Damn You Autocorrect!

Technology is truly awesome. That is, until your smartphone tries to "outsmart" you and sends a text to sabotage your relationship. Let's call this A Cautionary Tale Via Damnyouautocorrect.com.

If you haven't seen the site, I suggest carving out an hour to be sucked into reading all the ways an iPhone can turn an innocent message into a miscommunication catastrophe. The following are hilarious and cringeworthy examples of autocorrect wreaking havoc on relationships. Prepare yourself!









Bwahaha! I only have one word of advice: Turn off autocorrect!!

Suck It, Siri: 'Google Now' Puts You to Shame

Disappointed with Siri? Well, maybe you should ditch your fancy iPhone, because the upcoming Google Now "is a lot more impressive," writes Steve Kovach of Business Insider. After using Google Now for a few days, he's concluded that it "fills in all the gaps left by Siri, and does pretty much everything else a whole lot better. This is how search should work on mobile devices." 

 

Among its features:

• If you've got a meeting, it will alert you when you should leave—taking traffic into account.
• Search for a sports team's score often enough, and it'll start sending you score notifications automatically.
• Taking a flight? It'll figure out your flight number based on your search history and automatically keep you updated on gate info and delays.

But the main event is the beautiful search engine. "Not only is Google Now better than Siri at pulling up relevant information, but it's also nearly instantaneous," Kovach gushes; searches for even esoteric info like "How old is Jim Romenesko?" yielded answers in less than a second. Of course, hardware companies are notoriously slow at rolling out Android updates, so it might be a while before you actually get to use Google Now. "And that stinks," writes Kovach. "iPhone users have no idea what they're missing."

Amazing iPhone Prank Tricks Idiot Frog

Oh god. This frog is seriously an idiot. Like seriously, I never thought to prank a frog because they seem pretty smart and it would instead be me looking the fool, but looks like I’ve got about 30 non-frog-pranking years to catch up on. Because really, any frog worth its salt in intelligence would clearly realize that the bugs he’s witness were not real, but that of an iPhone game. But not this guy. Nope, he thinks they’re real and tries to eat them. I mean I’m no PhD holder in Animals Without Earholes, but really, this frog = idiot. Wait a second… or is he a genius?

PEPPERSPRAY: There’s An App For That

Ever been chased by an axe murderer and wished there was some sort of “defense” app that could help you in your time of need? Well good news, people constantly being chased. (You’re being chased right now, aren’t you?) Someone’s invented a pepper spray app. Actual pepper spray. Attached to your iPhone. 

The SmartGuard Self-Defense Pepper Spray Device fits snugly in the included iPhone case, and sprays 6 powerful bursts of pepper spray at distances of up to five feet. Someone want to steal your iPhone? Hope they like to have “Jalepeno Vision.” Because that’s exactly what they’re going to get! Just be careful not to spray your own self in the face while attempting to turn your phone on or off, as the can is legit attached to the phone itself. Now, if only there was an app to help you find your car key as you nervously jangle them in the driver’s seat while a serial killer bangs on your window.

And good news ladies! This case also comes in pink.

Take back the night!!!! And also play Words With Friends!

If You Received A Random Text Today, It’s Possible This Monkey Sent It From His Iphone

Alternate title to this post incuded: “Humans Doomed As Species” and “Tell My Parents I Loved Them.” 

 

That’s because there exists video of a monkey who has learned how to unlock an Iphone. More amazingly, with a series of tiny monkey hands swiping and tapping the screen, he then send a text to someone, with the following cryptic message: “PsdkJeed&& kfs1%/qq/;sdf.” 

OK, fine. The text was just a random series of numbers and letters. Still… give this monkey a few more weeks, and he’ll be all “2 B Or Not 2 B LOL :) — Monkey.”
