I got the same result but also have Yelp installed. I'm a facebook user but m.facebook.com is so much better than the native app.

Skype has a ton of legacy (just look at this list: http://www.skype.com/en/download-skype/skype-for-computer/ ) - supporting that can't be easy. WhatsApp will probably face similar problems in 5-10 years,

Not really - many people rely on Google Cloud and if Google made it harder for Spotify to compete (via, say, raising prices for Google Cloud for them), they'd have to be pretty specific to Spotify to not cause other customers to move t

Trying to get out of paying taxes is like arguing the score of a game after the game has ended. If you didn't like how it ended up, you should have been playing it differently. High level players are able to change the rules.

I'll add that sometimes being right doesn't matter.

Not seeing any ads anymore changed things in my household. I recall all the garbage ads I've seen as a kid. It's refreshing not having to endure any of that anymore.

I've heard people running pf in a vm which their main OS talks to the rest of the world through. Sounds interesting but personally I'm sure I would get it wrong.

I had a very similar experience as you watching the movie "Hugo". Many reviewers said it was a great movie, personally I found it dull and wandering. I'm pretty convinced I am not the target audience.

So what's Uber's long term game plan? Wiping out local taxi companies could be one, but people aren't going to disown their less-driven car anytime soon, nor is public transportation going to go away. At some point I assume

Pardon if this is a naive question, but are there languages designed with static analysis in mind?

I suspect there is a non-trivial number of users for whom the entire internet is broken for this simple reason.

Ironically if you're employed but don't drive, you either take the bus, walk or work from home; all these options leave you with extra time in your day and less of a need for Uberman.

I'm not disgusted, but rather more disappointed. I'm happy that more people are experiencing games, but I'm disappointed that the most visible games in app stores are those that nickle and dime you to death. There are still g

My guess is that some IP-to-Geolocation service says nothing more specific than "Atlanta" and this couple happens to live in the geocenter of Atlanta.

It seems like most instragram users have over 100 followers[1], if they're all active and connected that means a sizable chunk of likes (or whatever else you can do) when you post something. Surely sending all these notifications isn&#

Personally, when troubleshooting software, I've always found that stating assumptions, testing them both for false and true values, and writing the results down, makes for good (albeit sometimes slow) forward progress. Of course, you g

More people buying doesn't change your chances - it potentially lowers your payout. Makes me wonder if getting more people to play higher jackpots ends up evening things out in the end.

Personally, Amazon's UI has a long way to go and doesn't look like it's going to get better anytime soon. If you know what you're looking for, it's fine, but as soon as you try to comparison shop it falls apart fair

Even so, a government could still block them until they realized it's futile (or something). The end effect is in their favor: users to move to other platforms that are not as secure.

I suppose regarding children's books I should have tempered that with " all children's books". There's a category of children's book that provides a tactile experience that ebooks/apps cannot match (e.g.

I don't know if I'd be comfortable completely giving up control to a driving computer, even on a straight highway. I am totally for a computer telling me when I'm driving dangerously because I'm distracted or tired.

OP appears to be interested in scientific papers, and may have stumbled upon it. This is unlikely to be astroturfing and more a side-effect of the recent interest in Star Wars and its associated marketing push.
