“The assumption everyone is hurried leads us to strip out important features. Example: Alibris is differentiated by selling out-of-print & rare books but they stripped this feature out of the mobile experience. Intentionally. Because they assumed people would not make commitments to pricey books online. At the same time, eBay mobile sells thousands of cars on mobile. 25% of adult mobile users in the US rarely ever use the desktop to get online. That’s 8% of US adults that exclusively use the mobile Web. They need access to your core functionality.”

“The system Back key is used to navigate based on the history of screens the user has recently seen, in reverse chronological order—in effect, the temporal relationships between screens. When the previously viewed screen is also the hierarchical parent of the current screen, pressing the Back key will have the same result as pressing an Up button — this is a common occurrence. However, unlike the Up button, which ensures the user remains within your app, the Back key can return the user to the Home screen, or even to a different application.”

“

WASHINGTON — Militants in Iraq have used $26 off-the-shelf software to intercept live video feeds from U.S. Predator drones, potentially providing them with information they need to evade or monitor U.S. military operations.

Senior defense and intelligence officials said Iranian-backed insurgents intercepted the video feeds by taking advantage of an unprotected communications link in some of the remotely flown planes’ systems. Shiite fighters in Iraq used software programs such as SkyGrabber — available for as little as $25.95 on the Internet — to regularly capture drone video feeds, according to a person familiar with reports on the matter.

“He can also be hard to understand. In response to a question in March about why RIM expects gross margins to increase, [co-CEO Jim] Balsillie said: “I’ll just be blunt. I mean, we have just really an outstanding set of new product introduction, which is cutting over new architectures. And the capability of these, we haven’t talked about, but it’s a major, major step-up.…So quite frankly, it’s a time of cutting over and it’s a heavy cutting-over time.””
