You have to be biting your tongue awfully hard to shoot off "Google is, in other words, the new AOL." He admits all of the services are not complete alternatives, save for maybe RSS readers. In other words, either 99% of users can't manage

I can wait; this hasn't really been a thing for over a decade. It is usually 3rd-party driver related, and none of the OSes are immune.

~50% of visitors don't have websocket support, and there is not, afaik, a free service offering such, and otherwise, it is probably not straightforward enough for the 99% to setup.

I laughed at the idea that a "Like" is equated to connecting with brands; only FB can really think that. It's cheap, shallow, and an extremely poor signal. I bet your every startup here can tell you they have walked into hundreds of sales o

I also had to make one last minute hack change to the original media -- the Red Cross organization had asserted their trademark rights over red crosses (sigh) some time after we released the original Wolfenstein 3D game, and all new game r

I also highly doubt you can make a superior meal, that's a little offensive to people who focus their lives and careers on the art of food. How offensive; I shouldn't need to pay $100+ a head to get a superior steak, parsnip, and greens;

Search would be helpful, but I would also want a joined "recently" watched, "favorites," etc. I don't mind, much, having to open different applications; it's possible it would be cumbersome to do so, if I had more than just Hulu and Netflix

For starters, the blog post was informative and should get some creative juices flowing for applications in others' stacks -- piqued my interests in hacking core utilities. However... The graphs never show a 30K token mark, which is what th

Not to mention, I just can't be bothered to wait for my PS3 and/or <insert distributor> to shutdown one application to start the other. It's very annoying to sit in what feels like 3 minutes to, for example, stop Hulu and start Netf

"Don't be evil" has never really worked, despite best intentions, depending on your vantage point. You don't need an official Oath or for the company to know or base their employment on such an Oath. Either way, the bottleneck is the employ

No, because FB puts the same links and content under the right-hand side. Can you enumerate the issues that need to be addressed? I have ready of research on the lack-luster implementations (eg. Twitter) that many assume is the status quo.

I'm sure Netflix has churn; I'm sure they have clients that turn the service on for only a few months of the year; I'm NOT sure that is the majority, which is what I assumed you and I were referencing when quoting "people." I'd literally pa

I'm pretty sure people consistently pay $8/mon, despite the original content. You literally need only stay out of my way, be easy to use on multiple devices, and only entertain me 2-4hrs/mon to keep me coming back.

I think that's the argument -- naming is hard. Most JS libraries want to expose a class-based model -- call it class(es) -- and often to appeal to the non-prototypical crowd. Tutorials and documentation are rife with Java'esque examples. In

A lot of people rate Facebook at 5-stars because they like Facebook. The reviews that say "I wish it still had widgets, apps, etc" clearly shouldn't have 4-5 stars, yet do.

FB doesn't deserve to only be told how "FREAKING AWSOME" they are. The criticisms are very valid, outside the FB vacuum, and I expect FB will be making changes based on the feedback. How exactly are these users supposed to echo that they'd

I haven't looked through those 1k+ apps; I looked at the first few and would say you're completely wrong -- the apps don't hide the features we've come to expect of a homescreen of a smartphone. As I wrote elsewhere... Oh well, they thought

Oh well, they thought they could simply "take over" the entire, front-facing experience of the phone. They probably would have had better success trying their hand at releasing a better widget, surfacing the same experience without removing

It seems like a lot of complaints are from people who didn't really understand what they were installing ("Hey, I like Facebook! Let's try it!"), and were surprised when it turned their phone into a Facebook phone. To be fair, these compl

Of course, indeed. How many impossible feats do you expect Tesla -- Elon Musk -- to tackle on behalf of humankind? I can't imagine why you think Musk should fight for an industry he does not believe in, of course!
