Galaxy Nexus Watering Hole

Morning all! Just put my last project into the final approval process. Although the rumors are that I will be given something else to work on, it feels good to be done (for a little while anyways). Hopefully soon what I have been working on will go public and I can show you what I am working on. :)
 
Morning all! Hope everyone saw last night's link post :)

Short weeks always get me looking forward to the next weekend way too early. It's Wednesday already though :)

Is anyone aware of Facetime running on Windows? A guy at work asked me about it because his daughter wants to keep in touch with him using Facetime. He isn't a tech person. I told him I never heard of it happening but would look into it. I also told him to just use Skype. He agreed but his daughter is 8 and she is all about Facetime. I'm not finding anything yet that says it is possible. Skype will have to be the medium used but I just want to make sure.

Evening all! Just tried out Tango tonight. It's interesting as a video chat because you load the app, it automatically tells you which of your contacts have it and then you can call them phone to phone. It has a bunch of other features, but I have not had time to check it out.

Hmm, not looking to good, Halon. Skype is certainly one option as is G Chat, but she'll have to have, or use someone else's Google account.

This is a good question about the video chat...also something that I am looking into right now, since we are probably moving and since my kids are staying with their moms....

My original thought is to create a gmail account that I monitor...and give the login info to their moms...then allow them to log into Google Hangouts that way....
The rest of my family has been using Skype for years and just recently asked me to switch everyone over to GChat instead...and it worked flawlessly. In fact the biggest test for us was broadcasting the wedding ceremony over Google hangouts...and we had 8 people watch it live since they could not make it. It was also not device specific, we had several people watching from their iPads, one using an iphone 4s, one using an apple TV, and others on their PCs.

Morning everyone!!! TGIF!!
Today starts the "kids weekends" that will span every weekend until Christmas...except for 3. One of those weekends my other half and I get a romantic weekend getaway, one is thanksgiving, and the other we will be going to Austin to find a house....woo hoo. Busy!!!!
Hope everyone has a great Friday!!

Hey there ryan, i have heard good things about the Google Video chat, my friend uses it over Facebook video chat and such.

You might want to look into that for him as well.

also, "Romantic Getaway" sounds invigorating! The only thing i get to do these days with my significant other is drink her under the table ;)

i like google hangouts but alas, the rest of the family likes skype. I think in part, it is what you are use to. My niece has an iphone ( the only one in the family) so of course, she is all about Facetime...ugh!

Morning everyone!
Well, more and more reviews are coming in from folks on the Note 2 (in that forum and the thread I have). I'm SOOOOO on the fence about this one. Is my Nexus doing a great job? YES. Do I justifiably have the money for an off contract phone without selling my Gnex? HA, no. Do I really want the larger screen real estate and S Pen? Yep.
Argh! :banghead: ;)
 
Haha, I hear you Dread. Tis the worst season of the year for those of us with year old phones :p

So today is my little girl's 4th birthday. I can't believe its been that long since she was born! Time needs to freaking slow down!

I refuse :p

I just started using Nova Launcher with a different Cyanogen 10 Theme and its like my GNex is brand new :)

I do dislike spending full price for a phone off contract :S
 
Goooooooood morning everyone and happy Friday eve. Was at a tech conference in NYC yesterday and it was awesome. Free food & drinks and tons of people talking nerd stuff - couldn't have been happier.

AND it's almost Friday - this is exciting.
 
After work last night I decided to eat chocolate covered fruit :)
