The only thing I can see really missing from the web app on the iPad is dragging cards from one list to another. However, after trying the iPad app, it is a much experience than the web app was.

If you try to install Flash on Windows, by default Chrome gets installed too (and probably prompts you to make it default). It doesn't even ask you at install time, it's a default checked checkbox on the webpage you download from - very eas

Someone who tries 1234, 1111 & 0000 on each before the bank locks him out, he's got a 18.6% chance of getting into each one of them which is 1/5.37. Therefore if someone steals just 6 cards they will likely get into one of them (and mos

These companies do all of the above deliberately until there is no viable competition left. This is a situation they competely created over several years. It's not surprising people are upset when the mass trial period ends and there are no

That's a bit like saying, why not support IE1 (which by the way is newer than the i386) because it's just a subset of IE10.

4GB is the limit with 32bit. It's starting to be used on servers, so that's an issue there. But even on phones: Moterola Droid 256MB [2009] Google Nexus One 512MB [2010] Galaxy Nexus 1GB [2011] Google Nexus 4 2GB [2012] It

You can do this, but unless you complain too, most companies are not going to notice for a long time. I suspect most of these companies still don't really understand the problem - for example I don't want to wait 6 months (in the UK) to see

All Apple's laptops have for quite a while, however with the iPhone they still didn't have 5 Ghz on the 4s and only added it on the 5 - not that Apple let you run a WiFi analyzer on it anyway.

Essentially it sounds like what you are claiming to be able to do, is recommend movies I like better. The 3-axis movie rating system or whatever is just how you solve that problem [and that might not work so you'd have to be open to trying
