I'm having the same confusion. I've read the blogs and understand why the keep refactoring and refactoring. But now I'm confused by what app I should be using.
Google Voice has a "chat" (SMS) app that totally sucks. Wait - isn't Hangout supposed to fix this? (no). Now I'm using Hangout - but Voice in GMail (browser) is what pops up.
And if I'm using Allo - who can I chat with? FB users? iMessage? SMS? Just my Google+ friends? The pie is the whole world but this slice is thin. I've given up trying to use 5 apps tied to an experience. SMS is the universal - I go there first. Since that is iMessage for me I get the added feature bonus when chatting with fellow Apple users....but I don't care. I don't use FB messenger because - that's on FB. Hangout? That's only G+. Having to remember which app works for each person is mind boggling - just use SMS platform of the phone. done. Now - if I don't have their phone# I'll use the app. But that's easier to remember.
It's my favorite feature. I send people on FB "Happy automated Birthday message" (literally) when FB shows the "today is Friend #890 Bday! tap here to wish them a birthday." Look mom - I *will* call you today I promise. The rest of you get an automated message to make you feel good.
Automated responses work great on my iWatch - no typing, just pick the appropriate answer (although new watchOS doesn't suggest as well as previous version did). Terrific for limited UI.
But I find most of these replies to be in response to "silence makes people nervous" --- you need to finish the TCP-FIN connection "Okay got it." Not sure it is all that insincere - just saying "okay" or "got it" or "that's nice" Otherwise they keep pinging with "hello - did you get my last message?!"
Gosh - didn't an article run in/. last week about having a Computer as a Manager? I know I read it somewhere.
This idea that "Uber" raised rates is false - who is "Uber?" The Computer Algorithm did it - there was unlikely any humans (initially) involved. Uber did it -- "they" are automated. This idea that people believe there's some person in a dark room controlling fares with a click of the mouse is humorous.
But hey - the algorithm did it's job. Raised rates to get more drivers on the job (although wasn't that also disproven a few months ago?). Anyhow- supply and demand in action. People could walk. Or take a regular (regulated) taxi. I'd suggest the metro but understand that might feel unsafe in a trying time like this.
I'll agree with the suggestion - although think Musk has enough influence to survive and make it go away. If real problems began he'd probably leave to pursue other opportunities and new management would right the ship.
As a person who works in a regulated environment - you can't make claims about something that aren't proven. The product must be specifically designed & tested for these *Uses*. Read the back of a Tylenol / Aspirin bottle : "This product intended for the temporary relief of pain caused by....(etc)" It doesn't cure cancer. If a salesperson tried to hint that maybe it did - they'd be strung up and fined (the drug industry has many examples of this).
However - apparently Tesla isn't regulated in this space. They can hint and suggest. The can say, "It is so good that most of the time it works as an autopilot self-driving system... but don't try it at home." It wasn't specifically designed to do this - so they shouldn't be able to hint at it. Customer's don't understand what this means - the darn thing works most of the time and they get used to it working.
Since the auto-pilot is designed to Assist the driver - the computer should monitor the driver and verify they are paying attention or pull the car over. Or NOT take over the wheel for indefinite periods of time. Consumers get used to this "not an approved use" behavior and begin to trust it - even make up their own uses ("hey look I can take a nap").
What was interesting is that Verizon has run the cable through the city - but customers just need to call and ask to have it hooked up. So they met the requirement. And that is where the problem comes - Verizon doesn't necessarily own those last few feet. Plus they strung it in places where people are most likely to afford it. Or not.
Gosh to think there might be life on another planet - but darn they are so far away we'll never be able to find them.
Of course - now it all makes sense. If I wanted to keep my subjects from discovering the outside world - I'd put it so far away that they'd think it was impossible to travel there and find it.
bahhh. I upgraded last night, my Watch too. Still here today !
Interesting new lock & home screen. Plus the new "Bedtime" clock looks to be cool. It's everything that should be in a clock (and already is in others). Better late than never? Still getting used to double-pressing the home button rather than swipe for unlock.
Although there is a lot of chrome on the new notification screen surrounding items. But it works !!!
Don't see too many new things on the phone, maybe because I have an "old" iPhone 5.
Right. It is one thing to be a whistleblower for Domestic laws and protection of the constitution. But he grabbed and exported many many secrets unrelated to domestic surveillance.
I suppose he could be pardoned for raising awareness over domestic stuff. And be punished for the unrelated stuff (global interrogation techniques, global surveillance, releasing classified documents to people outside the US etc). He had with him documents for other countries and also took it upon himself to decide what information could be given out to journalists - because he knew better than most what was secret and what wasn't. He was alerting foreign countries to how the US spy program worked. He was applying constitutional protection to foreign countries.
So while I say, "thanks for protecting America" I can't support the rest of the data he took with him and released.
Yes I understand that position. I used to use Gentoo but decided I didn't need to be that close to the edge. But I don't put iOS10 in the same league - however I will drag my feet a bit to see what the general consensus is. I've never had any serious issues with iOS upgrades so I tend to be willing to jump, but to reduce risk I say, "you first."
I love these Huge Stories that begin "stop everything because *some* people are experiencing issues." They never count the million or so who have found success.
"Don't update today" --- well somebody has to go first. Don't Sail to America - it might be dangerous. Don't go to the moon - it might be dangerous. Don't update your phone. Don't run with scissors... (wait - that is dangerous).
How the fuck can anyone know ANYTHING is wrong with a patient that they've NEVER SEEN !!!
The psychiatrists are supposed to stay quiet - an unofficial blackout on diagnosing mental illness in the media - came about from Lyndon Johnson "misdiagnosis". Medical doctors should do the same. Trump has been said to have serious mental health defects - of course what he appears to be "on the stage" may not be what he's like in private.
Everything produced about Clinton so far are short clips out of context placed together to *make* a story. This is "Swiftboating"
I had the same concern and wouldn't throw my money down. But my wife surprised me for my bday with one.
What use is a phone that needs to be charged everyday?!
As for battery life. Most of the time it only consumes 30% in a typical day - and I wear it ALL day. I've pared down the apps that make notifications (what's that condition called when everything Beeps you ignore it more?) - and I have worn it 24 hours on one occasion but had to make a few more tweaks to save the battery (ultimately it did go into low-power mode which just shows the time). If I take it off at night (and don't charge it) it will almost make 2 "work" days between a charge. A very busy day will consume 70% (30% left).
If I wave my arms a lot - the battery goes dry. Seriously - we went out to a fancy "family style" dinner and the battery was dead by the end because I kept raising my arm to pass a plate here and there and the screen kept illuminating. The cause of battery loss so far has been unexpected movement. The battery usually lasts all day - so I'm surprised when I see the Red bolt/circle. Which stinks because -- it is unexpected. If I play Angry Birds on my Phone all day I expect the battery to be dead - I know what I did - I'm aware of it. The watch --- unknown causes/uses - dead battery.
However, I don't travel with it anymore. Esp doing stuff like camping. Because it needs a special cable it is one more thing I don't want to deal with. You can't sleep with it because rolling around causes the screen to illuminate which kills the battery (and wakes me up too).
So yeah -- battery life needs to be extended. Right now it is great for the typical "go to work, come home" life. I don't have battery anxiety nor do I think about it anymore, I use it when I exercise - wear it all day - *but* also know that the charger is next to my bed.
aw man - you beat me to it. Yes exactly !! Now we know that Apple is about to release an iPhone 7. What a scoop !!!
This is lesser news. There was an accident and the photo of the new item was available in the catalog for a brief time period. Oops.
What we also learned (if the photo was real) is that the phone will pretty much look like the iPhone 6, 6S. Others are predicting that the 7 will just be a 6SS++
The big scoop will be if that photo was fake and the new iPhone7 is square or has curved glass.
I rented a car that had somebodies previous data still stored in the "radio." But it got me thinking- all I wanted to do was play my music. However, there was no obvious option (in this car) to simply allow music to play (via bluetooth). The "radio" demanded that I sync everything.
A different car that I rented allowed me to play music- only when using the USB interface - which worked well and had the added benefit of charging my battery (which is how I discovered this work around). Even this car's bluetooth demanded a semi-complete sync (although I could pick and choose a few options - phone/audio required an addressbook sync).
To be "secure by design" the requirements and use-cases need to flow. Most designers probably think of 100% ownership by the driver. Not the rental world of temporary borrowership.
Rental companies may want to place a "forget me" button on the dashboard. Only one car that I've rented had an easy & obvious method to erase the data (albeit down in a deep menu choice).
The Google Search App for iOS has this - when Google Now is enabled. I've been seeing News items recently - other than my upcoming events.
Google Now used to simply tell me "it'll take 35 minutes to get to work today, and the weather will be nice, you have a Dr appt at 3pm" But over the last month I've been seeing news articles with text below them "because you've shown an interest in X"
But I have not seen this on the "PC" google.com home page via my browser !!
While this is a questionable/. story (is it really news that somebody doesn't like letters and numbers?) ---
But I'll add this modernal social media "news"....
SAAB had the 90, 900, 9000 - and then had to wrap around with the next set of cars. So 90,000 became the 9-3, 9-5. I remember a somewhat humorous interview from them explaining it all.

