This is a little like a more extreme version of the smart TV situation: for the most part there are rarely prizes for coming second, so many people ignore the built in stuff. For many it would be better if they came without GPS and used the

I thought the recommendations are excellent for me. Plenty of useful feedback from other users here. The one idea I'd develop from what one other said was improving the results page descriptions. You could actually use a couple of ques

Agreed. But in combination with this, you could have the best of both worlds - I suspect Soli would read a much finer level of detail than anything ultra sound would, but this should give the haptic feedback that Soli lacked.

I'd second using selenium / webdriver for this. You wouldn't need a great deal of code to get the raw pixel data. The area I suspect will need thought is how one gives "value" to distinct colours. It's tempting

Well said! Clearly there are cultural differences in expectations here. I respect the way it works in the US, but i personally like the UK approach explained eloquently above, as I get just enough protection and no more. Avoiding being (ind

It seems recently like anything inbound to Google goes into /dev/null! A number of us have been trying to get a response regarding Google Apps accounts with Play Music, and we're paying customers. There's no response to

This is purely anecdotal, but I've seen a shift in behaviour where even people with these soft skills appear less willing to take the risk of using them. Too much focus of "must look like I'm working hard", so rush thing

Perhaps an elegant chatbot UI in the style of the film Her, signalling comprehension, attention or even emotions or with the gradient shift?

With a risk of stating the obvious, this is a double standard simply because there are two standards - one for Google and one for others. I can't speak for the poster you were replying to, but whilst I see it as logical self-interested

Looks excellent. My immediate thought was whether it could be developed to get one step ahead: actually flag up the "bad" behaviour when you're doing it, rather than afterwards when it's too late Obviously, that could so

Might it be better to hear Canonical's position before we all leap into how awful this is? Is there any particular policy they're on record as applying here?

My apologies if i missed a comment, but I'm surprised how few people support "giving it a go" and then deciding if it's good or bad. There's a multitude of user approaches, lots of people very touchy about their way

Looks really interesting. I'd done some preliminary investigation into whether this kind of concept might work for the style guide at my company, but I never got time to take it further. Is there any word on business model / the i

I love the phone design and i was naturally optimidtic on first reading through the site, but the negative comments on here brought me round to the point that this isn't solving a serious problem. If you want some potential evidence of

You've got to admire their honesty for not putting an image matching algorithm in to automatically say the founders are hot! https://goo.gl/photos/jv82LHNQKxrt1Ce88

Would echo several other comments herem. Am in the lucky position of owning a Dell XPS 13 with Linux pre-installed and then using a Lenovo X250 for my job, and they're both excellent laptops for development on. The work one isn't
