If you read the posts about it, apparently he wants money to put his kids through college. Maybe he missed the part about how Steve Jobs didn't finish college?

I already see sponsored results show up on my iPhone's Maps app, so I'm pretty sure you're gonna get those regardless of if you pay or not.

reddit / hacker news exist.

In fact, it's cold as hell.

I think the issue with that is, it is only unfriends going forward, not historical like the timeline (did) show.

You're correct, I looked the first day it was there and saw "added 50 something friends", looked and several had "add to friends" boxes, so I knew they'd unfriended me or whatever. They are no longer there.

Apparently some in the blind community have issues with rapid release, but accessibility is for the weak, right?

Eh? Google+ features checkin on the mobile G+ app (it's the checkmark in a circle in the top, see the screenshot for "stream") and their latitude platform.

Some people post stupid questions out loud on Twitter. They expect one of their friends to help them use google, so companies are more and more joining twitter to do that. Plus, some people honestly believe that the only way to get support is via Twitter because they read an article in their newspaper (the paper one, they don't understand the internet) about Frank Elison from Comcast. Example tweets from the link prakslash posted show people asking what time their local BofA branch is open, and someone from BofA responding telling them how to use the bank locator which happens to also tell people hours (something revolutionary that companies like Burger King and McDonalds have yet to grasp, hours on a website, amazing).

Thanks to Apache and the miracle of Virtual Servers, one can use one IPv4 address to host thousands of domains! This depends on HTTP1.1, though, and old browsers can't handle it, but nobody cares about them.

In conclusion, your argument is invalid.

Not really, there's no mention of AT&T anywhere in the businessweek article, nor the word wireless nor mobile. There's no information about when the contract changed. There's a reason this has the noarticle tag.

I was reading the Wall Street Journal (free subscription, not paying for that crap) and apparently the CEO of JC Penney has to use a Segway because his walking ability is limited. I hope people don't shout at him when he uses it, but unfortunately people are cruel and I bet they do.
