RSS is only really useful as a conversation rate in communities. Take HN for example, it keeps you abreast of recent stories without having to open the page. In news sites, it's even more useful to scan the news. The conversation comes when

I remember reading something regarding feeds and Google. Basically in terms of numbers, they just don't feel that anyone users it. Hence why it's unavailable on Chrome. It's a shame. Feeds can be really useful. Though I'll admit they're a n

I've written a huge amount about Firefox OS (B2G) and how much I feel that the undertaking it required for a company of Mozilla's size, was a mistake. I believe in Firefox and the power of Sync and I also believed in Thunderbird, especially

Didn't they try this and have it fail already?

Yes please. I detest our use of .co.uk where .uk will suffice.

That's really quite good. I hope they follow it up with some Design Guidelines. Extensions could do with a bit more consistency.

I don't have much love for webOS, maybe it'll come one day. But I must say, things like this are fantastic. The more success we see in projects like this, the closer we'll get to generic mobile devices that aren't built around a particular

Have the fixed the fact that it doesn't support autofilling passwords? That alone makes it more annoying than any captcha that I've ever had to fill out.

No thank you, I want the OMAP to be more successful than anything AMD have done to date.

If we're honest, this is hardly surprising. Before Nokia made it's commitment to Microsoft, they were a company at the forefront of phone technology, including their cameras. However, what this does actually do is beg the question of why th

If the consumers, including the symbioses (nicest term I could think of for accessory companies) don't actually stand up to Apple and demand they conform to the standards the rest of the world do, then of course you have to expect that they

Not surprised really. The front page is being flooded with rehashes of the same story.

What browsers have this exploit been tested with?

I wouldn't say annoyed, most disappointed. Google have never thought of Android as anything other than another avenue to peddle their services. They're on record stating as such, it's not the other way round. Google were making Maps for Bla

Frozen out by who? Being one of the most popular apps in the app store is far more valuable to Google than being preloaded on devices. Why? Because it enables word of mouth and discoverability. If Android didn't exist, Google maps would be

Do you think Google is close to eradicating the iPhone? Do you think Google is close to eradicating the iPad or even the iPod? Google Maps is one department and Google Android a total other. Whether Android is a success or dies tomorrow, Ma

What do you think if worth more to Google? Being on every platform or only having their own platform? Why do you think Android is so popular now? Or how Microsoft was able to ride the IBM clones to dominance? You guys think too small.

by sabret00the 14y ago
Let's not be ridiculous here. Maps isn't run for Android, it's run for Google. In fact, in terms of hierarchy, they're pretty much on the same level. Google hasn't submitted a maps app because a/ it needs to build the demand for it and b/ i

What I find interesting here is that it seems to have gone from generic social media site to glorified music promo site and now back to generic social media site? I thought they were going to buy soundcloud and really attempt to push the mu

My biggest disappointment regarding this whole matter is that as a result, OSM is getting a lot of negative criticism. More-so than Tom-Tom.

QA on the scale of what they needed wouldn't work. You have to bare in mind that Apple like to keep things close to their chest. To have at least one person per city testing this worldwide was impossible.

Still, even as a Gooner, to not be able to find Old Trafford with a search for Manchester United Football Club is beyond fail. It's the most popular ground and most successful club in the country.

5 inches is too big. That's phablet territory. Smartphones should be limited to 4.8 and under.

I think this is feasible. There's surely a 100m geeks in the world. Also don't forget that goog.le links, open in the browser on Android phones.
