I spend an hour a day on Twitter during my Caltrain commute.
I click on links that open up a UIWebView and read articles on the web.
Does that count as one hour in an "app"? In reality, it's more like 20% in the app and 80% following shared web links.

The balance of a subjective, sensationalist headline with objective statistical simulation was impressive.
I'm a huge Heroku fan using Cedar/Java, but can't help but wonder how many optimization options remain for Rails Developers, assuming nothing else changes on Heroku:
* Serving static HTML from CDN * Unicorn * Redis caching with multiget requests

Displacing Intel's base != disrupting.
Innovators dilemma raises the question "will market demand shift to products where ARM has already displaced x86? (i.e. mobile and tablets)"
