That's not my experience at all. I get that "Install our app" popup on Android when loading many forum/discussion-type sites. And it's really goddamn annoying.

This is funny to me in an admittedly schadenfreude kind of way, as I've had to deal with their false positive system before, and it was an exercise in frustration. In short, one of my products is a guild hosting system for games like WoW. O

I have to agree with this sentiment. My personal anecdote is more that I have a handful of better computers in the house, but the laptop I spend the most time working and programming with is my crappy 8-year old gateway running Ubuntu. I'm

As excited I am for The Hobbit, I'm also leery of the 48fps. If you've ever noticed the difference between watching movies on a 120Hz/240Hz, it's definitely extremely noticeable and distracting. It makes movies look like reality TV. Why th
