li dir="ltr"br p dir="ltr"Google Now - Google Now is what happens when you let Google’s algorithmic genius have free rein over your life. It’s a little scary what Now ends up being able to do, but if you can set aside your privacy concerns, it’s one of the coolest free apps in existence. Now will tell you how long it’s going to take you to get to work based on real-time traffic data, let you know when your package has shipped without even telling it you ordered anything, and even pull up your boarding pass when you get to the airport automatically. It feels so wrong, and yet so right. a class="link" rel="nofollow" target="blank" href="" class="zdcse-buybtn" target="blank"Free on iTunesapbr libr li dir="ltr"br p dir="ltr"Feedly - When Google Reader was shut down, everyone was scrambling for a replacement, and luckily we didn’t have to scramble for very long.
