One area where I think camera makers could really improve is in coaching people how to take better pictures. I'm sure there are some good mobile apps out there but as a casual camera user, I would love to take my camera off auto-mode and actually learn how to use the advanced features. If I'm shooting portraits or landscapes, it would be great if the camera could intelligently let me know, "Why don't you try this exposure/aperture for a better picture". Pretty soon I would start to learn on my own.

Thanks for the reply. Are you saying that all of these countries support two-way messaging? It's my impression after signing up and looking at pricing pages that many of these countries only support outbound messaging.

The 200+ countries is slightly misleading, especially when the title mentions two-way messaging. I've done a lot of research into messaging/SMS providers like Twilio, Nexmo, Plivo, etc for supporting two-way messaging in developing countries. Most providers currently only support two-way messaging in similar subset of countries in North America and Europe. Since it is powered by Twilio, I don't think it adds any new countries and definitely not 200.

I really liked this write-up because it focused on the practicality of the various security mechanisms. Most articles I see usually have a blanket statement like "All biometric security mechanisms are bad!". I think this article does a good job comparing the various logins and describing the pros and cons for different people. Specifically, I appreciate the author calling out when people bring up the "What if" edge-cases, where the correct response is you likely have much bigger problems at that point than the security level of your phone.

I'm with you. Before watching the keynote, I was looking forward to the new phones but the presentation made me more excited about the new Apple Watch with LTE.

I may be in a minority, but over the past few years, I've been trying to actively reduce the amount of times I pull out my phone. I feel like it will be liberating to leave home without your phone to go to dinner or go for a run, but still connected through the Apple Watch. Although it will still display notifications, I personally won't be tempted to browse Twitter or Instagram when I have a free moment.
