Chrome browser has extensive enterprise support. Companies already control and monitor Chrome browser activity on the computers of their employees. And it's okay as well -- privacy should not be assumed or expected on company-owned dev

I wouldnt want Uber to die. They were one who created the ride-sharing market and the industry fighting against all outdated regulations. They may have done "sabotaging" their competition once several years ago -- there's no

I have tried to use Lyft, but the Uber's app design is much more user-friendly to me. I was confused by some of Lyft's ride selection options etc. Esp after the Uber redesign that happened a few months ago, it became much more ea

Its a neat feature actually. Taking up the next ride before finishing a previous one allows drivers to have no downtime, and thus increase their earnings; and for riders it allows them to get drivers sooner in cases where other available dr

"Uber is losing money because they subsidize rides to try to push competitors out of business." ?? I think thats the wrong way to phrase this. Uber is loosing money as Uber and its competitors are giving a lot of incentives to dri

I use Uber a lot, and most of the drivers don't use Lyft. So I am not sure whether one can use any anecdotal evidence like this to gauge anything. One more thing -- even though the press is hitting on Uber with lot of negative articles

This bug of an extra duplicate line looks like a merge issue to me.

Wow... thats a really comprehensive, meaningful comment. Finally came to know whats so "unorganized" and "unpolished" about Android. I upped your post, but it was good enough to require a verbal vote of appreciation!

I agree with your thoughts ... but personally I happened to keep using Siri!!

I think the article was good, and Jason tried to be unbiased (he "tried", since he has always historically been pro-Android). However I believe an honest comparison between iOS and Android cannot be done in less than 10 pages of indepth rev

Google TV was an unsuccessful imitation of Apple TV. Google has made its profession to just copy existing products. Anything that meets their eye.

He was young that time -- that does not mean he was dishonest for the rest of his life. And secondly, Woz loves him. Who are you dislike him, based on what Steve did to Woz, who knows what their relationship was...Since Woz loves him, I thi

I know he loves Apple, but that does not mean his articles are junk. In fact, they are quite the opposite. I love his article writing style, his logical approach to thinking, his ability to dig information (like his frequent articles on thi

1) I can do all of that with iOS keyboard as well, and very conveniently. I am not sure why you feel you need Swype to do that. Perhaps because the size of android phones is larger. 2) Ok, I agree that is powerful -- but I don't need it, bu

1) I have not myself used Swype, but one thing I know is that it is not as fast as iOS keyboard, since I have beaten friends in typing speed (they were using swype and I was using iOS keyboard). Overall iOS's default keyboard is much better

The back button on Android is a double-edged sword (based on what I have read/heard), because its function is overridden by apps in inconsistent ways, so you are never sure what effect that button press may have. Am I correct? (i am an iO

Really? Do you think making an OS (Mac OS X and iOS) and all the hardware designs of their dozens of products (remember airport express, iPods, macbook air, etc) are all "easy" to develop? Mac OS X and iOS are based on BSD, but they have b

Apple actually did a lot to better the labor conditions at the plants. They routinely publish a report about it as well. What I wanted to say is that Foxconn makes products for a large number of companies : Acer, Amazon, Intel, Cisco, HP, D

If you think nobody liked Steve, do you think he would have remained the CEO of Apple? Was he a dictator who couldn't be ousted? He was the best leader for Apple, period. Secondly, if your boss scolds you, sometimes unnecessarily so, but

Having an app store is not enough... Was it popular, on the same order of magnitude as is the iPhone App Store? Inventing is nice, but making it appealing so that everybody wants to use it, finds it useful, thats what makes an impact. But

Thats a percentage of revenues, and Apple's revenues are very high. Also -- I agree Microsoft spends a lot of money on research in their "Microsoft Research" division, but the fact is, most of their research does not end up in products. I

"the touch models were more popular".... are you kidding? Are you saying touch smartphones were popular before iPhones? Do you have any statistics? I hadn't seen even one of these before the iPhone (there were a few people who used them, bu

ESR: I dont think Steve Jobs has ever claimed he/Apple “invented” the PC, Smartphone, AppStore, iTunes, iPad , etc. Steve Jobs was not an inventor. He “popularized” the technology to the masses — and thats what causes the technology to make

Granularity is good -- but as far as I know people ignore the security permissions warnings, because they are hard to understand, and its difficult to understand why would an app need them, and most people generally just click yes. So pract
