> lack of apps killed it For me personally, this is not true. I had a windows phone for about a year and it sucked, and I do mean SUCKED for daily use. At the time, I didn't use apps apart from email. Sure animations were smooth, bu

I visited the "Thrive Global" site and looked for the app. It is 3 clicks in, and appears to be... a tracking app which is available only on Samsung devices . I'd be better off googling for "Productivity tools" ove

In India, I got my iPhone serviced for a camera issue. They updated the device to the latest iOS before returning it to me. I was given no choice in the matter. Wouldn’t be surprised if they do it for battery replacements as well.

Wouldn't the same logic have applied to Microsoft when they delivered IE pre-installed? If MS was abusing it's market dominance then, so is Amazon now.

I don't think you're an outlier. The numbers behind the OKCupid graph are likely based on physical attractiveness . The conclusion to draw is that men are more likely to find women of a certain age physically attractive. As you

This good for Google. India is already going cashless. There are plenty of wallets and chash-less apps spending money trying to buy market share. Every vendor and their younger brouther has their own wallet app. You'd be hard pressed

I don't think that would work. I mean, it might work if airbnb and trump properties share the same customer base... which they might. But then it's more likely to attract people looking for free accommodation rather than customers

It's 1,150.00 Rs on the India appstore. That's not throwaway money. There's no way to know the quality of this app until the money is paid.

I guess the problem is: 1. Facebook already is a truly global network. 2. Based on history, it's likely that most of the people who care about these kind of things have already left.

Unfortunately, Lumia's are not durable. The screen of my Lumia 620 broke after just a few months of use. Nokia's legendary durability died with the feature phone.
