That's not what they are saying at all. The obfuscator is to protect their source code, it has nothing to do with your account and files being secured or not.

I apologize if showing mobile apps is frowned upon (I rarely see them discussed here, so I thought maybe they were, but couldn't find anything). Here's the links: Website: http://convoyapp.net App Store: http://budurl.com/ConvoyIOS

I see your points, and I'm definitely not suggesting G+ should be a Twitter clone, but at the moment I'm seeing that the whole concept of 'following' peoples posts, whether you know them or not, is being used (and encouraged by G+) so I thi

My latest app (Convoy - http://convoyapp.net ) is a live map display of where you and your friends are. It uses internet and location services very heavily, yet I developed it almost entirely using an iPod touch, despite it's lack of 3G an

I'm glad Bill is putting some money towards this. It seems quite complex but if they can make it cheap and easily maintainable it could save a lot of lives. For anyone who doesn't think this is a big problem, picture taking DOUBLE the popul

It sounds like you are basically saying there is not really a problem as long as you wash your hands? Have a look at some of the health problems that come up due to the fact that around 6-700 million people in india defecate openly. http:/

An added benefit of this is Exchange customers can take advantage of what Microsoft has learnt from filtering Hotmails spam by using FOPE ( http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/forefront/cc540243 ) as a cloud based spam filter. It's amazing h

I've found that those that switch from iOS complain about it the most, as they are used to the one button approach. Just like swapping between any OS I guess, you have the things you are used to and initially, the new idioms don't sit well

If you don't want it in alphabetical order, put the apps on your home/launcher screens and organize them how you want. The app drawer is only a fallback for apps that aren't commonly used (therefore, they need to be in a logical order as yo

I thought the same thing when I went to the website, though it looks like it simplifies things a bit, particularly in regards to billing. Might be good to have the advantages on an FAQ page somewhere.

What's yours stays yours... except for when we stuff up the login system and let anyone login to your account? Yes I know it was a mistake, but now that you've sorted out the licensing terms, lets move onto the issue of showing people you h

So you think his other reasons for swapping aren't valid? Or do you think that there is a compelling reason not to use Live Mesh if you want to switch from Dropbox?

I've had good experiences with flash on my Galaxy S, mainly flash streaming, I don't play flash games. I've used it on a number of occasions to watch streams of cricket matches. Much better than not having it at all.

So you are saying that when people see that Windows 8 is different to what they currently use, they won't buy it, and instead they'll purchase a whole new, even more different operating system (OSX Lion)? I'm not sure I agree with that trai

Having too many screens doesn't make you get distracted, there is a root cause as to why you are procrastinating or not enthralled in your work, and it's not having too much screen real estate. You should try to address the root cause of yo

So you are saying Google should decide what is crapware and what isn't? The only thing I think that needs to happen is they change the ranking algorithm for search so it's easier to find the real app, not that I ever have any problem with t

Mario games as a whole on the platforms they are intended for may have sold lots but how many people have bought the SNES, Gameboy etc versions? We're talking about an old game on a device it wasn't meant for, there's no way your average co
