I haven't tested WP8 devices but the default browser on WP7.5 didn't support pinch gestures so google just displayed a page saying "Your device is not supported".

Why are we still using english language? It's such an old tool that I think we should transcend from it to a new level. It took quite long for personal computers to catch up with super-computers of 50s and 60s. Many tools and concepts might

Can be used in places that only support images. Can be used in places that don't want audio. Variable frame rate. Auto play enabled by default. Designed to loop continuously. Have you seen how people use gif animations?

It's sad that Mozilla has not included WEBP. I cannot understand why since it seems to be a wonderful format. Maybe they are waiting for all the promised features to deliver. So far I haven't seen working animations or lossy + alpha in Chro

I'm enthusiastic about animation support. It's mind-boggling that we are still using an image format from 80s with crappy compression and limitation to 256 colors.

You should disable images in mails by default (the way gmail does it) or at least add an option for disabling them. Images are usually used to track if and how many times you read the mail. You're also missing the chat. As for your question

The real problem with Amazon-lense is that it provides lots of irrelevant search results. I cannot remember the last time I paid for single album. It's all about subscription services now. I do like that they are experimenting with integrat

I think the main argument for remote X is that it is so easy to use between 2 true X11 environments. You just `ssh -X` to your target and start running programs. On Windows or OSX though... If you were going to install X11 why not skip it a

The images switch quite rapidly. I prefer the rate they have at http://filtermusic.net/ One per song could also work. I think you should use some transition effect for images. Controls clip at the bottom with Chrome on Ubuntu 12.04: http
