Google Reader Bug #1

Google Reader is my favorite tool for reading blogs. It's so awesome that I've stopped visiting websites that I used to daily (sorry no ad clicking there).

However, as I can notice, it's pretty buggy! Sometimes feeds are repeated. Unread count goes crazy. You can see below that I've read all feeds from AJE, however it still insists/shows that 2 items are unread.

Someone has to work on that.

Android 4.1.2: Google Play: Update apps over WiFi only (updated with Google's response)

I've noticed this many times in office, when I'm connected between fluctuating WiFi network (as I roam around), the nice feature of "Update apps over WiFi only" gets into action. I use a 2G/EDGE data connection when I'm not in office which is quite costly per mb of data. Well, the bug with Google Play app is that, once it starts updating app over WiFi, it doesn't stop if WiFi is lost. This has caused my cellphone bills to shoot up because I'm not aware when a WiFi connection is lost inside office. I believe even by design it should detect what kind of signal you are on and decide actions based on that. Using connected to WiFi as trigger point and not handling situations when WiFi is lost, would have costed many users. I'm not sure if people have already logged this against android. Well, I've logged it as Issue 53090 . Thank you Google. Update: I received following response from Google Play support team. Thanks for contacting us. I unde...

Google Hangouts: Not so finished

Image
I'm still struggling to get a hold of Google hangouts. It's supposed to be cool and awesome. But, I found it little annoying at times. Specially, it fails to show the current status of my friends in the list. This morning I pinged my friend to chat about something. Again, he wasn't shown online. Moments later, he pings me back and a new chat window pops up? Why? Was he using a different ID? NO. Why does it happen? I'm not sure if I would get a reply on this one. But logically it seems (from the recent behaviour of hangouts) that every chat is part of conversation ID (when they were busy copying others). So, a different conversation ID, leads to a new chat window.  But should that be a conversation ID? I don't think so. Another annoyance is that in open chat windows, if I'm switching between (browser) tabs, the cursor stays there, but the chat is scrolled back up and it shows, 1 new message. If you really wanna show 1 new message, show me wh...

Zalando Websites and their weird Top Categories

Image
I encountered this issue while looking at Zalando's websites for different countries. On their homepage (after redirecting to their country specific website), you can view the 'Top Categories" which were browsed/viewed by users across the Europe/Worldwide. I noticed that something was weird with the list as I saw "nicht verfugbar" on the Zalando.de website, which means "not available". Curious to know, if that was just one isolated incident on Zalando's German website, I checked all of Zalando's website and found similar occurrence on multiple country specific websites. The only country specific websites which did NOT have such issue were located in countries such as Norway, Sweden, Finland, Denmark etc. To me, who has no idea about their growth sitting at my computer table, it felt like indication of something. I could come up with (unproven) theory that "Not available" or similar terms could be indication of people browsing pr...
