...yet the first article on the homepage is a summary of activity on Reddit?

Really?

"This isn’t the first time Windows Phone users have been shafted by the Mountain View company not willing to develop for the platform."

Bullshit - this isn't Google screwing over Microsoft, it's Microsoft being idiots. If MSFT built a YouTube app that didn't blatantly violate Google's policies, I don't think it'd be a problem.

YouTube wants viewers, regardless of which platform they're coming from.

welcome to 60% of HN :(

Shit - I missed that! Good catch - I only watched the video :/

Mossberg's got an interesting observation here, but he's missing a really important point: Apple's core profit engine is selling hardware. Amazon and Google make money by selling services and non-hardware goods.

Since Amazon/Google make money regardless of platform, they have an incentive to produce content for Apple's platform. Since Apple only makes a real profit if/when you buy their hardware, they have no incentive to do the same.

"There was once a boy named Milo who didn't know what to do with himself - not just sometimes, but always.

"When he was in school he longed to be out, and when he was out he longed to be in. On the way he thought about coming home, and coming home he thought about going. Wherever he was he wished he were somewhere else, and when he got there he wondered why he'd bothered. Nothing really interested him - least of all the things that really should have."

Except for one issue: it actually slows down the efficiency of the bathroom.

See, by splitting up washing and drying into two steps, you allow two people to be in the process of cleaning their hands at a time.

By bundling the two steps together, you reduce the amount of stuff in the bathroom, but you also reduce the efficiency of the bathroom.

This AirBlade Faucet is a great idea for low-usage bathrooms: less paper towels, less equipment to maintain, etc. For high-volume bathrooms, (airports, etc) this would actually be a step backwards to put these faucets in, if a goal of the bathroom is to be able to quickly serve a large group of people.
