For sporting enthusiasts, you'll be glad to know that it's water resistant up to 50m, and comes with a running app that lets you compete with other watch users. I tried the watch out briefly, and unlike some other China-made no-brand watches, the Rockioo was smooth and the OS seemed pretty intuitive to use. My only complain about the watch is that the screen is a tad too large, and looks odd next to the smaller strap. If you have small arms, the watch is going to look positively gargantuan. There's still about 11 days left before the Kickstarter campaign ends, so if you're keen on getting one, be sure to hop on by. Be advised though, the campaign is far from its funding goal.

There are questions that some might find intelligent and that I confess to finding a tinge olixar farley rfid blocking iphone xs max executive wallet case absurd, Today's example: "What if you could know someone's grade point average, or GPA, just by simply looking at their phone?"I don't want to look at anyone else's phone, It feels as intrusive as walking into their bedroom uninvited and seeing their underwear strewn over the floor, And why do I care about anyone's GPA? Am I really supposed to judge others by the numbers attached to their test-taking abilities?..

Still, I fell upon a this YouTube video, so I'll keep going. For this is a wise brain from Dartmouth College lauding the fact that researchers at the school have developed "the very first app that uses sensing and machine learning algorithms to automatically track" your sleep patterns, your exercise patterns, your studying and your socializing. What's lovely for you (should you be self-obsessed beyond measure) is that the app does this tracking without your input. It simply intrudes all over your phone in a way that the NSA wishes it could. (Oh, what am I saying, it likely does.).

When the creators of SmartGPA (PDF) -- for this is the app's name -- have all your data, they do still ask you for some self-reporting, Once they have that, they claim their app can predict your GPA within 17 hundredths of a point, I can think of few things that would have destroyed by college life more, other than going out with Melissa and her friends that fateful night in my second year, Yet here are these vast brains insisting they know how well you'll do just from your smartphone, olixar farley rfid blocking iphone xs max executive wallet case They claim that "higher performers experienced an increase in stress levels up to the midterm period, followed by a gradual decrease to the end of the term."This is quite a shock..

These marvelous high performers allegedly had "shorter conversations during the evening and night periods later in the term." Yes, the more you want to succeed, the gruffer you become. You will be stunned into returning to college and never leaving when I tell you that these wondrous high performers spent more time studying as the term progressed. The no-doubt terribly bright man presenting the video concludes: "Imagine a world where a student simply checks their phone to see if their behavior is in sync with their desired GPA."I imagine that world and I weep blood. I imagine that world and I wonder what it would be like to be nagged 24 hours a day by an app, instead of a lover I should never have dated. I imagine that world and I take two steps toward my wine cellar for relief.
