Isn't this just going to drive all the tracking serverside?

Hash up the tracking data in the app, send it back to the app's servers, send it to whoever you like? Same is happening with browsers and 3rd party cookies.

If you only enabled that location tracking you wouldn't be in this problem.... :D

Rock solid. We've have had 2 fire 7's in our house for 1.5 years, in the hands of a now 8 and 6 year old and no issues. Things are covered in gunk (like how they manage the touch screen is beyond me), and they keep going.

I don't use unlimited, I've side loaded play store, set age range, enabled full parental controls on play store and on the tablet themselves... They have full control, but web is blocked etc. Play store is great, tells them they need to uninstall things to install the next game. They don't need my interaction to install X or Y now.

They did manage to download an app that let them have full access to unfiltered youtube, but we caught that pretty quick. YouTube kids is great as well.

No, they use dual clutches.

Oh I hate CVT. I've got a Land Rover Discovery 3 with a non-CVT auto and it's as smooth as anything changing gear, you just don't notice.

Looking at getting an auto for our second smaller car, and CVT is like someone has an elastic band on the gears. Would drive me up the wall. The Citroen box at least comes with paddles which helps.

The VW/Audi dual clutch box is the best, you get the economy of CVT and it's so much smoother. Shame they are so much more expensive second hand than CVT autos :(

The TV Licence funds the BBC content, which is Free to Air TV, online stuff, Radio etc. It has no ads and aims to have as much diverse stuff as possible.

The BBC is awesome, I happily pay my tv tax :)

So he isn't pushing anything, both things can be valid.

You don't "need" jQuery, but you might not-not need jQuery unless you do something about those bugs.

yell.com mobile site removed jQuery from their codebase, and used that list during the process. Looking at each bug, does it affect them, yes/no. If yes, code around it.

I'm a jQuery fan, but sometimes you might not need jQuery, but sometimes you might not-not need jQuery

The benefits of side projects can also be demonstrated by "in company" side projects I guess? 20% time etc. (gmail, post-it notes)

I'm trying to attempt to introduce 20% time in my department, trying to convince the management that it is worthwhile is going to be hard I think.

Some of the benefits I can see, learning for staff, fulfilment for staff both of which aid retention, and potential products or product improvements that would otherwise not see the light of day.

Anyone got any suggestions of ways of introducing 20% time, other than listing benefits and crossing fingers?

(Sorry ;))

In all seriousness I'd recommend watching Adam Sontag's keynote from jQuery UK 2014 which covers the "not needing" jQuery stuff http://vimeo.com/97723665
