It's interesting that they portray self-driving capabilities as something that can be turned on or off, unlike Google's where it's just always on.

I think in the long run Google might be building the correct solution for greater number of people.

The most effective way that I have used: 45 minute work, then 5 minute bathroom break + stretches, then 45 minute work, then 15 minute break. Repeat.

The key is to understand that your body needs many little break from time to time, regardless of what your brain thinks.

For your work, maybe not. But for many people iOS has replaced their desktop.

I think there is something to say to how the media is portraying bloody rivalry between tech companies. I'm sure most of them don't have the same tension we have in media, and they are all hang out with each other.

As an anecdote, I know that Steve Jobs used to hang out a lot with Bill Gates and Eric Schmidt, and I also know a few Microsoft employees who are really good friends with Apple and Google employees.

I'm curious as to why you decided to left out push notification. That was one of my favourite Parse features, and I think it's why a lot of people use it.

Was it too hard or time consuming to re implement?

I'd like to add that this is a great example of how a great In App Purchase can be utilised in place of free trials. People are so against IAP because of companies like Zynga, but there are good examples of IAP like this one.

TIL, interesting. I wonder if they are keeping it just in case one day they need to ship other apps in Windows (e.g. Xcode, Mail, Reminders, etc)

Isn't this the time when Mac App Store supposed to shine? When they found something that's dodgy and linked to a company that has apps on App Store, can't they just turn on the kill switch? That way the malware won't have anywhere to direct the users to.

Personally, no. Even if it was an IDE feature, I would rather just learn it if I use it frequently.

It actually makes me hopeful that New Horizons will have a chance to look further on things in the Kuiper Belt. It's a very interesting area that doesn't get much attention.

My favourite part:

> "Celebrate your birthday, goddammit. You are lucky to have each one."

I hate it when sign up forms are very US-centric. Not allowing me to input 4 digit ZIP codes, entering birth date in US format, and more.

It's 2015. Everyone should be designing websites with other countries in mind.

What happens when you lose the phone?

If I told you to buy $10,000 of Blackberry stock today, would you do it?

Buying AAPL in 1997 is as crazy as buying Blackberry today. The difference is Steve Jobs, but some people thought he was nuts too back in 1997.

I wonder how big of a market this is. I don't even know that many people who owns a Genset.
