    Also it smart enough to differentiate your home and non-home at the end of trip. This is better than Android version in my opinion, it notifies automatically when you really park regardless you use a map gps, not only stop, and where - and automatically give you direction - shown directly in the lockscreen.
    Apart from the lockscreen one, you have exactly described the Android version, personally I wouldn't want this information on the lockscreen, so how is it better?

    I used to mark my parking spot manually. This looks like something that save me that extra work. Good job.
    The question I have: is it completely automatic anytime you park, or as it implies, does it only happen if you're ending a trip using maps to navigate a route?

    Unfortunately, they got hooked up with MS a last gasp. They became irreverent with the rise of the smartphone and MS purchasing the hardware division of Nokia just prolonged the inevitable.
    Right.  It wasn't Microsoft that killed Nokia, it was that Cupertino company and its loyal customers.  Or, with due respect to Mick Jagger:  "I shouted out who killed Nokia?, when after all it was you and me."

    Nokia didn't die, Nokia sold a dying business unit to MS for billions, while they carried on with their profitible business

    Sad to hear about all those Finns losing their jobs. 

    It's tragic Nokia got hooked up with Microsoft. 
    I think those people were destined to lose their jobs whether or not they got hooked up with Microsoft.  Microsoft may even have kept Nokia afloat longer than it would have been.  I had a Nokia about 15 years ago before I started buying Sony "smart" phones and then iPhones.  Getting another Nokia has never crossed my mind.  That's just me, but I expect many people are the same.

    That's an interesting member name you chose.

    So your Nokia phones were prior to even them producing Smart phones, so you judge all their phones based on a phone from back then?  So when you go to buy an iPad, did you say "well the newton sucked, so why would I purchase another Apple tablet?"

  • Energy consumption concerns loom over Apple's proposed Irish data center

    Actually ice simply isn't a big thing here hence the lack of ice machines in hotels generally. It's not very hot...20C is rare, which is why the place is attractive for data centres. Pubs will give you a pint (twice those 8oz) of ice, no problem. 
    I thought a pint at the pub was 20oz?

    a US pint is 16oz, a Irish pint is just over 19oz
