The integration will give costumers a remote control of things like home security and lights from their vehicles, along with the ability to unlock car doors and turn on the ignition from their living rooms. Ford, has more than 15 million Sync-equipped vehicles on the road today, this will link its new Sync Connect technology with Amazon's cloud-based Alexa software, to let drivers use voice commands to manage functions such as checking fuel levels and finding vehicle locations. 

Blog-L&B

My favorite restaurant is L and B on 2725 86th street, Brooklyn New York.

It has variety of different Italian foods and seafood. One of my favorite types of dishes was vodka pasta with mushrooms and peas. The history of the restaurant is its a mom/pop and As he manufactured his Spumoni in his new factory, neighborhood people would come in to buy his products, stopping him from making the goods to sell from his horse and wagon. As business grew he decided it couldn't go on that way. So he told his daughter Anna to stay in the factory and serve the people while he made the Spumoni. Well, it caught on, so once again he asked his friends to build a shanty in front of the factory where he could put out some tables and chairs, and plant some trees. In the mid 1950s L&B Spumoni Gardens built the second of the now three buildings, which is now the Pizzeria, selling our famous thick Sicilian pies, as well as our regular round pies.

This is my favorite restaurant because it has really good Italian food and pizza and that the its so comfy in the restaurant. In the winter they have a dinning room and out in Brooklyn in the summer you eat outside. If the restaurant ever closed I would go to Carmines in New York City because I love the city and Italian food.

Roli’s new app uses 3D Touch to deliver squishy squelchy synths on your iPhone

Music company Roli is know for its range of soft, rubbery keyboards that let musicians bend and squish notes to change their sound. Getting this sort of control from a normal computer screen might seems impossible, but Apple's pressure sensitive 3D Touch feature has opened up new dimensions on the smartphone. To take advantage of this, Roli has released a new iOS app named Noise, which turns the iPhone 6S and 6S Plus into a responsive, miniature keyboard. However, it's the reproduction of the five "dimensions of touch" that you get on Roli's full-sized keyboards that's most impressive. These are strike (how hard you hit the key), pressure (how hard you press it), glide (moving side to side on the keyboard), slide (moving up and down on individual keys), and lift (how quickly you remove your finger from a key). Here

RSS Discussion Question

1. 1. Why did you select the sites you subscribed to?
2. 2. Was it easy to find feeds and to subscribe to them?
3. 3. Which sites were your favorites?
4. 4. What else can you use RSS feeds for?
5. 5. How likely are you to continue to use RSS feeds in the future?
6. 
   

1. I selected the sites that I am subscribed because I like all the things for my personal life. Also for government and news that it is was required.

2. No it wasn't easy because some of my personal things weren't on websites and not on RSS feed. The news one was easy because there is a lot of news websites and government.

3. The sites that were my favorite was TMZ. com, Boston.com, BOS homepage and contemporary dance.

4. I can use RSS feed for school like study guides and homework. Also you can use it for your news and personal life.

5. Maybe just a little to check news feed and what is going on in news and government.

Facebook Live

Today we’re beginning to test the ability for people to share live video on Facebook, starting with a small percentage of people in the US on iPhone's. To share live video, tap on Update Status and then select the Live Video icon. You can write a quick description and choose the audience that you want to share with before going live. During your broadcast, you’ll see the number of live viewers, the names of friends who are tuning in, and a real-time stream of comments. When you end your broadcast, it will be saved on your Timeline like any other video, which you can then delete or keep for your friends to watch later.
