I'm led to believe the issues with Clojure (and other JVM languages) on Android are due to Dalvik not being as friendly to other languages as the Sun JVM. I don't blame Google, but it's unfortunate.

It's never been a secret that Google crawls your data, and it's not hard to find people up in arms about it.

And personally, I'm fine with Google doing so when they're actually doing something for my benefit with it (like Now).

I seem to remember hearing this is based on Quickoffice (which Google acquired)

Office Web actually handles the files server-side, as does Google's own Docs/Drive. This is a purely client-side extension.

The same reasons [0] are why I have a Chromebook. CrOS is limited, sure, but the limits make the thing bloody near invincible (and amazingly productive).

[0] Hangouts are luckily the VoIP of choice for most I work with

I just append ☎ to my signature.

(I know it's a rotary phone. But it existed pre-emoji so renders most anywhere, where U+1F4F1 [📱] doesn't.)

A note: if you're on VZW, their (sadly hideous) Messenger app replicates Voice's cross-device SMS(/MMS!) on your VZ number.

APK size takes a small hit, and there's extra work to bring in Java libraries. That's all I've found. I've actually been using their guides when working on ordinary Java-based Android code; their docs are well-written and their SDK maps nearly 1:1 to Google's (helps here that Java and C# are fairly similar to a degree).

Think how exactly the alerts happen is up to the OEM, beyond 'loud noise'. The iPhone uses something similar to the EBS tone in 1s bursts (it was 1AM when mine fired, so I can't say with certainty if it was the same tone or not). I've heard similar from other Android users, but I've shut off the alerts on all my phones since.

I'd argue Excel _is_ a reactive programming environment: just not a conventional one.
