I guess that's why they discontinued them. Whilst they were very popular with those who owned them, I guess they never sold enough to be profitable compared to their more core products.

Amen to that. My other bugbear is floating menus that expand to fill the whole phone screen when you zoom in. Because they are fixed, you can't scroll away from them, hence your only choices on a phone are 'too small to read'

To me, as an English person looking at America through the prism of the news, and articles such as this, it looks more and more like the American state is a rogue element beset by paranoia, increasingly lacking trust not only in the world a

Loads of icon packs have customised versions of the social media icons. IANAL, but my reading of the situation is that the companies hold the copyright for the logos, but in general allow people to use the logos, and their own versions of t

I too live in the UK, and it seems to me you are forgetting two things. Number one is the UK governments complicity in spying on UK citizens; and number two is that once the systems are in place to filter porn (and lets not forget how badly

I'm not sure I see this happening to any great degree. We have had the ability to know the sex of babies in advance for decades, and there are still many parents who prefer to leave it as a surprise. If there are still so many people w
