I'd like a single folder for each application type, then an alphabetical list of apps - maybe working something like the contact list. As it is I am stuck with dozens of folders (for each letter of the alphabet, and because of 12 app per fo

I don't know if I would say impossible to succeed. But by demanding full price for the OS, even on low end phones, it meant that Nokia rolled out far fewer windows phones. I think that was bad for Microsoft and Nokia, and indicative of old

Heh, I meant it as an actual question, is there a regulatory process for changing batteries. I could see something like this either being covered or not.

I think the biggest problem is that they charge for their operating system, which is fine for the Lumia 920, but isn't practical on low end phones where Nokia actually still has some market share. Or at least not practical at the rates Noki

Do you really need regulatory approval to change a battery design or battery type in a commercial plane?

I'm only semi serious, but only supporting plaintext copy and paste is more of a feature than a limitation for me. I'm sure I'm not the only person who has kept notepad open to copy into to remove formatting. Not so much an issue anymore wi

That only 75% of Stanford MBA grads have jobs at graduation is more a reflection of the rising value of entrepreneurship than the difficulty of getting jobs. Students aren't lining up consulting or banking jobs because there are better pros

I didn't know about the j & k keys in G+. Just tried it and it is a pretty good substitute for the space, though I do hope that gets fixed.

What browser are you using? Others have mentioned Firefox has updated to address the issue, but Chrome will scroll too far (full window height) when you hit space, which makes using G+ on other fixed header sites super annoying for us keybo

Also, don't you think wages would be higher without unions? The collective bargaining is allowing professional sports owners to suppress all salaries. If there were no unions/collective bargaining, at the very least, the top players would i

I don't really disagree about the shift in power, but it doesn't have anything inherently to do with the structure of corporations (liability shield, "person", tax status). If you want to disallow corporations from political donations, then

I didn't intend to be snarky, I really did assume you didn't read the article becasue you said the article ignored the legal and tax benefits, and the it does mention both. If you believe that the government can regulate the free speech of

If you read the article, it doesn't ignore those facts. Those benefits are the point of corporations, and the "personhood" a side effect. Sure there are strings attached, but speech goes directly to the rights of the collective. Would you s

You are right, but I do think it ties into the larger "corporations are people" thing that has been bothering people since the campaign finance reform law was overturned.

I've found that writing critiques of other people's sites has helped me clarify my thinking about my own. Coupled with good feedback the site has been very helpful! A low friction way to get outside feedback.

I think you are overstating the case against the subsidy model. It is hard to compare plans because they differ in small ways (minutes. texts, etc..), but my current ATT plan is 2 lines, 700 min, 200 texts, 'unlimited' data, and two iphones
