    Edge's reading list shows newer entries at the top. The problem is you don't have to do anything extra to use tabs. You just... leave them open, and then there's no reason to use b…

    Your site may be self-selecting for people who don't use Edge somehow. Our session count on a site geared for the average person puts Edge closer to 13%: Chrome - 57.54% IE - 14.12…

    Not only have I gotten used to it (pretty much immediately), I get really annoyed when it's the other way.

    I'm not even necessarily talking about just the hardware specifically - the whole experience stinks. Nobody's really figured out what to do with it yet. I think mainstream VR as a …

    I think VR can only become mainstream/ubiquitous once it has an "iPhone moment" that fundamentally changes what VR even is in the first place. Right now everyone is thinking about …

    It's awesome that you made it this far, but to be honest 3k MAU just isn't enough. If you're making money through ads, you'll want more eyeballs on them so try getting more users! …

    It depends on your audience as well (surprise, you need to understand who will be using your product). What we've found through AB testing with the game I work on is that our best …

    I'll have to try when I get home, but I'm curious how speech recognition will do against the message chosen for the touchscreen record. I'm not 100% sure how to even pronounce a co…

    This is obviously anecdotal but I work on a somewhat popular web game (millions of sessions/month despite having a mobile app) and Chrome OS (1.15%) represents less of our sessions…

    You actually TALK on the phone? I have one of the smallest voice plans AT&T offers that still has unlimited text and even that has way too many minutes. I think the only number I a…

    Hell I'm in an industry many consider somewhat shady and practically the only telemetry we use for ads is "user installed the app" and "user paid us." Even that's mostly just to ke…

    For me types make prototyping WAY faster, especially if "throw" or some other keyword satisfies the return type of a function. I can write out the function signatures and data type…

    Well of course I won't have any impact on code quality when I don't actually write any code, because I can't stay focused while working from home. I'll take a non-open plan office …

    Indeed you can't take money out of them, and the various app stores have pretty strict policies about this. Honestly, if Valve gets worried about gambling laws they could learn a f…

    The reading view in Edge (and metro IE fwiw) works as well

    It makes manual refactoring easier too in the sense that you now have a tool that can tell you what you broke and how to fix it.

    I mean, if your laptop or phone have Miracast support you don't have to install anything or buy the Apple TV or remote thing. Maybe just a dongle if the tv itself doesn't support i…

    Sure, unless you put that audio CD in your computer and Sony installed a rootkit.

    Can it be done with something that's not Javascript? Not trolling, I'm genuinely asking.

    "Due to the rapidly decreasing demand for downloadable software in favor of web apps [...]" I just hope they get rid of the memory leaks in their web apps...
