I downvoted you because you've repeatedly complained about the same thing on several stories for a while now. Pinch zoom gets disabled to remove the 300ms delay on mobile-friendly pages, and that's seems to be what most people wan

As long as businesses keep buying Office for desktop, does that matter? Is there a mobile platform that is displacing Office or Outlook/Exchange that they're failing to compete with? http://www.tannerhelland.com/49

Compound words can cause the same consumer confusion, which is why I don't see it as any different from one word. You'll definitely get a call from corporate counsel if you launch a truck called the F-151, a burger named the Huge

There's also a big trend of Let's Play videos -- people watching other people play video games on YouTube. Don't have time/money/patience/skills to play GTA V? Just watch someone else play it, start to finish.

Sorry, this makes no sense. Economic impact is measured in revenue to local businesses. Unless the NFL/team owns all of the local retail, restaurants, tolls, parking lots, tourism and associated taxes, there is no way the NFL/team

Upvote for trying something. I do think there are serious trust issues, though. As the seller/traveller, I don't want to get screwed in terms of time and money. It's a hassle to around my city to pick up an item, and then to

Android still wins in sheer installed base. I believe all the metrics still show that iOS users -- on average -- use more data, buy more stuff, and install more apps than Android users, but there are still fewer of them. I don't have a

I would say that the low quality of WP apps is a separate failing of Microsoft's. In other words, their decision to focus on app counts in consumer marketing didn't force a consequence of low quality.

Apple, in its position of strength, made the game all about app counts. Year after year, they updated the total app count no matter how trivial the app, and declared victory over Google, Microsoft, Palm, and BlackBerry. Microsoft has been b

I frequently prefer FB Messenger because it is both desktop (web) and mobile, and it handles media. There are other cross-platform messaging services like Google Hangouts (GChat/GTalk), but I still can't attach a photo. Or there a

I meant that the livery is evergreen, and isn't "Good luck at Super Bowl XLVIII!" They can fly it for years and it won't be dated. > Plain white, and weathered Maybe it needed a paint job anyway.

Boeing a sponsor of the Seahawks, and the aircraft is a freighter owned by Boeing and used for testing (equipment? possibly used to haul parts?). The livery doesn't appear to be just for the Superbowl, so it's probably a permanent

This is exactly what makes Snapchat fun and addictive. It takes all the friction out of taking photos and boils it right down. With Instagram, you spend a lot of time taking the right photo, the right lighting, the right filter, the right c

That would be worth exploring, but the cost of developing a drug is astronomically high: "The average drug developed by a major pharmaceutical company costs at least $4 billion, and it can be as much as $11 billion." http:/&

The challenge for SnapChat is to shift from novelty and entertainment to utility. Facebook was fun early on, especially when adding friends and reconnecting with old ones that you hadn't talked to in 10+ years. However, it's shift
