Bad Ass move by Microsoft: Android on{x}



Definitely cool.

But Google/MS further proves that they have no clue how to market to non-geeks and women in general.

Tell me the last time you've seen a normal chick use a curly brace anywhere. Hell, they barely use them for smileys. Further hell, I can hardly understand these people in the video and I'm in the easiest demographic to reach.

Apple will steal this and do it 1000x better, with better branding and a name that people can spell and actually talk about without sounding like a total geek.

You ever consider that this 'launch' may be part of their development process for something much bigger and refined? Pretty sure there is a reason they make all the coding available and customizable.

It's interesting that the coding will be available.

I'm already imagining the slightly shady stuff people could build into their "recipes"...
 
>text my girlfriend when I leave work with "I'm on my way"

This. The title of their video is horrible too: "on{X} - automate your life".
 
This is one of the dumbest things I have ever seen and it will only further increase the number of lazy idiots we have in the this country.

To lazy to text some one? Have your app tell them everyday you are coming home! Except when your not coming right home but making a few stops after work. But wait thats when you have the app text the person that you are not coming right how but now shopping at target and will be late. Or how about having the app play music when you are Running. But then you still having to tell the app you are running, which takes the same effort as opening the music app.

Completely retarded. How the fuck do people even get funding for this shit.

Money is made when you make people's lives easier.

The phone should detect your speed, which will be able to tell if you're sitting/walking/running/driving.

Let me rephrase to something like:

Money is made when you solve someone's problem.

The bigger the problem, the more money you make.

Also, a lot of that product is doomed to fail and is only a marketing trick. Or it will remain that way for the near future.

Hint: What's the biggest problem with location enabled apps?
