First they did it with the roadtrip range calculations and now this one. Credibility is hard earned easily lost you know.

Not blaming you. You did what you were paid to do. What I am disappointed at is the fact that Google chose to only open the code that it HAD to do. It did choose the mechanism that made it easier to consume but that is besides the point. No

must be the case otherwise why would they not release the Glass platform code? The kernel code is not that interesting anyways.

It is sad to see Google get into the technicalities of things rather than doing the right thing in the spirit of doing so.

Even if they did, they probably don't add to the 1B figure as they are free

This takes what Windows Phone did with People hub and applies it to the whole phone instead of restricting it to an area of the phone. Of course people hub brought over people from twitter, linkedin, etc. as well so is much more comprehensi

Dismissing Microsoft's metro design by calling Windows 8 is a typical example of a straw man that you get to see here on HN. Flat design as it is done in the Metro UI on Windows 8 is gorgeous particularly on touch based machines. The fact t

It will be nice if this surfaces as an RSS feed rather than an email.

I think this may sound crazy but android's days as a apremium OS are not as secure as they seem. Take Samsung out of the android picture and you will see that there is barely any device maker that is leading charge. Add to that the pressure

We have seen this movie before. Remember when HP bought Palm/WebOS? The intentions look good on paper but for a hardware company, it is hard to try and create an ecosystem by throwing money at it. And Blackberry is to even a pure software c

How does this compare to the optical image stabilization on Nokia Lumia 920?

A quote worth noting from the article: "Some of these issues - such as the "infinite history" or the antiquated style of process isolation - may be driven by Google's business needs, rather than the well-being of the Internet as a whole. Un

Actually for Microsoft a tablet was always a fully capable computer. It's apple who came up with a big iPod touch and started calling it a tablet.

Windows phone does this unification in a way that works better for me. All messages (sms, chat, facebook messages) are together All emails are together All social walls (facebook, twitter, linkedin, etc) are together. You can switch the co

I'm sure it will expand over time in multiple industries. Think Kinect. It started as a gaming device but is also starting to be used in physiotherapy and other medical applications.

Agree the cloud integration looks quite useful. I'd love to just open and save files directly to SkyDrive and have that list of recent files available to me in any office client I use. This is an awesome functionality. Worth 2.5 years or no

Are you saying that the charges made Nokia impossible to succeed? What about the patent fees android OEMs have to pay?

Here's what: * awesome camera * screen. better visibility in sun and ability to use with gloves on * Windows Phone OS (This is debatable but I love it. Kids corner, people centric tiles, etc.) * Office integration. This is killer. Sometime

You should seriously try out the Lumia 920 then.

nothing funny. Windows phone already has nice bing maps and nokia maps integration so nobody needed Google maps. But that's not the point...

The reason chrome was not supported earlier is probably because OWA possibly used some arcane and non-standard IE features that were lacking in chrome. Also AFAIK it never blocked the OWA outright (by redirecting to some other url instead)

AFAIK, IE10 on mobile has the same JS engine as the desktop one. What data you have to say that it is slow? This benchmark says its the fastest: http://crockford.com/javascript/performance.html Besides how do you explain the uk site that

> On the one hand, this isn't really any different than Microsoft not supporting Office on Chromium. How's that the same? Web is a agreed upon standard. An OS is not.
