Not an owner or shareholder. I encourage you to read up a bit more on their competitive strengths, including their battery, charging infrastructure, and autonomous driving tech. In that regard they are WAY ahead of the competition. I am sto

Does FB put in writing somewhere that deleting your account will result in all your data, including inferences and profiling data derived from data you and others have provided will be actually purged from their systems? Or do they just del

I doubt that it is a problem with the dev team, or a PM's lack of org clout or lack of API access (apparently the app could functionally do what it needed to do, except perhaps the final step, which might have required correcting an ex

I have gone through several Bluetooth headsets including Jaybirds, which lasted weeks at best. right now, I am using the Plantronics BackBeat Fit Bluetooth Headphones and love them. You don't sound as great as my old Motorola us, but t

I had not heard of the East Meets West art by Yang Liu. Looked it up and found it very interest...if not spot on. Some made me quite sad about Western culture, such as grandpa walking the dog instead of his grandchild. Or the one on "s

Results are buggy. "San Antonio to Caribbean for two weeks in July" displayed plenty of results, including Georgetown, except it was Georgetown TEXAS. My next search was for "San Antonio to anywhere in July for under $200". I get many resul

Very interesting. Does anyone know what tech wetransfer uses for uploading? I was prompted to use Flash for download, but what about uploads? They don't use a Java applet. Anyone?

It will start with currency and such, followed by clothing (hey, look at me!), then nails, then full body "tattoos". Heck, a couple of decades from now we'll put the city of Panem (from the Hunger Games) to shame. We'll all look like a bun

Too clever perhaps. Zero UI doesn't mean No UI. I also had to read the About to figure out that I could drop a file onto the castle wall, which btw failed to do anything (I assume I need a login). What's missing is something called "Afforda

None of the widgets worked for me in the demo. After researching WebSockets I figured it out: WS aren't supported by IE (or so it appears, using IE9 with all default settings). see them when using my Chrome browser. Seems like IE users are

It worked fine in my browser (IE9) but horribly on my iPhone (iOS4.x), same experience as the previous poster. I would be more gentle in my critique if Pllop's main claim to fame wasn't the ability to build it once and render on any device.
