"Integration" may benefit Google at first. You have think of the possibilities though if that integration is available to any developer. Google is good at a number of apps but not all. On Android, a lot of core functionalities built by Goog

It is pretty easy to dismiss that what Google, Facebook & Twitter are not that important. These companies have impact that are not easily measured. Google gave people knowledge at their fingertips while Facebook and Twitter have become

Having a working app on the Play Store is good for developers. Even if the app doesn't get a lot of downloads, they can at least show the app to prospective employers. For the Campbell Hackathon, developer has nothing to show since API acce

It goes both ways. Until recently, there were an avalanche of positive stories about Apple. Some of it are overstated. What did the author think of too much positive news about Apple back then? He's only reacting now because it's negative.

Well, if what you're saying is true, I guess tech blogs and Hacker News are just freaking out over nothing. If it's indeed old, the timing is suspect since Google just avoided sanctions from the FTC. MS lobbied hard to get Google penalized.

If that's the case, that's a big discrepancy from Comscore which pegs IPhone at 35%. http://mashable.com/2013/01/04/apple-smartphone-market-share...

So what if Blackberry launches on Feb 1 where it sold more than the IPhone 5 that day? Would you say that the Blackberry has the biggest market share?

I'm getting confused with all these stats but it's just sloppy reporting by the tech press. This writer didn't even mention that this is just new smartphone sales instead of overall shares. I thought VentureBeat is one of the better ones. I

My main # now is Google Voice. For the past 4 years, there was just 2 instances that I needed MMS. What's frustrating though is the inability of Google Voice to receive SMS from short codes. Craigslist and Paypal also don't verify accounts

I didn't know about this. It would have been better if I didn't need to launch Itunes though.

Can you show me something that Google shared publicly (or your friends) that you didn't do yourself? I have a Google+ account. Posts show up on my profile because I shared it publicly myself. None of my search results, YouTube views, Email

Wow. So much anger from people here just for Google asking to create a G+ profile. Is it really that bad? Google is a free service that we reap a lot of benefits from. We have a lot of software engineers here. Google is indispensable follow

It's because it's from another seller. If you look on the right side, you'll see $250 from Amazon but it's out of stock.

Yeah it's cached by Facebook. That's why if you want to change your meta and/or open graph tags info, you need to feed your page to Facebook's Url Linter ( https://developers.facebook.com/tools/lint/ ).

It looks like there isn't much downloads for blog-specific magazines on Android. Engadget's Distro app only has 50K+ downloads.

So why do you think then that they should offer a Write API? Shouldn't they put a lot of thought on their API offering so it won't be shut down in the future?

Remember what happened with Google Buzz? It's pretty much a mirror of a user's Twitter/Facebook stream. My Google+ network doesn't have much activity relative to Twitter/FB but I still visit it once a day because the content is mostly uniqu

Seriously, has anybody claimed that a service is completely free? Who in their right mind would give something completely free, no strings attached? Start acknowledging? I'm pretty sick of people mumbling "If you're not paying for a product
