I'm a recent convert to Remember the Milk[0], can't recommend it enough (the apparent stable business model is a plus as well, I recall using them back in the Blackberry era)

I'm led to believe the issues with Clojure (and other JVM languages) on Android are due to Dalvik not being as friendly to other languages as the Sun JVM. I don't blame Google, but it's unfortunate.

There are actually games written in Clojure that run on Android quite well. A bit slow to start up, but not nearly as bad as I had expected. Take a look at https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.friendlyvi... and check out their development blog.

EDIT: The guy who did NightWeb talks about Clojure on Android here: http://nightweb.net/blog/clojure-on-android.html

It's never been a secret that Google crawls your data, and it's not hard to find people up in arms about it.

And personally, I'm fine with Google doing so when they're actually doing something for my benefit with it (like Now).

I seem to remember hearing this is based on Quickoffice (which Google acquired)

Office Web actually handles the files server-side, as does Google's own Docs/Drive. This is a purely client-side extension.

The same reasons [0] are why I have a Chromebook. CrOS is limited, sure, but the limits make the thing bloody near invincible (and amazingly productive).

[0] Hangouts are luckily the VoIP of choice for most I work with

I was thinking of buying one for exactly this reason, too.

I just append ☎ to my signature.

(I know it's a rotary phone. But it existed pre-emoji so renders most anywhere, where U+1F4F1 [📱] doesn't.)

A note: if you're on VZW, their (sadly hideous) Messenger app replicates Voice's cross-device SMS(/MMS!) on your VZ number.

Why Google Voice still does not support MMS is dumbfounding to me.

Why something with 'voice' in the name supports any sort of text messaging at all is dumbfounding to me.

Why something called 'phone' has a map, a tv, a calendar, an internet browser, and a bunch of games built in at all is dumbfounding to me.

Yet that is the world we live in. Phones are expected to have all these features and phone numbers are expected to be able to accept text messages.

Just two weeks ago I wasted an hour waiting for my friends because GV silently dropped MMS multi-person chat messages sent to me. Not ok.

APK size takes a small hit, and there's extra work to bring in Java libraries. That's all I've found. I've actually been using their guides when working on ordinary Java-based Android code; their docs are well-written and their SDK maps nearly 1:1 to Google's (helps here that Java and C# are fairly similar to a degree).
