Yeah same thing happened to me with the buttons, Jase said the next update will fix that.

I just tweeted him yesterday about this. I think his UI scheme would go great for an RSS app.

That movie makes my brain messy. This is the best timeline for Primer I have seen so far.

Doesn't work that way. Take a block tower and knock it down, even knowing an enormous amount about those blocks and physics, you simply cannot know how they got into that position without tracking down the minute vibrations each one made into the ground, each other, the air, friction, etc.

No it is a conscious acceptance of a short term PR hit for a long term business benefit.

Apple will fix it. They are working on it right now as we speak. They aren't stupid, and they consciously chose to take a short term PR hit in exchange for control over mapping, a wise business decision.

So basically you haven't thought through the business ramifications?

I agree, they definitely should show the train line, and probably will before long.

Tell that to people whose iPhones were fried by poorly made 3rd party cables.

Remember when Apple left Flash out of iOS and everyone pooped their pants?

How have I not bumped into a Gizmodo editor/writer yet? According to your photos and videos I live around the corner from you, or somewhere ridiculously nearby.

Same logic: Damn it Windows 8 Mobile doesn't have every single feature as iOS/Android and zero glitches on release! WORST THING EVAR.

How does it break Find My Friends? It will just use Apple Maps instead of Google Maps. The app will still work though.

The background blur of the Premium Rush photo looks bizarrely familiar. Was it taken on Broadway in Saratoga Springs by any chance?

I have yet to read The Algebraist, but I have heard many people think it is the same universe. Worth a read?

That bit about Earth in the 70s sounds very familiar, but I can't remember which book or other source it is from.

Already pre-ordered (I never pre-order books) so I am going to hold off reading it. Teasing myself otherwise would be torture.

You will thank yourself a thousand times for getting into the Culture universe. Such a rich set of characters, technologies, and concepts. Some of the best AIs around!

I know Android has multiplayer in general. But does it have local multiplayer using multiple phones as controllers, a tablet as the console, and a TV as the screen?

It does so much that I have never seen anyone with Samsung phones use it, while tons of people use AirPlay.
