If Spotify or Google Music switched to the suggested model, or at least 50/50 suggested/current way - I'd happily subscribe IMMEDIATELY - probably even pay a family plan. Please?

SnapCash and SquareCash are one & the same. I think it's a great convenience to add CC to my FB, but since I do not use a real name, do not trust FB, and would be concerned about my account being compromised (though it probably makes you enter a CSC/PIN), I will not be using this any time in the near future.

I personally use SquareCash all the time, and also use PNC bank's complimentary POPmoney setup to transfer funds for free (with PNC, I scheduled a partial rent payment to go to my landlord's bank account automatically every paycheck).

I was thinking about making my own as well! I haven't done any research but you'd need a smartphone dock, a good microphone/speaker (wireless microphones/speakers around the house?!?). Better yet, mount a tablet on the wall somewhere convenient/attractive (living room, next to thermostat, etc.) and wire everything behind it.

Change Android settings to always listen when screen is on, then keep screen always on (dims when not active). Voice-controlled App support galore! Google Now! Develop whatever you need/want!

The Echo is a neat idea put into action, but it can be hacked together in a much better way, very easily.

My car has a "sound symposer" feature, and a 6-speed manual transmission. It has a tube coming off the engine, through a butterfly valve, then into the firewall of the car. The butterfly valve opens when the engine is under high load, so that the car is quiet normally, and loud if you get on it (inside).

I really enjoy this feature, and have actually redirected the tubes past the valve so that the sound is always on 100% of the time. This allows me to hear the engine RPMs while shifting, instead of monitoring the RPM gauge. It also reminds me to be more mindful of fuel economy because I can hear when I'm wasting gas.

I can understand a fully electronic sound being annoying - and the feature would annoy me on an electric car like a Tesla... But with the setup that mine has - I think people are just whining and that this article reeks of sensationalism. Also, it can be easily disabled in about five minutes by anybody who can watch some how-to videos on YouTube.

Still not working for me. I guess I'll try this afternoon... HN, Reddit, etc. traffic I guess...

Same here - I just purchased my first brand-new car from a dealership, and never thought it'd be a Ford. I've really come to respect them in the last year and they have actually become a close second in my top list under Tesla...

But this really hurts. I hope they realize how bad this looks in modern times.

Been on 5.0 for Moto X (2014) for a few weeks now without issue. These bug reports appear to be for Nexus 4/5.

Is there a particular training kit that you recommend? What are they cons to this? Do they sometimes miss?

Seeing as the YouTube video with the most views, Gangnam Style, has less than 2.2 billion views as of today... And the top channel has less than 7.1 billion views... I think the tip amount would need to be closer to $0.10/view, which I personally would not pay.

The OnePlus One is $349 for the 64 GB model right now. $299 for 16 GB. I was just on their website regretting my Moto X (2014) purchase.

Edit: I should mention that I love my Moto X, especially with Android L - But the OnePlus One comes with Cyanogen, +1 GB of RAM, double the storage, much bigger battery, probably a better back camera, seemingly better screen/microphones, definitely better front camera... For almost $100 less. Ouch.

I will never use an Uber car due to the activities they have been caught participating in. Everybody around me knows that I have intense dislike for them and recommend Lyft instead.

However, I feel like your comment is unfair in attacking HN - Most of what I've read against Uber has come from this site.

Either way, I was very disappointed to see today's news.

Thanks for posting this. If nothing else, at least we're looking at the data and having a discussion about it. :(
