Many of those feelings might verge toward the negative. Yes, it’s wonderful to be flying away on a business trip again, but just look at the delays and cancellations. And just look at the reasons. No, it’s not just weather. Southwest, for example, recently warned customers its technology wasn’t all that. Then it canceled 2,000 flights. The return to the air is, then, likely to be a bumpy experience. This may be a reason for airlines to be tempered in the way they deal with customers....

There is a lack of decent Twitter clients on the Play Store. Falcon Pro was among the top clients available for Android devices, but ever since the app reached its limit of 100k Twitter token, its development has since then gone down hill. Tweedle is one of the relatively unknown Twitter clients available on the Play Store. While the app is not exactly feature rich, it has all the basic features that one can expect from a Twitter client that is available as a free download, there really is not much to complain about....

(A screenshot from a United ad.) The promise, so it goes, is that once you buy this thing you’ll feel so uncontrollably good all over. The problem for airlines, especially over the last couple of years, is that every promise they’ve made has been entirely unbelievable. Promises such as the expected arrival time of your flight.

At that time, Microsoft launched an app called “Get Windows 10” the app was shipped via Windows Update to all systems eligible for the upgrade. The app was meant to begin the upgrade process, but, it automatically downloaded the necessary files in the background and forced users to start the installation.
