Do you support a kind of internal "yes, but..." note so that opportunities for improvement can be drawn from the questionnaires themselves and tracked? I always wanted that to be way easier.

Only if you actually then invest some time in selling it. I've had radio silence from their sales team when requesting to purchase an self-hosted licence. The one thing I know about Microsoft (GitHub) - they _get_ enterprise sales.

I guess you didn't read the 11.1 release notes where they stated they were standardising on http://commonmark.org/ right?

I was quite sympathetic until I hit the mini-bio at the bottom: "Matt Kulka works for Local Motors in Phoenix, Arizona. He loves to drive cars around race tracks, his expensive hobby that he just doesn’t want to kick."

Care to elaborate why that's so surprising? Nokia's been investing externally like this for a couple of decades. PayPal (Confinity at the time) would be a good example!

As a Brit I'd just like to say that _that_ is how a country should grasp an opportunity. Rather than the bitchy whining I've seen from many of my compatriots so far!

Just installed this via homebrew. Looks pretty good to me so far. Just a wrapper round the various web versions of the messenger services but saves me pinned tabs in my browser at least!

That's awesome. And covers the area traveled by The Martian too. Just spent rather too much time zooming in and out of interesting features!

Is there any plan to allow the service to point at one's own DO or AWS account? That would remove one more privacy concern some folk seem to have.

Just because you can't see the Nokia logo on the cell towers and base stations doesn't mean we don't make them. I'll take physical evidence and a balance sheet over dumb stuff like this.

The term "institutional buyer" covers a broad spectrum. It's not just the deep-pocketed tech firms that buy smartphones. It's also your hospitals, animal shelters, fast food franchises, etc. Lots of these buyers are goin

I like that MSFT appear to be attempting to reinvent responsive design for the native world ;) It will be interesting to see how, if at all, this dovetails with their SmartGlass efforts as I can see some merit in a framework that makes it e
