The Xbox 360 was also the first game console to have a Netflix app. I think MS has released stats stating that over half the time spent on the 360 is streaming video, which is most likely Netflix usage.

I'd say this is a well thought out analysis, especially compared to other articles that make it to the front-page. "Snapchat is Intrinsically Worthless" https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=6671371

And there, my friends, is the spin: "Let me poorly reduce someone's well reasoned statement into a biased sentence."

I hear sentiments like this a lot, but I don't agree. Many companies have training on how to use Google Calendar/Drive properly. That doesn't mean these products are too complicated.

I imagine Bing has greater marketshare/engagement when compared to Google Search than Google+ does when compared to FB.

Seems like a step back from the old design? Not a great browsing experience and for company pages, there is not very much information above the fold anymore.

>Okay, is there any reason to think the Twitter account is controlled by someone with the intention or ability to carry out an attack? How does the person who controls their Twitter account decide that?

What would happen if we valued forums the way we value tech sites? What would SomethingAwful's valuation be in today's tech world when it had the engagement and content creation power it held in the early 2000s ? To me, Quora is r

Oh! The censorship I meant was more-so in regards to banning Gawker links when they outted violentacruz. I think the child pornography subreddits being banned was fine.

Yeah, those people in the 50s who fought against desegregation just had a different personal opinion on what was okay. Nothing wrong with that!

Should we have been tolerant of racist people in the 50s and 60s? Was being in favor of segregation a viewpoint people should have respected?

Reddit has never been above the fray. Look into their terrible record of admins censoring content and the violentacrez fiasco.

Employees who are members of the LGBT community or allies can now feel comfortable working at Mozilla. I think that is a positive effect.

Tiles can be resized to be small, medium, large, and x-large sizes.

It's a good question because there are a handful of variables at play. Size of the window, density of objects, the layout of objects, the ordering of objects, etc.

So your problem isn't with the small-start screen vs big screen, but with the density of information? With the Metro Start Screen you can customize apps, folders, and their sizes to your liking, or just type what application you want a
