Geofences are cool

Tim Stone

I'm with @fredley on this one, Eclipse can burn in a fire. :P

geofencing sounds neat

Not sure what you'd do with 100 of those

Activity Recognition is also cool

Geofences in Tasker is going to rock my world

4:17 PM

@badp If you wrote an app for your store you could have geofences around each store

Tim Stone

That one guy was so ashamed to be using a MacBook at a Google conference he had to hide his head behind the screen.

@fredley Yeah, that'll make things way more awesom

Fancy looks a lot like Kickstarter

That SSO thing could be awesome for us actually

ugh, they're automated the "THIS SITE HAS AN APP TOO" screen

@BenBrocka will be glad

@badp who has?

4:19 PM

Okay, that's neat

@BenBrocka Google.

@SaintWacko Yeah, really neat

Oh, google? No way

cross platform single sign on is fucking awesome

Lame. But if it's like iOS the solution is better than a doorslam at least

4:19 PM

When you sign in with Google+ on a website it asks you if you want to install the app on your devices and logs you in in the process both on the website and the android app.

So moving people to banners instead of doorslams is good in a way...just wish people wouldn't do it at all

Ok GCM is awesome

OMG NOTIFICATIONS OMG OMG

I would love to go to I/O sometime

murgatroid99

gaming APIs!

exactly as leaked

4:22 PM

Cloud save yes yes yes

yay, cloud save!

yes yes yes yes yes

yes yes yes yes yes yes yes

No more needing to back up things when I flash a new rom!

I love Google

Praise benevolent Google

Google+ circle-based leaderboards, lol.

4:24 PM

Wow cross platform

that's big

@fredley Gotta make people use Google+

@badp People already use it

Just not actively

This is essentially another passive use

@murgatroid99 this is what I was waiting for

murgatroid99

@BenBrocka I had no idea what was coming watching this video. I just started watching because it was linked here

awkward silence

4:26 PM

tense

oooooh

demo fail

lol

Aaaw

...kward

@fredley What happened? I was in the bathroom

@SaintWacko Tried to demo multiplayer gaming

it failed hard

@fredley ouch

HOMETIME BYE

@kalina BYE

4:28 PM

2 minutes early but THIS IS NOT THE FACE OF A PERSON WHO CARES

BYE

DON'T MISS ME OR ANYTHING

@kalina But who will burn things now?

YEEEEEEAH DEATH TO ECLIPSE

BURN BURN BURN

kalina

sets fire to @SaintWacko

BUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUURN

IntelliJ means Windows only right?

4:29 PM

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

@fredley grumble grumble grumble

*Dances around Eclipse fire*

@badp No. IntelliJ has always worked on *nix.

'k. I thought it was one of those proprietary things in Visual Studio

Alright, I'm headed out for lunch with my girlfriend

Let me know what I miss

4:30 PM

@SaintWacko Later

@fredley What'd I miss?

@BenBrocka IntelliJ editor

Big claps

@badp drool

Oh, yeah I prefer intelliJ for android stuff already

4:32 PM

prompter fail

@badp nice

ouch

@BenBrocka does the same with different localization

Kickass. The UI tools always needed work

Also a "new app translation service"

"Avg price per translation $96"

NOOOOOOOOOOOOO NOT STAGED ROLLOUTS

staged rollouts are really the worst

the worst

oh god that is terrible.

Google Play update roulette.

4:40 PM

@badp They're a necessary evil :(

@NightExcessive THE WORST.

"Oh hey you're getting new features! In stages."

@badp cool

"Maybe you'll get them today. Maybe you'll get them in four or so months."

(see: Twitter)

Staged rollouts are important for practical reasons

especially when there are complications or if a feature depends on a large number of people already having feature X

@BenBrocka so you're just going to give X to 5% of your users randomly?

that's totally going to make X not suck.

4:43 PM

@badp That's not the point of a staged rollout.

I finally got around to mailing the mail in rebate for my monitors

Also, Hulu, why do you think I want to watch mascara ads?

