Right on. The BBC article should link to this. Better that Google nabs unsecured data without intent that someone else with intent. Too much hype. What's worse than nabbing private packets is Google sticking a camera on a 10 foot pole and d

Good of you to say, and it's good to hear things are going swimmingly since you removed it. The whole idea of accountability is in my opinion flawed when it comes to casual contributions from internet participants. The word "accountability"

Yep I like that thinking - no walls and distances on the internet. To take your example a step further, a google search and our boss sees what dance club we attended, sees photos of our last messy night there, and see our comments on pillre

Hang on a second, what if the interviewee doesn't have a Facebook account? Or just lies and says they don't have one? Would the next question be "why not" or "show us your email in-box"? Don't tell me that not having a Facebook account now

@zdw, I hope you're not suggesting that native iOS apps have better accessibility than Flash? That's not the case. Flash is way out in front of native apps for accessibility. Good closed caption support via external file or cue points, stro

I tend to agree. It can depend though on circumstances and personality types. I think we can adjust feedback methods depending on who is involved, how well we know each other, and so on. That said, some people try too hard "not to be a dick

Mobile web apps should work in more places than safari on the iPhone. Otherwise call it a "mobile safari app". I tried the app in mobile Firefox, no luck. I tried it mobile Opera, no go. Also, I don't understand why anyone would use Apple's

Nobody gets 200 emails per day all directly asking for something. If you do, as already said, that's a process and staffing issue, not email's fault. The good thing about the old subject line of an email is that you usually can tell whether

Nope. Email not broken for me. I like it how it is because filters and sensible organising of inboxes is not hard. Not interested in email streams at all. I'd prefer to keep streams for the kind of information that doesn't require action or

So I bought the app and checked it out. I may be cynical, but I also buy apps, (and my right to be cynical). I made an image with the app just now: http://i44.tinypic.com/aua3ic.jpg Review: 3 stars Good UX path on loading the app, guides

Agreed. But you're being too kind on Apple. This is the worst privacy breach from Apple in iPhone's history. No point blaming app programmers. The functionality for apps to acquire the address book without asking shouldn't exist. Dear Apple

Analogy isn't needed at all. Address book uploaded without permission... enough said. To your second point, I agree, Apple should have a setting on the iPhone that denies ANYONE but the owner of the iPhone access to the address book. In add

Are we sure the rewind list isn't decided by one staff member at Apple, who ticks a few boxes one morning at their cubicle? Somehow I knew the app wasn't going to be free after reading the article: "I just have no idea, except maybe that's

Front end Developers seem to disagree a lot. Some embrace the webkit prefix and sprinkle it all through their CSS. Others prefer not to resort to old fashioned site building techniques and instead aim to get the functionality working everyw

LOL, gold! I would buy that one too. As for the actual posters for sale, if people actually do want these on their walls, just type it in notepad and hit print. I'd sooner opt for a cheesy new age motivational slogan than Zuck-wisdom, but t

Someone should mention: this "cloud" is not actually a cloud, but relies on physical things to exist. At both ends, loads of electric current is needed. It relies on mining to bring the infrastructure, and it replaces your own information m

This comment is longer than the article it responds to. A good new years resolution for the interwebs might be to Keep It Short, Stupid! The definition of "comment" also needs revisiting.

Looks like unsharp mask filter is automatically applied to 4s.. which is fine for happy snaps, but if DSLR cameras applied such sharpening automatically without the option to turn it off, just watch photographers around the world take to th

We all have different lifetimes I suppose. As a kid growing up, the Commodore 64 was more than a tinker-box that blinked a few lights. And later, the Amiga won hands down over the Mac that we had in the house. I was definitely no hacker. I

I mostly avoid Macs. I prefer PC. But I dig the iPhone despite the various lock-down restrictions. I moved on to an android phone, and for the most part liked the new freedoms the android offered, but it was a step down in user interface de

It's not easy getting a 747 rumble out of a laptop. You're lucky, the sound is usually tinny. But there's a difference between "stable" and the situation where the cpu does the grunt work for the video instead of your gpu hardware. If Adobe

As an HTML/JS developer I really appreciate these powerful features that HTML5 will never have, and wasn't designed to have. People who say "use HTML5 instead of Flash" obviously have limited experience in actually building HTML web apps an

So what? I've been Native App-free for months now. I encourage everyone to go without using native apps for a few weeks. Unchain yourselves from Apple's closed, flash-hating club.

Love in the office! Think of the consequences... could mean love-making or worse! Here's my not-trolling theory: When mistakes happen in projects, or there's conflicts, smooth resolution is statistically more likely when the group is all ma

Status bar 4 eva. I don't want "improved" UX, I want to keep it as is, and anyone who wants a new UX should opt in for that. Don't force me to look at your latest designer's attempt to be noticed.

A valid criticism, but a little harsh and unnecessary only because Instagram is not forced on anyone who does not want to use it. Sure, it's gimmicky and trivial, as is most social media. Photography as an art form is not threatened by fash
