Flawed Google Drive

Isn't it awesome that someone provides a free service that let user edit Microsoft Office-compatible files (and include most functionality that people actually use) anywhere anytime when the user gets online? You know I'm talking about Google Drive (formerly known as Google Doc) I use it a lot but it has a really annoying bug: when you pick a cell on a spreadsheet, sometimes it will erase the content of the cell without you telling it to. Apparently I am not the only one who ran into this (see this post on Google's forum) Fortunately, Google Drive keeps revisions of files after every edit. According to Google's support doc, there is a menu option to access these revisions. Well, support was wrong! The option is NOT there. To see your revisions, you need to click on that "All changes saved in Drive" text instead, which is totally not intuitive.

You might say I'm nitpicking on something that is free. Maybe I am but this is from a company known for hiring the best talent in the industry! Anything less than perfect is unacceptable :P

The Real World

I'm talking about the TV show that I think ruined MTV in the 90s for good. You know, back in the days MTV actually stood for Music Television and broadcasted shows about music and ...... (surprise! surprise!) music video! I guess their management would rather boost ratings via these so-called reality TV shows that were full of shocking moments and outrageous dialogs (which I still believe were scripted!) Just realized the show has been on for 29 seasons! And the producer was really proud of this show, thinking it has done some good to the society, according to this interview:

maybe The Real World had a part in making this the most tolerant, open-minded generation ever.

Really?

Sports highlights: the Super bowl

Manchester United broke yet another "record" by losing to Stoke City 1-2. Oh well, "records were made to be broken" should be David Moyes' motto. The only things that could make me laugh are these jokes that made fun of Man U. But then none of them could be funnier than this (and this was real): a guest on a Detroit TV program mentioned a wrong team (New England Patriots who lost to the AFC champ Denver Broncos) when asked about the Super bowl. The host wasn't that knowledgeable either.

Even though the game was so lopsided, I enjoyed it a lot and I'm not even a Seahawk fan. Its QB, Russell Wilson, went to U. of Wisconsin so I supported him. And he looked so calm making those passes for 3rd down conversions. Glad to see him being successful. Normally I switch channel during half-time and I didn't have to do it. The performances by Bruno Mars and Red Hot Chili Peppers were better than I expected. I wish the latter played more than one song! And do you know Super bowl half-time performers never get paid? I didn't. They actually got compensated by huge increase in record sales the week after. Is this fair? Maybe.
