   Yes, of course, but that’s a tautology. What would the first goal achieve over running the Twitter app on my phone?

   What is the difference then if you are still using proprietary services that run proprietary code, just on a different CPU? You are not gaining anything from the change other than the inconvenience of "pretty good" web application

   The link says I can't use it because it's a Chrome app, which, as far as I know, is nothing more than a website artificially constrained so that I can't use it on an iPad or any browser that is not Chrome. This seems worse th

   Seems plausible, so much so that this is also what the article is saying.

   Yes, of course. I didn’t say the feature shouldn’t be there, I said that multi-monitor was broken only for fullscreen, so “Mavericks adds multi-monitor support” is a slight overstatement. But yeah, I see people have strong feelings about th

   I honestly don’t get the fuss about multi-monitor support. Mavericks doesn’t add multi-monitor support, it’s always been there. What Mavericks does is fix multi-monitor behavior for fullscreen applications, which I personally would never us

    I'm not one to overly worry about data collection, but there is a difference between giving all your data to the same company and different data to different companies. Consider the reactions when Google itself changed their T&C to

    The author is running iOS 7, so his iPod Touch was already a "free" wifi phone, using FaceTime Audio.

    That is usually an indication of someone knowing what they are talking about: they know there is no black and white easy answer to most issues (not always true though: they may also be a politician).

    I don't think it's fair to call dark pattern an unlimited free trial. He's selling it but allows you to try it, he's not deceiving you into paying for something that is free.

    Is it really useful to whine about this? A word gets adopted to describe something that would need a sentence, that's fine even if the word has other meanings and gets distorted. It's like AJAX ten years ago when people bitched th
