Weird. I wonder if you need to be logged into G+, which would be a huge PITA.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Worked for me, and I'm not logged into any google anything.

I just read an NFC application where a guy has a tag attached to his lighter that triggers IFTTT to call his phone so he can make excuses and escape from whatever is occupying him.

Hey. New board.

It never goes off on accident?

He didn't go into detail, but if you don't keep your phone and lighter in the same pocket, why would it? And if it did, what would be the problem?

Hey. New board.

I guess I dont have a system since I move my phone between pockets regularly. And I also find getting phone calls to be about the most disturbing thing my phone does so that is my issues.

We really need a new word for these devices.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Ugh. I suppose there's no way on the Twitter web interface to not show picture previews any more? I went through all the settings and didn't see anything.

Maybe it would be more practical in this case to set it up for you to get "emergency" text messages, if a call is OTT.

I get calls I don't answer all the time, so it's not remarkable for me.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

So it's time to replace my four year old MacBook Pro with a Retina MacBook Pro, and I'm trying to figure out how big an SSD drive to get.

For people who have large music and/or movie and TV collections in iTunes, do you keep them all on your primary computer? Or store much of it some external drive or in the cloud? What if your primary computer is a laptop?

I'll need the 1 TB SSD if I want to continue to keep all my iTunes media files on the new laptop.

I have a 4TB NAS that holds all my media. (And upgrading to Mavericks has - fingers crossed - solved the issues I was having with iPhoto constantly crashing.)
