I really wish I could buy one, but alas it's not in the UK yet. I like the concept, I like the sensors and I love that it's cross phone platform. I've no idea why they are taking so long to get to other markets. Please don&#

It's not the hype, for me I use JavaScript because I have no choice. I dislike many things about it, but I have no choice, I need my code to run in the web browser, no plug in, no Flash or Silverlight etc. For my start up, I can'

I've had my phone stolen before, but never my door keys. Now I can experience a much bigger problem if I'm mugged again.

Having a very quick look, I see a websocket connection, which IE can do just fine. The only thing I see that it can't is the desktop notification, which you still have some ability, in fact 'pinned' sites in IE let you have a

Use IE (wow, don't say that often) it has much better typography support, if you are on a high DPI display, chrome just looks awful.

My fitbit has just emailed me to let me know it's charge time. 5-6 days isn't really enough for my useage. However, this is better than many of the smart watches to me, why have a large circular face? Plus the price point of $199

The branding there is incredibly strong. Some friends of mine in Vietnam run a shop, in Hoi An. They make a comfortable for local standards income, but after tax rates and costs they will have about $10k a year, not to be sniffed at, but s

This is very worrying, an AN-26 does not have the service ceiling of what I would expect the MH flight to be travelling at. A trip seven would be about 2500m higher.

Why would I want to use my phone, and public network latency, to do what windows already offers built in. Is it really that much better dictation? Or is it one of those I'm lucky I speak the 'way' that windows is expecting.
