Here's why it doesn't work: Remove 140 character limit: That is the essence of twitter. The limit helps me consume a lot more tweets than I can consume long winding emails or articles. Whitelist: So make it difficult for someone to send you

It makes Google look amateurish to announce a product with big fanfare and to cancel it later admitting that it does not do much... executive powerplays at work I guess...

Don't disagree with the power of persuasion but the approach of expecting you to be persuaded is flawed I think. It makes the other person responsible for expressing his/her point effectively enough that you understand the importance of it.

I think the point being made here is only valid when you just move the data around and don't alter it. filepicker is a perfect example where you pass the data around without actually touching it and such a usage is a perfect case for passin

It really looks like they sold dreams to the poor business and the business was too busy to really understand the terms and consequences of the deal. May be Groupon took advantage of the gullible business or maybe they were they were too dr

These kind of apps tend to be free though. There might be paid version available but for most a cheaper and usable version is either already there or would soon replace the paid version for most users.

the Windows Phone platform is going through some churn. With the new Windows 8, apps can share the marketplace so you can target the Windows installed base with your apps too. If you have already spent efforts developing the app, leaving it

So you don't really get it do you? It's not just about recycling its about reuse. I can buy a used laptop and a new battery and I have a good usable laptop. I don't need to purchase a new one. That's where the dismantling helps.

yeah good riddance I say. For each SF city that decides to not buy Apple product, many more iFans like me will some forward in support and buy more. What do I care if the product is bad for the environment? It looks shiny and expensive and
