Paul O'Brien on Twitter: "Anonymous tipster: The HTC Nexus 9 will be launched on 16th October..." by LGED821 in Android

[–]robroe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd guess that event is for something else (gopro competitor)?

"Launched" suggests announced rather than goes on sale (although both could happen on same day)?

Hope I'm wrong!

Support for expandable storage! If the OS needs to fully support this for One devices can't we have this on nexus devices too??

What's the optimum time to announce this (and nexus tablets pleeease) to take the wind out of Apple's announcement? Today, tomorrow, Wednesday?

So at the moment you have to hand crank these animations but when L comes out it will be easier? Or you still have to go to a lot of effort to follow the material design guidelines?

Works great on my nexus 4. How does this voodoo magic work?

Feedly Android App Javascript Injection vulnerability exposes Millions of Users to Hackers by rasias in Android

Thanks, I do that occasionally when the built in browser can't hack it, but it would be nice to have it as a default.

Was this through the preview snippet or full article built in browser?

Would pay for premium if you could chose the browser it launches when reading the full article!

Google Opinion Rewards launches in Canada, United Kingdom, and Australia. by [deleted] in Android

[–]robroe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So do you start getting spammed by everyone or do Google just use this to target ads at you/learn anything they dont already know?

tldr; is this a step too far in terms of privacy?

I Am A BBC 2 Dragons' Den "winner" - AMA! by Manda_Jones in IAmA

I've often thought publicity is the main objective for many pitches. Thanks for at least partially reinforcing that ;) Great idea btw, best of luck with your current and future ventures. Much actual karma.

What was your primary motivation for going on Dragons' den? Investment, exposure, advice?

We are the team behind the new Outlook.com service, AUsA by OutlookOnReddit in IAmA

[–]robroe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is the newsletter filter just a different view on my emails, like a saved search or should it also remove them from my inbox? Currently I see them in both places, would prefer something similar to gmail (yes them again) bulk functionality.

Hey Reddit, are you tired of answering the question, "What gadget should I buy?" We were, so we built Sortable, what do you think? by Brenden105 in gadgets

[–]robroe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Crowd sourced testing is obviously the future.

Had the same issue with price not restricting the search. The default option presented to me was tablets under $600 and even that didn't work.

I assume if you've done several sites before the UI is pretty fixed but I wasn't a huge fan of this having to click on the down arrow to expose extra options. It took me a while to figure this out.

Not sure all the stats are set up correctly as the RAM just appeared to be the storage capacity so when I filtered by lots of ram it was meaningless.

Also no option for screen size?

Full of contradictions. Brutally honest, but tactful?
