I've had to stop reading Polygon whilst the Features can be good there's so much clickbait and non gaming news. I understand they need more traffic but if I want film reviews I'll go to a film website I don't understand

I imagine it could be very difficult to see posts by or about friends or family who have passed away but you could look at it as an opportunity to remember good times too. The Facebook timeline always strikes me as kind of false by only pre

Interesting they're saying 20 years and beyond. I wonder if other browser developers are thinking that far ahead.

I like the idea for internal discussion of problems but I don't think we'll see usage of a scale like this on say a corporate support Twitter account. It will end up with the Hacker groups of the world bragging about the 10s they&

I have a moto 360 myself and never remember to wear it. It came free with my contract. If I were to buy another smartwatch it probably would be a Pebble Time I just think they should push this particular USP.

I think Pebble's biggest selling point is that it works on iOS and Android. I don't think that many change ecosystem on purpose after deciding iPhone or Android (they're too invested fairly quickly) but I'm sure many peo

"We’d love to see Apple fix some of the App Store issues and make everybody use it." I agree with the first part of this but not the second.

Doesn't Chrome do this on desktops for "OK Google", I know Android does with Nexus Devices. I've turned it off for everything aside from my Xbox One which I find myself trusting for some reason.
