Bose Smart Bluetooth Frames Rock

My Bose frames arrived this afternoon, and they were the easiest bluetooth install I have ever had. I downloaded the Bose Connect app, pressed the power button on the frames, and I am now wearing them while listening to Alan Parsons Project. No earphones. No necklace bluetooth headset. Just put on the glasses and the world of sound appears. A weight has been lifted from my shoulders. Thanks to Bose and to Usemyframes.com, which installed my prescription transition lenses in the glasses. They are light, even if a little geeky looking. But, hey, I AM a geek.

Gmail Is 15 - Now Do You Believe?

Gmail Turns 15, Announces Scheduled Deliveries and New Language Support for Smart Compose %u2013 Droid Life. I remember when I first began using GMail for most of my daily functions. I endured derision from others, who claimed a GMail address was one step above Aol on the professional image scale. But, coming from the days when syncing my email clients with my PDA software, and my case management software was a hit or miss proposition, not to mention a huge time suck, I loved the everywhereness of it. Phone, tablet, computer number one, computer number two, it was always current, always there, and easy to use. Now, at 15, it is easily the most used, and best, email client on the web. And, with two factor authentication, and 1.5 billion users, and Google engineers, it is as secure as you are likely to get in this world. Yes, there are more secure systems, and you can use them in spot situations. But, for everyday computing? I love my rickgeorges@gmail.com address.

Gmail Gets Dynamic

Gmail is Going to be More Dynamic Now, Which Means Emails That can Update %u2013 Droid Life. Once I was told that a gmail address wasn't professional enough. Well, I respectfully disagree. I have a vanity law firm address, and I use gmail much more. It is fully functioning, syncs across all my devices, and is generally the best email client I have ever used. With two factor authentication enabled, it is as secure as you need it to be; although, nothing is really completely secure anymore. It does a good job of filtering spam; but, I still have to be vigilant to protect myself against phishing and spoofing attacks. For really secure communications, I use Whisper Systems great Signal app, which can send texts both from my phone and my computer. Now, emails can be updated while still in the inbox, and Google claims they remain secure. Since Google would go out of business if they are wrong, I am prepared to assume they will remain secure.
