Galaxy Nexus Watering Hole

ESPECIALLY if you are still grandfathered into unlimited data. You HAVE to have a device attached to that line or it will lapse and you will never get unlimited back. Swappa is a great place for an Android spare for just such occasions :)
 
So it is true. I just checked History dot com for their tv schedule today. Pawn Stars marathon. Today is Presidents Day. They are the History Channel.

So glad I don't have tv anymore.

I like your post, dislike the news. That's ridiculous.
 
Tbh history have never showed much history over here anyway. Other channels show more historic programming. History over here show programs such pawn stars ice road trucker american restoration and programmes of the sort, never really any history related show. They don't really live up to there name.
 
History Channel used to be pretty good with REAL LIVE HISTORY stuff. Now it's junk. My theory? The average viewer out there isn't interested in real live history stuff: they want junk. Ergo, Honey Boo Boo and the myriad other crap on TV. History Channel has to pay the bills, so junk it is.

Sad commentary on our society, if you ask me...

Oh, you didn't ask me :p
 
Ye i agree. Plus I think all those shows are fake. Storage wars for example. Personally I would much rather watch a documentary on WW2 or something than any of those shows.

Have you ever listened to this podcast called Stuff You Missed in History Class?

You can search for it in an app called Beyond Podcast. Pretty cool snippets.

Seems like everything on TV is fluff nowadays.

Love that one. Stuff you should know as well :p
 
Okay folks, I need you to help me out of a technological quandary here...

The Darling Bride has approved an expenditure. ONE. Of two choices:

I can buy a 256GB SSD for my 4 y/o, 15.6" Vista G-speed laptop for $180, making it incredibly faster and more productive than it is now. OR I can buy a new $1100 17.3" Win7 N-speed laptop with Blu-Ray player, 750GB hard drive and basically changing my life for the better... but at 9 times the cost. I certainly don't NEED 750GB of space, and I don't WANT another hard drive. It would be a long time before I could afford a 750GB SSD to replace it. BUT: For $130, I could buy a 750GB Hybrid Drive with all the speed and none of the cost. PLUS of course the SquareTrade Warranty on both.

Samsung 840 Series SSD for the POS?
Or the HP dv6-7014nr with a hybrid drive at 11 times the cost?

:confused:

You would think this to be a no-brainer, but it's not for me... besides, my mind is fried tonight. Can you just give me some advice here? THANKS GUYS :)
 
Normal life expectancy for a laptop is 18 - 24 months I believe. So you're already on borrowed time perhaps. What components might fail relatively soon? I'd go for the new system.
 
I'm the wrong person to ask. If you give me more than one choice I go for the latest and greatest, most expensive and top of the line. But since you asked...I'd get the laptop in a heartbeat :D

I dislike choices.

It has already failed once. SquareTrade to the rescue! So yeah, it's on borrowed time. I may have to splurge for once in my life... but there's a lot of other stuff in real life here that ought to take higher precedence. I'd lose sleep spending more on a computer than I have ever spent.

But I'd have a heckuva laptop to surf on while suffering from insomnia :D
 
Was watching a hockey game at the sports bar not too long ago and it was a Canadian channel. I saw a cell phone provider commercial...1GB for $60/month.

And if I remember correctly, Canadian carriers trap their customers for 3 years, and we thought 2 years was bad.
 
The entire cell phone service is completely absurd. It needs a huge overhaul. I wish Google would do a national cell service that would turn the system on its head.
 
So I've decided to part ways with Nexy. Sniff sniff....

I have gotten too used to my apple devices that I've decided to make my transformation complete. I have an iPad and a Mac. It's now time to go over to the dark side completely and let the sweet mindless evil consume me.....

But hey, I don't think Chief will bar me from hanging out here from time to time, right?

:o

You're welcome anytime Han. Sorry that Android didn't do it for you but it's not a universal OS. There's enough room on this planet for both Android and iOS :)
