That's not an app, that's a website and looking at YouTube right now..
If I open it in Opera or Safari or IE, I get HTML 5, not in the mobile app. I have an IOS and an Android device and the current apps I have don't support HTML5, yet.
attribution? I also don't think anybody at MSFT actually said that to Google did they?
Kelly Johnson's team at Lockheed were great and putting things together quickly. They were given wide latitude by Lockheed management and were rarely questioned as to what men and material they needed to get something done. The results were some of the most remarkable aircraft ever produced during the cold war. The U2, The A-12 (SR-71) and the F-104. His career in aviation was legendary and he designed a lot of aircraft or had a hand in almost every key Lockheed design.
Google has admitted in court that they don't think users have an expectation of privacy.
That's being blown out of proportion because Google's lawyers are echoing the Supreme Court ruling regarding your turning over information to any third party means that you have no reasonable expectation of privacy.
“a person has no legitimate expectation of privacy in information he voluntarily turns over to third parties.” Smith v. Maryland, 442 U.S. 735, 743-44 (1979). In particular, the Court noted that persons communicating through a service provided by an intermediary (in the Smith case, a telephone call routed through a telephone company) must necessarily expect that the communication will be subject to the intermediary’s systems. For example, the Court explained that in using the telephone, a person “voluntarily convey[s] numerical information to the telephone company and ‘expose[s]’ that information to its equipment in the ordinary course of business.”
Still, with Google's complicity and other US firms having to help the NSA and FBI with warrant-less searches of data, the bigger issue is that our best and brightest in terms of Technology and revenue will take a big hit as more and more people around the world push away from their services. So while complying with the law, these companies have hurt their own businesses. This includes all of the Telecom companies as well providing broadband services. This will open the door for other firms from competitors overseas to step on in at our expense. So while trying to defeat terrorism, the US has hurt the prestige of its high tech firms and further eroded our faith that our government.
I for one will encourage everybody I know to vote out every SOB in congress that has been there longer than 4 years because it was those assholes who opened the door for all of this spying on our citizens and violating our 4th amendment rights.
Oh yeah, I can hear Google arguing that they're being "innovative" and delivering "consumer value" by building their own walled garden. With all of the recent press around Google frankly I'm getting less and less enamoured by their free service offerings and will probably start looking for alternatives where I don't have to use Google. Microsoft with Windows 8.1 is now becoming more Google and IOS like with all of their Microsoft Account tie-ins so they can start mining the shit out of your data as well, like IOS does. Pretty soon you won't be able to have a smart phone or use the Internet without these money grubbing assholes mining you for something, forget the NSA, that's minor to what these pricks have in mind.
If Google's conditions were HTML 5 then yes, Microsoft would have a problem there but they do make a good point that Google hasn't released an HTML 5 compliant version for Android or IOS for YouTube, so this becomes much more interesting rather than arrogant. Google is playing cat and mouse with Microsoft and teetering on the brink of an anti-trust lawsuit.
I don't see is Microsoft saying that to Google. Google doesn't want Google's services running on Windows Phone unless they can completely control the circumstances of how they're delivered. Google has said that it has no interest in building apps for Windows Phone and prohibiting somebody else from doing it is anti-competitive since MSFT has done everything they've been asked to do by Google, with the exception of HTML 5. They've pointed out that the Android Youtube app and the IOS Youtube app don't comply with HTML 5. When companies start putting up these barriers to prevent competition, this it becomes anti-competitive behavior and it winds up in litigation at some point. If Microsoft's side of the story is accurate, then Google may be in for some legal hassles down the road.
I've walked out on places in my career without notice because the places sucked ass, it never hurt me or my network of references.
I've also given notice to organizations (sometimes as much as 8 weeks) where I was moving to a better opportunity but I still had respect for my coworkers and the opportunities I had while working there. It's common courtesy.
Then there's the other places, two of them, where it was easier to drop my badge on a desk and walk out because they'd would have had Security walk me out anyway. Of all the retarded policies companies have about employees, that one is the rudest, most offensive that a company can take. If a guy says I quit, walking him/her out just makes your whole organization look like a bunch of douche bags.
Really so what you're saying is that if Google builds the apps and distributes them, that's Okay but if Microsoft or any third party ISV builds an app using their public APIs and then distributes that is a blood-soaked hitchhiker?
Since Microsoft has been through the Anti-Trust wringer before, you can bet that this little problem will get all the attention they can dig out of it, in the press and with the DOJ lawyers and the FTC. If Google publishes an API and says "use it, it's open" and then somebody picks up that mantle and builds something using it only to have Google shut it down for fictitious reasons, then at that point you have to call bullshit on the whole openness agenda and "do no evil." When Apple pulled Google Maps out of IOS, Google cried foul because Apple has to approve all apps on their platform and yes, Apple's customers cried foul as well because the Apple Maps app sucked but it seems that Apple, Google and Microsoft are all in this little arms race of what they call "open" APIs and services but when somebody implements an API using them that happens to be another 800 lb gorilla you bet the games will start. Eventually if they don't play nice, it'll wind up in court with a long drawn out legal proceeding and while Google has dodged a few bullets of late, they won't dodge a bullet if MSFT comes back with documentation that Google is playing tricks to maintain a competitive advantage. After all, Google announced that they wouldn't be building apps for Windows Phone.

Any good Cloud Providers or EMail hosts in Germany? I'm moving my data overseas.
Well I've watched episodes where he looks like he's on meth and strung out rocking back and forth as he rants. If you watch his interactions while being interviewed with other financial analysts and commentators they all kind of stare at him in disbelief too. You get the impression that they don't want to even be in the same room with him because of his antics. This one is another classic because he really doesn't say anything in 25 minutes of vid. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cxHegCocur0
I feel sorry for Stacy Herbert, his straight man so to speak, in that vid she looks like an unmade bed and she feeds him these lines where he can jump up and down like a monkey.. "KK Ho"
and TMZ or Huffington Post are the pillars of news organizations?
Anybody who's watched RT knows it's about getting the Russian point of view out there and the associated propaganda. However there are quite a few shows they put on about the culture of Russia that are great. Now, get back to the news and it's hilarious to watch programs like the "Keiser Report" with that crack smoker Max Keiser. In essence they give him a form to rock back and forth in an uncontrollable rant against Western Capitalists. Watch this guy and then ask yourself "What is he on?" If Putin thinks that will sway public opinion to the Russian point of view, he's mistaken. Every time I travel to Europe I seek out their Cable Channel, it's great watching just don't take it too seriously.
