For January 2018 I expect all of the IPS staff to form an air-rock band and perform Rush's "Natural Science."  That or "Freewill," whichever.
Oh, wait....software?

Don't worry, I'm not the only one working here  4.3 news will be coming along just as soon as we're ready to reveal it.

I'm also hoping to hear some news on this front, as it was previously mentioned as being targeted for 4.3. 

Fix search? You guys have been promising us forever. Please, anything! 

I am disappointed that such articles are posted instead of the new features in 4.3. I guess I am not the only one

Spot on, Rikki. I'm working on an educational project at the minute and the team has an idea that "we can create a Facebook group!" as a way of setting up a support community. Little do they know what I have in store ...

It wasn't our decision either - you should check out any modern smartphone or social media site  
For what it does matter though, I think the addition of different skin tones and genders to many emojis is great... all the emojis representing professions being white and male was a bit ridiculous. 

The skin tone dropdown is just part of standard emoji support. No, we haven't removed the ability to add your own - we love  too much 

The only thing that's voice activated in my house is me because let me tell ya, when my wife says............ Oh oh..... Gotta go.

Hans Zimmer is awesome. 

Interestingly, I had a difficult time answering this one (which is why I didn’t actually answer), but as a musician I’m kind of ashamed I didn’t think of this lol
But yes, definitely music is a very important aspect of my life, and I can’t imagine day to day without it. It’s such an important aspect of my day to day, and something that just comes naturally, I often forget it’s there!  

Music - same for me, I can't live without music.

Yes, music is a great answer. You always think of better replies after it has been published!
I'm rarely in the quiet, I typically always have music playing whether it's Classical, Rock or Metal.

Music.
As much as I value the few people in my life who mean a lot to me, in the end I believe one must acknowledge that your life is for you and you alone.  You are ultimately "responsible" for your life and no one else (even for what's out of your control and for those things of which you are not conscious - hence my scarequotes around "responsible" - don't get me started ).  Music is absolutely crucial to articulating both one's life and one's relationship to one's own experiences, and in ways that will never be explained by science and technology (neuroscience explains part of the how, not the why).
In an age where the more vulgar aspects of atheism seize on vulgarity and fundamentalism (and a highly flawed understanding of science, epistemology and ontology) to denigrate the idea of the religious (I'm neither atheist nor religious believer - don't get me started ), music is arguably the most important reminder that there are forces of affect and meaning that will always recede before attempts to contain it within rational discourse, even as they propel us forward to new possibilities of creative articulation and understanding.

Would it be gauche of me to remember out loud that I liked Blue Max even though I sucked at it, and that I played a lot more of Zaxxon on my Colecovision?
 

Ooh. Music. Fantastic answer. I couldn’t live without that too. I listen to music all day and have air pods for when out and about.

My first personal computing experiences (as opposed to coding) were playing the Zork text adventures on my brother's old Commodore 64 (one of the first thousand made apparently) and listening to Queen's Greatest Hits and Rush's 2112 over and over again.
My first coding experience was writing a multiple-choice quiz program in BASIC on my IBM PCjr.
Yes, you heard right - IBM PCjr.  Yes, I did buy one of those....

Wow, that brings back good memories.
Mine was a ZX81 (1K RAM) ... can you imagine that 1K, yet it worked fine, was a friends that he showed me when I visited him.
I was so impressed that I ordered a ZX Spectrum 48 (this was 48K memory) a few weeks later then had to purchase a cassette recorder to connect to it to load the games, I remember getting that on credit and was so pleased when I got it, eventually started to try and write my own games (in Basic as it was called then)
I used to play games on that but got fed up losing all my lives (usually 3 or 5) and having to start game again so started to learn to 'hack' into the game and changing the code to get endless lives.
Then progressed to Spectrum 128+ (128K ... ok you already guessed that I suppose) with disc drive and managed to convert all my games (which were on cassette tape) to the discs and carried playing games and still practise Basic code and then the Z80 code which was fairly simple at the time for me. Bought books and magazines to help me. I still have some of the old discs lying around (some still with the games on and some unused as well) but sadly no Spectrum
Had that one for years and still had it when got married and got the wife playing some games as well, some nights up until 4am (no idea where the time went as ... 'just one more game then go to bed' and before we knew it we found it was 4am)
Good times had with those, but ask me about the code of nowadays ... forget it .... wouldn't even know where to even start.
 

At the risk of dating myself...my childhood shows were the original Doctor Who and...Space 1999.

I loved that one when I was a kid.  

Game of Throne, Hannibal, Outlander, Timeless, 12 Monkeys, travelers. I guess I like time traveling and fantasy.
