I believe the fragmentation issue is going to take a lot longer to solve than the author leads on. Android is rooted in its open nature, and it's what caused the proliferation of the OS in the first place. It's going to take much

To me this seems like a poor analogy. It's the evolution of technology. Print first, terminal first, desktop first, web first, mobile first, AI first, quantum first, etc, etc. Mobile is exponentially easier than it was in 2007. Machine

I'd say he missed out on an opportunity to use that button to build a viral feedback loop! I honestly thought it was an "email to friends" button.

I'm super excited about this. I'd love to see a serious collection of apps/extensions for the platform. I love the ecosystem around gmail, but I despise using their web-ui. I'd love to have the flexibility baked into a m

We're adding more inventory regularly and Canada is pretty high on the priorities. I'd love to discuss and get more feedback from you if you're open to it. Thanks!

There is always the case for non-optimal pricing caused by a significant layover potentially combined with large repositioning costs. Again, I'd love the chance to take a look at your specific searches to see what's happening.

Thanks for the feedback! We're working on a more elegant solution to handle the alternate airports, balanced field length, etc. We're erring on the safe side right now, but there are always these edge cases. As far as the prices,

With a formal education in biology, I've always thought the industry was much like the computer industry a few decades ago. Jobs & Gates arguably took something that was limited to corporations and Universities, and brought it to t

That's astonishing. I'd be interested in seeing some more statistics on the amount of lobbying vs market size compared to other industries (e.g. Transportation, Hospitality, Pharma).
