A.B., economist.com IF YOU have ever flown with young chil­dren, you may well have wished for an extra set of hands to help with feed­ing, enter­tain­ing and gen­er­al­ly man­ag­ing the lit­tle tykes.

Frictionless sharing will go up? Well yes, more apps are adding to...

They’ll have to wait 28 days to add the movies to their queues. Creating a 28-day window between DVD release and rental period was ridiculous. When that didn’t work, doubling the window to 56 days was bullshit....

What is wrong with messaging apps
Recently some colleagues and I talked about using Facebook messaging vs. Twitter vs. text vs. email. My opinion was that for communicating widely email still was better. Why?

So I tried using FB...
