Maybe coz I've been using gtalk and gmail for more than a couple of years now,hence am getting too critical about many of their finer aspects. But by this,I do not intend to hurl any insult at these cutting edge,instinctive products.
Disclaimer. Period.
Back to bashing.
Do u sometimes wonder as to who among your friends are currently invisible on their Gtalk account. For beginners, the invisible option doesn't show up on your gtalk chatting client, it only shows up when you login through ur gmail account and use the cloud gtalk.
Well,now am gonna tell u a simple trick.
1) Login to gtalk.
2)Go to settings
3)Go to the Notifications tab.
4)Check the box, show friend when online.
From now on whenever anyone logs in u get a irritating message saying "Jackass is online."
Sometimes or rather many times it also shows people who are invisible .
I have checked it with multiple accounts and with some other friends of mine.
Well am not the one who found it first, lotza other people have noticed this too.
I strictly cannot predict how to reproduce this bug,coz it doesn't work many times.But yeeah, i do know most of the times, the names of some those who are invisible.
Just a piece of code which might be hitting a global variable by chance. That's my take.
Wanna be invisible still??
