Is there anyone who could point me to an easy-ish way to get this running on a PI + Screen? I have a special-needs son who would LOVE to have this running. I'll take any advice! Thank you!

Full press release ended with me finding a link that shows the narrated books they include. Edited above.

Can anyone offer any guidance on the audiobook aspect of this? What is a "Kindle book with narration"? If I'm an audible customer... doesn't this seem like a far better deal? Their page seems very light on details for au

One of the key features of Everpix was the "set and forget" capability. Also their dupe-detection was really good. Do any of those do that? I guess Dropbox is the most established... I'd hate to be in this same situation in a

Everpix was one of the best $5/month I spent. I would have been willing to spend far more for their services. I wish they would have tried to bump the price up to save the service. Having one place for all my photos made me exceptional

Aside from the actual product announcement... I'm interested to see that they created an Android and iOS version at the same time. For the past several years, Android apps were typically pushed off a month (or years, in Instagram'

I was most interested by their Live TV offering. But does anyone have any details on how they get the TV stream? One of the slides mentioned HDMI In/Out - does that mean it's going the GoogleTV route? I have a logitech revue - and I absolut

So this looks amazing... and I want to buy into it... but I was just burned by Snapjoy several months ago. I feel like I'll pay the money... spend my time syncing my library and getting everything organized... and then someone else is goi

I'm pretty sure they (Facebook) will lose the ability to call this an "Android" phone - and clearly they won't be entitled to the Google Suite of apps. Further than that... I don't think there are any repercussions.

Personal disclosure - I'm not interested in a Facebook phone in the slightest (mostly for privacy concerns). I think this is an interesting concept. Let's assume it is in fact a total fork of Android, in essence, a "Facebook Phone". I reall

Anecdotally, it's typically the people in the room who are either a) late to the meeting or b) go off on tangents or c) cause the meeting to overrun. There are lots of good and bad things about remote workers... but being a hamper on meetin

I think you're on to something there. I've always thought apps that are enhancement experiences of websites that are free struggle to stand on their own. I think a free app supported by in app purchases of features the website can't match

I really like the app so far. A few feature ideas - adding a preference to load the story or comments first. That might fit in a bit better with some people's workflows of looking at the comments first. Also - I found myself wanting some "

Genuine question - have preorders always been this popular? Or are they a relatively new thing? It seems that Kickstarter has really changed people's perceptions of purchasing a product. People seem much more willing to pre-buy something li

This looks cool - but what is the advantage of using this over something like Plex? With Plex - I'm hosting the files myself... so I don't have to upload something until I want to watch it remotely. I realize that could also be a negative (

I think you're right - it only prevents the iPad from falling over. They probably use suction cups of some sort. If someone is determined though - they'll just rip it off and run out the door.

Several days ago - there were a bunch of stories about Google opening retail locations around the country. I think the reason they will do this is obvious: they want people to use their products in person. To me - for Glass to be successful

On some level - I agree with you. I do think people (while in groups) should not spend a bunch of time on their phone. To me, it's more of a courtesy thing. But surely, at some point in the past after books became portable, someone was shou

I'm not sure if you're being snarky or not... but nsfw in the domain is a good reason to give caution while at work, right? There are a lot of terms that, if in a domain name, I would choose not to read at work.

One of the most important features on a phone (to me) is the camera. I love that they're willing to try a new take and make a better camera. But why are they not releasing sample images? If you're going to push a new technology... back it

This is kind of hacky but... If you're willing to schedule a Google Calendar event for wherever you want to go - and give it a location... Now will actually figure that out for you. It will tell you when to leave to get to that event (and f

Here's the thing... every item on your list is laptop specific. I just don't see how it being on the Surface Pro does you any good? Ultimately - you're paying $900-$1000 - and (from what you've written) you're going to use it exactly like a

First things first - this device looks great. I'm willing to set aside the big unanswered questions (price, how are they selling it, who makes it, when will it be available) - but one big lingering question remains: games. I know that this

As a soon-to-be-father myself... this is the kind of parent I want to be! Kudos! Any chance you could do a full writeup of your setup? Good job!

I'm really happy for the Snapjoy team - I love their product! But to be honest, I'm a little bummed. I thought that since this service was making money through subscriptions, they would be around for a while. I spent a lot if time and effor

Hey - I understand! If you had to move something to the top of your to-do list, that would be it. I can't be the only one that is addicted to seeing my photos on a map. Either way - thanks!

Wow - this is great. I was just looking for a quick tool to do exactly this. Worked perfectly - within 5 min. Thanks! One question - does the Instagram API not facilitate location export? As in... none of my Instagram location info was move

Honest question - what makes it uniquely easy to roll out in KC vs. other cities?

The fact that the developer would only allow the app to run if the user granted access to their twitter feed would be very annoying to me. This scenario is exactly what Apple tried to help users avoid with Twitter permissions. I understand
