Are you serious? I see 5 symbols up there. First is a box, for selecting mail. Next to it is an arrowed circle for refresh. No Problem yet. After that it's 'More', which is text. No problem telling the difference there. The others are eon t

99% market penetration is a bullshit statistic, it completely ignores mobile which is the fastest growing method for accessing the web.

Edit: I now find out that wladimir has had this idea and shipped code on the same idea: https://github.com/driverdan/dropship I have wondered for a while if it could be done without the API by hooking into whatever checksumming is done be

If you're giving it away for free, it's not a product. The product is the advertising. It's the only significant thing they sell.

I would disagree that Google's core product is a combination. It's just advertising. Everything else leads to that: search, profiling, Chrome, Android, everything.

Apple engineers specifically recommend against reimplementing the movie player UI as well.

> Will this also increase the piracy number of paid apps? Yes, also expect product piracy ('recreated' apps by Chinese developers using stolen assets). We have had this happen already, and Apple have been shoddy at responding to it.
