Does anyone use Lookout? I decided to give it a shot for kicks. Not pysched to keep my GPS on all the time, but I suppose it's worth the battery use if I lose my phone.

Morning. Big thunderstorms here in central NJ. Love it.
We had some last night when I went to bed. Love em! My parents live in SW Indiana, they get tons of violent storms in the summertime.

I like a thunderstorm as much as the next person - especially now that we can sit in our pack porch and watch them - but the problem is that NC does not get a nice relaxing thunderstorm. 90% of the time, thunderstorms are categorized as "severe" which is frequent lightning, winds in excess of 60 MPH, and torrential rains. It's a little intimidating, to be honest. My poor dog is scared to death of thunderstorms, fireworks, etc. We bought her a Thundershirt and it seems to help. It's not a cure, but she isn't as neurotic during a storm when she has it on.
I use Lookout Premium and it's great stuff. No issues, all good stuff. I hope I never need to really locate my device, but it's good to test it every so often.
Same here, but I still enjoy them. Even with hail mixed in, I still like sitting on the porch and wacthing them.
I wondered if those Thundershirts worked or not. Interesting.
Still on B38. XD Any cool new features in 39 and 40?Has anyone upgraded to B40? Downloading it now. Looking forward to seeing any changes.
Wow! Awesome watch.Totally unexpected present this morning at work. Today is the 150th anniversary of our company (UBS) so the Chairman and Group CEO sent out free watches to all employees. It's nice to work for a big company sometimes.
Why's that sweet? :/Breaking news! Venus Williams out in first round of Wimbledon!! SWEET!

Yeah, I find that I ignore the possibilities of danger, and instead find myself in awe of nature and its power... My next house will have a porch specifically for watching storms... Both me and my wife love storms.

So, the wife and I did some discussing this weekend and came up with 2 key points that will inevitably lead us to switching to the family share plans with Verizon when they come out (this Thursday, right?).
1.) The only way to keep unlimited data would be to pay full price for phone upgrades from here on out. Since we get no credit on our bill from not being on subsidized phones, Verizon would be doubly profiting from us on each line (the plan prices that are configured to make up the subsidized phones, and the phone's retail pricing themselves). I just can't allow Verizon to make a killing off of me on both the plan and the phone while taking a hit to my wallet every two years by paying in upwards of $1,000 for two phones. I realize I might be able to recover $200-$400 of that by reselling, but that's no guarantee and that still puts us out $500-$600 at a minimum.
2.) Even if we keep the unlimited data, it's only on our phones. We don't use that much data on our phones and it's just impractical to try to run a whole house's internet off of a couple of smart phone's wifi hotspot. That would be the only way we would be able to really take advantage of the unlimited data.
So rather than wait till the next upgrade to be forced into switching, we will probably be switching plans and losing unlimited data unless someone here can come up with a feasible option that would allow us to really utilize that unlimited data.
Wait, why are you doing it now instead of waiting until an upgrade? It saves you money?
Ah, ok. Yeah, no go for me... Would cost us extra, due to the low 700 minute plan... We would probably have to go with the 4GB plan too, I use just over 2GB per month on average... My wife uses about 200 MB
Actually, you won't get a discount on the main line access fee unfortunately. Only the data bucket...
Hmm, seems interesting. Perhaps I'll look over the changelogs. Thanks.I'm on B39 with GPS & NFC Changes patched.
Haven't gone to B40 yet. B40 includes the GPS fix and NFC changes in it so I might just upgrade. NFC can be polled with screen off or screen on & locked - default is only screen on & unlocked.
Interesting. I feel the same way about Nadal. Ever since his infamous incident where he was gnawing on the trophy of whichever Major it was that he won all those years ago, I just find him exceedingly arrogant and disrespectful. Not to mention those ridiculous capris he wears, lol.Over the years, their (both Williams sisters) whining and generally...their overall personalities have rubbed me the wrong way. So I for epic failures by them every time.
