The "You pay for texts" argument doesn't make a lot of sense. Most of the phone plans come with free texting before free data. I think the main reason why texting is in decline is mainly the "You can do more with instant

Even if it's true, I don't think developers care if the money they got at the end of the month comes from a gift card or a credit card. Google Play gift cards exist too, I don't know if you can buy music with it though, if no

All the other comments are too focused on the front-end Nokia Lumia vs iPhone vs Android. Microsoft buying Nokia is kind of the same as Google buying Motorola for 12 billion $ : Nokia has 10k patents in the mobile phone world. So a 10-year

I agree with you, but with a mass produced product we can expect low costs, so this would be really helpful in poor countries where starvation is common. If Soylent becomes cheaper than the previous products [1], it would definitely help mo

Why would blue be good ? Instinctively, we're not really attracted to blue food because no natural food is blue. There is a few counter examples like the blue Gatorade, but it's 100% liquid, I can't think of any soup-texture

I tried on firefox 22, it took 4:54 mn to complete , each color was around 4 to 8 numbers. I then tried on IE10 to have some fun : I took 7 sec to complete, each color was between 1 and 3 lines ...

When some NFC technology as in the latest Visa cards [1] will be integrated in phones, then it would be widely use. Especially if the NFC payment works even when the phone battery is empty. [1] http://nfctimes.com/news/
