Whos next, Apple? Motorola? Acer? Who?

That 2 million you "Lost" was because people actually MADE a choice. Not because they where confused. Shesh. Cry babies.

How about this, I had to buy a 4g android device because there where no 4g iphones available.

I am so sick of this Apple vs the world crap...

Oops. I misspelt Iphone. Lawsuit in 3...2...

This.


Had to copy and paste it somewhere else. :)
 
Morning all! Got more painting done last night, almost ready for the before/after picture :D I realized that the color isn't too far off from Android green, although more so when it is wet ;)

Dread, that picture is awesome! curious as to how they got it, considering there is no obvious connection to the rover. Was it one of those ball cams that gets shot in the air?
 
Good morning everyone and happy Tuesday.

Regarding the Apple/Samsung case - the fact that its US phones only now is a huge plus to Samsung. The international versions of the phones in the case had the single physical button at the bottom of the phone a la iPhone, but the US variants have the 4 capacitive buttons on the bottom of the phone, which is definitely not iPhone so it may seem like a blow to Samsung, but it may help them in the end.

New Yellowcard album came out today and it's so good. Definitely one of my favorite bands ever. Random Instagram photo below for today.

No, Apple, here's why you LOST 2 million sales:

  • You file lawsuits instead of making innovative products.
  • Your iPhone screens are still pathetically small.
  • Your iPhones are still 3G when the whole tech world is on 4G.
  • Every time a new OS comes out, your customers need a whole new iPhone to run it.
No Apple... it's not Samsung's fault you lost - and continue to lose - money... it's YOURS.
 
Morning everyone! I can not believe how wonderful it felt to sleep in my own bed. Today is getting the rest of my stuff put away and going to my part time job later.
Anti - I can't wait to see the pics of this color now.
Razor - thanks for all the great RSRSS links. I don't comment on a lot of them but I do thoroughly enjoy them.
 
Speaking of comebacks:

I have no idea if anyone here even knows who Ultravox is. They were an obscure 80s alternative band with epic ballads and music with unbelievable depth. They had a rabid following (including ME) and they've just released their first album in 25 YEARS!

As an intro, may I respectfully submit:

Amazon.com: The Very Best Of: Ultravox: MP3 Downloads

And then you can look up their new album "Brilliant"... which it is :)
 
Hi all!! I have been having trouble sleeping lately - I have been working a ton more and it has been stressing me out so I've been trying to find ways to fall asleep. Other than that, this morning is going fairly well - I am still waiting on my Nexus 7 to pop in the mail from the Google IO contest. I have big plans for it :)

On a brighter note, I might be sent to Australia in the next few months here to go work with Telstra directly (I support Telstra and Sprint (both different companies) with their performance management). Better to go to Australia to see Telstra than Kansas for Sprint ;)

I'm not under any stress and fall asleep with no problem, but been waking up around 3-4 lately so I feel your pain.

Australia? Very cool. That's the one continent I haven't been to yet. That will be great that you'll actually get to spend some time there Marc.
 
Updated CNA last night from CNA 3.1 to 3.2. Had to do a full wipe after some troubles with only a cache wipe and dirty install. Running excellent so far today.
 
What are you others on CNA running kernel-wise? Didn't have great results with LeanKernel over the last several days.
 
I loaded Franco on Captains recommendation, also using his kernel flashing app from the market which seems cool even though its a little voodoo. Don't fully understand how it flashes kernel updates on the go.

Haven't used the app since updating to JB. I assume it will only flash compatible kernels? Maybe I'll try Franco's again.
