The loss of photo statistics seems a big one. As far as I can see unless you have an existing pro account and continue to renew, there is no way to get photo statistics. I really think Yahoo should offer a 'spyr' account or something which

I don't think the reactions are strange at all. Google have a bad track record in implementing things and then abandoning them for one. I want my email to be a consistent experience - not to get some different behavior if I access through

Hmm. Making a universal email message have bespoke instructions for a specific mail provider. Call me old fashioned but I don't like that. Infact I still like to read my e-mails in plain text. Also, I dare say, not so useful for the many o

Definitely back of a cigaratte packet. But they're not writing the apps so it's just a front end, website and some discovery code - presumably the infrastructure is cloud managed... Maybe if I'm a little more realistic: 5 developers, 5 sal

This article makes a fair point. Whether AppGratis breaks the guidelines or not - Apple did act in a very unprofessional manner. They could have waited a day or two and given the CEO a right to respond before pulling it. But this is the r

Is it really that simple to raise 12 million dollars of funding - for a company which can be destroyed pretty much overnight by Apple. Do the investors not think about this? The world really has gone mad.

I managed to solve this one using the F12 Developer Tools in IE. Good enough tool for the job. Would use again.

I'm not sure the attitude you've observed is that prevalent - Google is still an extremely attractive employer. But like everything that's been around a while and has become large - people no longer perceive it as being in vogue. Personall

Some of the best developers I have worked with weren't Computer Science or Software Engineering graduates, but had Engineering or Electronics degrees. However, some companies wouldn't hire them because their degrees didn't fit their definit

Bad performance and support only for IE10+ will put these out of consideration for many. I think the real world appeal of these will be limited to say the least.

Google must be relieved that they didn't end up 6 billion dollars out of pocket and holding the sinking ship that is Groupon. The marker is saturated, businesses have had enough of getting little in return and consumers are getting annoyed

"but I can't believe a big company shipping crap" I definitely can. The bigger the company the more layers of management, analysts, architects, etc. you will find. The more diluted the product becomes and the more the end users suffer. I

Terribly biased article = Zero Credibility. Example? "painfully awful reviews of a product no one wants". A quick Google and it's clear this is nonsense. That said I won't be buying a Surface, because I'm perfectly happy with the iPad and i

The new flickr app (albeit very late) looks a whole lot better proposition then Instagram. To value Instagram at a billion dollars (well less now I guess because of Facebook's share price) is insane. They have a serious problem with spam -

Why no mention of duolingo.com ? Their iPhone app is driving an immense improvement in my German. Living in Switzerland I also like to watch shows e.g. on MTV in English but with German subtitles on. Then I can pause the live TV and rewind

Two examples of bad service I've had from Apple recently: a) ordered an iPod nano. Apple missed the delivery date by nearly a week, because they had outsourced the delivery to some unreliable company in Glasgow. I had left the country by