"Hi - I'm dead" ? Scheduled for 50+ years out?
or "Get up kid - your breakfast is on the counter - I've gone to work so it's your responsibility to get on the bus !!! - Love Mom/Dad"
Isn't this the same group that "found" the Boston Bomber? Mob rule mentality with "that looks like what I want" Causality and Causation.
It'll be interesting to hear if there's any truth to this. Although "Believe nothing you hear, and only one half that you see." (E.A.Poe)

in the grand scheme... of course nothing.
And what do I have to lose? nothing.
I regularly leave the house without my phone and somehow manage to make it through the day.
OMG!!! the horror, the horror !!!
no but seriously -- mostly cute cartoon foxes/wolves, cats and bears. oh - and a bat.
that searching for "huge" in iMessage currently returns No Results
The internet has fixed itself.
I'll agree with the suggestion - although think Musk has enough influence to survive and make it go away. If real problems began he'd probably leave to pursue other opportunities and new management would right the ship.

Gotta give him credit for figuring this out. Another example of what happens when engineers do stupid things thinking "nobody will figure this out."
Yeah - they always do. Where there's a will, there's a way.
I for one am laughing at this find. It is terrific !! It was a curious situation and I'm glad he spent the time getting to the bottom of "why"
But... Curiosity killed the free internet :-P

gosh - I thought the next console was the iPhone 7 !!
exactly! who cares Why it jumped - sell and make your profit.
The market is like roulette. Who cares WHY your ball landed on Red?! Just be happy and take the money.
