Yup. The Facebook Home pretty much communicates directly with the Facebook App which has all the permissions needed to be a Home Replacement/Launcher. This is why Facebook Home does not need any permissions. https://play.google.com/store/a

I tried using Facebook and it wants me to create a Profile! I want to post a tweet but Twitter wants me to create a Profile!

Dude, seriously, it's time to move on. You don't need to bring up Google Reader everytime Google launches a product.

I just don't see a forked Android mainly because Facebook doesn't have the app ecosystem yet that could replace the default Google apps. These apps will not be available for a forked Android OS. I think this is the reason why there isn't an

"Come see our new home on Android" to me seems like Facebook is releasing a home screen replacement than an actual phone. There are a bunch of apps like these such as Nova and Go Launcher.

This is what I call being entitled. You get free same-day delivery but it's not enough, he needs more than that.

Another thing that Facebook is doing is running a background service on your phone to track your location. I went to a restaurant. Didn't open the Facebook app while I was there. When I accessed Facebook on my desktop, the first thing it sh

"Current devices in the car cannot cover the centre of your view with some graphics." Have you seen the Glass videos? The screen is on the top right of your view.

I'm sorry. You can combine all of them and they are still not as useful Google Reader & Blocked Sites. #sarcasm.

30M is a fraction of the total mobile phone users. I could argue that it's possible that Evernote could get 100 million users if it's more more simple.

Ok. If you build an app on top of the Real-time API and I use it, can you guarantee me that you will maintain the app as long as the API is live?

Man, lots of downvotes. I guess it's bad to expect anything good from HN users.

Google never get feedback from users. They don't even beta test when they build products.

Never heard of TamperMonkey before. It looks like you can replicate it there but it's not straightforward. I'd rather use his extension.

I read the book "In The Plex". A lot of academicians joined Google mainly because they wanted to get an actual product/service out into the hands of people instead of just doing research or writing papers. I have a different reaction than y

It's not all of a sudden. You have to click "Install" for it to be downloaded on your phone. It's not automatic.

"There are only three meaningful things you can do with a computer with specs like this: development, design, or gaming. And yet ChromeOS can't do any of these things." If ChromeOS wants to do these things, they need something like Pixel. Y

Bullshit? You didn't really disprove my point. Samsung, Sony, etc won't be able to make a decent OS but they'd still make an OS that they have some control over. Why the hell would phone manufacturers use an OS that they can't customize and

No. Buy a device for what it is capable of doing in the future. You buy a computer with faster processor so it can support applications in the future. The Pixel will be the same a year or so from now. I don't think the hardware is upgradabl

I agree it doesn't make sense. Unless Google announces something in the near future that would make it more than just a web-browsing device...

If Google restricted Android from the beginning, it won't even reach 10% market share. Manufacturers would not adapt a platform that would not allow them to customize and differentiate from their competitors. What would have happened is we'

If you talk to the members of the Google Glass Team, they actually tell you that the device is not to augment reality at all. Google Glass augmenting reality was coined by the press. That should give you an idea where Google is heading with

Did you build SoundGecko or you built a Hacker News channel on SoundGecko? It's a cool service. Right now, I send articles to Pocket so it can be read to me.
