That's how the iOS core location API works (and it has been this way since iOS 5 atleast, if not earlier). In particular, there is a |startMonitoringSignificantLocationChanges| method ( https://developer.apple.com/librar

Haven't tried it, but with the Chromecast extension, it presumably should. The only potential problem I see is if there are any licensing issues with video codecs.

Chrome browser supports it. There's an SDK, so theoretically any device can support it. I own both an AppleTV and a ChromeCast. For Netflix, I use both depending on whether my phone or the Apple TV remote was closer to me. For Youtube,

It uses a mini/micro? USB (one of those small USB ports for power). My device came with an adapter that I could attach to my TV's USB port, so there are no dangling wires. If your TV doesn't have a USB port, you can just conn

I don't know, maybe because it needs a browser extension which older ones don't support at the moment. I would assume they'll support them later, but honestly, I don't know.

The obvious question: Why would you buy this if you already had an Apple TV (or were considering buying one)? * Cross-platform support, not just iDevices * For apps that integrate with the SDK (currently Youtube & Netflix, but I am sure

Would you be willing to open source your code? I am running out of hard disk space as well for my photos and have been thinking of writing coding up something very similar to this idea _when I get time_. But I would be willing to contribute

Based on his recent G+ posts, it seems he is using a Chromebook Pixel now.

Why do you think that Gmail is not a core product for Google just because it's not the primary revenue generator? Gmail is a very important user identifier, is probably quite critical for personalized ads, has high usage numbers, and most

I am using Everpix at the moment, but Flickr seems like a better deal and has much more features. Except for a critical one....auto-uploading from pre-specified folders & Photo Stream. Do you manually upload all your photos, or is there

But isn't that an "interesting" choice? They could have just kept the extra permissions tied to the Home app. The current way, even non-Home users are giving a lot more unnecessary permissions to the FB app. And FB isn't the most trustworth

I am really excited about this product, but had a couple of questions: 1. Will this be able to connect to more than one phone without significant reconfigurations? My wife and I own one car. It would be great to swap which phone to connect

On one hand, I love it that I was able to donate to a person, and Watsi didn't require a login, email etc. (though I guess they have my email from the Paypal payment). But this is one of the sites where a login would probably be a good idea

By that logic, Safari should be 17+ only and should not be installed by default unless the user claims/proves that they are 17+. It's much easier to access nudity/porn via Safari. 500px's app required much more work, and contained "artistic

First of all, how credible is a Path PM's opinion on the "camp stove" example? Conflict of interest, anyone? Did Vic G or anyone official at Google say that's going to happen? IMHO, what's more likely to happen is: You search for a camp sto

The limit is flexible at the project level, many projects use a 100-char limit. And it's only for code, not for xml/json/string etc. files. And while it adds some extra line breaks to your code, it does improve readability a lot, particular

That's a valid point, especially in low population density parts of the US. But from a self-defense point of view, do you really need a semi-automatic? Wouldn't a normal revolver suffice? Furthermore, for places where the population density

I think bambax's main point is summed up by - "The NRA says "guns don't kill people, people do" but the truth is that guns help people who want to kill people, kill more people." Do you have any real points to counter that, rather than just

One temporary/hacky multiple account solution is to use multiple Chrome profiles (I think Firefox also has something similar). This way I have separate work and personal Gmails working smoothly, and using different themes for the profiles a
