There are exceptions to every "rule," if you can even consider this a rule. When publishing to the App Store, the form says your app name must be between 2-255 characters, and it cannot match a name that already exists. So if you

This is the best case of "competition is good for consumers" I've seen. Google Maps has such a head start compared to anyone else, and is the de facto way many people navigate; Apple Maps has only been able to catch up in the

Since I created my account in 2009, nothing really happened on Twitter week-to-week, month-to-month, even year-to-year. Fundamentally, the site was mostly the same, and most new updates were either logical or non-important. We went from usi

I feel like a lot of these features would bode well on the operating system level, rather than the browser level. If I’m someone who uses the same device for both work and personal use, I’m going to want more changes than just which bookmar

I remember when it was a fairly safe assumption that almost all content would end up on Netflix in time, with only a few odd-balls going to Hulu. Now with the big players — Disney, NBCuniversal, HBO, and Paramount — all having their own str

An easy way would be to calculate your speed ahead of time. If I’m going 55 mph (90 km/h), there’s a loud noise, and the phone gets jolted a bit, then it can check the distance it’s traveled for the next 3-4 seconds. If it’s clear that
