To folks on mobile and RSS – I’ve opened tickets with my theme providers on the issue of a non-clickable headline. Thanks for your patience. :)

Ever thought of modifying the format of the “link-only” posts to a format you add a twitter-esque very short note on the link, thus transforming them to ‘normal’ posts? Not only would that solve the technical glitch, but I think adding such a short note would be little work on your end, (since you’ve already got a short thought on the link rattling around in your head), and would be a not insignificant value-add for your readers in giving them a better sense of what is behind the click-thru and why Dave thought it interesting…
I was hoping to just fire these off periodically without worrying about composing and editing. Yet, maybe Twitter should stay Twitter and this should remain posts. Stammy’s post was interesting…in how an Apple fanboy became an Android fanboy and had some good tips for those on the platform or thinking of switching. It was all too lovey dovey for my liking, tho – but that’s the nature of a fanboi. Android has a lot to offer but, for example, I find the back button crazy and unpredictable whereas it’s his secret Ikea shortcut.

Definitely not trying to push you that way. I like the link-posts.

See, there you go. My suggestion would be that you just add a pithy post text of “Interesting take in how an Apple fanboy became an Android fanboy with some good tips for those on the platform or thinking of switching.” Pithy is the key, both for your time and sanity, and for the spirit of the thing.
I never find it best to say one is better than the other. They both have their best use cases. The author of this article, goes on and on about how I found the apple like apps and features, over on android. Well great, both platforms have pretty much all features at this point – of course other than the completely open hackability of the ios platform.. that being said, that LAST bit is exactly why ios will continue to thrive for a large community. It’s stable. It’s robust. It’s easy to use. Ask yourself this question. Would you pop an android device or an ios device on the lap of a parent or tech newbie (or even just simple tech user) ?? iOs will win in that category every time and that’s a BIG category.
My mom’s having trouble with the size of the iPhone screen and re-purchased a dedicated calculator for her purse, for example. I’ll probably move her to Android later this year or next as she would appreciate a larger screen.
My mom has the exact same complaint about her iPhone screen size, and is considering a bigger Android phone for her next upgrade if Apple doesn’t come up with a bigger iPhone.
For people like her, who carry their phone in their purse and use bluetooth for talking, an iPad Mini-Phone (“phablet”) would probably be appealing.
Once apple makes a 4.8 or 5″ inch device, it’ll be over..
All my computers are Apple, but I stick w/ Android for phones/tablets because they’re a whole lot less expensive, especially for prepaid users like me.
Even the Galaxy S4 is half the price of the iPhone from T-Mobile ($30/month 5GB data plan)
But I’m currently using a S2 I bought off ebay for $100.
Paragraph writing is also a fun, if you know
afterward you can write otherwise it is complicated to write.
Great post. I’m dealing with many of these issues as well..
My brother suggested I might like this blog. He was entirely right.
This submit truly made my day. You can not believe simply how much time I had spent for this info!
