Google stupidity

Written on 5/26/2006 – 4:12 pm | by Razvan Antonescu |

Google just realeased in the labs the Linux version of the Picasa. Users outside US will get only a 404 error. This is not a server error but a limitation that tries to prevent users outside US downloading it.

If you want you can do it by using Google Translation as a proxy.

STUPID STUPID move on behalf of Google

    Seems to be working fine for me now…and I don’t have a US proxy or something :)
    I wouldn’t be surprised if I heard this was either a new way of invitation-only betas or some US export issue on software..

    Currently I am in Cyprus and I can download without any issues. I would really have resentments against Google if they would do something as stupid as this.

    Yes it’s fine now but in the first 24h it ws blocked for the outside US. Might have been a bug but I have doubts
