I used to have the Gmail and facebook plugin for chrome. Once I removed them I was a lot more focused. Before as soon as a notification came through I'd check it. Now I only check them a couple of times a day.

Yea I know what you mean. I guess the point I was trying to make is it would be nice to have some influence from the team as we are the ones that will be working with them

One big plus is a lot of them have a middle mouse button, which is very rare on touch pads.
Ah but New Zealand still doesn't let the US nuclear powered ships in their waters! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nuclear-free_zone#New_Zealand

Why should they fold to the US government who is basically being controlled by the media industry?

There is a process to get someone extradited it should be followed

I assume this will only apply to companies in the US. Unless your name is Kim dotcom

I wonder how long this will last though. I agree the average user here is not the target market and people just want something that works, but surely services like Spotify are making inroads here.

I just thought it was an interesting claim. And I think it does need to be qualified at least to some extent. http://www.bbb.org/us/bbb-code-of-advertising/#Do

Or even what defines a mobile operating system. Curiosity is technically mobile and has an operating system...

"the world’s most advanced mobile operating system" I feel this needs to be quantified. How is it more "advanced" than the latest version of Android?

It's odd. I just looked at it again and now the square is gone. Maybe as suggested it was a rendering issue and it was just a coincidence that its was over the battery.

There is something hidden by a black square at the far end of the vehicle.
