Exactly! I am sick of seeing posts related to only Hillary/Trump even when they were not the presumptive leading candidates. Also missed some important updates of friends because FB thinks it's not relevant to me.

Guess, it's about time there are more developers/devops who know GAE! Google have been quietly building a fantastic product line and when they start heavily marketing, there would be tons who would want to learn and switch.

You must not be in USA, isn't it? If that's the case, then the currency conversions come into play and you may very well earn less.

Anyone tried this? Could you integrate only certain components(and customize them?) with existing laravel application?

The app store/play store are different altogether. FB & Twitter launched as a seemingly open platform but later decided to cut down many things.

Kind of! As a normal guy, i can only speculate. But, it's pretty obvious that they don't have a strong product line. The products like Tumblr,finance,fantasy sports,Flickr are good, but none of them has a monopoly over certain are

Problem is they don't just focus on few products/sites, instead they make like random products(eg : livetext) and acquisitions(quite a few which were shutdown later). Focus is the key. Apart from flickr & Tumblr, there is no o

Apart from this, i have given up on Forbes because they keep almost all content in multiple pages with no option to load in a single page(at least on mobile).

Not because you made them slightly less rich, but because you did not help them make money when they trusted you with their money. But then i wouldn't call someone sociopath if they don't feel any guilt. After all we are not all w

Tough luck! I have never raised funds and planning to raise funds soon, but back of mind, i do have fear of losing the investors money. I think the founders should get over this guilt as long as they were lean and did everything they could

Not everyone is on Google Apps or Office 365. Most of the big corporations outside tech still use self hosted mail servers and use outlook client.

I have tried to let myself use the 3D touch a lot of times, but didn't really feel its useful. I wonder if it's just me that could not switch between the different type of gestures.

I have ordered a couple of times, the prices were slightly cheaper than Amazon and the delivery was prompt.

This is definitely cheap for people who could rely mostly on Wi-Fi and use normal data only when you are out. It is probably little cheaper than the regular carriers(Verizon/AT&T),but definitely expensive than T-Mobile.(I am in a f

You are right to a certain extent! But lets not forget that Samsung is a huge company too and is registered as per US norms. So the American executives of Samsung would be very much comfortable referring to either of them.

Exactly! That too, a democracy like India would never approve something so capitalistic with a pro-poor cover.

They say they provide the platform and guidelines and works with telcos across the world. But it's not a convincing answer to a normal user. Thing is, if FB can do it, certainly Google and other major companies can do it.

You could solve this problem if the govt provides more spectrum to the telco companies and in turn ask them to subsidize it to the poor. In this day and age, its not tough to do it. Just because it's tough, you would not want to accept

Well, i think Google is definitely trying to overcome the problem with the decrease in search whilst increase in use of social apps for information.And it has released 'Google Now on Tap as the answer! It's been a week i started u
