    Gee Willickers! A Forum for my phone!

    I ordered this phone last fall from Straight Talk, just because it looked good on paper. I still use it because it works great in real life. I installed Apex Launcher and about two hundred apps, switched to ART runtime, which ate a chunk of drive space, and have not had to move any apps to SD. I...

    Climate change ?

    Weather Channel Co-Founder: 'Hello Everybody! There Is No Global Warming' "There is no consensus in science," said Coleman. "Science isn’t a vote. Science is about facts. If you get down to the hard cold facts, climate change is not happening. There is no significant man-made global...

    Republicans Could Win Up to 10 Senate Seats

    Dems face culture shock if Senate flips Democrats would be demoted to the ranking members of committees and forced to downsize by letting go of staffers who aren’t wanted on the new majority’s payroll. Perhaps worst of all, some Democrats would have to pack up their things as...

    Camera icon missin on smartphone a 4.2

    Oh well, all my records disappeared when CDs took over, sold my ~200 CDs in a big lot when USBs took over and my SDs just have stuff that I used to have on CDs. Either music died or I stoppped listening...

    Camera icon missin on smartphone a 4.2

    I wonder how much that Liverpoolers album is worth now... probably still $1.67.

    Camera icon missin on smartphone a 4.2

    For some reason, this reminds me of the first album I ever bought. It was 1963, I was eight, the Beatles were all the rage, but their records were too pricey. So I found one for half as much! The only hitch was the band name was The Liverpoolers... has to be the same thing, right? It was also...

    Camera icon missin on smartphone a 4.2

    Try long-pressing an empty space on your desktop, then tap shortcuts, then tap Applications, then tap Camera. Assuming there is such an app, that will put an icon there. If it doesn't show up in the list. you might be shmarooled.

    Whats the Best Antivirus for Android Mobile?

    Get your apps from Google Play and fuggetaboutit. I've been droiding over three years, have tried thousands of apps, nothing resembling even malware, let alone a virus.

    Good riddance to Windows 8

    Windows 10 will come with a command line package manager, much to the lament of Linux users Sorry, penguin lovers — if you thought that 2015, in the heinous wake of Windows 8, would finally be the year of desktop Linux, you were sadly mistaken. Microsoft is trying its best to make Windows...

    What's on your bucket list?

    I always wanted to (a) go 120mph and (b) not get caught. So I traded up to a Juke turbo six-speed just for those two bucket items. Although it was quite an adrenalin-pumping experience, I do not plan to ever do it again. But since I have this quicker-than-snot machine, I may drive the thing all...

    Good riddance to Windows 8

    Windows 10 Will Be Free for Personal Users It looks like Microsoft will take a note from Apple’s book and make Windows 10 (also Windows 9) free for all consumers. Notice the last bit? Yep, Microsoft will still offer paid features and upgrades for enterprise, the one market they can count on.

    Good riddance to Windows 8

    Hmm... have you tried that with Win10?

    Good riddance to Windows 8

    No, idiot. A drive is a drive, and once you install Win10 it assumes control of boot load and MBRs of all drives.

    Good riddance to Windows 8

    Windows 10 Tech Preview gets its first big update: One-click upgrade is awesome Overall, Windows 10 Technical Preview build 9860 is rather impressive. It’s obviously still very much a work in progress, but I’m excited by Microsoft’s accelerated release cadence. If Microsoft...

    Good riddance to Windows 8

    I wonder if, by installing W10 on a USB flash, it will install itself separately from all the gremlins on my hard drive, and I'd have to access BIOS' boot options to even launch it?

    Good riddance to Windows 8

    Oh well, Windows 10 looks hopeful but I couldn't accept abandoning those two items in favor of it. It didn't seem to have a cut-and-dried way of uninstalling itself and this didn't work either, so I Paragonned back to a previous incarnation of W7 only... will no doubt try the next build.

    Good riddance to Windows 8

    Miracle update... the new Windows 10 actually works on my ten year-old PC! I installed it from an ISO and put it on its own partition. I haven't poked into it yet, just enough to discover that (a) Grub no longer appears so I can't boot to my Linux Mint, and (b) reinstalling my beloved Rollback...

    Help Suddenly, Dust

    All of a sudden, dust crept in under the lens of my Ascend 2. It's ignorable until I'm outside or someplace bright. Can it be blown out, and if not, how the heck do I get in there? I see three little screws out back, but I doubt that it's that easy.
