ZDNet has confirmed first-hand that the glitch is present within Google Apps for Business accounts, including those that have not yet switched over to Google's new Hangouts platform. Messages appear to be visible on the mobile version of Hangouts. There are multiple reports of this issue."

    Can't tell if this is an actual mistake or the best post ever.

    I'm often amazed by how buggy Google software is. They have more money than they know what to do with and yet they put out some of the buggiest software. Google Drive is a disaster. I love Google Earth and use it daily but it crashed about 3 times yesterday. Maybe they should invest some of that money in quality control.

    I was saying this same thing a couple weeks ago to a friend. Google software is notoriously bad in quality. They have what seems to be zero QA and just release everything as beta. That was great when they were solely a tech company targeting the tech savy but they are mainstream now and targeting everyone.

    I honestly can't think of anything of theirs that isn't buggy as hell. Nice tech but the user experience is very low for a company that prides itself on the quality of its engineers.

After an instrument has been assembled, extra components will be found on the bench.
