For whatever reason, Facebook enabled this in my account back in late December around Christmas when they did their initial test roll out to selected users. I used it a few times since then. It works as advertised.

I really, really, really want to like Spark. But every time I put it on my iPhone, it refuses to either show notifications, or show icon badges, or show up in my notification centre, or SOMETHING. It’s so bug-ridden it’s crazy.

Just flew Vancouver to Australia, and then New Zealand back to Vancouver - 15 1/2 hours and 13 1/2 hours.

I had breakfast at his restaurant at the Linq in Vegas on my last trip - AND IT WAS GOOD! (No, seriously, it was.)

I don’t like *noise* per se, but I fall asleep much faster if there’s some kind of white noise, like a fan. I love sleeping with the fan on in the summer because the motor hum blots out all the other noise. In hotels, I’ll crank the AC fan as far as it will go to get a white noise level that will drown out the hotel…

I really love Tweetbot but find in my every day life I only tend to use it for a week or two at a time before going back to the official Twitter app because of Tweetbot’s lack of access to the full Twitter API. Plus the official Twitter app has gone from “annoyingly adequate” to “surprisingly good” (IMO).

Coke Blak was awesome. When it went away, Pepsi’s “Diet Pepsi Caramel Jazz” was a pretty good equivalent, and then it went away. No I just use coffee-flavoured Torani syrup in my Coke Zero.

I was an early Spark supporter but I have grown frustrated with Readdle slow updates and the general feeling that they bit off more than they can chew here. I gave up on it several weeks ago. Maybe I'll give it another try when they hit version 2 in about 5 years.

I like touch screens but I have oily skin and I can’t abide by the ridiculous number of fingerprint smudges on my Windows laptop when I use the touch screen. I buy a smudge-proof screen protector for my iOS devices mainly to avoid cleaning them 382 times per day.

Me, too, actually, though I’d much rather that the bundling have a custom time option, as it would be far more handy to have my bundles delivered at 7 p.m. than 7 a.m. But I took my 2 most low priority bundles and have set them for the 7 a.m. delivery and I’ll try that for a few days.

One further thought: My main issue with the whole bundling concept is that the times are too inflexible. I don’t want my bundles to show up at 7 a.m. I’d much rather they show up at 7 p.m. - that way I get my day’s emails about things when I’m home at night and have time to look at them rather than at 7 a.m. when I’m…

When Inbox first came out, I really didn’t like it. Google sold it as being part Gmail and part Google Now, and it wasn’t nearly enough Google Now for me and there were some REALLY clunky parts on the email side (like the fact it took way too many taps on the iPhone to delete an email).

On the contrary, I think Gmail proper is more likely to be discontinued going forward than Inbox. I see Inbox as Google’s vision of what they want email to be for everyone and they are going to push it harder in the future and start forcing migration over from “old” Gmail.

Immediately turned these off. Apparently Twitter either doesn’t know or doesn’t care about the backlash against Facebook for the same thing. Most people loathe auto-play videos.

As a Spark beta tester, I agree that it has a lot of potential, but I’m starting to think Readdle bit off more than they could chew with building an email client. So far, updates have been very slow in coming, and the 1.0 build has some giant bugs that are waiting to be fixed. It’s one thing to push out a more or less…

Yeah, it’s pretty great. The deal breaker for me right now is that it doesn’t support Gmail Alias/Send-As, which I use all the time. Outlook, Inbox, Mailbox and pretty much every other third-party email app supports this. Spark says it’s coming soon, and I hope so, because that’s about the only thing keeping me from…

It took hours for the new features to show up in my Inbox app, even after updating. I assume Google was rolling them out across the network.

From the Google blog today, “We hope these small improvements help you tackle your email faster and get back to what matters. In the meantime, we’re also working to add easier access to delete as well as signature support in Inbox, two features you’ve told us you want. So stay tuned!”

Google also noted today that they’re improving the delete function, which is good, because right now it takes way too many taps on an email to get to the delete option. When pretty much every other email program out there has a “swipe left/right to delete” function, it’s baffling that this didn’t come with Inbox out…

I've tried so many calendar apps on the iPhone I've lost track and in the end I always go back to the built-in Apple calendar, because in the end, all I really want is something that keeps tabs on my events, and the Apple calendar does that just fine. Every other calendar I've tried ends up with some shortcoming of…
