The one is sexy, no doubt about it. But it's only skin deep, for me at least. The GS4 way cooler and more fun to use lol. Plus with a case the outside doesn't matter at all. But I think the S4 looks much better than the S3 even though the differences are relatively minor.

Did you hear about the bootloader being hacked already? Guh that vanilla android so close I can taste it. I'm going to wait a couple of weeks before I buy one. I don't want an early batch phone. Maybe I feel that way because of how awful this one was/is lol.

Edit: plus I can pop an extended battery in it and have juice for days and my SD card :cool:

Only reason I would have an Xbox is for gears and halo. Could never live without my ps3. Just wish I didmy have to log in to the PS network to just watch Netflix. Gets annoying.
[HTC Rezound] ijustwantmydock:
Gears and Halo are tired franchises that just don't get me excited anymore. Honestly Microsoft doesn't have any really good franchises anymore. The only franchise that I wouldn't mind seeing another game in would be Amped, I know I'm probably alone on this one because Amped 3 wasn't well received but I enjoyed it. PlayStation doesn't have a lot of franchises that aren't getting old either but their console seems to be better in almost every way according to reports so far. Anyways PC master race.

I agree with this. I'm ready for the next new franchise. Bungee has some nice things in the works. They did a great job with halo so I'm excited.

Although the new Xbox looks like metro IRL. I'm excited for BF4 on it. Never really been a fan of the PS. Idk why. Not going to be a fanboy about it though. PS4 looks nice, it's going to be interesting when they come out.

gears and halo has about the best coop setup over many games. I hate it when like mw2 only coop is In special setup missions. that's why I love those two. my cousin and I plays then a lot. wish more games went back to story mission coop.

So I played with the DNA, the GS4 and the Note 2 today. The S4 had the nicest screen with the dna in second, but touchwiz is designed so poorly that I don't think I could live with it. Sense 4+ is pretty laggy so if I get the DNA Sense 5 is going on it right away.
[HTC Rezound] Obaterista93:
I will say, I got to play around with a GS4 yesterday and I feel like Samsung did a decent job at getting rid of a few system lags that bothered be, but small things like the pulldown are still laggy. The screen is nice, but I felt like the screen on the One was much better. I don't find the hardware upgrade in the GS4 to be worth it *for my uses*

I'm just going to root it and out CM on it anyway, and the upgraded processor won't run something as light as vanilla android with any noticeable difference to my GS3. I'd be paying for a nicer screen and slightly bigger battery basically. If I weren't a root user though, I find it to be a pretty nice upgrade.
[HTC Rezound] tehknics:
You are in luck, as the DNA will soon be S-Off (again)! I noticed the same lag with the Verizon stores's DNA, but it hasn't been an issue when I got my own. I've heard the demo mode causes fits... Can't confirm that that is the case tho.

The black one is ok, though.

---------- Post added at 10:54 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:53 PM ----------

Yeah I don't buy that

Elaboration:

Live CDs and most live USBs don't have persistent storage (although it is possible to make a live USB with persistent storage) since they use loopback devices, but that is irrelevant because all you need to do is:

1. Download script or have it already downloaded somewhere else

2. Run script

Dependencies for script:

x86 compatible CPU

Linux kernel

USB drivers

Some kind of interface for the user to run the script (GUI terminal or tty)

Also, Ubuntu live USB sticks use the same ISO file as live CDs.

Only the medium is different; once you've booted it, there's no difference.

(There are a few differences to account for different filesystems)

Edit again:

In case you were wondering why most live USBs don't have persisten storage:

Yes, the storage medium itself is read/write.

However, you may notice that Linux generally uses the ext4 filesystem (or ext2/3 for older ones), yet you can have a liveUSB on a FAT filesystem.

All the OS files are usually stored in one single file and mounted as a loopback device, which turns a single file into a virtual filesystem.

Any changes to that virtual filesystem are usually kept in RAM, and discarded when it is unmounted. (This is why it seems like you can write files on a live USB, but then they disappear the next time you boot).

