I don't doubt it's a fine line (though only for Kindle), but I do think it's at least arguable that as intrinsic as the store is to the product, the Kindle app is better described as "reads books" rather than "sales books". Of course, it wo

Arguably this is the -primary- purpose of neither of these apps. One directly allows the display and reading of books, whilst the other is primarily for, uhhh, browsing the web. The Kongregate app was much more clear-cut in providing a dist

The clause itself ( http://www.android.com/us/developer-distribution-agreement.h... ) reads: "4.5 Non-Compete. You may not use the Market to distribute or make available any Product whose primary purpose is to facilitate the distribution of

Anecdotally, something like 30% of my friends list (not particularly tech-savvy skewed) probably share their phone numbers. It's also one of the most useful features of the whole site, if I'm out somewhere and realise I suddenly need to cal

Pretty much. Of all the excuses people make to judge themselves superior and better than others, profession must surely be one of the most asinine.

Feeling superior, much?

I have several USB drives with at least the former feature.

I've been trying to find this out also. There's no indication that they are; but the only indication that they aren't was them saying that shorter passwords will be much less secure.

A Kindle is top of my hope-for list.

Couldn't agree more. Though the Carphone Warehouse website is still screaming "buy me, buy me" in a shrill voice.

It would seem quite a stretch to contribute this to vitamin D, though. What with the environment, amount of sunlight, culture, etc etc.

The site has been widely reported and officially confirmed elsewhere. But as you say, it's such a ridiculous country that it's likely impossible to parody in any meaningful way.

Genuinely confused about what you're doing to get this experience. It's almost all free; you just click and... it plays?

Their support for local music is still a bit second-rate, imo. Not least because of its lack of codec support.

Whilst the average quality on those boards is clearly much higher, the number of jobs being posted is about two orders of magnitude lower than mainstream jobsites; and until they gain more traction, they'll never be the first place I check

Here this would only be the case if the traffic had already been flowing for a certain minimum amount of time.

Though the ratio of "Dropped out" to "Graduated" is much higher than I thought it might be. As someone in the former group, almost reassuringly so.

Apps in the Market will naturally get more attention after they've been updated and appear in the "Just in" lists. So yes, it's a crude way of bumping the app a bit.

Large media companies such as News Corp seem exceptionally wary about advertising their revenue and profit margins; so it would have massively surprised me had they done this.

To me, it suggests that this is just a more controversial post than all-but-one other frontpage post; not necessarily more agreed with. The majority of posts that I've read, and certainly the more up-voted, seem to be those disagreeing (at

I'm not sure how well a CV review service would work alongside a reverse job application. I'm not so sure I'd want (possibly), old copies of my CV so readily available with suggested changes.

Whilst I'm pretty sure they're not using those b tags at the top for their semantic purpose (they're forming the cross thing that forms part of the background texture), b and i have both found their way back into HTML5 as fully acceptable a
