The problem with those kind of stats is they fold in every $0 Android device that are purchased and used essentially as glorified dumbphones. If you've ever used apps on those devices, you can plainly see why nobody would install anyth

That's always been the case, it's a great reason to avoid Chrome on OS X.

You're not. I've met very few OS X users that are even aware there is a strong contingent out there that despises iTunes. On OS X it's still great, and as of iTunes 12 it's back up to the speed level it should have alway

Cog is ugly as all hell and hasn't been updated seven years. It's nowhere near as capable as iTunes.

What music is locked away in iTunes, besides FairPlay tracks from like 2008 that you can pay to upgrade.

I couldn't be less sympathetic. You guys pull VLC for iOS like six months ago, provide no explanation as to why it was pulled, ignore people asking about it on Twitter, and no ETA or the slightest bit of information on whether or not i

The fact that this is so constantly overlooked amazes me. Mali GPUs are trash.

Those situations are so different from each other I'm honestly amazed you wrote it, looked at it, and still thought it was a smart move to play that card.

It's a process. iOS 4 opened the limited multitasking APIs, and iOS 7 allowed any app to refresh in the background. I predict the same for extensions, except on an accelerated schedule.

Switched to No-IP, took a couple minutes. No big deal, I've never really liked DynDNS anyways, they were far to aggressive in trying to force upgrades.

This is a great reason why the iOS permissions model is miles better. It's not perfect, but it's a far more logical and friendly approach than the all-or-nothing approach that Android uses. I hate the Android model. On my Android

Yep, I'm also bigoted against racists. The "you're bigoted against bigots" argument is as old as dirt, uncreative, and childish. Pretty much the "I know you are but what am I" playground argument tactic.

Any positive effect? Of course. It's now far less safe to donate to anti-gay marriage causes while also being a public figure. Public figures shape public opinion and societal norms. Ergo, a net gain for gay marriage and a net loss for

What does it being popular have to do with anything? Popular bigotry is still bigotry. A donation in support of that bigotry is tantamount to bigotry. Finally, personal political views absolutely enter in to public debate when the views are

You keep saying "was" and "opposed" like his opinion has changed. For it to be a mistake, you have to first own up to it, and second, apologize and try to make amends. Brendan has don neither, and in fact has pretty much

On an N95 I remember it running even better than that. That port was actually amazing, and it even supported a full KB & Mouse via Bluetooth.

Frostwire no longer supports Gnutella and is now just a BitTorrent client, so it shares little with LimeWire anymore.

It's difficult to find the history of the IntelliMouse, but it looked like the original one launched around 1998 had the scrollwheel and a mouse ball, but the second generation one has the optical addition. Not sure when it launched th

That sounds like a problem for content licensing, not me. Promoting a broken model because the model that model is built on is broken as well hardly bodes well for this burgeoning industry.

This is true, but on the flipside it's hardly Apple's fault if the only copy they have of highly important and sentimental photos is a cached messaging stream. There are countless ways to back up that data. It's like blaming
