iPhone users get some "No Contact" help with the new iOS7 update
Last night I update my iPhone with the new iOS7 that was just released. I came across the following web article about one of its new features, and thought I would share with my friends here at SR:
“Surely, there’s got to be a way to block phone numbers”, said every iPhone user ever.
Really, just type “How to b” into Google and let it autocomplete. First result? “How to block a number”. Second result? “How to block a number on iPhone”. Third result? “How to be happy”. This feature is in greater demand than happiness! Happiness!
With iOS 7, it’s finally a pretty straightforward process to block people from calling, messaging, or FaceTime-ing (FaceTiming? Facing? Agh.) you. You can find the block list at Settings > Phone > Blocked, Settings > Messages > Blocked, or Settings > Facetime > Blocked. Note, however, that the block list is universal — block them in the phone settings, and they’re blocked on FaceTime, too.

Google must be following my surfing habits. "how to be happy" came fourth, under "how to bake salmon" and "how to block a number".
Interestingly enough "how to be emotionally available" was first. Ouch!
P.S. My daughter asked Siri if she wanted to have our obnoxious dog, and the response was "I don't have many 'wants'!" Kudos for the programmers!

Samsung.
On it, some Bar Girl pops up and asks -- "Need a date, Joe?"

One thing and one day at a time.
