I don't think you'll see this be the default experience across Apple devices for quite some time. I don't think even the iPad Pro will have this edge-to-edge screen for at least a couple years – the home button is not dead.

The bar is as low as today's iPhone home button. I have a strong feeling you will hardly ever reach it by accident, considering scrolling from a point that low is unnatural and uncomfortable. Also, there is always a big obvious bar dow

I'm sure Amazon would be happy to sponsor a little league team. Sponsoring a city in the same way is to then be responsible for people who don't even work for you. It's much better for Amazon to stake its flag in a city that

Still, despite the size of metro Detroit, I think it's 100% off the table for Amazon's HQ2. The positive side of it is, sure, Amazon could own Detroit like vintage Ford – that's neat but I don't think Amazon wants that.

Because the iPhone 7 was released a year ago, and people are generally over it now. I say people, not enthusiasts. Now, the feature can be released in the iPhone 8 and it's not a big deal.

In grocery stores there are basically two ways items get shelved and stocked. For bigger brands (Lays for instance) the truck drivers will actually bring the stock to the aisles and shelve them according to how Lays wants it done. Grocery s

I usually have less than 5 tabs open at any time. Side tabs are a huge waste of space for me.

This is great. I wonder though, how much could you achieve just by creating 1 blanket rule: change every instance on a page of "position: fixed" to "position: absolute" - layout and nav should be more or less the same, a

I agree that anyone pumping serious money into VR right now is either misguided or overly optimistic. The adoption rate has flattened, the hardware and software are both lacking innovation, and the costs to enter the market for consumers ar

In reference to the OP topic, I'm curious... How often do you use your echo as a Q&A device? Or is it just for media and assistant like functions (alarms, shopping, etc)?

I also get tab-induced anxiety. I have to close them and organize them when it gets ~10 or I can't keep browsing. On the other hand, my desktop is an unorganized mess of random files...

Go into a restaurant or small shop during the 3 hours between 2pm and 5pm, and you can see they might as well be closed (generally). Restaurants refer to those hours specifically as "dead hours" in my experience.
