Are you a paying client or something?

Per http://support.google.com/picasa/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=1224181&topic=1689654&ctx=topic

"Picasa Web Albums offers 1 GB of free storage for photos and videos"

"Photos up to 800 x 800 pixels and videos up to 15 minutes won't count towards your free storage."

So maybe videos are fine but it looks like Picasa Web Albums is pretty much worthless for Photo storage.

Btw I haven't used it yet, but when I signed up for Live Drive they gave me 25GB free. I personally think 5B is a joke for company like Google. I was expecting something like 50GB per user Free and then plans for 100GB and up.

Comment: Three Hands (Score 1, Interesting) 279

On the one hand I think parents should police what their kids are doing. But is it required for them to play every game themselves and make sure it isn't one can easily charge you money? Answer that for yourself but don't be too knee-jerk about how nobody wants to take responsibility for themselves anymore.

On the other hand I hate these "bait"/"Freeium" apps that have taken over. They are a blight on the gaming world imho. Some people like getting something for free. I'd rather pay a little and know thats the final amount and get a finished game. The whole sell a partial game/buy DLC to finish it is crap.

On the other other hand I have little sympathy for Apple as they are absurdly lawsuit happy, plus they love to step on the little guy which I've never been a fan of.

Snow Leopard will go down in history as the last great Apple OS. Everything after it is complete crap from a design standpoint. They are absolutely ruining what imho was the best designed OS from a GUI standpoint. What they are doing is just as bad as Microsoft's shitty metro UI for Windows 8. I guess I'm running Snow Leopard until my computer dies. Then I don't know what I'll do. I suppose Windows 7 on a "ultrabook". At least that will be supported for many years to come.

DOS was an OS nobody could love from a UI standpoint. Now we are diving into the deep end going the other way and making everything as close to an iPad as possible. I suppose 10 years from now when the dust settles we will be fine and all wonder what the fuss was about, but this changeover absolutely sucks ass.

Hope they go tits up and close every single Best Buy store out there. That way maybe, we can start seeing some competition out there again. Best Buy set the standard for poor customer service and bred a culture of ignoring the customer and giving false information in order to lead the customer into buying things like $100 hdmi cables and extended services contracts. They may not have been the first company to do all of this but they certainly perfected it and made shopping for computers and electronics a fucking horror show. My wife and father in law still won't step foot in a best buy with me after the experiences they have had there. So again let me call out. Burn motherfucker Burn.

There's no reason to believe that. In fact all public evidence on Jobs thought process for Charitable giving say otherwise.

Jobs was a vicious, mean bastard, who treated pretty much everyone in his life like crap. He just happened to make great tech products. Btw I happen to own several of these products. Although now that I know as much as I do about him I guess I have to think about what that means.

There was some speculation that before he died he might have been giving anonymously. I call bullshit until proven otherwise. Based on how he treated his fellow human beings throughout his ENTIRE life AND how he treated his own children/family I have every reason to think he didn't give any of his $8Billion to charity.

And if that's the case I hope he's in his own special hell. You don't get to amass that much wealth, not give back and help when you really could have, and then get rewarded on the other side. That just can't be how it works, at least I hope not...

Apple's the only one allowed to use Aluminum in their designs?

Btw they'll probably keep the cost down by using netbook cpu/gpus. So yea you can have a 27" iMac that does 2560x1440 with a quad core i5 for $1700 or a 27" tv set running at 1920x1080 with a net book stuck to the back for probably $800. Different strokes and all that...

Being frustrated is disagreeable, but the real disasters in life begin when you get what you want.
