        Nearly every film he's made has been very good to excellent. I always expect a good film if he's involved. -- nm - Krusty Oct 15, 10:52
        
        it's silly to think he had nothing to do with it - Reagen Oct 15, 10:47 5

iPhone users. Is there any kind of advanced notification app? I miss my Blackberry's ability to vibrate when in the holster - oblique Oct 15, 10:27 15
- Not sure if the iPhone store has this app but there's an app for Android called "Tasker" that I believe would do what you're asking. -- nm - Krusty Oct 15, 11:03
- Settings -> notifications -> choose the app (mail) -> change new mail sound to none -- nm - volnelk Oct 15, 10:33 4

  - I want my phone to stop dinging for emails when it is in my holster - oblique Oct 15, 10:29 6
    - Can you use the "do not disturb" function in the notifications? - spamlet Oct 15, 10:34 4
      - Looks like that's hours only (though that might help). -- nm - spamlet Oct 15, 10:35 3
        
        except I only want my mail app to stop dinging, not make everything quiet -- nm - oblique Oct 15, 10:37 2
        
        Yeah, I think you're stuck. - spamlet Oct 15, 10:40 1
        
        I think your best option is to turn the notification sound for Mail to silent. -- nm - volnelk Oct 15, 10:43
