Since US sites aren't allowed to offer accounts to kids under the age of 13, we're teaching an entire generation of kids that it's OK to lie in order to get what you want.
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

Dallas residents might be surprised to learn there were hundreds of natural gas leaks — many of them previously unknown — under their feet. When the Google mapping cars returned, we pat them on the hood and gave them a treat.

If you cast your minds back to the summer of 2012 then you’ll vaguely remember something about LinkedIn being hacked. Data was stolen and there were plenty of red faces in the social networks office, I’m sure. "OK. Let's make it ... abc12 ... 4. Nailed it."

China’s government fabricates about 488 million social media comments a year -- nearly the same as one day of Twitter’s total global volume -- in a massive effort to distract its citizens from bad news and sensitive political debates, according to a study. This is fine. Everything is fine. #ChineseGovernment #NoComplaints

Alphabet Inc's Google appealed on Thursday an order from the French data protection authority to remove certain web search results globally in response to a European privacy ruling, escalating a fight on the extra-territorial reach of EU law. "One nation does not make laws for another," said Dave Price, senior product counsel, Google.

The real reason why France wants a right to be forgotten law is because they want to find a way to bury the memory of: Blenheim, Oudenarde, Ramillies, Malplaquet, Rossbach, Vellingshausen, Minden, Leipzig, Waterloo, Sedan (1870), Chemain des Dames, Somme, Sedan (1940), and Dien Bien Phu.

Google just got a patent for a special kind of coating on self-driving cars that could help prevent pedestrian injuries. I am having terrible, Grand-Theft-Auto-type visions in my head.

They're not bugs, they're features.

That is so right!
Google cars decorated with insects!
PS. Why do Google cars need windshields? They need have no glass/transparent surfaces since the cameras can be mounted outside and feed their on-board computers.

By the end of this year Chrome will begin ignoring Flash as Google takes another step towards removing the “final Plugin” by replacing Flash with HTML5. Adios, Cowboy.

Early sentiment about Allo is overwhelmingly positive: It looks beautiful, lets you doodle on images before you send them, comes with stickers as well as emojis, and it’s the first Google product to offer end-to-end encryption, which is certainly a good thing. But if you care at all about your privacy, you should not use Google Allo. Maybe I want to show the world my sexting game -- it's on point.

Disk image files in ISO format have mostly replaced old-fashioned shiny disks. Windows 10 includes the ability to mount any ISO file as a virtual DVD. To unmount the file, you need to use a slightly illogical command. A tip for users of all levels

How is right-click, Eject "slightly illogical"? You do the same thing for a real DVD, and for USB keys, so it seems like the most logical option to me.
It's not even as illogical as the old joke about having to click "Start" to shut down.

Our users have often told us that they would like to do even more with their Chromebooks -- run more apps, use Office files more easily, connect with a variety of apps, and do more when they’re offline. So we're bringing Google Play to Chromebooks. (the newer ones, at least. maybe you should buy a new one *wink wink*)

One of the things you may not realize is that Uber can tell when your phone battery is about to die. In an episode of NPR’s The Hidden Brain, Uber’s head of economic research Keith Chen says when you hit accept to download, you give Uber the permission to know this in order to tell when to switch to low-power mode. Alcohol declined to comment.

The new store, which opens this Saturday, includes 42-foot sliding glass doors that double as two-story windows, a 6K video screen on the second floor, and living trees lining its new customer support section. Bigger, shinier, and more pretentious.
