Agreed. I wanted to like Inbox too, but the lack of simple things like a "delete" swipe from the main screen (and the fact that because you can't swipe to delete it then takes a ridiculous number of taps to delete an email) made me quickly ditch it. I've been using Outlook as my unified inbox on my iPhone and it's…

Agree. I have a 2010 Samsung smart TV and it's the generation before apps on the TV really took off, so the only app I've used on it is Netflix. An HDMI adapter and my iPad Mini, and a Chromecast, changed all that in a hurry.

Yup, it turns out they scaled back the rollout around Christmas to US only and the global rollout is still to come. I realize now that it was during times I had my VPN active on my iPhone in Canada that I could still see the analytics because it was providing me with a US location.

I had this feature in the Twitter iOS app a couple of weeks ago and then it mysteriously vanished. Maybe it had to do with me connecting in the US instead of at home in Canada, I dunno. But even with today's update, there's no analytics for me. Weird.

I tried Inbox for a couple of days but have already moved back to Mailbox. It didn't do enough of the Google Now stuff that I wanted, and I don't use Google's reminders that much because Siri and my iPhone take care of that for me. I'll keep it on my iPhone to see what Google does with it going forward.

Word. Way to make a Power Point there, Steve. No doubt your team will Excel this season. Very bright Outlook.

Hopefully this dampens down Twitter's apparent enthusiasm for wanting to do muck with its chronological feed.

As always with Twitter, I assume when they announce these new features that they really mean, "These are rolling out over the next couple of days." Because on my iPhone it all looks exactly the same.

On my 5S, the iOS8 GM also broke Flickr's auto-backup feature as well as Google+'s version of the same feature.

There are definitely more bugs in the iOS8 GM than were in the 7 (at least in my experience). I'm finding 2 major things: some apps simply won't update on the phone - they get all the way to the end of the install and then crap out. Deleting them and reinstalling from scratch, however, is fine. And it's crashing some…

I put the iOS8 gold master on my iPhone 5S on the weekend. Obviously, it's an incremental upgrade rather than a wholesale new look/feel like the switch from 6 to 7. The biggest surprise to me was how good the speech-to-text functions have become. Dictate a tweet or a message and the iPhone types it out pretty much in…

Benedict Cumberbatch needs to be the baddie in every movie ever made from now until the end of time.

As a kid, I was totally a DC Comics geek - I read all the Superman, Batman, Green Lantern, Flash, JLA, Superfriends, Superboy, etc., comics. The ONLY Marvel title I read with any regularity was X-Men, and that was only when I was in my teens.

I've never done the mask bit, but otherwise, this article is absolutely bang-on. My wife and I always arrive early to everything - movies, church, etc., but PARTICULARLY the airport, and for exactly this reason - there is no panic in anything. We have time to solve problems and deal with the glitches. Our friends this…

Fair enough. Obviously, the thought process in my head is deeper than that. But, still, it's ridiculous that an event that the entire world saw a generation ago is now considered effectively mythical by a part of the population.

It's sad that the human race has come to this: trying to prove things that millions of people watched happen live.

Crazy thing is I just read the Thrawn trilogy, where a key plot point near the end of the third book involves the recovery of Luke's severed hand and his lightsaber. So as weird as this plot rumor may be, IT'S ALREADY BEEN DONE. Kinda.

I haven't read the entire comment thread, but please tell me there's a "YOU SHALL NOT PASS" joke in it somewhere. Because NASCAR.

The one thing I wish Siri would do is pop up contextual stuff without necessarily being directly asked, i.e., if I've asked for the score of the hockey game, it should remember that and pop up when the score changes.

This almost describes me completely. But after trying about a half dozen calendar apps in a year, I just gave up and used the built-in iOS app. The novelty of the novelty wore off (meta novelty?) and I decided I could be more productive by sticking with something long term rather than having to learn all the…
