yes i'm sure they're going to add "get a new credit card?" prompts in there when you start talking about borrowing money or whatever

the new google keyboard is insanely good. you can depress and slide your thumb around on the space bar to track the cursor around to make edits easily. it never misreads my intent and works perfectly. Goldmine. Goldmine. GG

I do it all the time with my parents and nieces because it's nice to see them when we talk. or my wife when we're apart for a while. or when I'm traveling internationally and making a real phone call is a pain in the rear end. and my wife does it with her sister and cousins and grandparents.

so uh people with loved ones is the answer to your question

it is some kind of comment on the nature of modern man if people on the regular invite people out to eat with no thought in their head about what or where to eat beyond a broad category, letting google make all decisions beyond that

i assume that the next version will just have you type "lunhc!=??" and an uber pulls up with people randomly invited from your google+ and drives you to a gas station for their famous tuna wrap

wtf are you talking about, its totally normal to be bored and text a friend to say "hey, got nothing going on, wanna grab a bite?"

how do you read that and not understand that what i am saying is that it is weird to not have an idea where you want to go, or your friend does, possibly making for an in itself interesting conversation. i cannot see the use in having google butt in in-line about that

business have to pay google to have their results and reviews show up and Google hires call centers to harass businesses into paying up. it's not so much advertising as it is literal extortion, especially if they convince business that this is how people with disposable income decide on where to spend money

I think you might be confusing Google with Yelp.

my source is a bitter old barber. he claims he gets a daily call from different call centers wanting him to help boost his google pagerank or something. you're probably right though, it's likely an independent SEO company
