Default Google Now automatically added the Pittsburgh Penguins to my sports score updates
I didn't think this was big enough news to go in the main forum, but did any other Android users who were receiving Flames scores on Google Now have Pittsburgh automatically added as a favourite team?

Creepy, but impressive.

Nooope here. But I did ask Google about the Pens. Still amazes me how well it offers information.

Google Now is amazing/scary.

They just added an "Activity Reporting" card. It you have location reporting and history turned on it will tell you how much you have walked/cycled in the month.
It shows I walked MUCH more in Feb. than in March so I'm not sure where it got that, but it will be interesting to follow.

Real Flames fans don't have phones that automatically assign other teams as their favourites.



(It's an algorithmic process that uses your past actions to provide current features. In other words, there was probably a lot of checking how Crosby or Malkin was doing, or watching Pens' highlights, etc etc. Something real Flames fans would never do.)

(Also, I'm just being facetious about the "real Flames fans" stuff.)
