Weird. I sent myself a .pdf to try it out, and I'm using Firefox right now, but I know I've done the same thing using Chrome at work, probably with Excel files.
Oh, look at the pretties!

I just tried with a pdf, and I cannot save it to docs.

OK, I just opened Chrome to try it there, and I don't get any buttons when I view. Huh.
Eta: but I can add a .pdf to Drive using Firefox no problem.

Ann, that's a ferret.
Yahoo is buying Tumblr, so I'm not sure the comparision with Geocities works.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

I should probably call my friend who was just hired by Tumblr and warn her that the end is nigh...

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I'd be surprised if she didn't know, but does anyone have news on what plans Yahoo has for it? It fills a number of visual niches, not least of all because the pictures are only limited by a general sense of legality.
But I don't see how this is necessarily a worse thing than going to MS or FB, which seemed to be the other options.
Someone was buying that puppy, sooner rather than later.

Oh, I just meant the Geocities parallels. I don't remember how long that brand persisted after 1999.

Maybe they'll be a Flickr and not a Geocities--Flickr's limping around still. But does Yahoo need more staff?

Woe to the fucking wicked.
I was just going to be off Tumblr for 2 months (Shelock spoilers and no Tumblr Savior for the iPad, which is all I have with me). Now I wonder what shape it will be in when I get back.
I'm sure the children are gnashing their teeth and rending their garments.
