If they were able to achieve better performance than Vine on Android (said another way: if it's usable), then they could make headway in the Android market share. I hope that's the case, because I eventually uninstalled Vine on my

I think the reality is they will slowly reintroduce the features they've now taken away. Or perhaps none of those features have been taken away, and they're just adding new ones that allow for play w/o an internet connection.

Heh, I walked into that one, but I think my point still stands: the problem you linked to is one of policy. And the solution is to find a better one.

I don't find this to be an extremely compelling point, though. There's infinite bad things that can be committed by anyone, from the government or otherwise, where the only thing preventing it is policy and procedure. The only thi

The relevant distinction involves defining where the assumption of privacy exists. And I don't claim to know exactly where the line is (or should be) drawn.

If we're talking about the same question, he was asked if the NSA collects data of millions Americans, to which he answered in the negative. This information from Facebook does not contradict that statement. And to me, that's an

That foreignness should go away with time. I'm sure plenty of people were offput by people wearing glasses when they were first introduced to society at large.

I'm sorry, but this blog post is suggesting I should have a big shiny button at the top of my email inbox that will show me "Promotions" from Google Offers and Zagat (also owned by Google). That rubs me the wrong way.
226.
by moskie 13y ago
I suppose. But the weird aspect here is the prominence of the button. The point of filtering out spam (given the more pleasant name "Promotions" now) is to put it into a place where it won't bother me. Now, they're suggesting I have a big f

Yes, I would like to keep them separate, but I would not like to have a big prominent link to them at the top of my inbox. See the labels listed in the mobile app screenshot ("Family," "Fun," "School")? I (and most other people, I would thi

Sure, but communications are also important. If this post is giving an incorrect impression of these new features, there might be something for all of us to learn about how to communicate things to our customers.

Ok, I see what you're saying. I guess that pic just comes off as being in poor taste in this post then. Because, in reality, those are not the tabs normal people would set up. So I began to question what the point of the feature was. Is it

by moskie 13y ago
It comes off as something being masked as a "feature," when in actuality it is just something that is trying to get me to spend money. It seems like it blurs the line between the "content" of my inbox and advertising.
231.
by moskie 13y ago
It's not available to me yet, so I'm not sure how exactly it works.... but their example pic showing "Promotions" as one of the tabs is pretty disheartening. The post here says it's customizable, so I hope that is not mandatory.

He's just making a joke about the naming of the Xbox consoles. What would you call the original Xbox (that came out in 2001)? Some might have called it the Xbox 1. But now Microsoft decided to call the new console the "Xbox One." So, what's

Perhaps I'm thinking too narrowly, but I don't see how these points apply to ASP.Net (whether it's MVC or web forms). I've always thought of ASP.Net as the most successful section of the .net framework, with native application capabilities

Comparing these rooms to solitary confinement is pretty stupid. You can't leave solitary confinement whenever you want (hence, "confinement").

"because the accounts favorite a tweet of theirs." I think this is incorrect. The intended purpose of "Favorites" is to communicate that a living, breathing person (as opposed to an "account," as you describe) saw my tweet, enjoyed it, and
