Beats it in how easy it is to create, yes. But HTML5 is cross platform, and if done properly, the speed differences are not noticeable to the human eye. In fact, "Fastbook" is proof that an HTML5 app can be FASTER than it's iOS counterpart.

This is lame. Just do it®. Why does a certain time of year matter? Start whenever. Finish whenever.

When you combine Siri, Find My Friends, and other built-in Apple apps, as well as 3rd party, I'm not convinced Google Now does anything new. If you really want to know how your favourite sports team is doing, you can just ask Siri "How are

Beautiful. I fear this is a story about the OLD America, before The Right took intellectual control. Most Americans now believe that welfare is a handout to the lazy, as though the poor chose to be so, and would rather receive than work. Bu

I think the arbitrary choice of 48fps is the problem. I know it's easier to down-convert to 24, but it seems 48 just isn't right for our eyes. The human eye can process about 60fps. I love the idea of more frames, but 60fps might be better,

Real, peer-reviewed, science, can't prove (or disprove) there is a god. But science has proven that if there IS a "design," it's far from intelligent.

Pretty cool idea.

lol Too true. It's inevitable that any free internet service will have to make money somehow - and if the only asset they have are photos you uploaded, well, they'll use them.

Finally a good explanation of error handling in node.js. Cheers!

I'd say the problems the Facebook team ran into were related to the universal difficulties of HTML5 development. The tools are nothing compared to native app development. In making native apps, developers can visually create the GUI, double

Awesome. Apple Stores are now the most profitable in America: http://mashable.com/2012/08/15/apple-stores-infographic/

Hopefully. If mobile OS makers put more effort into making browser execution as fast as native (well, almost as fast), then we'll see more native apps.

Very good point. I think Apple will eventually allow changing default apps, but I doubt they will ever be forced to do so. The iPhone is miles away from a monopoly, and getting even further each day.

Interesting, as this weakens Apple's App Store. If I can get all App Store apps, and MORE, from Facebook, why go to Apple at all? An anecdotal observation: my step mom has an iPad for 2 years and has gone into the App Store maybe 3 times (a

If the ticket's purchased on the iPhone in a browser, the developer could make Passbook pop up right then and there. The complication is getting tickets on the iPhone that were purchased on other platforms. Yes, email would solve this, and

Email idea is okay. But keep in mind, Passbook IS able to function in a lot of great ways, but just isn't implemented by most developers. For example, American Airlines COULD ask for your email, and mail you a link that creates the Passbook
