Speak for yourself. We want appification. The old internet sucked. Javascript compiles to assembly in some situations. I want that, not some shit about accessibility which doesn't interest me. You need that, you go get a book with big letters in it.
No, it's not semantic difference, it's at the heart of how the Play Store works; developers can specify that devices need a given sized screen, version of android, etc. You only see apps which you're capable of installing.
I never thought the regular hand-held devices were worth it, though. How much was the PSP when it came out? Why was it so expensive? So my expectations weren't high. The Nexus 7 had a shocking build quality, and I (and a few friends) sent back two devices to get one which worked (ie which could be charged, had functioning NFC, and didn't have little bits of plastic sticking out of the case which hadn't been put together properly). That was a flagship (budget) Android device.
So...this thing? Yeah, it'll be worth a look; perhaps it's worth the about a day or so's work, or the couple of meals out it's going to cost. Perhaps not. I'll let someone else beta test it for me though - those days are over.
Drones. Sure, probably not much of a threat if you're living in the West. But in the same way that the history of cybernetics begins with walking sticks and hearing aids, the history of man vs machine is going to start with the murder by Americans of unconvicted, if highly tanned, individuals in Africa and Asia.
Not only that, would you trust your data on one of those `optical disks`? It's bad enough with DVDs, hunting around for one which'll actually read something you burnt a few months earlier.
I tried the Subversion equivalent but got trapped in the familiar hell of Cleanup and Unlock to fix a problem that came out of nowhere. Perhaps the commit got interrupted and Subversion still can't handle that rare edge case properly with transactions. In the end I had to go back and Checkout everything again.

Isn't that what you want? You're suggesting we should just stop looking for better power sources because it'll be 'used' anyway?
You can save power now, on smartphones for example, if you do stuff like underclock the cpu, turn brightness down, handle wifi/gps etc more intelligently.

His doing it wrong what?

Presumably because they want to produce something which doesn't suck.
It's supposed to be walled off, dumbass. They want it walled off, and we want it walled off.

They're probably writing all the APIs and libraries you're using.

And then "on a mobile device but with slightly rounded corners".
My advice-learn English, especially if you're claiming to live in America.
Lions, tigers, bears...
A cure for religion would be handy too.
It's actually a read/write herring, but most of the writing is cached and deferred for actual physical writing later on.
I haven't, yet. But it's how I'm going to be replacing Reader.

But, like I said, it's a back-end change, so I'm not expecting to have to do anything.
Using Feedly as a backend to gReader (Android app). So I'm not expecting any changes - it should "Just Work(tm)"
Eh? No, you must be mistaken. You swipe up on iOs to get to the notifications; you swipe down on Android. Really they're totally different.

Well, yeah, there's this:

Well, that or that they suspected this was happening anyway.

Perhaps that'll come after the share price tanks due to MS missing targets for Windows OS sales.
Exploits are still exploits even if they can be detected by virus/malware etc scanners, right?
I'm failing to see why this is so bad.