Q: Computer Level 2 Bug Question

I tried it several times now, loading and performing a lvl 2 bug to increase my lp production. In the Wiki i read that the cap rate is at 10k lp/s but my rate won't reach more than 143 lp/s. I even had 2 lvl 2 bugs in a row but it didnt change anything. Am I doing something wrong or is it just pu...

Q: What is the the Battle for Freljord secondary quest?

I just seen this in a game of ARAM I have a secondary objective, but have no idea how to complete it and what it would give me to complete it. There was an ashe on my side and a Sejuani on the other, so I think it might be related to the storyline of Howling Abyss, but still, how do I complet...

Now they're talking devices

"This is not a device giveaway but..." "awwwwwwwww."

Galaxy S 4 is the next Nexus phone (without Samsung "improvements") for $649.

so yeah, no new other Nexus'es I suppose.

4:58 PM

Huh. I assume they'll keep up the "cheap, google only" thing with the normal nexus line though. The sub-$500 price point is a big part of the Nexus 4/7

Probably just a special deal to get the best of samsung (the hardware) without the worst of samsung (software)

WebGL on Android is pretty neat.

KITTEN EYE LAZER EXPLOHSIONS

@badp In WebP!

@NightExcessive The point was that WebP supports animations ("Sorry")

of course the photo doesn't capture that.

@badp I know :)

5:10 PM

I'd be though surprised if the animated WebP was smaller than the equivalent animated GIF, given that animated GIFs are 256 colors.

"yay" checkout information sync

@badp They can be, depending on the settings that the author saved the WebP with.

Google's take on Bootstrap?

Oh, nope.

EVERYONE STOP TALKING ABOUT @WIPQOZN

Everyone knows that webp is badp.

Also, @Wipqozn

5:14 PM

@NightExcessive It appears so.

@OrigamiRobot I'm so popular.

@Wipqozn Well you're just so damn enchanting.

It's true.

Sharepoint hates .NET WebMethods.

I now have to convince it to like them.

lol, attendees get a Chromebook Pixel instead of phones.

They're going to be so happy :P

(Well technically it's a better value)

5:20 PM

@badp If Google I/O prices are anything like what they were the last time that I checked, they paid a pretty penny for that Pixel. :P

@NightExcessive How much are we talking about?

@badp Last time I checked, tickets to I/O were ~$2,000. That was the first I/O in 2008, though.

@fbueckert Say please.

@NightExcessive I suppose most of these people are subsidized by their employers anyway. (Does that make the Pixels their companies'?)

@badp Oh, nevermind. A ticket cost $900 for the 2013 I/O.

5:24 PM

@OrigamiRobot Nope. I get to go, "Work, or I'll murder you."

Holy fuck this is getting annoying

THis is the third time in Luigis Mansion 2 I've been forced to restart a mission due to a bug making finishing the level impossible/

@fbueckert Robots do not respond well to threats.

@badp Why do your screenshots have the Ars watermark?

@NightExcessive The Ars liveblog is ahead of the video - live.arstechnica.com/liveblog-google-io-2013-keynote

so I'm just copy pasting images from that.

5:26 PM

@OrigamiRobot They do when they either conform, or they experience malfunctions.

Either way, I get what I want.

@Wipqozn What bug?

@badp Odd. I saw it in the live stream before you sent that image.

@fbueckert NO MALFUNCTION

@NightExcessive It's at least one minute ahead, possibly for the live close captioning (which is kinda terrible)

I'm at 1:34:20

@badp Yeah, nevermind. I saw the video in the livestream about 40 seconds later.

5:28 PM

@OrigamiRobot That you know of.

@Powerlord The bug I just hit was that the road got frozen, and I can't interact with him. I walk up to him and he just gets moved around into walls and stuff. The bug before this that I encountered was that the game teleported me inside of a wall when going through a door. I can't remember the first bug I encountered, it was when I just started playing.

@fbueckert LIFE NOT MALFUNCTION

I also walked through a door earlier.

I don't think Nintendo tested this game very well.

It's weird how I didn't get any bugs like the ones you're seeing.

