The screen isn't glossy like a phone. It's matte, so you don't get noticeable fingerprints on it. The touchscreen is good because it saves putting buttons on the case, meaning the screen can be bigger. However the Paperwhite isn't all that responsive so the touchscreen can be a little frustrating.
This is a safety thing, not a competition thing.
Putting the punchline in the title totally ruined this.
I thought this was going to be about font licensing. Would the government save any money by using open fonts?
Pretty sure there is no way to do this on iOS. For the same reason the Facebook Messenger app doesn't have persistent floating windows.
Hey Chris. Sorry to hijack this thread. Just to say I'm loving Link Bubble and think it's a great idea. However the other day I was listening to a song in the background, using youtube.com in a link bubble, as the youtube app doesn't play in the background. But the bubble closed halfway through the song and it stopped playing. It might be a good idea to somehow detect if music was playing (like Chrome does, not sure how hard that would be) and not kill the bubble. Or maybe not kill youtube/soundcloud/whatever bubbles until the user does it manually. Just a suggestion! Cheers.
My company is in the process of moving from our own SVN server to using GitHub. Is this a bad idea in light of all these DDoS attacks recently?
If what he's saying here is true, then Facebook would have had no reason to spend all that money acquiring Whatsapp.
Isn't this less useful than the original?
Yeah, paying at less than the advertised wage is insulting. Unless they give you the 20% of the first three months back after the probationary period.
Wikileaks's founder falls under the huge ego/back-stabbing friends, socially unacceptable behaviors category too.
The support libraries solve most of the API problems though.
