the streets)

Kudos for this guys for trying to put up the show though, it shows the country is not totally lost.

Sounds about right!

Announce 10 bad measures so to pass one, that usually has even worse implications but by comparison sounds just slightly better or reasonable.

& This is so much the Portuguese Government & the European institutions right now with measures and counters measures & rumors being announced everyday, (some of them as fait accompli) repudiated one minute confirmed the second denied again, and non denied nor confirmed the next. Aka counter info techniques... and it works. The peeps are swallowing it, hook line and sinker.

"My partner Jim (left) and I (Lon) shared 34 Years together!! The past 6 years he has suffered from Alzheimer's Disease. He was hospitalized last year. His estranged sister filed for guardianship of him and won. We gave each other Power of Attorney, which she never revealed in court as I was never mentioned nor considered nor notified. 

She put him in a Nursing Home and had criminal trespass orders against me to keep me away from him. I'LL NEVER BE ABLE TO SEE HIM AGAIN! She got his bank account from Social Security Disability and sold his house out from under me. I had 2 weeks to vacate our home of 12 years.