@Wipqozn From now on, you shall be hailed "Wipqozn, Walker of Doors" to underline your amazing accomplishment.

5:29 PM

I did have once or twice where the game just froze, though.

(and I had to restart the 3DS)

"Today: 41 new features for Google+"

@badp Go on, I'm listening. puts on glasses with eyes painted on them

@Powerlord The snoring's the part where you're really paying attention, right?

@badp Thank you!

@badp Right

5:34 PM

lol, since they noticed no one uses hashtags on G+, they'll hashtag things for you!

~~whether you like it or not.~~

> #SFGiants / Also related: #HotDogKayak

One of the features was "Domo Arigato, Mr. Roboto"

Does that mean they're changing the font and selling that as a new feature?

Facepalm baby!

Hah

So, question for you guys.

How legitimate is a company that advertises on Kijiji for jobs?

And you can't find anything on their website about a location in your city.

@fbueckert Sounds super fishy to me.

5:41 PM

@fbueckert That's a lot of tittles.

7

I assume taking such a job will result in you waking up without lungs.

@Wipqozn That's what I'm leaning towards.

PaperStare @PeopleWhoStaredThat

The website looks pretty legit, but they make no mention of having an office here in Winnipeg.

@Ullallulloo Would you like me to fix that for you?

5:42 PM

@Ullallulloo Now we get to talk about whether you meant titles, titties, or some combination of both.

@Ullallulloo PaperStare is disabled because @fredley is a ruiner.

(This is me continuing research of sales agent selling central air)

@OrigamiRobot :(

@fbueckert Oh, that guy was obviously trying to scam you.

He's probably just getting close to you so he can judge the quality of your organs.

Tittle

A tittle is a small distinguishing mark, such as a diacritic or the dot on a lowercase i or j. The tittle is an integral part of the glyph of i and j, but diacritic dots can appear over other letters in various languages. In most languages, the tittle of i or j is omitted when a diacritic is placed in the tittle's usual position (as í or ĵ), but not when the diacritic appears elsewhere (as į, ɉ). The word tittle is rarely used. Its most prominent occurrence is in the Christian Bible at Matthew 5:18: "For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in ...

5:43 PM

@fbueckert Psh, air is free.

@Wipqozn He called me back a little while ago to give me the website URL.

I'm not sure why you're even still bothering with this guy.

heh

@badp ALL THE PIXELS

5:45 PM

@NightExcessive Save ALL the pixels? :(

@OrigamiRobot He just called again. Figured I'd at least check it out.

@fbueckert I stand by what I said.

@OrigamiRobot Everything I get seems seriously sketchy.

I believe I have an address I could go check out, though.

What is keeping you interested in this?

> Google+ now recognises who your family is in your uploaded photos

I'm not sure if I should be disturbed

5:47 PM

@OrigamiRobot Curiosity more than anything else.

That, and I really want central air in my place.

@fbueckert I am positive you can get that without this guy.

@OrigamiRobot I certainly can.

Back, me is.

@fbueckert You're going to end up with your brain in a jar.

Downside to being male while having hair this long: Police think you're a drug addict, for some reason.

5:49 PM

@OrigamiRobot You'd think you'd be pushing for that.

@FEichinger Also, it's hot.

Might also be related to having a ton of pockets ... Or the combination thereof. At any rate: I don't like being touched like that in public, sheesh.

@OrigamiRobot Not all that much, actually.

@FEichinger Whoa what happened?

@OrigamiRobot Random search as I left the subway. Because, as I said, apparently I look like a drug addict.

Oh, you're in Germany. I don't know nothing about no Germany.

5:54 PM

ROFL

that gif

Yeah, I was gonna say that's violating the fourth amendment.

It's still messed up.

Nah. It's all fine.

Coronus

Google makes me smile.

I prefer random searches over loose contraband. It's just a little annoying when that happens. Especially since I'm almost always getting searched when I run into that.

It's not like they're holding us at gunpoint or slamming us into walls. Just a friendly "Sir, can we look into your pockets, please?"
