And am I the only one who thinks the stupidest think PC companies ever did was integrate the computer and monitor in one stand alone unit. Come on can't people see that if their monitor happens to take a **** and quit working they have lost their PC to. I know you can buy another and most likely transfer your stuff in most cases but by integrating it if you lose one you lose the other. Where as now if my monitor goes out I can drag out the old crt monitor and use my PC until I can get another lcd....

Apple does not want you customizing their phones they want to shove iTunes down your throat and force you to pay for apps that are free on the android market. I'm not familiar with blackberry at all so I don't know how their app store works nor how customizable they are...

I have had iPhones as well. They work well, but they don't offer what an Android device does.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] mindmajick:
Just like the TV/DVD player combo.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] garydv2002:
The only combo I've agreed with and still own is the DVD/VCR. Yes I still own VHS tapes. But mostly use the VCR for our old home movie viewing... oh and btw I still own some 8 tracks even though I have nothing to play them on. And some record albums with nothing to play them on lol... records are big black cds for you youngsters out there and you can Google 8 track if your to young to know what they are lol...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] toyfj2k7:
Correct. The best thing that has ever happened to me was my brother in law giving me his nexus s. He could not handle it and went back to the iPhone. It opened my eyes. I will never go back.

Welcome to China. Lol
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] iandr0idos:
Lol, I use simplified Chinese, not traditional Chinese. :P

And great... I spend $25 to unlock my phone, and 50RMB for a prepaid SIM in China only for my phone to be unable to pick up any signal...

Maybe it's time to go back to gingerbread...

Damn it :( I didn't know what the difference is so I picked traditional on Google translate.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] iandr0idos:

China uses simplified.

Taiwan and Hong Kong use traditional.

I'm going to try AOKP...

God. Damn. It. The hard drive on my wife's one-year-old laptop is failing again, at a rapid pace. I just replaced it about 3 months ago. :mad:

She's the office manager at a metals recycling company and the office is really dusty, including rust dust and presumably metals which are getting into the hard drive and destroying them.

I need some advice from someone who knows about failed hard drives and also solid state drives. I'm thinking a ssd might keep this from happening in the future, but I'm basing that on my assumption that it's the magnets and moving parts in the hard drives that's causing them to fail.

Should I buy a ssd, or is this laptop just bound to keep having drives that fail?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] :
Ssd could help but I'm leaning toward metal shavings in the laptop shorting stuff out bro its a bad environment motherboard no like
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] iandr0idos:
Get her a dust-proof thinkpad.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] BaconStep:
Speaking of hard drives why are they still so damn expensive?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] IEatKittys!:
You could get her a toughbook.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] skrambled:
Yeah, trying not to get a new machine, not in the budget right now. Next one will definitely be a toughbook or something else made for tough environments.

Maybe lingering effects of the floods in Taiwan last year? http://www.theregister.co.uk/2011/11/28/hdd_flood_supply_squeeze/
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] skrambled:
It seems to be running good except for the hard drives. I've run all the diagnostics and the hdd is the only thing with errors. Think I'm gonna get the ssd.

But like I said, next time we will make sure to get one that has better dust protection
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] lyndone58:
I've had hard drive issues with a laptop before. HDDs dying in few months.

But I think its overheating that causing this. SSDs will probably help as they stay cool.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] skrambled:
The last time the drive failed I did quite a bit of research. Apparently it's supposed to be rare for a hdd to fail, but the number one reason is dust. Overheating makes sense too, but looking at how dusty her office is it definitely seems like the best explanation.

At any rate, aside from a new machine, it's looking like the ssd is the best answer...

When I'm lonely I go into a corner of my room and pretend I'm a wet carrot
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] plwalsh88:
Yea and dust leads to over heating. Just shot a can of compressed air into my laptop fan/vents. Got a mushroom cloud of dust come out. Turned it back on and instantly the idle temperature went from being at 65 deg C to 40 C. My CPU's max temp is 90 C and would hit that every time I video chatted. Now she rarely even reaches 65 C. Can't believe how much of a difference it made.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] garydv2002:
And you might wanna consider just buying a tough book by Panasonic. I was a service manager at a trucking company and I got those for the mechanics to use cause they were so damn rough on them. There was brake dust diesel fuel and grease got on the often. So much I cleaned them on regular basis. Hell they were even dropped several times and they never quit on us....

Uuggh I'm so tired of getting jacked around by ATT. Called them to warranty my daughters HTC and when we were done he said can I help you with anything else today before we hang up. I said yea you can tell me what date my skyrocket is getting the ics update. He said to my knowledge its not. I said your knowledge isn't much then or your just jacking me around one cause its on Samsungs list for the update. He said oh well I don't know. I said T-Mobile has already released it for their version of the s2 maybe I should swap to them. No please don't do that let me ask my supervisor and see if he knows. On hold 15 mins getting pissed and about to hang up when I hear sir OK I'm not supposed to tell you this but my supervisor said he was not loosing a customer over it so my supervisor said the official release date is not exact but it will be one day in the last week of June. I said this month? He said yes. We cannot give you the exact date but it will be the official android 4.04 ics release and we are releasing it one day in the last week of this month. He said sometime between the 25th and 30th of this month you will either receive a text saying the update is available. I said will it be a ota update or a kies update? He said now that I don't know but you will receive a text telling you what to do.

Now I don't know if there lying or not but that's what he said. But we all know ATT is good at jacking folks around.....

I got a question for those of you who work in the mobile tech field.

How do you feel about the transition to the app-centric environment from the browser/search based environment?

And two more fun questions for everyone else.

Do you think you will see a quantum desktop before you die?

Do you think that average people will be able to go to space at the same cost as a cruise?

Both of these are provided the world hasn't ended from human stupidity of course.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] JoeVoo:
Yes and yes

Space flights at the minute are 200k, it will be 50k in 5years :-)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] :
With the advent of html5 it seems our app centric world is starting to fade back a bit. But I prefer apps.

On quantum computing we are already seeing that on some scales using cells from certain animals we have made small sized dna based storage if you will I don't have a source anymore but certainly you can google so I belive we aren't far off from using the human mind to its fullest potential and creating full dna based computing machines.

Space flight yeah we are close to that as well lol

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] kr3w1337:
A quantum computer isn't the same as a neural computer. IBM recently finished a quantum processor with upto 60% bit integrity (minimum requirement for a computer). They said that they got the processor done using conventional silicon printing methods too, very exciting.

Also a quantum computer will be leaps and bounds ahead of the human brain, so neural computational research will be able obsolete at a desktop level. The primary reason for neural research right now is nano scale interaction of the human body with respect to embedded electronics, augmentation in other words.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] :
I have now been educated
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] kr3w1337:
Hey I forgot to mention one thing.

Don't you think that with the advent of HTML5, we have only accelerated the app centric future and further killed the information search model?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] :
I dunno

Is it me, or are people here starting to get very demanding lately. With all the requests and suggestions to devs on what they should or shouldn't include in their ROM. And just because it's some obscure thing that only one person needs, it just "really should be included". Whatever happened to just downloading the ROM, flashing it, see how you would like it to be different, and change it yourself?? Like all these circle battery requests and personal preferences. That's what UOT is for! Or search for another ROM that has what you want and apply it yourself! These devs do enough for us already than to have to take orders too. But okay sorry for the venting. I'm done now. Hope everyone's having a good weekend!
