Why is that a problem though?

Except Tango didn't come from Facebook.Facebook has never made anything new aside from new standards in marketing and scummery. Google at least sometimes toy with the idea of things being open and is heavily investing in R&D othe

Remind me what did they do for (and with) PC gaming in the last 10 years.And how do you know they aren't making data of tracking you? What do you think Bing is about? Or their massive push towards the POWER OF THE CLOUD? Or the extreme

Can't say I'm surprised. Mentioning "Facebook" and "open" twice.... champions even!

Whenever someone talks about Ghostery, this is, of course, brought up. However, what isn't brought up that providing this data (GhostRank) is voluntary and I think it's disabled by default (but user is asked during the first time

Slightly OT: I see a lot of people here talking about EULAs. What about EULAs and Europan law, EU or national? I don't think they're compatible.

That market does exist today, Fastmail.fm is only one example I can think of off the top of my head (I surely got the ofs and offs wrong). I talk about them so much that I sometimes feel like a marketing goon ...

The level of support and communication provided by Fastmail is one of the reasons I use their services as well. I even got a very human and nice response when asking a Symbian-related question.

You know, when if I had problems like that, I would show my discontent with the only meaningful way: I'd stop using the service. Like I do it with Google (aside from Youtube, where I can't comment any more), Facebook and many othe

>We all create data about ourselves every day. From task lists to fitness trackers to the tweets we share, our data is everywhere. So many assumptions.

And the word "app" seems to have taken over the world.

This reminds me (and I apologize for the OT), I know Singapore also relies heavily on camera surveillance, but is it known whether they then process the data in a similar (i.e. harvest as much as they can) way to LAPD? Are there any known i

I believe the Budapest Memorandum is more of a guideline than an agreement.

That definition is wrong, it implies that "free to use" also means "free to read/modify the code" and "resell it". By GNU definition, software like Opera isn't free. Not even something as basic as (mo

I had 2GB mailbox in 2006 and an unlimited a year later. And I was never fan of threaded views, so I guess I didn't notice, heh.

Since Gmail? What new did Gmail bring to email users exactly?

I suggest not using infinite scrolling. It's annoying as hell when I want to get back to where I was or just browse some older entries.

Funny how those internal politics are internal only now that MS bought Nokia, isn't it?

by Aoyagi 13y ago
Huh, I didn't even know of its existence. But yeah, turns out things like Nokia 105 run on S30. I have to try that someday, heh.

Symbian isn't supported any more even today and Ovi Store has been frozen. And Symbian is much more of a "smart" phone OS than WP8. Also S40 isn't really Symbian. :)

by Aoyagi 13y ago
The "featurephone" OS is S40 and it's in both "classic" phones (e.g. 515) and Ashas.... unless there is something I've missed completely. And come to think of it, I haven't heard any confirmation of closi

Ovi Store has been frozen a few weeks (months?) back, so no updates for MeeGo/Symbian applications through that.

by Aoyagi 13y ago
MeeGo was a) successor of Maemo on N900 (and other devices) and b) abandoned, because "burning bridges".

It's supposed to be very cheap'o. MS (and by that Nokia) is focusing on "fast-growing emerging markets" a lot.

by Aoyagi 13y ago
I don't think they plan making any new S40 phones, so that would make it two OSes.

Sure, let me just change the habits in hundreds of companies in the EU, including not very tech-savvy people. Brilliant idea. I would have moved to some other OS if it wasn't for the Office issue and the fact that huge number of games