There is a modification of the loopback device called casper-loopback that allows for persistent storage.
[HTC Rezound] ijustwantmydock:
The whole S-Off thing is all kinds of ****ed up now. At first you had to be rooted, now it says you can't but it doesn't say whether you should have a custom recovery or not. They say you can't use 64-bit Linux although you clearly could. Then lastly they completely dropped support for Windows which all happened within like a 5 month period and I didn't know what was going on.

I should probably reinstall windows soon because it's been about 8 months. Why does windows get sooooo slow? If game support was there I wouldn't even use it. And sadly most of the games I play are at least a few years old and will probably never get a Linux port, so I couldn't ever really completely migrate to Linux as long as I use my PC for gaming.

You guys know what I just realized? I cannot write about anything in school yet I can go on and on about OS' and other things easily.(Not quite as in depth as some of you guys though.) School sucks, I hate having to write perfect and hate the very notion of grades even though I got a 4.0 GPA last quarter. I guess I'm just a little weird.

Okay I think 3 paragraphs is good place to stop.
[HTC Rezound] wlmeng11:
They're probably making up random rubbish to "show off" how much smarter they are than their expected end users.

AKA attention wh- grabbing

Edit:

Also, if they released their source, then anyone could patch it to support any OS on any processor architecture with adb/fastboot support.

But no, they want you to go to their website and download their one and only binary.

It's quite sad that if ARM computers take off (they will probably gain at least some traction), Controlbear would be useless since it is compiled for x86 only, although it could easily be compiled for anything since it was probably written in C/C++.

Especially since adb and fastboot are available for ARM (I know that at least adb is open source), the only thing holding us back from using other CPU architectures is proprietary software, which is applicable to >90% of Windows software.

(If everyone used Linux and only open source software, then x86 would probably be dead by now.)

[HTC Rezound] ijustwantmydock:
When I say "older" I mean like 2006-2010 so I don't know how that would work with wine. Fallout 3 doesn't run that well natively on windows even though that game was released in 2007(?).
[HTC Rezound] wlmeng11:
Well the Windows API itself is pretty terrible and inconsistent, and the NT kernel sucks, so some programs actually run better in Wine than natively on Windows.

Alien Swarm (2010, Source Engine) works perfectly except for sound (probably fixable) in Wine.

Good framerate, too.

Yeah most likely gsm. Verizon really screwed the pooch on the gnex. After getting my nexus 7 my next phone will be a Google phone. But there is always a possibility they may get one. A very slim microscopic chance. I won't give up my unlimited data so guess I'm stuck with getting a gnex.

On a side note don't you hate it when you are at work and you look down at your arm to see it bleeding. Then you realize you haven't a clue as to how it happened. What happened at work last night to me. If it wasn't for finding the skin in the bottom of the plexiglass I would have never known. Lol.

"Linux is a Unix-like computer operating system..." -Wikipedia
[HTC Rezound] Dark Jedi:
Even I know linux isn't only a kernel. So on my laptop I am running a kernel? Lol
[HTC Rezound] wlmeng11:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linux_kernel

Linux family of Unix-like operating systems

Yes, there is the Linux Standards Base (LSB), which also includes other core OS components, including many GNU utilities, and the Linux Foundation.

But when you just say Linux, it means the kernel.

http://www.tech-no-media.com/2009/07/linux-is-not-operating-system.html

The package called "linux" for every nearly distro I've seen (Arch, Ubuntu, Debian) is the kernel (only Fedora has a package called "kernel").

If you want a name that includes distros such as Ubuntu, Fedora, Debian, etc. then say GNU/Linux, or Linux-based operating system.

If the Linux Foundation were to endorse a specific distribution as the official distribution, rather than just having the list of software that comprises the LSB, then we could call Linux and operating system.

I know that everyone refers to Linux as an operating system (I do too when speaking casually), but strictly speaking, Linux is specifically a kernel and nothing more.

http://www.gnu.org/gnu/linux-and-gnu.html

Oh yeah, Linus Torvald's Github page has a repository called linux, and it is the kernel.
