XBOX One seems cool, unless you're not from the US.
While it remains to be seen just how accurate this image on Reddit may be, it’s more than likely going to be the case that most of those cool features will only work in the US.
Motion Picture Association of Canada's Listing of Legal Online Viewing Options
Spoiler alert: it’s a short list. And a frustrating one.
Perhaps the MPAC should spend some time ensuring proper content deals so we can make a service compelling to Canadians. Like, say, oh I don’t know, Netflix. Or Hulu.
Also, Ultraviolet is not a solution.

Xbox One not backward compatible with Xbox 360 games
The lack of backward compatibility results from the new console’s hardware architecture, which is a significant departure from that of the Xbox 360. “The system is based on a different core architecture, so back-compat doesn’t really work from that perspective,” said Whitten, corporate vice president of Xbox Live.

The future of iOS design?
Above is a selection of some of the most popular, well-known or lauded apps for the iOS platform. And there’s not a gloss, “texture” or stripe in sight. Yes, we can see a hint of it (Spotify, Path, Evernote) but the majority have gone for a different approach. There’s still the evidence of gradient and a “top shine” but it’s a more subtle, radial curve (Facebook, Google Drive, Dropbox, Flipboard) that alludes to a sense of perspective or 3D as opposed to the harshly cut gloss of old.
Flatter, but not completely flat. I’d be okay with that.
Microsoft 1-0 Google
Google is forever preaching to users how they are not evil and how everyone should work together in harmony to make everyone happy. They stick to that mantra as they enter new markets, destroying the competition and sometimes even walking away when they get bored.
All’s fair to Google, and that’s fine.

Google can’t have it both ways.
Bingo. Bango. Don’t be evil…o.
