Ineffable

Pro tip: Click and hold any icon in a top or bottom action bar in Android to see its label. Very useful with cryptic symbols. Not a solution, but eases the issue.

In every letter I've had with a new bank card it's told me how to change my PIN if I want to. I'm not sure I know anyone who hasn't changed theirs.

I'm not sure there's much room in the S3's bezel, unless they're just increasing it vertically and replacing the physical buttons with on-screen ones.

There are/were plans to make some that would fit over existing prescription glasses, though, I think.

America is not the only country in the developed world. Plenty of smartphone wielding pedestrians here in Europe.

Tablet support would be much appreciated!

I've heard it began when some shop assistants were, when selling an item, simply pocketing the payment for the goods themselves and never putting the money into the till. To counter this, the shop owners made it so that almost nobody would pay for an item with exact change, meaning that the transaction would have to be put into the till system in order to open the change drawer.

Interesting theory, no idea how accurate it is.

I have no doubt that at some point Google will start building some sort of integration between Glass and Street View. They're already starting to do what you're talking about with street view data - they're using ReCAPTCHA to OCR street signs and house numbers to try to get more accurate address information for maps.

More control is a big source of value for a lot of people. Personally, I don't need a 2 year old to be able to use my phone, but I draw great enjoyment from being able to customise it to my tastes very easily. Don't like the stock keyboard? Chuck it out. Don't like the app launcher? Download a new one.

If you want a more consistent UI and smoother animations over that, then great - there's a polished, well made device for you too on iOS. Different strokes for different folks.

Is that called "prime" by most people? I've always heard it just pronounced "dash", as in "s-dash" or "f-dash".

Indeed. It feels surprisingly native despite this, though.

Simple. You put them in some hipster frames. BAM, instant success.

I don't agree that this is some sort of foolproof way of getting out of doing any work studying, but I definitely think this method could be really useful.

And all of the mobile browsers with their different operating systems. And what purpose would testing an app on different carriers have? The carriers have no impact on how well an app runs, whatsoever.

It would be a problem if you couldn't simply ignore or block anyone you didn't want to talk to. There's plenty of people I would have lost touch with years ago were it not for Facebook. When it's someone I want to talk to, I'm grateful. When it's not, I just unfriend them and my privacy options do the rest.

There is a bit of a problem in that many teenagers don't seem to understand the fact that it's very difficult to delete things from the internet. It's a non re-writable medium, in many respects - particularly if you're not smart with your privacy settings. There is definitely room for more education on this. It would be way more useful than the joke that was IT lessons at my school.

You still have to do this. Minecraft is a bad example.

Try Reddit.

Because it's a developer phone. If the developers are all using the highest end devices they can't test how their app works on an average device, performance wise.

Yeah, seriously, the average smartphone user probably uses about 5-10 apps regularly (by which I mean more than once or twice a month).

I can definitely see the logic in what he's saying, though - less effort == more sales. I'd love to be able to route payments through my phone in shops instead of using cash or card. My phone's easier to get at in my pocket and would let me use apps to interact with that payment data more easily (finance apps, budgeting, etc.).

Yeah, but if you want to do a DDOS attack you can just use one of the already configured tools out there that will bombard the server with as many requests as possible. A few chained ajax requests are never going to replicate that sort of load.

It's simply a remote control for the spotify app. They're repaying royalties using subscription payers and ad plays.

People are much more likely to use the full 5GB for file storage than they are to use the full limit of their gmail storage. The limit on gmail is high, but I think Google is banking on the fact that the average user will probably use less than half of that storage.
