Mind sharing how you hooked the two apps together? Applescript?

The promise of the Surface was that it could deliver a best-in-class tablet experience, but then transform into the PC you needed when heavier lifting was required. Instead of putting down my tablet and picking up my laptop, I would just snap on my keyboard and get my work done. But that's not what the Surface offers, at least not in my experience. It does the job of a tablet and the job of a laptop half as well as other devices on the market, and it often makes that job harder, not easier. Instead of being a no-compromise device, it often feels like a more-compromise one.
It shouldn't even be that hard to collect. LinkedIn in a massive data repository about what jobs people have had. Should be a fun analysis.
Many more users are going to have Facebook logins already, and it provides social information that may be useful to your app.
(Hoping to hear answers other than the dev-centric 'I don't like facebook')
- 2007: Street View released
- 2007: DARPA Urban Challenge
- After 2007: Google hires several of the teams that won. This is where they got most of their expertise in self driving cars.
- Also note that the Urban Challenge winners didn't rely on "lots of data" but instead "lots of sensors"
Not really a fan of this type of random speculation.
Facebook Messages: Tell us who your friends are -- those messages are important.
Love the contrast, and think each speaks volumes about the company behind it.
1) Readability got popular. It's a good idea so they baked it into the browser.
2) There is plenty of money in ads. Apple decided they wanted some of this money instead of funneling it to a direct competitor.
I prefer the conspiracy idea myself.
Assuming you're the author of the article, you're clearly not paying attention. Show me the android phone that has a 326 dpi screen, a 9mm case, an outrageously good battery life, or the attention to detail that a design-driven company like Apple puts into its products. If you're not willing to admit these things, you're not having an honest discussion.
(And this doesn't even get to the annoying Android v Apple deathmatch fallacy)
More generally, flamebait articles that paint this as the great Android vs Apple war are maddening. They are pieces of software, not wrestlers. One does not have to fail for the other to succeed.
