Internet.org is currently offered on only one carrier (Reliance) and this is a clear net neutrality violation. Even if it were offered on all carriers, this is a violation. Also, this is hypocritical since FB supports NN in US! What's

I think the benefit is that the iPhone has sensors that can collect lots of data. For example, the Perkinson's(?) app makes you tap on two targets quickly and say "aaaaa" for long and analyzes the ups and downs in vocal cords

Came here thinking exactly this. Lot of us are in situations where time matters quite a bit. After trying some solutions, it is best to ask someone. People asking how to do something when they haven't tried can get irritating sometimes

Since he was talking about slow connections, and I have seen YouTube issues on slow connections, here are two main issues: 1. The bandwidth switching is really messed up. When I'm playing something and it has buffered, let's say a

India is a strange place in regards to pricing! I have no idea how Apple manufactures iPhone in China, sells it for $650 in US but will sell same one for ~$900 here. They are saving transportation costs as we are right next to China. Maybe

But half of the internet was saying that it is dead. I was using ST2 till a month back, switched and I liked it immediately. They're already working on roadmap for 4, hopefully this will reach stable soon.

My experience with multiple tabs has been same. In my exeprience (and I read somewhere as well), Chrome shows up UI faster, then responds after 2-3 seconds. Firefox is respnsive from start. Multiple tab management with Panorama is much bett

This is a very important point. I switched to Firefox mainly due to intertial scrolling and better fonts (Chrome looks crap till this 37 beta and needs a flag). Extensions are more powerful on Firefox but I think they are coplicated as well

I'd love that as well. But the killer feature that Basecamp has for me is that you can reply to their emails. Half of my clients have created initial accounts and haven't logged back after that. Yet, they can communicate. If this

Depends which country's reasonable you are talking about. In my country, broadband is anything more than 256 kbps! So, to call their services broadband, almost all providers drop speed after FUP limit (anywhere from 8-200 GB) to 256kbp

I'm not sure if they can compete with Amazon. They're losing money and competing with Amazon which has deeper pockets. Right now, their prices are higher and I can find (and have found) better deals on either Amazon or Snapdeal. A

I think internet was the real game changer. Once bandwidth got good enough for downloading software, it got easier to sell and patch anything. I can't imagine living 7-8 months without patches. AppStore is definitely a step up, but it

A progress and time tracker like Habit RPG and Rescue Time that tracks number of hours spent towards a habit/skill. Basically, something that can track where you are on 10,000 hours rule. More automation is better!
