That was the case initially. About a week later they changed it so that if you sign up before some date in early October, the price would be good indefinitely. For me, signing up at the $2/month price is worth it, for others, I can understand that it’s not. 

Is this this available for iOS yet? I just got my Google Cardboard viewer (thanks, NY Times) and while the NY Times app works fine, I can’t seem to get it to work with anything on Youtube. Am I missing something?

So now you can see that your bag has arrived in Los Angeles! Too bad you were going to Denver.

That’s from Contact with Jodie Foster.

I wanted something specifically for breaking news and grabbed the (free) app from http://www.breakingnews.com/ (I'm using iOS, they have and Android version as well). It allows you to tailor what you see in the app itself as well as what will trigger a notification. You can flag certain topics you want to see and

Royal Carribbean's new ship, Quantum of the Seas, announced wifi speeds supposedly capable of aggregate bandwidth of 500Mbps for the entire ship to the Internet by partnering with O3B: http://www.tourmag.com/Royal-Caribbea… According to the article "This breakthrough technology solves that problem, reducing latency

It appears that this doesn't work at all with swiftkey on iOS 8, either using @@ or qq. Has anyone had any success?

This might be ok for a classroom situation, but I can't imagine using this for anything related to any kind of business. Regardless of whether you feel that the company might do anything intentionally with your notes, the whole concept of sending internal meeting notes to an external location is pretty scary from a

Looks like Kayak.com has added "Bathrooms" to the list of things that you can search for, complete with faux "ads". Pretty amusing, complete with a, ahem "stool rating" from 1-5.

iOS: Google has updated the Search app for iPhone and iPad today with helpful features in Google Now. In addition to new cards, Google Now will notify you when it's time to get going and remind you of stuff you have to do.

That's exactly what things like Google Authenticator are for. You don't need to be in range of a cell tower or in fact to even be connected in any way with the device that's running the authenticator software.

I've got AT&T and it's decent, but there are drops in some very weird places like on the NJ Turnpike. These aren't drops due to congestion, but due to poor signal (as I can see from the bars on my phone).

Thanks Alan, that's exactly the information that I was looking for. Personally I like the radar and some of those other features, so I'll stick with Yahoo (and the handful of other apps that, as you said, have similar features.)

How does this compare to the Yahoo weather app?

That's interesting that you haven't had a problem with sweat. Frankly, I was afraid to even try them (and won't, given the noise isolation issue), but I'm glad to hear that they are indeed at least resistant to sweat. Thanks for the reply.

I have a set of these but I don't use them for working out for a couple of reasons: First, I doubt they are sweatproof (or even sweat resistant) and second, because they tend to isolate sound from the outside they aren't safe for when I'm jogging outside, since I need to be able to hear traffic.

Sorry if someone already mentioned this, but a serious drawback is for those of us with multiple twitter accounts and only (only?) one cell phone number. Twitter won't allow me to use my mobile number on more than one account which means that I can only turn on 2 factor auth for one of my accounts. I too wish they'd
