Uber lanza su opción de viajes programados para sus usuarios en México

Posted on by

El servicio de movilidad Uber presentó este jueves la opción de realizar viajes programados para todos los usuarios en México.

Esta nueva función estará disponible en los modelos UberX de la firma, con la posibilidad de programar viajes desde 15 minutos hasta 30 días antes de requerir el servicio, informó la empresa en un comunicado de prensa.

Para realizar este proceso es necesario que el usuario ingrese a la aplicación, seleccione el servicio de UberX y dé clic en “Programar un viaje”.

Una vez ahí, podrá elegir la fecha, hora, punto de partida y destino al que quiere llegar. Uber enviará un recordatorio sobre esta programación 24 horas y 30 minutos antes del viaje, y el usuario podrá cancelar el servicio siempre y cuando el chofer no haya comenzado su recorrido a recogerlo.

Uber especifica que el chofer tendrá 15 minutos de gracia a partir de la hora que se señaló como programada.

La firma comenzó a dar este servicio en Estados Unidos en junio de 2016, y ahora estará disponible en todos los territorios en los que opera en México.

Apple And Its iPhone 7 To Take Fight To Samsung

Posted on by

If it wasn’t for an ill-timed battery issue on Samsung’s part, the smartphone world right now would be debating iPhone 7 vs Galaxy Note 7. Instead, that talk has been put on hold, at least until another month or so until Note 7s are back on the market. That talk will come, because the Samsung and Apple are the two biggest smartphone companies in the world, and their fans are legion (and quite frankly, sort of irrational).

Epson FastFoto FF-640: Scanning Photos at Warp Speed

Posted on by

Walk into our house and you will be visually inundated by family photos on the walls. But in an effort to preserve aesthetics, there are only so many pictures that we framed and hung. And like many people, apparently, we have thousands more images in boxes, albums and scrapbooks. I’ve really been wanting to digitize all of them. It’s just that the task of doing so seems so overwhelming, especially when considering how it has to be done. The time-consuming effort includes lining images up on the flatbed scanner of our printer, or using a smartphone app to snap pictures of the pictures and then clean it up, correct for color and transform those red eyes into real blues and browns — one by one.

Data Sophistication: Why It Matters & How To Achieve It

Posted on by

Everyone is talking about data. How to access it, wrangle it, learn from it. Entire businesses (including mine) are being built around data. However, many businesses are struggling to make sense of the data deluge. And while they flounder, others are forging ahead, using data-based decision making to capitalize on huge opportunities. In short, data is a big deal: top-performing companies are  three times more likely than their competitors to be “sophisticated data users.”
