Unity already works fine with HiDPI, but Gnome 3 not so much. As the later will be the default DE, Canonical is working together with them. Apps are mixed, depending on the framework and version.
Let me see. Aside Search and Gmail, which Google in-house product works like a charm after those 2? Hangouts? Google+? Analytics? (I really hate how Analytics lost a lot of functionality over the years until get several better alternatives today...). Google Apps for Business is getting worst and worst every time the UI team has a dream. Not to mention that Google Talk worked fine when it was based on open standards before get replaced by Hangouts. In the other side, check some of the products they acquired: Youtube, Android.
Report source is appannie, which is a app marketing company. It'll very unlikely they'll say something different (like the few months ago report saying the average user install less then one new app by month).
Ubuntu is PulseAudio since years ago. It's systemd, because Debian picked it. So, still a Debian derivate. And it was Gnome until switched to in-house Unity. It planned to use Wayland even before Fedora (but then the NIH syndrome). What makes Unity different is still the same: reliable LTS, larger use base, friendly community, easy of install, wide drivers support, almost everything working out of the box.
This comment is so self-centered. You're assuming everyone is a single person, home user, with enough space to hang clothes outside, good weather every day and no need of clothes in few hours. Can you realize that in some areas, like big cities, people lives in so tiny buildings with no space for hanging (and some buildings have rules banning this)? That several countries, weather is not friendly for this at all? That when you have a family with several members (mainly if you have more than one baby), time is really important for clothes drying? And, if you're a laundry, time and efficiency are fuc*ing important!
Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children: nice fiction. I didn't watch the movie, preferred the book, as I restarted to read printed books this year before several years in digital readers.
I was forced to rent a different house (the previous owner asked the house for his daughter), and for some days, due the new house being a totally new building, I had no Internet, phone (just mobile) TV, and even electric power. It was the best that happened for me in years. We got so calm, mainly the kids. The current TV show for kids are really stupid, just screaming all the time. Myself, as a IT guy, work under pressure in front of a display the entire day. So, following this "back to roots" movement, I bought a physical book again.
The end of story: I canceled my cable TV and phone. Just a basic Internet for home work. No more TV on kids bedroom. And I'm reading books again.
Can you realize that maybe we were kids in a different time. When cable TV started the appeal was: 1 - you'll pay to watch commercials free TV; 2 - better programs. Now we have none.
CIA is expected to spy on people being investigated, i.e., possible criminals and enemies of the state. Not fucking ignoring the right to privacy at all.
The good news: new harddrives will have the size of a pin. The bad news: it'll require the scanning tunneling microscope attached to work: http://www-03.ibm.com/ibm/hist...
So, now, it'll require more 10 years to work to reduce the scanning tunneling microscope to the size of current harddrives.
How different is this to sold storage, RAM, battery, remove all ports in favor of one USB-C (in Apple notebooks) and remove phone jack, home button + sold battery in iPhones in order to get 2 millimeters more slim?
Come on Google... It was cool when you get web search or the email and improve it in a way nobody was pushing. But you're talking about improve SMS when since more than 5 years ago we started to use Whatsapp (or Facebook messenger) or whatever. Remind me of the aliens on Simpsons saying they improved our table tennis sport in an electronic way and the result was a game like Pong.

RSS is dead and replaced by Twitter. Of course, I use RSS, but RSS is too nerd for the average user.
Lots of header and footer tiles that don't do anything
Did you mean, Gnome?
The guy mentioned to be a Android engineer, probably not his business to choose or not a new OS.

... this is what they learned from the gov. agencies in the latest years. It's close to the Soviet Union communism: everyone spying everyone.
Report source is appannie, which is a app marketing company. It'll very unlikely they'll say something different (like the few months ago report saying the average user install less then one new app by month).
So, if he want to talk about importance, he should speak in German.
... because hipsters want you to use Twitter, because is "cool".
Debian voted to leave SysV and to pick systemd instead of Upstart. No RedHat influence.
Ubuntu is PulseAudio since years ago. It's systemd, because Debian picked it. So, still a Debian derivate. And it was Gnome until switched to in-house Unity.

One setting that I always use is to disable the tabs animation. In about:config, search for browser.tabs.animate and toggle to false.

Not making DRM a W3C standard will turn it into another Flash/Silverlight type thing. Look at how hard it is for them to die.
No, the opposite: see how we can browse the web today with no Flash/Silverlight and others. If they were a standard, that would be impossible.
... Google will realize scammers are abusing float boxes.

The same was true for cable TV when I was kid.
So, did you read the news in the latest years, mainly WikiLeaks mentioning CIA spying all conversations they can?

Right. Thank you for the clarification! :)
Is not possible use checksum for this case? Like we do with big files downloaded from the Internet?
