I recommend PNC's Virtual Wallet actually. It's not quite as nice as what you're describing here, but the main interface is a calendar which shows upcoming bill payments, scheduled ACH transfers, checks you've written, and your paycheck. It uses that to calculate a free balance before your next paycheck. It also has tools to schedule automatic transfers between accounts (checking/spend, reserve, and savings).
I've tried PNC, it is an absolute disaster in terms of website, app, fees, timeliness, etc. I have absolutely no idea why anyone would open an account with them.
What I had heard was that they had excellent customer support, but then they accidentally locked up my entire checking account for weeks and claimed they couldn't do anything, I just had to wait - until I literally contacted the CEO. I have, of course, since closed my account there.
This reminds me of http://www.grepcode.com/, which I used a lot before I had an environment that auto-downloaded source.
I really like that grepcode lets you see which version and what repository matches what you searched. It can make finding why something doesn't work in a particular released version of a library much easier.
I've put them on plenty of cars, they only seem to catch bugs which plug the holes up.
The electronic ones at least keep making noise, but there's still no telling if they actually help.
I guess it's worth a shot, but I never expect much from them.
So, they decided the following must be true:
- Textbooks are something that people want right away and can be delivered outside
- Students are willing to pay a premium for fast delivery from a nearby location fairly often
- A small helicopter is an efficient way to deliver thick paper books
I feel like they couldn't have chosen a worse product to deliver via drone.
I think the key is knowing what high school she went to. From there, you could possibly get yearbook pictures and student lists. Knowing an approximate age would narrow the possibilities significantly as well.
I would probably take a social engineering approach to this problem- if you knew her high school and approximate age you could probably find someone who was in that class who would know her pretty easily. At that point it's just a matter of either tricking them into identifying the photo or just straight-up asking them.
I think Amazon could make more money by offering an option to disable the ads for $x. Whoever is willing to pay is likely not someone to click on the ads anyway, but they avoid upsetting people who don't want to rent out their eyeballs.
The problem is any XML schema would be influenced by the opinions of the creator of the schema so you couldn't do a diff and get equally weighted values.
Why on earth would I want my camera to be running a full phone OS? It's one thing to build a camera into a phone for convenience, but when will having an OS and touchscreen in the back of my camera make something more convenient?
That's what I told a guy I went to school with when he has shown me Snakes on his Nokia phone. Who'd ever want to play a game on a phone?
And then, around two years later, I asked him who'd ever want a color display on their phone when he was showing off his T68. Who'd ever need a color display on a phone...
I also remember laughing about the ridiculous camera add-on for that T68. I mean: who'd ever want a camera in their phone?
In this present case, being able to instantly upload to Dropbox or picture sharing sites certainly has some appeal, but I guess we'll have to see how this develops over time.
I certainly stopped asking "why on earth..." when talking about gadgets though :-)
There are smartphones, tablets, netbooks, watches, ski goggles running Android. It is interesting to consider Android as a "phone OS".
Sure, your camera doesn't need apps. Neither does your phone. But just because it's not necessary, doesn't mean that it won't provide lots of benefits. You can, for instance install Dropbox and use Camera Upload to automatically sync all your photos to all your devices the moment you shoot them.
That's exactly what I meant. A camera doesn't NEED apps, but it would be useful to have the ability. I would definitely use Instagram and Dropbox Camera Upload with this device.
Communication programs would make synchronizing and sharing photos (particularly one-offs) much easier.
Touch-to-focus, touch-to-set-white-balance are pretty awesome and far more user-friendly than comparable functions/processes on today's point-n-shoots (when they're even available).
Applications would be able to extend what are fairly difficult-to-kludgy with todays point-n-shoots (HDR, stitched panoramas, night shots, etc)
You are kidding right? I said better camera, not better sensor or picture quality. What makes a better camera often is more features or a better interface for taking pictures, post processing them or sharing/archiving/distributing them.
How many point and shoot camera's can upload pictures to any existing/future social media websites? How many point and shoot camera's can run Photoshop? How many can archive to any cloud storage median immediately after taking the picture?
Many apps will follow this camera. There are already many Android camera apps that are far better than the stock Android 4.1 camera. They have a far better than the interface of any point and shoot camera. There are also already many Android photo manipulation apps that are better than any built into ANY other camera in any price range.
Down-voters are likely jealous Apple fanboys.
And your comment is quite short sighted jarek. If you think that a superior lens and sensor is all it takes to make a "better" camera you should stick to old school "film" cameras.
Their landing page for the product is absolutely awful: https://www.pnc.com/en/personal-banking/virtual-wallet-overv...
You can see screenshots of at least the mobile version on the play store though: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.pnc.ecomme...
