Inclusion suggests exclusion. You can't have one without the other. Thus, social interactions always do both.

Because its less convenient than what I have. I tend to respond to messages as a side effect of using the newsfeed feature. I do not use Facebook messaging enough on its own to warrant another messaging app outside gchat and SMS. Removing t

Not sure why you were getting downvoted. I agree. If they pull messaging out of the mobile app, I'll stop using it.

Agree. I use both the news feed and the chat. What, now I have to have two apps? Fuck you Facebook.

One question I had was "what is my customer's experience?" You went into great detail about what features it had that would be convienent for me as an owner, and there seemed to be a hint at some of the customer features, but

This is cool, but definitely took me longer than 5 minutes. I gave up halfway through. The tour should simply do these things for the user, and narrate it as it goes live. That would be impressive. Giving us some funky interface and having

The "programming language that thinks for you" is a stretch. The Wolfram API and development kit could be an amazing visualization and research tool. I would love to have a university grant for a couple of years to hack with this

I don't use apps. Does that make me a grandpa? I'm under 30. Too much coffee for this guy. The last paragraph is cool, and I can visualize a day when you just want to contact someone async... or not in any medium and not have to

Can't argue with the sentiment. And considering "numbers" I'd say you're right about privileged kids getting 4.0 easy, but it can't build character. Maybe I myself am an outlier (as I've had my own hardshi

Apps, games, better user experience. I have the same BluRay player and I would choose this over that. That said, I already have the BluRay player so there will need to be a game worth $140 for me to get this.

Yeah, but I'd buy a lot more "Nintendo-like" casual-ish games if they were $5 a pop instead of $60. Add the fact I can sit comfortably on the couch with my wife and play, and I'm in. I just hope there are enough 2 player

It looks like it could take minimal effort to map controls to the controller or remote. This gives existing android games and developers a quick in-road to the living room.

Good thing as a customer I don't care. I can't imagine Roku would sell their device for $98 without Amazon, nor would a $69 device without Amazon Instant Video seem attractive. As the customer, I couldn't care less. There is

Possibly. Some games won't cross over well, or at all. For instance, Fruit Ninja wouldn't work. Angry Birds would. Tap Tap Revenge or whatever wouldn't. Etc. One thing to keep in mind is mobile is a form factor, but no longer

I feel like that last part is an assumption. That's like saying people who want more out of their phones only want to do e-mail. I have been aching for a large library of easy and casual games I can share with my wife forever. She does

I wouldn't knock it until you tried it. The graphics for games like Bard's Tale and many others are pretty damn good on mobile devices. We all have great mobile gaming experiences, wouldn't it be awesome if you could share th
