I don't think it's important that just any app is "skirting the store" (plenty do that already, it's not an issue). What is interesting is that Facebook is doing it. Auto Updates are part of the Android store already, so this doesn't even o

This might be a little naive, but I'll ask. I'm completely unaware of games, or any software, that is sold specifically for Linux (sold, being the keyword here). I've never installed Linux and purchased software for it. So, my question, doe

They seem to be implying that Digg was too big to fail, from an SEO standpoint. "But it only takes a couple clicks to realize all of the archives are gone. All of them. All of the Ron Paul idolatry. All of the ASCII facepalms. All of the li
