When I first set it up, I was playing around with the user interface just to see what I like and what I’d probably have to get used to. I love how spinning the digital crown feels.

I also think Force Touch feels very natural for navigating the on screen UI, even more so than 3D Touch on the iPhone....

But, after the post was published that day, I decided to give it a shot and found out how useful this tool was. Although Delicious remains my primary bookmarking tool, having your bookmarks synced across all the browsers (I use more than one browser usually) is such a relief. And when a tool so useful stops working, it’s not a great feeling. That’s what happened with Xmarks’ Chrome add-on. It started throwing up weird errors and just refused to sync....

This is why I love Shazam (just remember to turn off notifications in iOS, they’ve gotten really click-baity recently). Doesn’t matter what kind of music I point it towards, Shazam identifies it all. It can be purely instrumental music playing in an Italian cafe, or a Bollywood song on the top of a busy street in Delhi. Weirdly enough, none of it’s a problem for Shazam. Shazam introduced me to Angus & Julia Stone after all....
User Privacy . The rise of social networks and their several-pages-long privacy agreements that most people don’t understand has caused many to inadvertently share more than they would have liked. Things got even more complicated with the rise of smartphones and apps, which have virtually unlimited access to our login information to several services, as well as to other critical data. Because of this, it has become more important than ever to protect our data from external applications that might have access to it without us even knowing....
