How long do you use a standing desk at a time? After a while, my back and legs start to hurt and I need to sit down.

High on irrelevant imagery, low on content. It's the same reason that I'm not fond of The Verge's layout (despite their great content).

Lists of titles (old Digg, reddit, HN) is a great way to browse links.

It's not an app... it's like the notification tray. You can't simply 'take' the notification tray from one OS to another. Same with this. It comes with Jelly Bean.

It's not impossible that this was done on purpose. Perhaps they will bring the feature to Chrome or Chrome OS :D

False. This has been photoshopped.

You had a good idea, and someone took the opportunity to build it.

You'll have plenty of more ideas! Work on your programming skills and you'll be able to cash in one day. Good luck

Sweet! This looks really useful. Hope to see support for Canada!

As I mentioned in a comment earlier this week: to many people, Facebook is the default communication medium for a large number of people. You can bet your ass it would matter! There are many sources of news that people can reach to. But people tend to stick to only a handful of communication mediums. Could you imagine if 'email' shut down tomorrow?

They also collected the browsing history of non-users. Freaky stuff.

I had several problems and returned mine for several reasons.

Absolutely. The site thrives off of a small set of human social weaknesses and tendencies. And when a competitor comes around, they do this even further. Each set of privacy changes is pushed out with a proportionate UI change; people spend their time complaining about the UI change instead of the underlying changes to privacy.

Again, brilliant but evil.

Exactly. Even if you try data poisoning (making an account with fake details), people can still attribute details to your account unsuspectingly. And you can't stop them from doing it, either. Very few people realize this lack of control.

Arguments against the Real Name policy are valid if all your thoughts, opinions, and actions all funnel through that one social network. In reality, however, there are many alternate forums for expressing your views with varying levels of anonymity, and I think that's a good thing! The freedom to choose anonymity between forums is great. I'm glad that certain networks stick to a real name policy.

Wow, did not know! Thank you!
