Re:What you pay attention to when buying a new phone?
on Friday December 07, 2018 @09:41PM (#18633550)
Must Haves:
1. Battery Size -- phones should last atleast a whole day of use
2. Smaller Screen Size (5") (I dont need a phablet) -- I dont need huge ass screen. I have laptop for that.. I just need to read a few emails, message and take phone calls. Small screen is easy to hold and less changes of dropping.
3. NFC / Contactless payment enabled -- This getting to must haves as new applications like pairing over bluetooth headphones via nfc, paying for groceries is getting contact less.
4. Compatible with International Standards -- I do travel and hence would need phone to be compatible with various wireless standards.
Nice to haves
1. Wireless charging -- This is a great luxury to just place the phone on a mat and not worry about whether the wire is connected correctly (considering some companies keep switching wire formats -- I am taking about Apple as you must have guessed.)
2. Headphone jacks -- There is an ongoing war on headphone jacks -- Want to charge your phone and listen to music? well, you are out of luck.. you cant if you dont have headphone jack. Bring back headphone jack.
3. Expandable memory -- 32 GB vs 128 GB its ridiculous that there is a difference of $100 or more?.
4. Ability to uninstall all or any apps.. I dont want another (MUST have Homescreen app) -- Choose Android One if possible.
5. Okish Camera -- Not much of a photo snob.
6. Fingerprint scanner for easy unlocks.

Re:Netflix Replacing Star Ratings With Thumbs Ups and Thumbs Down
on Friday March 17, 2017 @01:45PM (#13896147)
My Previous ratings already in Netflix, was the reason for being there. This dumbed down version of up/down voting is ridiculous. Most companies become sophisticated. Netflix is going backwards in time.
All in all this is a RIDICULOUS move. I wish I could download all my previous ratings before they remove them!

Not to market this app but I highly recommend "Sworkit" app. Tag line: "No Gym, No Excuse"
PS: I did workout today using that app.
