Why, did your friends program iMessage?

But since Episode 7 is just Episode 4 again, would he really need to be awake to know the story?

Users had to explicitly download and run an app in order to be affected; it’s not as simple as opening a bad email attachment or clicking the wrong thing in a browser.

This would make a lot more sense if Cam had played a better game. He didn't have any Aaron Rodgers Hail Mary moments.

Texts are different, though, because SMS doesn’t have the concept of guaranteed delivery the way TCP-based services like email do. Totally agree with your sarcasm otherwise. :)

It’s funny how usability has advanced in some ways and not in others. I do think the user needs to check their spam folder every so often for legit messages, but maybe that’s asking too much? I just told Outlook not to filter anything at my last job...it was so bad at it anyway.

What for? Just for text chats? Is mobility important? I’ve used WhatsApp group chats and they’re reliable, solid, etc., and you can even use a Website to message from your computer, though your phone needs to be on because technically the message goes through the phone. But you have to keep that site open to view your…

There’s not a business model that can compete with piracy, so stop pretending that’s their only hope. I guess they could try to strong-arm the studios, but all that’s going to do is make their offering weaker, not stronger.

They’re way cooler than Rodimus Prime numbers, I can tell you that.

There are infinite prime numbers and all kinds of ways to demonstrate that. My favorite is that if you COULD list all prime numbers, you’d simply multiply them all together and add 1, and the resulting number would have no factors but itself and 1 and would therefore be prime, resulting in a contradiction (by modular…

Oh, the quick contacts thing...are you on Marshmallow? I think the apps (meaning Textra) have to support that? That’s a pain regardless.

That’s still not as seamless, because you’d still have to consciously switch threads. I think iMessage is pretty lame (Internet messaging that requires branded hardware??) but it’s effective how they’ve gotten everyone using it.

That’s annoying, but why not set Textra as your default?

Podcasts is in my ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ folder not because I don’t like podcasts, but because I love them and use a better dedicated app (Pocket Casts).

Right. Could they even avoid tracking it?

unless other countries exist...

that’s where it started!

Just like Doritos: http://www.nytimes.com/interactive/20…

What about to a picture of you with them?

You're sick.
