Your Phone Now Says 'Bless You' When You Sneeze — Nobody Warned You

dfinke shares an absurd moment: he sneezed the other day, and his phone said "bless you." He sat with that for a second — nobody told him it would do that; no note saying "hey, we taught your phone some manners." It just showed up one day, like weather. He jokes that he's been blessed by many people in his life — priests, bartenders, even a guy he hit with a golf ball — but never by a phone. That's a new one, and honestly, a milestone.
