"I dunno, I guess I'm just different. I use Hangouts much like I use Facebook Messenger, I have one ongoing conversation with each person I want to talk to, and maybe a few groups. It would be fucking killer if I could go to an album and see just the pictures from one of those conversations, and that's exactly what Google is offering. It's not just that one picture of salad dressing, it's an album with every picture sent back and forth in that "hangout," which could have been going for months. A single "Hangout Photos" album would be confusing. Maybe a separate tab specifically for hangout albums would work though. But my name should never be the first name in the album titles, haha."

"Each hangout gets its own album with the shared photos from that hangout in it. What's weird about that?"

"Google needs to clarify policy on private content. If I have an dirty picture on my phone and it gets "instant uploaded" or "auto backup'd," that shouldn't be against their policy. It should only be against their policy if I share it (publicly)."

"There's a 30-day return policy for Kindles on Amazon, so if it ends up hurting your eyes (never heard of people complaining about it but just in case) or you don't like it for some reason you can always send it back for free."

"It does not bother my eyes in the slightest. It is not actually a "backlight," after all. The way it works is complicated, but there's a layer of this material over the e-ink screen that reflects the light onto the screen from the LEDs arranged along the bottom of the device. The light is actually coming from over the screen rather than under the screen, so it shouldn't strain your eyes."

"The syncing with other devices is what made it for me. The simple fact that I can be at work and read the book on my computer monitor, be in line somewhere and read the book on my phone, or be at home or out with my Paperwhite and read the book on that device, and have it synchronized automatically. I don't bring my actual kindle everywhere with me (I'm a guy so I don't get the convenience of a purse), yet I still have access to whatever book I'm currently reading. It's pretty awesome."

"You're paying for access to music you DON'T own, stuff you haven't updated. You can stream unlimited songs from Google without purchasing or uploading them. So if a friend is like, "Hey listen to this" on a roadtrip somewhere, you can pull it up on Google Music and stream it, even if you don't own it. It also generates radio stations (Spotify does this for free but with ads) and helps you discover new artists based on what you already like."
