You know you’re old…
…when you remember loading software from cassette.

Sorry this it o/t guys, but I couldn’t help sharing to a few kindred spirits.

    Hangouts questions...

When using Hangouts on mobile, and I later see the chat in my browser pop-up, the images in the mobile hangout are not visible in the browser – just links to them are there instead.  Is it possible to show images?

Also, is there an Hangouts community that isn’t a pick-up joint? 🙂

Thanks.

…which is convincing enough for me to rule out another Samsung phone as my next choice. I expect I’ll go Nexus or Moto.

    Internet under attack.  Again.

As if BT’s attempt to patent the hyperlink[1] wasn’t bad enough, now we have movements in the shadows to prevent linking at all.  This goes against the quintessential fabric of the internet itself, and is stupid.

If your average copyright holder is truly so upset that part of their content gets copied into a search result snippet, why don’t they just stick it all behind a paywall and be done with it.
