Maybe they should put down the phones and go outside. Yeesh, I spent my summers playing basketball with my friends. Maybe if they put down the phone and actually physically interact with people, they won't be bored. It's a huge world, more than FB, Instagram and snap. It's no different than when I was a kid and I got sick and watched TV all day.

Comment How does the car acknowledge it sees you? (Score 1) 953

As a pedestrian I can often look at the driver and determine if they have seen me. They're looking in my direction, or at me directly, or they'll wave/motion their hand for me to proceed across the street. This is very often the case when there's a crosswalk with no light/stop-sign.

How can a self driving car provide this acknowledgement? So that I know that the car sees me so I know for a fact it's safe to cross the street?

Google keep is available on iOS. Just download the app and away you go. I use it all the time for my grocery list. I input the list on my mac, and then access it in the store via my iPhone. I love being able to dismiss line items that I've put into my cart, so the list doesn't become a mix of checked and unchecked lines, by the end the checked items are all at the bottom.

I just wish it you could bold individual lines, so I could bold the store names. Instead I have to put ***STORE1*** before the items, then ***STORE2*** with it's items...

Comment It's good enough. (Score 1) 222

I've got an iPhone 6 with 16GB of storage. I was quickly out of space until I decided to put all my photos on google photo and I switched companies from an Exchange based company to a gmail based company. Now the only thing I have on the phone is the few apps and some music.
