The greatest minds in our industry are focused on solving two main (apparent) problems: 1. How to we get people to click on more ads? 2. How do we get more people laid? Somehow I find this depressing, all that wasted talent.

I'd be happier if they fixed the damn microphone issues with the existing Nokia 8 first, or at least acknowledged the issue for those Nokia 8 users (myself included) who can't even make a call on this device: https://co

I have complained about some of these issues, but been ignored. I mentioned that in the blog entry. I really don't think it should be my job to roam around the building, asking people to keep the noise down, take their dogs back, stop

Agreed. I started with WebOS (Pre was my first smartphone), then HP happened. So I jumped to Blackberry 10, then their new CEO moved them to Android. So now now I am a reluctant Android user, because I find it only slightly less invasive

Ok some examples: 1. Daddy pig is portrayed as an idiot. In fact, there are no positive male figures in the whole show. Check sexism. 2. All of the animals are married to animals of the same type: there are no "inter-racial" mar
