   I guess people don't want to bother or say it costs money and yet they spend more on clothes/booze/magazines per month. Same for email/calendar/contacts, 10 GB hosting + own domain = couple less beers per year and d

   After testing couple trial apps, decided for Sygic. Found it reliable enough for EU, gets updated quite often. Main feature that was also important is that it supports downloading maps per country. Some other navigation apps at the time d

   Thanks, didn't know that, I stand corrected in Googles case. Is this linked with the initial statement sent to users ?

   Except Apple/iOS doesn't have the majority market share as MS did. (not that I don't despise this, just stating).

   This is a thing that I wish EU would "grow some" and step together instead of catering to (usually) US services/corporations.

    If I punched you in the face (Windows 8) the slapped you after (Windows 10), you'd find the slap quite an upgrade as well. It still doesn't mean it's pleasant (halfassed Settings).

    That's BS. Advertising how awesome $vendor is with updating their own hardware but failing to note that it runs like crap, that user should do the research and isn't possible to revert, while nagging you with update notification

    They decided that ios9 on 5S should stutter while scrolling throughout the OS. A smooth working device experience on 8 was broken by an update and 10 minutes later with no option to revert anymore. Interesting it coincided with release of S

    Precisely. I refuse to update my phone (Sony Z3C) because based on feedback it performs worse in battery life, because Google strongarmed Sony to remove their superior battery optimisation logic (Stamina) and include Googles halfassed one (

    Or change the marketing from cloud connected to owning the cloud. I mean, for someone who would depend on stable Internet connection to be able to control all this shit, he'd be off hosting a personal cloud on the same connection as we

    Hm, that's odd, I've added Strava to homescreen since the Android app runs a constant GoogleNowAuth service and wasting resources. It runs in it's own window. Although I use the Chrome Beta 52, maybe there's some differe

    If you want some website to be in their own window, visit them in Chrome and go to 3 dot menu and Add to home screen. Basically similar as on desktop, with the taskbar/desktop icon.

    Good. The recent apps since Lollipop was so convoluted already, since they allowed up to 50 items in it, which kills the convenience of having a recent app list in the first place. If you open the recent list and the app you want isn't
