Looks like somebody at ZH also knows how to use a compass. http://www.zerohedge.com/news/2014-08-28/nato-releases-satel...

Source bias is always an issue. I think we would all agree that western media doesn't have the best track record when it comes to "proof" either. Same goes for NATO imagery, I reca…

The map makes no sense. Reddit's feed is infinitely better.

A quick scan on Russian sources shows no confirmation of a large scale invasion taking place. EU rhetoric also quickly changed since this morning and suddenly nobody is using the w…

At every MWC when it launched to the public and pretty much every iteration since then. My company develops solutions for a telco that is one of the key backers of Firefox OS in de…

Doesn't matter. Web-as-App is a flawed concept that everyone has tried and failed. Firefox is expecting a different result?

I've tried Firefox OS and it feels on par with early versions of Android in terms of UI/UX i.e. it is bad, very bad. Plus poor performance, lack of any app ecosystem and operators …

Interesting and seemingly well researched article. That said, there are a handful of things are are phandroidy about it, perhaps too much so. 1. Android is fragmented as ever OEM h…

My thoughts exactly. Instead of getting with the program they want to stifle the competition while making life difficult for their clients. I just can't sympathise with the taxi dr…

Besides being stupid, the main problem with Google Now and other "predictive" assistants is that they have no understanding of intent/context. Google Now would often display travel…

I think the dynamics of photo sharing changed from the "old" days when everyone with an SLR thought they were a pro. Finally people are taking photos for themselves and sharing the…

Coincidentally, I cancelled my Yahoo/Flickr accounts earlier this week. Perfect timing.

Cute? Personally, I think it is fugly.

I for one thank the news of the leak. Reminded me to finally delete my eBay account. A process that may take up to 7 days.

We love to through around the words "alternative" and " replacement" it is neither until it is as easy to use/deploy as X for the average Joe. You know 90% of people out there who …

Sorry, I assumed it was clients were open sources based on the article. Now that I looked it appears that is not the case. So ... it is safe because John McAfee?

Exported my dada and deleted the account. I stopped using the app a long time ago. Didn't find much use for the data at the end of the day. If you didn't log your workout, did it a…

So the client is open source but the server and backend isn't, same as Telegram? What is the point? That and McAfee doesn't exactly inspire confidence.

I think you can call Apple and get a free upgrade to the latest model if you bought yours within 30 days of release of the new ones.

Apple means clicks/ad displays. Like you said, Android OEMs should be the ones concerned more with this, than Apple. Xaiomi actually makes good devices, design and spec wise. Andro…

Sure. I have roughly 600GB stored on Glacier and around 50 GB on S3 so far this year. I am yet to spend more than $10/month. Wait, you say, Google Drive is 9.99 for 1T! True, I say…
