For tmux, I assign the bind-key to backtick (`) and last-window to TAB. Then do most of my work in window #1. On a US keyboard, I find it pretty easy to move between windows with `1, `2, `TAB, etc.
"To get that in writing, that’s 91.58 Mbps down and 35.01 Mbps up."
No. That's how fast speedtest.net is. Google Fiber is much, much faster. Try it again with http://speedtest.googlefiber.net/
I agree that his argument is flimsy at best, but why do you only associate Coke and Pepsi products with brands?
What about rock bands, video games, movies, radio stations, operating systems, charity groups, regional festivals, political parties, etc., etc.?
I think most people are emotionally invested in at least a few of these kinds of non-person entities and it's not unreasonable to think that they would like to follow them on G+.
Pretend like it's called the "Firehose" instead of the "Stream" and then add everyone who you find even mildly interesting. Then use the circle editor to create less noisy channels – e.g., "Friends" for people you know IRL and "Tech" for tech journalists/bloggers that you find particularly interesting, etc.
IMO, this is the best of all worlds. You always have fresh content in your Stream a la Twitter; open the "Friends" circle for Facebook; "Coworkers" for LinkedIn, "Tech" for industry news; etc. Lastly, mute posts that are becoming annoying.
Thanks to circles, the main Stream is not particularly valuable real estate that you need to protect. You can always create a new circle called "Stream Sans Scoble" and add everyone except Scoble. :)
There's a vending machine in 43, second floor.
I get your point, but I think that's simple too: you received the post because it was sent to you. Or in Google's vocabulary: because you were in the circle it was shared with. I can agree though, that this slightly more confusing than the Facebook model: because your friend posted it.
I really like the idea of suggesting Google+ "celebrities" to follow; you should suggest it with the feedback tool. I recommend Tom. :)

To beat Facebook, you also need data centers.
People often seem to confuse "different" with "worse." I wonder why this is. Circles are also "simple to reason about" – i.e., everyone in the circle gets the post. It's just different from Facebook in that circles are asynchronous, so it feels a bit foreign. Different, not worse. It's arguably better since it also supports Twitter-style following with a single, unified mechanism.
Well, one thing it means is don't bother asking Tim any Javascript questions during his interviews.
Try bufdo, argdo, windo, and tabdo depending on the subset of files you'd like to modify. E.g., to replace "foo" with "bar" in all open buffers:
:bufdo %s/foo/bar/g | update
Although I wouldn't knock `bash command madness' for this sort of task. :)
The Unix shell is pretty much designed for advanced text manipulation across files. E.g., to replace all instances of foo with bar in HTML files, recursively:
$ find . -name '*.html' -exec perl -i -lpe 's/foo/bar/g' {} \;
vim and the shell are not so far apart and complement each other well, so it pays to understand them both.
If you don't trust Google with your data, why are you using Google Docs?
Cool hack; but if these kinds of things bother you, consider using a more powerful text editor.
