In the web app, it's in the slide-right navigation. At the base, it looks like a speedometer toggle.

Pardon my ignorance, is there another option besides relocking? I believe in the Nexus One days, relocking took quite some time to solve. I'm wondering if that's still the case. And my last ignorant question, if you relock are there any com

I've been under the impression that HN doesn't sit well with Marco. I've read it multiple times on multiple occasions. Quickest example I could recall: https://twitter.com/marcoarment/status/176437401156194305

In Chicago it may depend on which form of transportation that you're riding. On the Metra, it's second nature to see laptops, tablets, kindles, etc. On the El, coworkers have shared that tablets aren't as common (mentioning theft) and peopl

This is such an amazing coincidence. I stopped reading Pando articles. It wasn't a conscious boycott. It just happened after reading a few articles and seeing little to no value in exchange for the time reading each one.

Not only that, but the first listing of the Verge is several paragraphs deep. Oh, and "The Verge" links to slashgear. Horrible attribution.

You're absolutely correct. It's always best to consider all the characteristics of the app design. So, I'd like to hear your alternatives to a Back button in your experience. Even the example linked below, Sidetap http://http://sidetap.it/

We were faced with the choice to design the navigation form with our current project. We narrowed it down to the slide menu and the drop down menu formats. I had hesitation with the slide menu as it offers some additional features, however

I completely agree with you but in my case it's that I carry an Android phone. There was a third-party web tie-in, called Spootnik ( http://www.spootnik.net/ ), to Omnifocus that gets mentioned on their support forums. I've recently conside

Ha, I believe the original intent is to discuss productivity which is what Mann consults with business / startups. It doesn't always go as planned which is probably why you were confused. The show is filled with random tangents which could

There are some moments between Mann and Benjamin that are so funny that I have to pause, finish laughing and resume. It's always when they cycle through "I think you mean.." and "No, you're probably thinking..."

It's a 'simple' layer of banking, although they are not a bank. They're partnered with Bancorp. They offer some additional features (namely, direct deposit and FDIC backing) over Paypal.

They announced yesterday that as a result of water-proofing it will have a special plug. "Pebble's USB cable is custom cable because the watch will be waterproof and can't have a big hole for the regular USB socket. We will be selling extra

To an extent... I always thought Apple went with non-carrier subsidized pricing on the first iPhone because they wanted sales now. The price even dropped $200, IIRC, only two months after launch. This supports your last comment because they

If I had to guess... I bet he's playing a significant role in their mobile strategy. Maybe related, a story broke last week with MG that they want to deploy a platform, via the browser. Project Spartan - http://techcrunch.com/2011/06/15/fa

Having read Marco's blog and listened to his podcast, I can't see an official client for android from Marco ever. His opinion of android is crystal clear. As a Nexus One owner, it requires some effort to disregard most of the hyperbolic ins

While it did sell out in less than an hour, you're exaggerating because that doesn't include the ample time offered to previous attendees beforehand. http://phandroid.com/2011/01/31/google-io-registration-opens...

I would agree with working at library. But I haven't been able to overcome one notable issue: Hours: Saturday 10AM - 5PM Sunday 12PM - 4PM Saturday is a possibility but Sunday is a joke.

My second post in this thread: It's obvious they're not giving any exposure to this blog post ( http://www.groupon.com/blog/cities/groupon-super-bowl-ads/ ) or the microsite ( http://savethemoney.groupon.com ) I can't say I'm offended at th

I think the biggest mistake is that the groupon.com page is plugging to watch Super Bowl commercial and sign up. If you actually follow through to http://savethemoney.groupon.com/ one can find that there are some serious active campaigns

I'm really surprised a couple app titles are missing on this list. Swype? I've heard many iPhone owners wish they could have such a utility on their phone. WinAmp WiFi sync? Wasn't this similar to an app Apple rejected and later popped up o

When we had our child and found diapers.com, I was convinced it was already an amazon company. diapers.com has great customer service and an unreal shipping policy. I guess it was a matter of time but it makes complete sense to me just like
