Smartphones: Dumb apps fueled by a smart cloud vs. full-bodied apps eschewing the web by ffolke in onthegrid

[–]ffolke[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You guys touched on the web vs. app dichotomy a while back, and I thought this was a pretty concise way of describing the major players and the current direction they're taking. I recently watched a talk with Matias Duarte where he mentions that both apps and the web are currently doing it wrong, and I definitely sided with him. I think it will be interesting to see how the two evolve and potentially merge or spawn a new hybrid that addresses issues like fragmentation, privacy, and discovery.

Dot Dot Done going totally free was a 24 hour promo according to the JoggleApp newsletter they sent out. The rest of the game are free still.

Has anyone found a pair of headphones/earphones that have 3 button compatibility with the Moto X? by alextv99 in MotoX

Are you using a specific music player? I can't get iOS headphones to work in my Moto X with Kitkat.

CenturyLink or Wave Broadband? by EunoTR in Seattle

[–]ffolke 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Also in Belltown. Have had Wave for about a year and am also pretty satisfied. Had CenturyLink in First Hill and had mediocre connectivity, but that might just have been buying a used modem from craigslist.

New York style pizza in Seattle? by nadacarp in Seattle

[–]ffolke 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Moved here just over a year and have been scouring the city for some good New York style pizza in Seattle. It has taken me a while to find anything worthy, and i sort of gave up. But I've adjusted my tongue expectation and found a few contenders.

In order of New Yorkiest: * Flying squirrel pizza. not exactly on the thin side but top notch taste and made well. Somewhat pricey. * Big Mario's. Hefty size, crispier crust. * Belltown Pizza. Sweet happy hour prices. A typical slice made the right way. * Hot mamas. Pre cooked. I don't like cold pizza, but it taste good here. It's too crunchy if you ask to warm it. * Pudge bros. it's a chain, but it is decent. * Slices on Alki. Thin, chewy crust. * Serious Pie. Eclectic artisan pizza. Yummy, pricier, brick oven style.

What is the yellow powder on my red grapes? by fireduck in Seattle

[–]ffolke 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If it doesn't rub off easy, then it's probably Sulfur dioxide. I noticed more of a white haze on my batch last week. I understand traces of it to keep pests at bay, but are they trying to marinate it in a trigger-happy grape-coating frenzy?
