I once talked to CTO of a quite popular app and he mentioned that he finds it best to ask for all permissions you might need upfront (on first install), even if you don't need them yet. Adding them in upgrades later results in lots of

This sounds excellent, I can't believe I never tried it yet! Of course, this should be part of core Android, but I guess there is no hope for that (given that Google makes its dough on advertising).

I am having difficulties understanding the explanation - how can IE8 have a number equal or higher than IE9?

Interesting poing - but in case of FB one could argue that staying alive depends on being cool.

I wouldn't say that. I think they are competitive because they focus on what is important and disregard the rest as much as they can. And high availability is clearly not what is important for success in this case. With Youtube I would

I don't see the point - they should ask for subscriptions, not for donations. What will they do next month / year, ask again? And again?

Exactly! Also, is it safer having the password saved on your phone in cleartext, or is it safer if user has to enter it every time in front of strangers?

Yes, but I don't think such shortages do them much harm.

Agreed. Also, less (/no?) memory related bugs counts for something too.

> The biggest problem with PHP is its core developers, adding some "feature" is not fixing the language. Removing the bad parts should be the focus of the next PHP versions. It is not. This. Well said.

I think the "ideal size" depends on the size of the monitor you are currently using. I was happy with 29" initially... now I can't wait to try something larger. I am not sure where this process ends, but 50" sounds

One difference: you can't legally develop for iOS with non-Apple hardware. Which is IMHO an extortion, but there you have it.

I think this article missed a point. It is not a battle between "Yes, if" and "No, because" - each has its own place and each should be used with care. The first stage of innovation should use "Yes, if" approac

AFAIK they already agreed to that in case of HK. Not that it matters much... There are other ways one can set an example.

The solution is to make those that support these bill pay the price (as high as possible - in votes, revenue, public image,...) for it. One by one...

Marcus, thanks for the answer! It sounds like a useful tactic... We are trying to push for a similar system so it is good to know how others cope with it. Thanks again!

I don't think the factory owner example applies here (the article is talking about creative workers. And I also think that a lot of stuff is negotiable - you just need to show your worth. It is all too easy to go the same path as all o

Why would invisible watermarks in any way deter the thieves? Granted, you can catch them if that is your intention, but it more effort for less gain. I don't understand the reason for this policy.

I hope YOU don't work in UX... ;) The need to educate a customer usually surfaces when someone was unable to produce a proper product. Sure, you need to warn users when your product can't be used under some circumstances, but if p
