I use the Mac App Store for many of the apps I use because I trust it more than apps downloaded from random websites, and I like background updates. The problems with the App Store lie on the developer side — sandboxing, restrictive submiss

Most smartphones in Iraq probably have 4–16gb of storage, and 64gb flash storage would be prohibitively expensive for most Iraqis. The English Wikipedia is 60gb, but that's without _any_ multimedia. The total size of all media in Wikim

It's not that easy to compare the two. With WhatsApp, if you know the phone number of the person you want to contact, then you can send them a message or call them via WhatsApp. Both users need to have WhatsApp installed, but this is n

How did they manage to accomplish this? Did they need cooperation from Google to do this, and to what extent?
