Windows 8 release to the masses is Friday. I am writing this on an eight year old laptop that I dual boot with linux and has been on life support since last fall. Waiting to see the real world reviews on the new touchy-feely laptops that are coming out.

I had tried out the Asus Transformer Prime last year which was my first exposure to Android. Really liked android but the prime had too many problems at the time.

I have to think that the mud and water is a bit hard on the equipment. Looks like a lot of fun!!
[Motorola Droid X2] litetaker:
Touchy feely! Hahaha! I have a TFP and it is very good now, in fact with the type of apps now available had I purchased a keyboard, it can easily substitute a tiny PC like a Macbook air or a netbook for both ordinary stuff like web browsing and interestingly for me as a real computer to do heavy programming editing... using a VIM app with syntax highlighting and all!! I'm constantly impressed by what I can do with it, and it is more and more like a full blown PC. I need to use MATLAB often so if it has a MATLAB clone, I can be blown away but I doubt that as MATLAB needs the brawn of a PC... Yeah! I recently ran a computation on MATLAB that legitimately needed a minimum of 3 GB of RAM... Anyway, clearly the TFP is awesome and I am really enticed by future PCs that double as tablets!!! That was my dream from day 1! A Win8 machine that can be a proper tablet like an Android AND then become a full blown PC that can run MATLAB and do programming!!!! I am super interested. But alas I already have too many devices! I'll buy it next year for sure, when Win8 settles down and I can hand down my TFP to someone in my Family... :)

Good day for me today despite lots of things going wrong at work. This past week has been extremely scary for me....probably the worst week of my life. About 2 weeks ago I started having some really strange hearing problems. It's hard to explain but everything sounds kind of static like and the sound of a faucet being on hurts my ear. Went the regular doctor who saw nothing wrong. 2 days later I went to a ears, nose and throat doctor who did a ton of tests and found nothing wrong except my reflex in the ear that was not bothering me did not work. Reflexes not working is not a good sign so he had me get an MRI (fun times) on Saturday to see if anything like a tumor was affecting the nerve. Today I got the results and I was told there's nothing concerning but are some notes of interest... I don't know what that means but she said it was nothing concerning at all. I AM EXTREMELY THANKFUL AND RELIEVED! Now I just have a blown speaker ear... I can deal with that.
[Motorola Droid X2] motcher41:
Sounds like Tinnitus
[Motorola Droid X2] motcher41:
Was on it last night ;)
[Motorola Droid X2] Ryno77:
Yeah, I'm not really concerned about the weird ear... The no reflex thing in the opposite ear had me worried. I have another appointment later this week. Getting rid of the weirdness would be nice but I can definitely deal with it. Happy :):):):):):):):):):)

IIn the settings, you can hide the labels. But in the folder, hold down on the icon and hit edit. Then just erase the name. That's how I do it.

Is Chrome as horrible for anyone else as it is me?
[Motorola Droid X2] antp121:
On the computer or phone? On my phone I use Firefox. Pretty nice actually.
[Motorola Droid X2] thelowend:
Chrome is a godsend. I love it. Rest of my family hates it though. They're all on Firefox.
[Motorola Droid X2] tallyforeman:
I'm referring to my phone. If you swipe left or right without doing it very slowly or gently, it will change tabs on you in a heartbeat. Very annoying. Also, this may just be a setting I don't have checked, but if you scroll too fast...you have to wait for the page to load. All I get is a black screen. That's even after the inital load of the page. It's like it has to think about what its doing. Also, when you change between tabs, the page doesn't refresh automatically. Again, could be user error or some setting I don't have marked.

Just the regular browser on the otherhand, works really good. It just doesn't have the flash support that Chrome does. Merrrrhhhh.........

[Motorola Droid X2] ashclepdia:
hmmm

Chrome on the phone has ZERO flash support lol

It uses html5

Just download a flash apk and install it and you will have flash on your aosp browser.

I like chrome, but damn does it drive me insane for all the reasons you mentioned.

Especially that swipe between tabs. We should be able to turn that crap off. It's so annoying. Especially since when you swipe to a different tab by accident, and then try real quick to swipe back to the other, it basically refuses to switch tabs for ya again. Making you swipe like crazy to go back, or just press the square button on top. It drives me freaking insane. NEVER switches tabs when i WANT it to. Only on accident lol.

But like i said, just search "flash apk android" and download and install it and you will be able to use flash on aosp browser.

Thanks y'all!!

My bad. I have my terminologies all scrambled. I guess what I was trying to say is that where the Browser shows the box with the question mark, Chrome actually shows what's there. And also thanks for the flash!! I looked but had some trouble finding that worked with 4.1 or better... kinda weird.

As for me, I'm out for the weekend. Heading to the mud tomorrow. Gonna try to check in from time to time. There's a rather large amount of apple pie and Captain waiting for me. All I need is a big @$$ Droid to stick on the side of my truck!! I'll try and post up some pics.

