Niantic Project originally shared this post:
A chatlog today confirms the rumors heard yesterday. The anomaly on 03/16 has shifted locations, and will now be centered around the UT Tower on the UT Austin Campus. 

In addition, the anomaly now spans 2 hours, with measurements being taken at half hour intervals. For details see my breakdown, or read the leaked Niantic Chatlog at http://www.nianticproject.com/?id=sc412a

1st rule of being an #ingress agent...
Andy H originally shared this post to Ingress (Artwork):
Which of the two factions is the "bad one"? And which is the good one? Is advancement more valuable than freedom? Is resistance the right way to encounter the risk? My friend Tyler (respectively Jack) has to answer a similar question.

If only I had an  #ingressinvite I could find out ... ! ;)

But Tyler was anti technology and closer to truth's gritty underbelly.

"The Ryan budget is basically 'Back to the Future II' — a Biff Tannen-dominated dystopia of moral and economic decay whose only unifying ethos is thinking of — and violently protecting — oneself."

"Whether it’s 'Back to the Future II,' 'Robocop,' 'Total Recall,' or any of the dystopian sci-fi classics, private corporations run everything."

Why do we leave taking care of others to the government? It should be private. It takes away my opportunity to serve others. That isn't fair to all involved.

Chernobyl is the northern Portal in this Control Field over Ukraine. Earlier attempts to control the XM flow from that Portal went terribly wrong. #ingress

I realize that the NIA is behind a great deal of calamity in the world, but we can't blame EVERYTHING on XM research, especially not mere atomic fission. Mere atomic fission is more than half a century old, after all. This is like saying Lee Harvey Oswald was a decoy shooting blanks while John F Kennedy was assassinated by someone using the new X-Ray Laser shells that...

...Oh, sorry, I'm not supposed to mention those yet.  Never mind. Forget I said anything.

Cold weather will not slow the #enlightened in Paris.
Olivier Boissin originally shared this post:
Paris is currently overwhelmed by the snow with frozen cold temperatures, public transportations are heavily impacted (when not out of service), most of people do not even care to put their nose outside, but this will not prevent Paris Enlightened agents to spread out the good word, help the Shapers and lift humankind towards a better tomorrow !

Resistance is tough and their agents are very motivated, we still need #ingressinvites   to recruit agents so that we can reverse the balance and make Paris a better - and greener - place. #ingress   #ingressparis   (+Joe Philley +Anne Beuttenmüller +Brian Rose )

So how do you explain to TSA what these are in order to take them on the plane? #ingress

#enlightened agents in Bonn, Germany are being interviewed by German TV, when suddenly their Resonators start to blow up. The #resistance makes a statement to a national audience that it will not go down without a fight. #ingress

+Alex Hernandez Unfortunately I guess not. I looked around and found some stuff about turning on captions in i-devices settings, but nothing for Androids. This is strange as the YouTube mobile app even has a captions size setting in the options, so it must be possible somewhere. I tried enabling captions for all videos in my YouTube settings on the site itself, but this did not make it happen either. I even ran across an article that says devices must be made with caption decoding features, and not all include that feature...

Edit:

I made a post in the Android community and it appears that some videos do indeed have captions on mobile, but I don't know the difference yet. Here's one example: Listen up - Closed Captioning on YouTube Videos [CC] [HQ]
And here's the thread for anyone interested or wanting to provide some input: https://plus.google.com/u/0/117868540690646184685/posts/PX1uwLmNX87
