Google, WHY YOU DO THIS?

Saaaay, remember when I mentioned the awesomest of not-smartphones, made more awesomer by Google SMS Search?

Well…ummm…

Google SMS not working anymore?

Ironic, just four days after I discovered it and FINALLY figured out how to look up movie times on it, it gets the axe! щ(ಥДಥщ)

Feature phones get no love
Feature phones are AWESOME.
- The battery on mine can last for about 2-3 weeks before it needs to be charged up. I almost never turn it off (unless if I’m in a movie theater or somewhere similar). I rarely need to worry about conserving battery life in case if I need to make an emergency call.
- Many of them are small enough to fit into your pocket, so you won’t have to worry about breaking the screen if you were to sit down.
- There aren’t many cool apps like Yelp or Fandango that can tell you restaurants that are open nearby or showtimes (that I know of), but SMS has a fix for that!
- No tiny keys on touchscreen keyboards. щ(ಠ益ಠщ) (I actually kinda like touchscreens, but only when the keys are big.)

“Why your password can’t have symbols—or be longer than 16 characters”

Another pain is when they have some javascript to disallow pasting of passwords. I guess they think forcing you to type it twice is more reliable? -_-

>:O Paypal does that when you’re creating a new password. I just used the Inspect Element feature in the browser and in the source code area, pasted in my new password in the value attribute. Thanks for trying, Paypal, but I use Keepass to store all my passwords. You’re only making it worse. ಠ_ಠ
