Don't see any kind of FAQ or further information. Would be nice to have that at the bottom of the page. Does it work throughout the US? Square Cash doesn't work in a few states.

"Quip now runs on 76% of the world's smartphones and tablets"...this doesn't say "Quip is now installed on" for a reason. According to these ICT estimates, 38% of the population will have PCs in 2013, which wou

Why is that more useful than having a shortcut for Dash? I've always just used the shortcut and searched in Dash. Although, I do tend to stick to mostly one set of documentation.

Looks great! A couple things: - Instead of saying "subscribed" and "following" say "unsubscribe" and "unfollow" and change the colors (Twitter does it this way). That way I know what that button is go

I think you're spot on. Also, refer to last year's WWDC app. Everyone thought there would be a more silver like UIKit coming, but that didn't happen. I would guess that there was already pressure to remove some skeuomorphism at that point.

Maybe you are afraid Path is using location services in the background or have some other reason to fear that Path is improperly requesting your current location. This does NOT imply that you don't want Path to have EXIF location data from

You are not granting them access to your current location...you are granting them access to the photo's location. Facebook and Twitter also makes available the location of your photos. Is there a particular reason you are singling out Path?

Seems much less readable and I wasn't particularly thrilled with the reasoning that it was "more modern" than the previous font. Readability is more important to me in a news app than modern font choice.

Prismatic is an awesome service. I've really enjoyed using it for the past few months. It's nice to see a mobile application so I can be just as obsessed with it on the go. However, I agree with rabidsnail, I think the multitude of unique g

Here are my first thoughts on these (and, admittedly, I skimmed through the post) - This argument is only valid on a surface level. It is extremely valuable to have experience in any field not necessarily because the details of doing busine

I've been using Cobook for several months now and absolutely love it. There's no better way to quickly get at your contacts. I'll be recommending it as much as possible now that it is easily accessible in the App Store.

Removing the repository URL is a terrible thing. That is a key piece of information that anyone trying to get started with a project needs to know. Maybe it could be hidden after you've pulled but it needs to be there in the beginning, at l

I reset my browser cache/cookies and that reset the Oauth token but once I login with Facebook it redirects me back to the "add to my profile" page where I choose that I'm a developer and it either kicks me to the same page as above or a pa

Definitely, but most everyday people still don't know what it does. The amount of people who are at least aware of what Facebook actually does is enormous.

This doesn't seem terribly surprising. Both Facebook and Apple are very polarizing companies. They have huge fans and also huge detractors. Google seems generally "useful" to everyone. They don't tend to have the same polarizing effect Face

This looks like a great solution to a problem I run into fairly frequently! I usually use something like Soulver to do the quick calculations but it quickly becomes difficult if everyone has ordered items at drastically different costs.

I use some logging apps regularly (The Eatery, Weightbot) but the apps have to be REALLY good for me to log things. (and even then it's hit or miss) It is way too much of a burden to manually log everything and I think solutions for these k

Parse's SDK makes the syncing significantly easier. I tried a combination of REST + CoreData and also a locally running version of CouchDB replicating with a CouchDB server. Parse was by far the simplest to implement and comparatively surpr

Agreed. I like to think they do it just so people aren't totally pre-occupied (listening to music, playing games, watching movies, etc.) during what is almost certainly the most likely period for incidents to occur.

The amount of time spent in this specific instance is irrelevant. The fact that they were interested enough to put any effort into such a trivial argument and the way they responded is the issue. This kind of response is a double-edged swor

Sure. You can argue the publicity was worth something but I am certainly turned off by the way they went about it. They could have mockingly made a fo-ZenDesk logo or any number of other things that didn't make it look like they are on the

I'm assuming this is trying to take advantage of the botched official Gmail app launch today. Not so sure I'm inclined to get too excited by 5 screen mockups, especially ones which have example labels of "bullshit".
