Will Molly come back?

Please say yes =D

[ROCKETBOOM]

Hey all, Molly is in the UK and we are waiting to be sure that our governments approve Molly's work visa before we are allowed to work together in the future. We are hoping this will happen this upcoming week in which case Molly will be hosting Rocketboom daily from then on out. Thanks for keeping a look out! - Andrew

I'd laugh so hard if someone is using this app and gets hit by a car.

@CuteShooter a lot of the people in the city don't live there. besides.. who want's to hear "fuck off" over and over??

[fusionrock666]

that is awesome!

[CuteShooter]

Why bother living in a city if there's no community and serendipity of just ASKING SOMEONE.

[mp2611]

wouldnt be useful for me or anyone else who lives no where near big cities etc

I hereby name thee: "Tasty".

That other guy you were talking to - not so much.

Umm, what were you guys talking about?

[cemmas]

I am surprised that no one didnt realize how much this program would reduce battery life,even now not so great,try to use it with the cam on,in an hour you have nothing left

actually this program seems not a great feature to be honest

They are in the business of making money, if people buy it then hey.

Hey i would imagain that you eat ready meals, i see them that as putting to much effort into a fairly trivial dilemma.

[camydoger]

Well I suppose when you look at it like that. It just seems to me like they've put too much effort into a fairly trivial dilemma.

[sleepymagpie]

It is at the end of the day, a tool. You don't see a use for it in your life, fine dont use it, personally, i am really excited by the possiblities of augmented reality, and this app, with a more user friendly interface, such as glasses, would be something i would make use of. Not because i can't ask, but because it would be useful.

Also, more often than not, most people won't know with any certainty which stop is closest, they'll just point you at the one they know best.
