    Trust is knowing someone or something well enough to have a good idea of their motivations and character, for good or for ill. People often say trust when they mean faith.

        I'm going to be boring and say notes, because remembering stuff is hard.

          I think facebook... but in terms of productivity, probably instagram. That app motivates me to go to the gym!

          Otherwise, the camera. I does everything, including all your note taking!

          RIP

          I have never been across the way
          Seen the desert and the birds
          You cut your hair short
          Like a shush to an insult
          The world had been yelling
          Since the day you were born
          Revolting with anger
          While it smiled like it was cute
          That everything was shit.

            I personally killed my fb on my phone. I use every single day my alarm clock for work. My notes for grocery lists and solitaire for the bus. Though my Metro app is awesome. I just plug in where I want to go and it gives me my bus schedule. And with Next Trip, doesn't matter where I am. I just click the little bus where I am and it tells me what's leaving and when. Is perfect for being in the city and I just wanna ride the bus home. Though the most I've used it for is when I get released from the hospital and I'm alone. And I have to figure how to get home because I rode them in an ambulance and have no idea where I am! That was a fun time. I found a pizza joint and a bus stop all together!

              Which reminds me, Maps is a pretty amazing app too!

                The web browser.
                Life itself was a lightsaber in his hands; even in the face of treachery and death and hopes gone cold, he burned like a candle in the darkness. Like a star shining in the black eternity of space.

                Yoda: Dark Rendezvous

                "But those men who know anything at all about the Light also know that there is a fierceness to its power, like the bare sword of the law, or the white burning of the sun." Suddenly his voice sounded to Will very strong, and very Welsh. "At the very heart, that is. Other things, like humanity, and mercy, and charity, that most good men hold more precious than all else, they do not come first for the Light. Oh, sometimes they are there; often, indeed. But in the very long run the concern of you people is with the absolute good, ahead of all else..."

                John Rowlands, The Grey King by Susan Cooper

                "You come from the Lord Adam and the Lady Eve", said Aslan. "And that is both honour enough to erect the head of the poorest beggar, and shame enough to bow the shoulders of the greatest emperor on earth; be content."

                Aslan, Prince Caspian by CS Lewis

                    Damn. I had to go through my apps, for this one.

                    I had no trouble working out the least useful ones, like kamasutra, recipes, and the countless store and coupon apps. Useful, tho.. hmm. Solitaire and Sudoku both get the most usage, Sudoku slightly more so. Facebook Messenger, which turns the fb private message deal into a text message-like deal, has got a lot of use. But I think what I've found to be the most useful has to be, if not the OFF button, this GoLauncher that replaces the stock UI for launching apps, shortcuts and widgets. It keeps shit nice and neat, for me, as I can't cope with much clutter, not being able to see icons real well, or even read the tiny tags. So, yeah, Replacing the stock launcher has been the most useful.

                        Clear is pretty good, because my life exists in list form only. My banking apps because it makes some banking easier, and my YNAB app for budgeting. I don't really use social media or play games on my phone.

                          The off button? Because put down the infernal device and look me in the eye, you freak.

                              Dropbox. OMGs, I don't know how I lived without Dropbox. I have it on my phone, a mini-tablet & both home PCs. I can take a photo w/my phone, stick it in Dropbox & voila, it's on the PCs & the mini-tablet (if the tablet's in range of any WiFi). And you can put any type of file in there - which is fantastic for music.
