Do you have an iPhone 6s or iPhone 6s Plus? Do you love taking Live Photos? You’re in luck!
From today onwards, Facebook is rolling out a feature that will allow you to share the Live Photos you love with your friends and family on the social media platform.
The roll out, as always, will take some time for everyone to see, but all users will soon be able to upload and see Live Photos in your Facebook feed using the Facebook for iOS app.
Live Photos are photos that are motion enabled – i.e. you can see the live moments just before and just after the photo is taken.
Even though only iPhone 6s and iPhone 6s Plus devices can create Live Photos, all iOS devices running iOS 9 can view them in the Facebook app. All iPhones from the iPhone 4s on are capable of supporting iOS 9.
If you watch, you’ll also be able to see a discussion with retail head Angela Ahrendts about Apple’s “store of the future” and the company’s retail plans.
*This is not an ad for 60 minutes. We do love Jony Ive though, so it might be an ad for him. … What?
You can now book an Uber through Facebook Messenger! In promoting this new feature, Uber and Facebook are offering existing and new users a free Uber ride up to $20!
From the sauce:
“With the ability to request, track and pay for a ride in Messenger, we’re making transportation as simple as sending a message.”
Uber is the first of many transport services to be added to Messenger, but currently the feature is only in testing phase – available to select users in select locations – so you might not have access to it yet. If you do, simply download the latest version of Facebook Messenger and check out the instructions below.
To claim your free ride, link your existing Uber account or set up a new account within Messenger and request a ride! Simple as pie!
The Google Doodle today celebrates Beethoven’s 245th year and is a wonderful little musical puzzle. Apparently Beethoven was a little clumsy, so you have to help him put his sheet music back together in the proper order after he messes it up in different ways!
Happy procrastination and learning about music and Beethoven and Thursday! Yay!
… We’re not sure we have to do this, but what they hey. Go to www.google.com to play!
The Federal Aviation Administration just announced new rules that come into effect December 21st.
If your drone is between 0.55 pounds and 55 pounds( including any on-board equipment like cameras), you have until February 19th next year to apply for a Certificate of Aircraft registration, which then has to be displayed on your drone.
If you’re planning on gifting or getting a drone for Christmas or any time soon, these rules apply to you too. New owners have to register their drone before it’s flown outdoors.
The registration fee is $5 per drone however the FAA will waive the fee if users register by January 20, 2016. Registration must be renewed every 3 years.
If you don’t register your drone, well, then, next Christmas might be less fun. You’re looking at penalties up to $27,500.
From the sauce,U.S. Transportation Secretary Anthony Foxx:
“Make no mistake: unmanned aircraft enthusiast are aviators, and with that title comes a great deal of responsibility. Registration gives us an opportunity to work with these users to operate their unmanned aircraft safely. I’m excited to welcome these new aviators into the culture of safety and responsibility that defines American innovation.”
Well, drone owners, the good news is that you’ve just been upgraded to Aviator status! You baller, you.
That’s right, folks, here’s where we see exactly how we look in the 2015 Google mirror. What were Americans most interested in finding out more about this year?
Lamar Odom. It’s Lamar Odom. We didn’t want to waste any more time on peaking your curiosity on that one. Donald Trump was the most searched for American Politician. Add in Charlie Sheen, Kylie Jenner’s lips, Kim Kardashian’s pregnancy, What to pack for Cancun, and What is zero divided by zero for the most searched for items in different categories and it’s looking pretttttty bleak.
Thank goodness for other categories, saved by Stephen Curry, The Golden State Warriors, Why do dogs wag their tail, Better call Saul, and Sangria.
Sangria for the win!
Below is the top 10 total Google searches for 2015, and click here for the other category winners.
