*Like an H6*

Popping nodes in the dom, like a blizzard
When we code we do it right gettin slizzard
Sippin sizzurp in my box, like 6 px
Now I'm feeling so small like a H6
Like a H6, Like a H6
Now I'm feeling so small like a H6
Like a H6, Like a H6
Now I'm feeling so small like a H6

Gimme that See-SeeEssEss
Gimme that Duh-Duh-OM
Browsers love my style, and my tables gettin wild
Get them browsers scaling, we get that class and that prop
Now give me 2 more nodes cause you know it don't stop

Here's the latest I/O Speaker Circle (v3, May 7th edition)

Looks like Vimeo embeds are working correctly in v2 now!

Compiler experts:

The JS style guide mentions that UPPER_CASE implies @const-- however when I try compiling this code using


  /**  @type{number}
   *@const*/
  var FOO = 1;
  FOO = 2;

it fails, but

  /**@type{number} */
  var FOO = 1;
  FOO = 2;

succeeds

Oddly enough this succeeds as well, which I would expect to work..
  /**@type{number}@const*/
  var FOO = 1;
  FOO = 2;

Any ideas?  These tests were done with http://closure-compiler.appspot.com -- I have not tested using google3 (yet)  Just wanted to make sure that the style guide meshes with the way the compiler treats things..

I/O Speakers Circle v2 (May 3rd Edition)

I/O Speakers Circle v2 (May 3rd Edition)

Added some missing speakers including:

Pamela Fox Kris Schroder Alexis Deveria Helena Roeber Charles Mendis Alexis Hanicotte Steve Lee Olivier Michon 

Here's a circle containing all the speakers announced to date.  I'll try to keep it up to date and reshare it as more sessions are announced.

Tip: Consider creating a new circle for people from this list.  Then you can control how much I/O you get in your main stream with Google+ Volume Controls.  (You can also remove the circle later too)

Enjoy Google I/O!

 

 

 

Salon.com needs to learn
- that they have a http://google.com/+salon URL
- use rel="publisher" in their page markup instead of using http://gplus.to/Salon

Anyone have time to reach out?

I created this circle based on the profiles listed on the public I/O Site.  You might be seeing people adding you on G+ due to this.   !

Today at ,  Seth Sternberg and Ardan Arac announced that we'll soon be integrating Google+ Platform app activities [1] into Google Search. 

Soon, if you search for a site or app on Google.com (and that app has integrated with Google+ Sign-In app activities), you'll see popular and aggregate user activity next to search results. For example, searching for Fandango will show the top movies among Google+ users. And when you click on a movie, you’ll go directly to its page on Fandango.

Can you guess the theme of this playlist which ranges from pop to metalcore?

Also this contains a song that is not in Google Play (Erykah Badu)  What do you see?  Is it playable?  (Hope not, that would put us on par with Grooveshark...)

Anyone have contacts in Argentina? Teleshow (http://teleshow.infobae.com)  is sending about 3m malformed +1 button requests/day.  They just need to change

  annotation="medium "

to

I'll personally send the person that helps fixes this a Google+ t-shirt and a kudo.

Haven't used chrome jank tools for a while, wow.  Loving the paint and compositing feedback.

Replacing goog-inline-block with 'display: inline-block' is helping.  Removing useless positioning helps too.  Have a few CLs out to get rid of some of the boxes below...

I would like to report a problem with the +1 button on rtl.nl  The value of the 'annotation' parameter is incorrect.  This prevents the button from displaying.

Can you route to the appropriate technical contact? 

An example page where this failure occurs follows:

Thank you!

Looks like we're not quite   for image filtering.

TL;DR -- SIte displays porn content from freebase/knowledge graph that violates AdSense ToS.


_A quite strange thing happened recently. I have a news website and I'm using Freebase API to provide readers for more in depth information about the content of news articles.  The site runs Google's AdSense ads._

_Following the publication of a local news, on the sidebar containing text and images downloaded through Freebase API, an image of a woman with her bare breasts was displayed._

_Well, that image, made available by Freebase, which is a Google product, was considered obscene by the team of AdSense (also a Google product), which decided to suspend the service. A sort of vicious circle of Google, exercising a censorship on itself._

_Given the impossibility to make Google people understand that the visualization of such kind of images was occasional and not intentional, I'd prefer to avoid such problems in the future. Hence, I'd like to know whether there's some way, when using Freebase API, to filter out images considered obscene by the AdSense team._









 

 

Is there anything we can do to help hacked Wordpress installations that have pharma ads?  As you can see below it's impacting sharing to G+:

http://presidiosocialclub.com/
https://spore.corp.google.com/#!s=d070e83cd3d49444

This has been going on for *years*, I've personally had to burn down and rebuild many WP blogs for friends.  (and multiple times due to backdoors).   (Read more about it at http://blog.aw-snap.info/2011/02/pharmacy-hack.html)

What can we do?  Are we still running netagent to detect spam cloaking?  Can we detect spammy links/text and refetch?  Should Google+ ignore spore and just refetch using it's own user-agent (ick!)?

Can GFEs do more than basic redirects?  Like mod_rewrite?  It seems like it'd be super useful.  For example:

  https://www.google.com/buzz/post?url=xxx&hl=l

could be redirected to

  https://plus.google.com/share?url=xxx&hl=l

It appears the the path_redirects only allow for path->absolute redirections..  Happy to be proven wrong.

Thanks everyone for the birthday wishes!

Thanks everyone for the birthday wishes!  Julie & I spent a fine evening at Pizzaiolo which had a March 32nd themed menu with dishes we won't see till next year, including their special Italian spring break cocktail sesso sulla spiaggia.

 

The first thing I thought of when I saw today's doodle?  The stupid people who think it's really _Hugo Chavez_.

Begs the question --  do we have the guts to put on an Isaac Newton doodle for Christmas?
