I agree with that, but to an extent. The problem I've had lately is just too many notifications, too many distractions. I'd rather have the ability to filter things like known vs unknown numbers and SMS, but even that is crazy hard to figure out. It can be personalized, but it'll change based on my mood and level of…

So agree. If only Android tablets had better displays...though there was a Samsung with an OLED screen that was kickass for movies. Just gorgeous. Can't remember which one it was t this point, was at least 3 years ago.

I 'd get it, but I stopped using Mailbox after I got my email to inbox zero. It's great for getting you there, but the limitation of working only for Gmail makes other clients so much better nowadays. I'm using Acompli and just standard Mail, which are both better (Acompli is in beta).

The idea is simple. Love it. The problem is it's so easy to do this on a calendar...meaning any desktop, web, or mobile calendar (as either an event or task), that there's no real reason to pay $1 for this app when you can do it for free with tons of other stuff. The reality is that while everyone is willing to get…

Can't please everybody.

Missed a few:

All great points. I'd add one side note to #4: don't overdo the personal brand. A few years back I had a "marketing expert" tell me to make my own company (on paper only, not actually create one) and market that as my brand. That turned out to be a huge dud because around that time everyone was tired of marketing BS…

App support can be a big part, but most people don't buy a tablet for apps. They buy it for multimedia use (or, on rare occasion, business use). All of the major media companies are on both (meaning streaming music, videos, etc.). Native gaming is significantly more popular on iOS and iPad, whereas emulation and…

That's only half-true, and the title is extremely misleading because of it. Sure, iOS is fairly smart and will close apps when it needs additional resources for whatever's open. However, the benefit of closing apps is not to clear out the ram, but to stop them from running and hogging resources at all. So yes, closing…

Pretty sure I answered this when I saw the original post as well. My mom used to work in a bank and said that no one ever checks the signature, so while it is required by law, so are hundreds (likely thousands) of other things that nobody either checks, cares about, or it just doesn't actually matter. And her…

This looks awesome. Looks like I missed the first 2,000 though. Damn. Would love to try it out.

I've got some 50 calendar apps, on iPhone and Android, and I completely agree. Sunrise is the best. And as a beta user, I can also say with complete certainty that it's so much better than you guys even know...I am just blown away by how great it is.

I like the principle, though I can see how this can (and will) be completely overused and make people reliant on the service. I'd love to have a basic on/off switch setting for it, for extremely important emails. I don't need to know about all emails from a single account, I need to know about specific ones.

Receiving, no. Sending, yes.

TL;DR Answer: if it uses a physical disk (hard drive), not a Solid State Drive (SSD), don't leave it when moving faster than 5MPH. Carry with caution. If it's an SSD, throw the thing and the wall and your data is still safe.

Don't get sick!

Meh. As long as you're not buddy-buddy with her, it may sting a bit. The parents that are hit the hardest by that are those that are friends with their kids at that age. As adults, sure. As teenagers...seriously how can you be friends with teenagers?

Not a parent myself (two significantly younger siblings), and whenever they said I or my parents were mean, it was always taken as a compliment, usually followed by "Thank you" or "and don't you forget it!". Guardian's job isn't to be nice, it's to protect and ensure growth. That requires firmness much more than…

I've played around with both of these, and for 7.1 as it is now, there's no real point in doing either one. The brightness doesn't really get smoothed out, and if you're unhappy with how cold the colors are, then hopefully you didn't upgrade to 7.1 and can jailbreak and use F.lux. Inverting doesn't really help because…

Is this for a full-time position, or can we actually manage to write while still having another job so that, you know, we have something else to be overly-productive for?
