HTC isn’t just building an Android skin, it’s building a whole platform

Thu, 22 Mar 2012 14:27:24 +0800

HTC isn’t just building an Android skin, it’s building a whole platform:

“HTC learned that it can’t just change Android for no reason. A different UI isn’t better; it’s just different. Adding new features like Dropbox, LogMeIn, and Beats are smart not just from the marketing angle, but because HTC didn’t waste time and money trying to develop in-house solutions in already mature markets.”

Readability & Instapaper

Readability & Instapaper:

To be honest, I don’t really care very much on whether Readability is “largely a copycat business with a free model”, but one thing that I definitely agree with Ben Brooks is that Readability has “a heavy focus on UI design over UX design.”

And for me, UX matters more than UI. That’s why I am sticking with Instapaper.

Matt Gurney: If RIM accepts it isn’t cool, it can still thrive

I always had a soft spot for RIM, and was an early non-corporate adopter. My first Berry was great. I could type emails easily, browse the web, play music – a vast improvement over my accidentally drowned Razor

Misconceptions About iOS Multitasking

Misconceptions About iOS Multitasking:

All those apps in the multitasking bar on your iOS device are currently active and slowing it down, filling the device’s memory or using up your battery. To maximise performance and battery life, you should kill them all manually.

Dispelled, and nicely explained by Fraser.

Fliers Must Turn Off Devices, but It’s Not Clear Why

Fliers Must Turn Off Devices, but It’s Not Clear Why:

Yeah, why? This regulation baffles me as well, especially when I’ve been flying quite a bit earlier this year. And on those flights where checks are relatively less stringent, I’m certain that more than “two people per Boeing 737” had their devices remained on during takeoffs and landings (partly because my friend and I are guilty of it, sometimes)

And I still remember there was this incident eons ago, where I was politely told to switch off my Creative MP3 player while the plane took off. But I think my MP3 player had absolutely zero chip in it that is capable of emitting any form of radio signal or the sorts.

So why?
