Can we get a properly working window.onerror? Currently we either get a very generic Script Error (0 information for debugging) or have to wrap every native method in one with a try/catch. This is more for error log collection and aggregation to understand what's breaking in production.

Google tried social without a real name policy (aka Buzz) and it didn't work. Google+ has better content.

You can add a soft rate limit with a captcha to make sure it's a human doing the requests rather than a spammer's script.
It has voice and touch screen. Here's a video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0xQ3y902DEQ#t=60

It's not the only one overall, but this one likely ranks the highest. It also is bundled with gmail because it links to gmail domain (mail.google.com).

It really depends where the crawler is finding these links. I don't think this is a mistake. It's possible that people are adding these links to their site instead of "mailto:" links and crawler is simply indexing them.

Offering previous iPhones as a price-reduced version works well for the development ecosystem (i.e. minimize fragmentation).

Great idea! I was thinking about using accelerometer as well. It'd be cool to track reps and try to beat personal record.

Re:How Google updated Android without releasing version 4.3

Or, they simply allowed for apps to release on their own schedule, because the OS point version wasn't ready. If they could of announced it all together they would of.
This, however, does nothing to solve update fragmentation. OS updates change the OS, and certain devices simply don't have the memory, or other hardware restrictions, to allow for newer updates. Those did not include app-stuff, the app announcements were just coupled with OS announcement.

Interesting to see articles promoting adding more surveillance cameras for all their flaws (bad angle, resolution trails behind phone cameras, etc). I would focus on acquiring publicly available photo data in real time at dense events and scan them. I.e. crowdsourced surveillance. I'm sure someone is working on that.
