Google Fixing the little things ! Ever since I joined the Gmail team, my friends have been eager to tell me, " I love Gmail ! Except for this one thing... " And every day, Gmail users share their "one thing" that would make Gmail better for them through our  suggestions page . While we enjoy creating new solutions to old problems with features like  Priority Inbox , those little annoyances and missing pieces are important, too. Recently, we've rolled out several small tweaks to Gmail to show it a little extra love.   Here’s a rundown: Auto-save contacts setting : Most people like that Gmail automatically saves every email address you send messages to; it can help recover forgotten addresses of former teachers, bosses, and people you contacted once but never thought you'd need to contact again.

Raymond, Spadaro said hackers shouldn’t be confused with “crackers”— the former builds things and the latter breaks them, Raymond wrote.) A small and ironic wrinkle in the godly hacker theory exis...
