I kicked the tyres on the new Quantum'd Firefox. Oddly I found that the GPU utilisation on my MacBook Pro is significantly higher than Chrome, even higher than Safari. Playing a YouTube video would make the MBP's fans spin signifi

The one thing Google Maps is missing for me over the other two is speed limits. It's so handy to have an alert go off especially in larger cities where they can fluctuate frequently. Waze sometimes feels like it's taking you off t

IMO and as other outlets have stated I don't think they planned to release the X this year. You can tell a lot of this just by the way the software feels like it has been shoehorned in to work e.g. swipe down from the right for Control

I disagree. I agree they need to focus on quality and performance and be public that they're working to address it. But they also need to focus on adding new functionality to catch up with Android and other flavours of Android. The mob

All valid points. Personally I find that iOS recently has really fallen behind, the hardware coming from Apple is still best in class, software is terrible. Notifications are abysmal, the UI in places feels pieced together, some of the UI j

Have you tried hitting an alternative DNS resolver than Google's? You might find Google are tailoring results for VM which other providers aren't willing to do. I get the same results on a BT Infinity connection, querying 208.67.2

Why is this even a news story? Surely if anything we should be praising the use of a new and arguably beneficial image format rather than complaining about some users incompetence to grab a view to open it on their computer. It really seems

I think you might be right. I just tried it on an IIS server set to accept any hostname at the IP the site is bound to and it returned a 400 error as well. Removing the trailing dot made it work.

For me this doesn't so much highlight the headline that Google is a second class citizen but rather the inflexibility of iOS compared to Android. Apple really should take a leaf from android's book and see how integration can be made better

the back button issue in IE10 mobile has still not been solved in WP8. It's one of the first things I noticed is the lack of a back and forward button. The back button definitely does not behave in the manner described unless resumed by hol
