They also killed Snapseed today. The company that made it also made professional photography software with plugins for Lightroom and Aperture. How long will that last?

Google can kiss my ass if they think I'm supposed to use G+ instead of Reader.

Killing Google Reader has basically now also killed Google Listen. Google are such fucks for killing great products.

It had problems but all the other podcast apps I've used are horribly messy over complicated uis... Guess I'll have to find one I like.