Saved a Galaxy Nexus from being returned as a insurance claim today. Friend of mine dropped it in the bathtub after his kid slipped and went under. Phone was under water for 10-15 seconds and was still on. He immediately hit power and that was it...phone slept in a bed of rice last night. Today it would only bootloop so I factory reset then the touch screen wouldn't work. Ended up using my fingernail to take it apart (I'm really paying for that now) and put a fan on it for 4 hours. Put it back together and it works like new..for now anyway. In other totally crappy news I found out I have a "spot" on my brain and need to see a neurologist.

Sup guys. Just stopping in to say hi while I wait for my bacon to be ready to get flipped. I will post pictures as soon as it's done.

Motcher, if you're still doing that contest you should include bacon in the title. Will post pics in like half hour, hour tops... bacon porn incoming. Prepare yourselves
[Motorola Droid X2] Citizen_Snips:
The bacon came out perfect. Late evening bacon egg & cheeses = success.

Pics to follow, but a few things first. I will now tell you how to cook bacon in order to please even the pickiest bacon eaters.

Pro Tips

1. Your bacon should not break into pieces when you push down on it.

2. Your bacon should also be firm enough not to peel off the pan. Think of a raw fillet of fish. Ew, not good.

3. It should not feel like you're chewing gum when eating your bacon.

4. Your bacon should not crumble when eating it.

5. Bacon is way to easy to burn. Never walk away from it. Stay posted up close to your bacon when it is cooking.

6. If you don't flip your bacon at the precise time, you're going to ruin it.

7. Your bacon shouldn't break or flop all the way down. A little floppiness is okay, however. See last picture.

8. Always use the oven. I'm sorry but pan bacon never comes out right.

9. Always wait until the oven is preheated before putting the bacon in. Always.

Instructions

1. Grab a cookie/baking sheet pan.

2. Line it with aluminum foil. No need to grease it. The bacon does that naturally.

3. Preheat your oven to 350° Fahrenheit

4. Place your desired amount of bacon on the pan and put it into the preheated oven.

5. Let the bacon cook for about 10 minutes. Give or take. The bacon should just start to get to the point when it looks all bubbly on the ends and the entire outside edges of the bacon should have a slight dark color.

6. Once you see the edges of the bacon starting to brown, flip the bacon and put it back in the oven.

7. Let the bacon cook for another 10 or so minutes depending on personal preference. Be careful not to let the bacon burn.

8. Pull the bacon out of the oven and place it on a plate with some paper towels on it.

9. Profit.

And that's it! You're done! Enjoy your perfectly cooked bacon. :)

Ok, I have slowly been watching that video I posted (because I'm at work and I have to keep pausing it, lol) and now I HAVE to get that phone. It has a wireless charging dock just like webOS had. I miss that thing so much. Its set in stone now. Come April, I'm getting it.
[Motorola Droid X2] antp121:
Its not for cdma. Thank god they didn't. The VZW Gnex shouldn't even count as a nexus, getting the latest updates months late.
[Motorola Droid X2] csking33:
It does look like an incredible phone.. but this is not at all confirmed to come to Verizon. Unless I missed something??

Also, I just bought a refurbed G'nex. 32GB, $190. Not bad. I'm sick of the x2.
[Motorola Droid X2] thelowend:
I have doubts about it coming to Verizon. I can only support that with a bad feeling - like people don't exactly want to say it but they don't like Verizon and turning devices away from them is how they're saying it.

Plus Verizon might like 4G too much to take a non 4G phone for some crazy reason.
[Motorola Droid X2] csking33:
Yeah it's really looking like it's not going to. Which is why I jumped on the gnex bandwagon for now. Hopefully save my upgrade for next years nexus.. If one comes to Verizon again.
[Motorola Droid X2] Citizen_Snips:
I read a while back that Verizon will no longer offer any new phones that aren't 4G compatible. Not sure if that's 100% and I don't have a source on it either... Pretty sure a rep told me on the phone some months ago. The new nexus isn't 4G so if that's true then Verizon won't get it at all. From what I've heard they are only doing GSM not CDMA so it won't be for Verizon or Sprint. At least right now. We'll see what happens I suppose...
[Motorola Droid X2] jsgraphicart:
Oh yeah. I remember now the whole no CDMA equals no verizon thing. Ugh, my high hopes just got shot down. Hopefully, somehow, it does actually come to Verizon.
[Motorola Droid X2] Ryno77:
After having 4G there's no way I'd give that up. I have a hard time believing Verizon won't have a non nexus version of this phone.... Google is chucking lots of sales out the Window. I want the nexus 10 :)

Samsung has got to do something about that body. It reminds me of the Galaxy tab (might be thinking of the wrong device). Why did they go with Samsung over Asus? Did I miss something?
[Motorola Droid X2] jsgraphicart:
Isnt that how Google rolls? They always have a different manufacturer for each device they put out.
[Motorola Droid X2] Ryno77:
Numerous people *****ed about Asus making the nexus 7 saying the build quality was crap. My wife has a nexus 7 and I see absolutely nothing wrong with it. Maybe all the people *****ing about Asus caused the switch to Samsung? People need to stop analyzing things with a magnifying glass. There's nothing wrong with the nexus 7 and I'm sure Asus would have done fine making the nexus 10.

Here is Maryland its starting to get really intense too. I live in the middle of nowhere and can already see trees in the distance down... only a matter of time for the power and once its out its out for a looooong time.
