   What I don't understand is why the App needs the info, wouldn't it make more sense to change the API so it's just a call to /users?near={co-ord} and a simple list of users is returned without any location information? Su

   Might be an idea to allow you to share your score to your timeline - a great way of doing this is via a screenshot, you'll need to write some code in Unity to actually take the screenshot, but the Unity SDK handles the upload of it nat

   I think this is brilliant, but is slamming Apple's iOS approval process with *candy titles really the best way? Isn't there are risk that you are flooding it and causing delays for (sorry for the phrasing) legitimate developers in

   Should probably stop calling it "Porn Filter" it's kind of playing in to it. Customer: "Hi, I can't access some websites" ISP: "Oh, we see you have the PORN FITLER enabled. You mean YOU WANT TO WATCH PORN

   A standard answer to "why?" is "why not?", or "because we can" but I really can't see any benefit to this? Is cosplay a thing for cars now?

    No. Map data wouldn't be very useful in an RSS format :) I mean more services and sites should provide APIs to provide access to the DATA. While twitter have somewhat recanted on this recently, the ability for anyone to create a twitte

    This article seems to make the assumption that a web browser and the open web are the same thing. Personally, I've always wished more sites would just publish raw data without markup and allow me to determine how I read it, to me that&

    I think with the revival of VR tech (Oculus Rift) games like Myst might come back round. Actually the thought of a Myst-esque game on the Rift sounds like something I could lose a lot of time playing.

    Absolutely, but every post like this is followed by a nay-saying comments. This is a step in the right direction for China, why tarnish a positive with a tangentially related negative, sarcastic and dismissive comment? Furthermore the 500 l

    It's crazy expensive, I bought a full electric scooter for around about 500 EUROS. China has a wealth of e-bikes in a variety of styles for far, far less. http://s.taobao.com/search?spm=a230r.1.4.5.oBHcUe&q=electric

    An option to override this is a must, I frequently use VPNs and as a result appear in many different countries through-out the day - It's bad enough with google repeatedly blocking my accounts for suspicious logins, without having to w

    Making the UX/UI changes mentioned in this article, would be a bit like a shop owner telling me how expensive their shop is, or how much I've previously spent in their shop every time I went in... I'm not really sure how that

    I'm in the same boat - thankfully I'm signed up for a year... but not being able to renew easily sounds like it could become a PITA. I've tried using AWS + OpenVPN in the past, but really life is too short to maintain your ow

    I make time, for a while I found the only time I had was an hour in the morning - so I did my gym workout then, and then went to work. Things have settled down a bit since then. I've been with my girlfriend since before my career so I can't

    BBC is only entirely 'non-profit' within the confines of the UK. Flip on a VPN and you hit the BBC World version of the BBC news, complete with adverts. Besides which, competition is healthy - so I applaud the creation of another another no
