Seriously, I don't want a buttom. Why would I want a buttom that does what the same place does when you click it, just without a buttom?

I've been using The Old Reader. It's not that bad, it's way better than when I tried it a few months ago. Good at home, good at work and hope it will improve at mobile. I will probably stop using google chat because of this change, and will only receive my e-mails via mobile client/Outlook. Just hope Google don't delete all my feeds for Google Alerts.

Microsoft didn't make all those changes so they can let the consumer come out with fixes and ideas that would cost time and money for them to develop.

I noticed it too. But I hope this mild approach will push the sharing software further in accommodate our privacy, since we can't take it for granted anymore. On another stance, hopefully, people will continue to share, and the moral grounds in wich each one takes "piracy" into their personal access of copyright material will be based on economically and intellectual grounds rather than by a black or white of legal or illegal stance.

The question should be how can you be social in privacy and transparency. The best social experience is when you can control and see clearly your information path. For what I've understand the dash will send your query to canonical, even if you're searching your personal information trying to reach your personal data in your personal computer.
