Blow harder. One day someone might give a shit what someone who doesn't know anything about smartphones thinks.

He can live in a cave if he likes, and really enjoy technology free living. Nothing wrong with that. But if I does, he shouldn't about his opinion of which hotel chain is better.

Indeed you don't. But you're a gigantic blowhard if you pontificate about how Ford is better than BMW, when you despise cars and don't even drive.

In other words you don't know what you are talking about with regards to the merits of different smartphone OSs.

Difference is Apple had sales of about a million watches in the first day, just in the USA alone. The only reason for this lottery at all is that general sale of is sold out till June at least.

By contrast Google Glass, over what, 18 months, perhaps sold a few hundred Google Glasses. I'd be very surprised if Apple didn't sell more $10,000 Edition Watches in the first day than Google ever sold Glasses.

They already hold a lottery for WWDC, as it is far more popular than the number of people they can actually hold in the largest venue. And that too is a lottery to get the chance to purchase. So it's not a new thing.

Probably by some function of the number of apps they have on the store and the number of sales of those apps.
That would cut out all the people who aren't actual developers, that nevertheless have developer accounts. And it would be a decent stab at prioritising those more likely to ship something that people want to buy.

I don't think there's much danger of that.

No, it's pretty much you guys and the Russians.

Sounds like Android. Think I've found your problem.

Neither do I. But for site I use everyday, I'll take the app in preference to the mobile website every time.

And no, full (non responsive) websites are certainly not better than mobile ones when you are on a phone. They mean that either the text is too small to read and the buttons and links to small to press, or you have to constantly scroll left and right as well as up and down.

Looks like web developers got hold of some mod points.

Slashdot isn't responsive. (Don't know about beta, I stayed on classic.)

Tell me what's wrong with it.

It depends. If it's a site I use a lot, then I welcome an app. They are invariably better in every way than a mobile site. But if it's a site you're only using casually, you certainly don't want an app.

Designers need to use better tools. Unfortunately most of them stick to photoshop as if their lives depended on it.
