Thanks. I prefer to install one map app due to my low storage iPhone. :(

Since I can not uninstall iOS map, so if you can only pick one, you choose Waze over GMaps? Or GMaps and Waze are more complimentary for each other?

Thanks.

shazam for face recognition? Sometime when you see a movie, you can't make out who stars in it. take a quick picture and shazam it away to get the actor / actress name!

I read somewhere that this is already been done, but I do not remember the startup name

I am one of this kind like you. :) I do not get tablets as well, but I own one (Nexus 7 2013).

To me, tablet is like a bigger screen version of a phone, it performs exactly like a phone (without telephony).

I own an iPhone 5 and I prefer iOS vs Android, but I opted to get Nexus 7 (and not iPad Mini) because

1. price of N7 is so cheap (bought one at mid $100s for 32 GB). Android tablet is much cheaper, you can literally buy 2 refurb N7 for the price of 1 refurb iPad Mini with Retina.

2. to read books and magazines (it is not convenient to read books/magazine using laptop and to read on an iPhone, it's too small). Kindle or any other e books can be read with an app that exists on both iOS and Android.

Thanks for the input. I have thought about it, but due to their instability, I am not sure if I would want to use bitcoin. Also the fact that most normal people may not know bitcoin, so it's not as convenient.

I just clicked their FAQ and found this

http://help.dwolla.com/customer/portal/articles/1181769-inte...

Dwolla does not support other countries local banks, so only US banks.

Hi Tim,

I heard of dwolla before, but I have not really reading into it until now.

It appears dwolla is connecting payment to user bank account, hence ability to avoid ~3% cc payment.

Does dwolla support international currency (or integration with many countries local bank)? I am looking for this option for international users that do not have credit card and want to use their local non USD bank account to pay in USD.

As I understand, Paypal integrates their system deeply with many local banks around the world, hence high rate of user adoption as it allows them to use their bank fund to pay anyone anywhere using almost any currencies + to avoid credit card foreign transaction fee.

Rather than employ the candidate with salary and minimum stock, why don't ask him to join as a co founder with decent share? With that, you will have someone who can own up as his share value and wealth also depends on his performance.

Just paid $2-5 on ebay to unlock your iPhone. It will save your headache.

How do I get tickets? It seems it's already sold out? When is the earliest to apply for it?

Thanks.
