Because I'm super cautious and careful, not to mention lazy and skint, I have only just set up android pay on my phone. It's awesome. And paying for you Tesco meal deal with a casual flick of your phone makes all surrounding panties damp and other men cower in inferiority.

Probably. It felt like that anyway.

What, "selling things for money?" I think there's some prior art.

Actually -- kidding aside, now -- not at all. We spend literally our entire working lives identifying and fixing the broken stuff, right? So we have exactly zero fanboyish illusions about how perfect everything is.

You can't get the Really Blue one in the UK, which is clearly the best one :(

Apparently you will be able to one day, though.

It has the same wireless charging functionality as Google's new £600 Pixel phone does.

Yep. When you plan your route, there's a bit at the top that says what time it's planned for - you can change it there.

Don't think so - I can see 'create new alblum/collage/animation/movie' but nothing for panorama. Maybe they don't trust people not to try and stitch wildly different pictures together.

Not much help after the event, but you could've take a panorama with the camera. Or, afterwards, I suppose you download a photo stitching app of some sort.

The usually reliable and excellent Google Now screen, has become distinctly erratic over the last few weeks.

For absolutely no reason I can possibly fathom it's decided that I'm really interested in American Football, specifically any matches that the Dallas Cowboys are playing in.

It's started putting recent news about them at the top of my Google Now feed, offered me video links, and has now even started blipping notifications at me about games that are in progress. (The Cleveland Browns are up 3:0 against the Dallas Cowboys right now!)

I aggressively swipe away/clear anything and fucking everything that it foists upon me relating to them, but they just keep coming back. It's getting quite annoying.

Now, I log into my Google account on every device I use, so that's main PC, media centre PC, kitchen PC, smartphone, Shield tablet, Chromebook, and occasional use of upstairs media centre PC - but never, ever, have I shown any interest whatsoever in the Dallas Cowboys on any of those devices, or read anything about them, or any other tangentially related activity I can think of.

I have wondered if it's some strange porn thing it's got a handle on somehow but I don't like cowboys in that way and besides which that's what Firefox in Private Window mode is for.

I've checked the customise options and there are no entries for sport in there, nor have there ever been. It does have a history on some things I've told it to fuck off about, like 'Interested in cricket?' to which the answer was of course 'NO'.

OH MY GOD EVEN AS I TYPE THIS POST IT'S COME BACK AGAIN.

Maybe it's my destiny to play for the Dallas Cowboys, or something.
