Like cyprus, I'd agree with that too. I guess I just assumed that this entire article was about those "big ticket" apologies. Nobody expects a 5-step apology when somebody bumps into them.

I work at a community college so that's all I work with. I skipped straight to the last bit. Started a blog where I just turn all their dumb antics into nonfiction stories. It's a pretty awesome coping mechanism.

If you mean, "How can you compare Fleksy's tapping to SwiftKey's Flow?" then that's because Fleksy is designed to tap and SwiftKey has the option for both and I don't like tapping with SwiftKey, so I'm just comparing my main input method with both.

Yeah but he's not saying "make unrealistic promises." He's just saying to outline a way to correct it. So in your example, you can't promise "IT'LL NEVER HAPPEN AGAIN EVER" but you could promise "I'll try harder to remember in the future."

For me, yeah, it's way better. SwiftKey is constantly giving me the wrong words. Mind you, I'm using Flow, not tapping to type, when I use SwiftKey, so there's an element there of "not only do you have to predict what word I wanted, but you have to guess which word I carelessly slid to." I end up needing to go back…

Ah, okay. Yeah I just wasn't sure if people were going to have the same reaction to it as me, where I used it for 5 minutes and almost wrote it off.

I think it just depends on the kind of person you are. If you really do use QuickOffice at work a lot and Google Play Music in the car and Hangouts at home, then I bet this kind of thing is pretty useful. But if you're like me and use pretty much the same apps everywhere, yeah, it's probably not all that useful. I did…

When I first started using it, I wasn't impressed and I found that I was really slow. But that's because I wasn't typing the way you should be on Fleksy—with near-reckless abandon. Just GO. It'll usually figure it out. You can look away for a second if you need to and keep going.

It is a trial. Same as SwiftKey and Swype. A month-long trial is really generous though.

I was a big believer in SwiftKey's Flow until I used Fleksy for more than 5 minutes. Now I don't care about swiping anymore. It's a fun novelty. Fleksy is not. Fleksy is a significant step up.

Seems pretty useful. I'll definitely give it a try. I put Twitter's official widget on my second home screen (shows the 10 most recent tweets I believe) but I don't usually even check that all that much.

Given that I just read an article on The Guardian about how reading news can actually be harmful for you and doesn't meaningfully benefit your life at all, I think a valid alternative to all of these should just be "Not Reading The News At All."

I don't get how people keep making friends on Google+. I mean, maybe I was just using it differently when I was on it. How are people making friends on Google+?

When you're talking protein shakes, there's almost no reason to go with cow's milk. It's nice every once in a while, but honestly, even unsweetened almond milk, which tastes pretty gross by itself, tastes just fine in a protein shake and will give you fewer calories.

Man, what about ladybugs? That's what I've got now. So annoying, especially given society's way-too-friendly attitude toward them just because we think they're pretty.

Yeah Carbon might just become my official night-time Twitter app. I don't need all the features because I probably shouldn't be looking at Twitter that late anyway, but at least it won't strain my eyes or wake me up as much as the official Twitter app, which doesn't have a black setting.

Not just an American thing, though, as an American, I'll say that the deeper I get into the "real world" here, the more disgusted I get with my own country.

Okay, that's a real feature-add. I have a Moto X so I've got an AMOLED screen as well and I do appreciate when apps have pure black options. Might check out Carbon now.

I don't really get why people don't like the official Twitter app. I think it's great. Does everything I need it to do. But I guess I'm not a "power user" or whatever.

You could get the official Moto X car holder by Griffin. Pretty sure it's supposed to automatically throw the Moto X into driving mode when you plug it in. I just have a standard, basic holder and the driving stuff has always worked fine for me. The problem I have is that when I'm driving and I try to get it to…
