He sometimes has some good info, and has done some great things for the DX community, like pre-rooted updates.

But then tries to stir up things like it's a game. It is a game to him, doesn't he want 1mil twitter followers?

Just come out and say something, don't talk this crap in riddles and poems. If you can't say it, then don't. Same for BMX.

I don't use twitter much, but I did start following BMX, P3Droid & Tfleming223 for som juicy GNex info... Been a little disappointed with them. Thinking of dropping them. I get the info from here anyway.

The only other person I follow is Dana White. I got 2 tickets for UFC 104 from him for following him on twitter and going to meet him when he was in PHX.

Note to Steven - maybe a good idea to start putting thread links in when you update the OP. Could prove helpful.

Needz - not self promoting, but things broke open quickly after my good morning post, here. Barring better links, please check for news shortly after this -

Sorry it's not direct, but it was the fastest I could think to link.

Good idea! Will do. (even though I don't have any trouble finding the OP) ;)

In response to this and the many others that are trying to decide which device is right for them...
As you evaluate the slightly different features and design of the newest 3 Android devices, one feature may be more important to you than others and help make the decision easy. If you still find yourself on the fence, please think about the company's attitude toward you the customer. The Android community asked for an open device. Gnex is giving us (mostly) what we asked for. It's not perfect, but my money will go to support the company that is trying to give me what I want rather than to one that wants to lock me out of my own device.

Make your choice and be happy, but if you want to really support the open nature that Android was supposed to be, you'll put a few extra points in the GNex column.

I agree with you in principal, but the fact is, most don't care about a locked bootloader or root. And they don't want to know. They just want something out of the box, plug it in and work.

We are a very, very small (albeit vocal) community.

I've not seen that work with our forum software - then again, you learn something new every day! ;)

I would caution against any links with "embedded player" stuff in them. They will work, but they will screw up page formatting until a mod jumps in.

I would love to see how to do this, though! :)

When embedding a video from youtube, does anyone know of a way to specify a time index to start the video from? I thought I saw that trick somewhere, but don't remember it.

Found this, let's test it at 49 seconds in -

Edit - nope. Forum software seems to override it. :(
 
Steven, someone mentioned you posted a review of ICS/SGN recently but I can't seem to find it. Been looking for ages. Could you please help a guy in a different timezone out? :)

I'm just being a big baby. I don't mind it, I just hate being called about 6 hours before they want me to come in after I've already worked 40 hours this week. :p

Sucks. Oh well, maybe it'll make the gnex purchase a little lighter on the pocket

Know the feeling. I just got home from work. And on that note, I really like Sam Adams Boston Lager. I use this time to get caught up.
 
Anyone going to get a screen protector?

Now, I usually don't like screen protectors, but my last phone got scratched (and I have no idea how), so I'll be putting one on the nexus.

Be sure to get the "crystal clear" protectors, as all the other ones take away from the screen quality. Ebay usually has the crystal clear ones for a few bucks. I'm actually surprised there aren't any on ebay yet (since the screen size/dimensions are already known).
