"it's in Apple's self-interest to open the ecosystem... not because it's profitable, but because it's the right thing for all smartphone users. Apple should act sooner rather than later before the walled garden they created becomes another Maginot line."

The @tecnomobile Mondrian Edition phone's back panel uses polychromatic photoisomer technology to change color in sunlight (Piet Mondrian -style), and back again indoors. It happens fast. It feels like magic. 5/5

Stepping on the bath mat with soaking wet feet is inconsiderate to your housemates and it makes you a bad person who can't take three seconds to rub a towel on their feet. RT if you agree, QT if you agree, fave if you agree, reply if you agree, scroll on if you agree.

Thanks for your quick build bus seat recommendations in March. We are moving forward with seats from simmeseat.com and aim to have them installed at roughly 50 #bus stops in Emeryville currently without seating before the end of the year. Our Public Works team is #1!
