I was thinking the same thing. How many of us blindly save contact data to our phones or other PIM software, then back it up online to a Google, Apple, or Samsung service? Do they need my contacts' consent? If I were to ask my friends,

I like the sketch of the first design presented there. It seems to fit with the product. Unfortunately, the cult-route they went with produced a busy page with lots of animation that distracts the reader. Also, overlapping headings with ani

Instagram is a Facebook property; it does not belong to Twitter. Further, Instagram is not censoring #trump. They are temporary hiding recent posts from all hashtags. The text made this clear, saying "all hashtags." You can confir

I would be surprised if Mozilla doesn't charge everyone who is available out of the box. If they don't, they should. I don't think there should be a default. New users should be presented a list to select their preferred sear
