Sounds good. Between the restricted profiles in 4.3 and this it's finally reasonable to hand the tablet over to a child. Beyond this, I'd really like to see something added to provide a straightforward alternative to ad-support fo

Interesting, I figured something was up when the landing page changed. Several of the new/upcoming features of Flow are precisely what I asked for while using the service. If I'd gotten some sort of acknowledgement of that feedbac

I use Safari heavily and I've been hoping some sort of competitor would come along. It's not that that I dislike Safari, merely that I expect competition would push for a better product. The interface has barely changed in as long

On the Android side I used PocketCasts as well. I certainly can't call it awesome - more like limited and unstable, but still better than the alternatives.

Very nice. I'm sure I'm not alone in having kicked around ideas for something like this for a long time. Comparing PC builds has been an informal competition / game on various forums for many years. I expect having more in th

The power of framing is fascinating stuff. Running through a chain of articles and excerpts from Lakoff and Luntz one week seemed to work wonders for making sense of difficult sociopolitical conversations with certain friends.

This would be really interesting with some sort of selector to see how the costs and relative balance would change by region/state. For instance, in the DC area it would be far more - probably nearly double for housing, utilities and e
