Google pet peeve: they don’t like grandparents….
I have to send holiday cards to them every year or they get very temperamental .. i like to keep my phone updated instead of asking my parents during every holiday for addresses.

"Everyone deserves a little love on their birthday,” Google’s Irene Chung said in an online message announcing the new feature. “Starting today, you’ll see a reminder on Google.com when someone in your circles has a birthday."

total b*llsh*t! 

Pardon my language, but why should i want total stangers to say happy birthday to me? That is the most fake and disturbing feeling to get a message from people i don’t know or care about.

Google doesn’t understand their users.

chrome beta boo-boo

i just notice this one distinctive difference of needs that the chrome team and the android browser team did not talk about. The weather or the cool creative search function on the default browser. yes i know there are “weather apps” but i am a person that hates apps, especially apps that are poorly designed and NOT multi-cross functional.

the weather feature should be in that bucket as telling the time. before technology was around what were two most commonly ask questions between strangers?

- What do you think the weather will be like for the rest of the day?

- Do you happen to know the time today?

below image is the Chrome Beta GUI: <search weather>

Below image is the Android Browser GUI: <search weather>

The wonderful world of Google. Same company, different teams. That is my slogan for them. ;P you would think they communicate with each other, but they are humans just like the rest of us.
