Comment this breaks copy and paste of rich text in gmail (Score 1) 195

Because the image URLs are rewritten to the Google proxy server, you can no longer copy and paste rich text with embedded images from Gmail into another application. That really sucks. I need to do that all the time for a certain client. It looks like I'm now going to have to get a separate webmail service just to be able to copy and paste rich text. Ridiculous.

Comment Re:Product vs. Customer (Score 1) 176

The persistent "top stories" garbage is basically the reason I deactivated my Facebook account and haven't been back in a year. I couldn't handle the "random chaos feed" taking back over randomly. It was so frustrating to be going down the feed and then realizing that it's all out of order and you've already read parts of it. Seriously, WTF. I hope they don't screw up Instagram like that.

"Hi, My name is The bring the Anderson and I was interested in ordering. I'll call. Sarah, Mrs. Kate, on the Hudson birthday. He really liked all here in the for you. So, anyway, I would see it for next Sunday. I'm not sure where they said of. It's Hey Lady, Thank tonight anyway. If you can just give me a back. My phone number is 972."

Good to know about the "helpful? / donate" feature (from a comment above), which I did for this one...

Beginning in the fall students who don't get a C or higher will get an F on their report card.

Economists can certainly disappoint you. One said that the economy would turn up by the last quarter. Well, I'm down to mine and it hasn't. -- Robert Orben
