I have to wonder if Microsoft is dodging the 30% cut or if they reached some sort of deal with Apple. Office is big-name enough that they definitely don't need the App Store's distribution channel.

The number of immigrant workers is so small compared to the number of national workers (17.1% [1]), that although I don't doubt there might be some truth to your statement I personally think it's probably statistically not signifi

I don't have kids (yet) but I do understand the worry. Especially with more modern games-- they are designed to be addictive. I'd have no problem letting my kid watch a movie they like because they'll probably watch it once,

I didn't have the experience of growing up in Germany (or the USA to compare), but I can draw parallels to growing up in Mexico. My mom sure was strict, but I had the freedom of hopping on my bike and just taking off in the streets. So

I think siblings play an important role here. More than a few times I remember going out and having no one to play with but my brother, only to be joined later on by other kids. Moreover, I can only assume that it was through me that my bro

+1. I'm from Mexico, where houses tend to be smaller and more tightly packed. There's essentially no yards or large patios, so not only do you live closer to other kids, but you're kinda forced to play in the shared street sp

+1, this comment is spot on. I'd also add, it feels both more useful yet not utilitarian. When I first saw the iPhone 6 the design struck me as lousy. It feels great in the hand and the hardware is top-notch, but it definitely felt lik

Oh, go figure. I stand corrected on my first point about immediate platform lock-in. Longer-term, I still believe Apple is refraining of heavily supporting the web to keep overall control of its platforms.

In the short-term, micro context, like most exclusive Apple apps, it's one more reason to buy Apple devices and lock existing users into upgrading to Apple devices. Switching apps is a hassle, especially if there's no easy ways to

Sorry, it was a typo. I was using Chrome 71 when I bumped back into acid3, and the original title read "Chrome 71". After checking in other browsers I edited the title but missed the 71. Fixed! TGIF

I bumped into the acid3 test, and I noticed it didn't pass in Chrome anymore. Would anyone have any context as to why this is? It's a little bit odd to me that backwards compatibility was broken in at least 3 ways here.

Not only does it not answer to the public, it goes a step further-- one that can be sued by it's shareholders if it acts against their interests (ei, yield a profit).
