I think this campaign is aimed at the wrong company.

If this is true. I saw this coming. The story of Gary McKinnon gave me this feeling. Also the constant Chinese hacker issue and reports from the Obama administration on how low-tech the White House is added to that feeling.

CNET claimed that they have an insider that stated that the XBox One has a publishing environment similar to the XBox 360 where only large companies can submit apps. Hopefully this is changed before the Build conference comes around.

"so if you want to release your app on four platforms you need to test it four times." Wouldn't submitting 4 separate apps require the same amount of attention (if not more)?

"Announce Windows Phone 7. No multitasking despite all competitors having it, no application fast resume. No major applications that competitors have. No turn by turn directions. No front-facing camera." Honestly I think Windows Phone 7 was

I think the silliest thing Microsoft did with the XBox One (and Windows Phone 8) was give it a separate app store from Windows 8. In technology, it runs a version of Windows 8 under the hood for apps Microsoft pretty much admitted this, and

The thing that bothers me the most about this is that Microsoft pretty much confirmed yesterday that the XBox One is running some form of the Windows Runtime. (Source: http://www.engadget.com/2013/05/21/xbox-one-runs-three-opera... ) So if

I think it'd be cool as long as it doesn't reduce the amount of money that the video uploaders can make off of it. It'd just be more cash to fuel game development.

"Although Google Keep is a cool web application, and offers a native Android app as well, it lacks text formatting feature and the simplicity of Scratchpad. Keep is not a perfect replacement for the Scratchpad." I can't say we really lost m

I've been wondering why this hasn't been done yet. Their game being coded in Java should make it easy to port to many different platforms seeing as there's a library or framework for almost anything Java. I don't play RuneScape but I'm happ

I see it more likely being a fork of Firefox OS or something new that takes the same route. All Facebook should need is a browser for their OS, if they provide a browser as good as or better than Chrome for Android they should be fine. The

Android provides this for some features but not all. The problem is if an app requests too many permissions it gets messy to just show a pop-up dialog for each and every one. This is the reason why Google Chrome and Firefox started working

They could store music locally using the File System API and Encrypted Media Extensions (to make the labels happy), but seeing as no one has done this before it probably won't happen for a while.

Some Chrome apps aren't just a few specific browser features though, they're literally full packages that you download that have the ability to go through your files, run native code, access to bluetooth, USB, the ability to embed a WebView

This article misses one interesting point. Tizen, Firefox OS, Ubuntu Linux and Open WebOS are all HTML5 based OSes, most if not all of the apps are web apps. I doubt that companies with large investments in browser technology like Google, A

I think the problem with Linux was that it has no argument for it. Everything is just "it's just like Windows and Mac OS, except it's not" and not always equates to "free, open source, no cost, no licence fees, customizable, faster, etc..."

A funny thing about that notion. Blackberry OS, Ubuntu and Samsung Tizen all treat web apps as first class citizens providing JavaScript APIs to access native functions. (Chrome OS, WebOS, Firefox OS, and Windows 8 also do this and I think
