1. Google+ won't load on my Android tablet using the default browser. (Also fails in Firefox.) I don't know how to tell them...

2. (What I was actually going to say there:) Apparently the keyboard for my ASUS tablet drains battery way faster than the tablet itself. Not what I expected! If any leeching is happening I thought the keyboard would draw from the tablet, and if there's no leeching, I expected the keyboard to be the less-demanding device. Now I wonder what's really going on. (The two weigh about the same, and I assume battery is a significant part of the weight.)

I have a similar problem with G+ inside a browser on the tablet. (I use Opera.) Even though I'm signed into Google it doesn't recognize the fact, and it's enormously slow and clunky.

I use the G+ app instead, and that works fairly well. However, I don't know that the app is susceptible to any kind of presentational tweakage, so that might not be even remotely useful for your needs.

Oh that's true; I could install the G+ app on my tablet. I use it on my phone (G+ in a phone-sized browser is a losing proposition) and it's ok. Not great (truncates posts too early and the font's kinda small), but legible. I should check it out on a tablet.

I was just startled that Google's site wasn't working in Google's browser on Google's OS. :-)
