WhatsApp only supporting Google Chrome for their web client is silly. Should they be allowed to look silly? Yes.



Just because the application has huge flaws from a certain developers perspective doesn't mean other people will share the same view.

I use whatsapp regulary along with my team to coordinate driver & share info/media quickly to allow the driver to do his/her job and vice versa. Having a desktop client is a god send for this as switching between computer/phone gets very tiresome.

It won't replace slack but it makes life a whole lot easier. Slack is a lot more business orientated and that definitely shows whereas WhatsApp has the convenience factor for people eg. driving and giving us real time info.


Beautifully done.


^^ hilarious :)

Why not? Twitter, Facebook, Google, and Amazon all use a lot of Java. It's come a long way since when Microsoft shipped rollover buttons via Java applets in MS FrontPage.

It is definitely a work in progress, but it feels pretty good to me. After having iPhones since the first one, ios7 is refreshing and a long time coming. I think I would have been ready to jump ship if ios7 had been another Forstall creation.


pretty stoked on fingerprint for apple id
