Please wait...
I dislike swiping, I never thought it was a good idea, I always seem to false swipe and lose an item. I think I am scrolling up and the screen thinks I am moving left to right.
My mother used a Nook for years before she had a smart phone, she is always deleting or archiving different things, telling her children "I don't know what happened to...."
Hmm. If you have a new-ish phone with a USB-C port, and you plug it into
one of those new universal laptop docks ... does it do anything? How close
are we to the point where your phone can be your desktop when you're at the
desk?
Fucking hell. Uber is now delivering alerts to my phone to keep me informed of "special offers".
I don't want to turn off alerts on the app because they're useful when I'm actually waiting for a ride.
Even worse, the text of the promotional alerts say that they are an "update to your service". This is douchebaggery of the highest degree.
Google and apple maps use your cell phone location information to monitor traffic in real time. Some guy walked around empty streets with a wagon full of cell phones, Google maps thinking traffic was moving slowly re-routed traffic around him.

Oh yeah, I had read of that one.
It is pretentious of Google to think they can get accurate metrics of traffic by counting the number of Android phones on the road, but on the other hand, every Jane and Doe has one, so trustung those metrics is not far-fetched, sadly.
