I think this is a false comparison. We do indeed tolerate a number. But we also regulate heavily to try and minimize that to a point where we do not negatively impact society (i.e. speed limit of 65mph on Highways, not 10 mph).

I think right now, given this is all very new, we can and should be looking at regulation as we start to identify what shoudl be the upper limit.

I believe he's referring to the statements made by Chase CEO Jamie Dimon on bitcoin: https://www.cnbc.com/2017/09/12/jpmorgan-ceo-jamie-dimon-rai...

> It's just not a real thing, eventually it will be closed,

> Dimon also said he'd "fire in a second" any JPMorgan trader who was trading bitcoin, noting two reasons: "It's against our rules and they are stupid."

Note: This is not mine. All credit goes to Hannah Mittelstaedt. I just happened to see it on Twitter and thought it was worth sharing.

I'm not quite sure how much I like this. I can see my search results getting populated with a bunch of apps that I don't want, like "Game of War". This will be interesting to see how this plays out.

I have been using Google Wallet with zero problems since the beginning of 2012. Google doesn't need to make it more usable because it's incredibly easy to use. They need to market it better. Not many people know about it.

To be fair, the updated design (Material Design) is mostly back-ported all the way to 2.3. The user experience is practically the same on 5.0 as pre-5.0.

Wow, I did not know about that undo feature. That would be a great addition to Android.

One way they could do this pretty easily in my opinion (if they wouldn't do the shake feature) is to have it included in the contextual action bar when you highlight text.

Like maxk42 said, most of these are device specific. I will address some of these more specifically, though.

  slow scrolling response
While Android as a whole may not be as smooth as iOS is (due to the Dalvik VM if I'm not mistaken), this is pretty much a non-issue on most newer phones from what I've seen. Also, the addition of the Android Runtime, I've noticed zero lag on my Nexus 5.

  Too many crap apps in store
This is an issue on both platforms. Most of the most popular apps on the App Store are on the Play Store as well.

  Cheap hardware designs
Not really an Android issue. Blame this on the OEMs. Though, there are some very well built, comfortable phones. HTC One, Moto X, both Nexus 4 and Nexus 5. This is more of a personal preference. I could say the same about iPhones as I personally don't like the design of the phone.

  Music players that lack complex playlist algorithms
Perhaps not as complex as iTunes, Google Play Music is quite a service. Check it out if you haven't.

  Lacking mac integration
Any specific examples here? I have used a Mac for the past year and have had no issues with integration.

  Limited upgradability
Not sure what you mean if not OS upgradability (see below).

  Dumb OS features
Again device specific. Also, something you might see as dumb may not be to someone else. Personally, I think the fingerprint scanner is dumb. Thought it was when Motorola did it years ago, think it still is today.

  OS updates delayed
Again, device specific. Nexus phones do not have this problem. Moto X is another phone that is getting quick updates.

  Short battery life
No response here. This is my biggest gripe with Android.

I initially had this as the title:

"BuckeyeBox - Ohio State University and Box.com Team Up"

But it was edited almost immediately...
