Galaxy Nexus Watering Hole

I'm more interested in what you are eating?! :)


But yes, N7! I love mine!
 
I agree with the other and would go Nexus 7. 10' tablets can be kinda of bulky and uncomfortable to to hold for long periods of times. The transformers are nice because of the keyboard dock, but will stretch your budget a little too much. I have a nexus 7 and the infinity, and they really server two different purposes. I end up spending more time on the infinity because my GF is always using the nexus 7. :rolleyes:

Plus the Nexus 7 will seem very similar to your Gnex.
 
Razor, if you have a need for keyboard functions on a Tab, it really doesn't work well as a stand-alone. I tried to use my Xoom as a laptop replacement while I travel (TSA PITA, weight, charger, etc), but the Tab could not cut it because I am document-intensive. So if you need a lot of keyboard functions like page up/down, ALT-TAB-Shift etc, get a separate BT keyboard - or stick with the laptop ;-)
 
OK, this has political ramifications, but is just a tech question. If the greenies and reddies think it belongs in the political forum, by all means move it there.

Does the technology exist yet to put a chip in new guns, with a broadcast signal in designated zones (like schools, malls, theaters, courthouses) that disables the gun?

I realize that if this is possible technologically, there will still be a long debate over whether this abridges rights, and how and how long it would take to implement, and whether bad guys can skirt the controls. I'm not opining on any of that. Just want to know if tech has improved to this point yet. And wonder if this could ever be a compromise solution between the extremes.

Thanks for the input :) I don't really expect to use it as a laptop replacement per se, I probably won't use it for any sort of documents. It will be almost strictly entertainment, games, web surfing, some light Skype video chatting with people back home, etc. Unfortunately, I'm becoming more convinced that my laptop would be too heavy to comfortably lug around - plus, if it got stolen or damaged, I'd be devastated.

Personally, I don't think this gets into the politics of it at all. Another guide or mod may disagree.

Technologically I do think it is possible, but by the same token think it would be just like any other technological control method in that it can be overridden. At the same time you have to remember Law Enforcement would need separate ones that aren't affected by that control so they aren't inhibited when responding to a situation.

There's numerous obstacles we face in finding the right answer to violence in this country. I won't get into any of it though as it would get political in a hurry. I will say this, there's no clear answer and not one single law by itself will fix it.

EDIT: Please take some time at some point today and read this out of respect to the victims. We will hear so much about the shooter, but this may be all we ever hear about the victims: http://usnews.nbcnews.com/_news/201...n-loving-teacher-6-year-old-twin-brother?lite
 
Okey dokey.

Understanding the outpouring of grief.

Just do us and yourself a favor, if the politics and laws aspects must be discussed, please write it up in Politics and Current Affairs subforum here. Thanks!

Tech discussions on guns are ok in the Lounge, but lots here petitioned mods to keep it out of the thread. Just reminding. ;)
 
My new dentist is great! Best cleaning I have ever had. And they said for not having insurance for so long that I have kept very good care of my teeth. Aside from the two cavities I have, which I have always had bad luck with those.
 
Was just watching some of Entertainment Live and while it's generally a really hokey show, the host had so much trouble keeping composure. While I don't have children, I feel for all those out there who do.
I've learned to be "city hardened", ignore comments spewed at me on the street. One quite surprising the other day!
Be courteous and kind to strangers, thank your bus driver, open doors for folks. I still believe karma comes back around and if not, your daily act of kindness goes straight to the heart anyway. :)

Amazing how this varies regionally. In LA and NYC, walking on the street, you don't look at the people walking towards you or say anything. In Canada (at least my small town), you look at them and say hi, to complete strangers often, maybe even have a short conversation.

It's sad, I know.
I always like to greet folks with a cheerful face and a hello whenever possible.
I work in the business of customer service and providing a great experience is very important. Do I get frustrated? Absolutely! But every time I see a smile on a customers face, it brings me joy. :)
 
After almost a year of use of my extended battery for my Nexus, I noticed it seemed to not hold a charge as well as it used to. Decided to swap back to my stock battery. Battery life increased. :)

OMG, my daughter has spent $2,305 at ThinkGeek since 2009 (we just tallied it up on the website) :eek:.

Now granted, many of them were presents and/or purchases for others (so my daughter could get the reward points), but that's still a lot of nerd items :p :).

Good thing she gets paid for the occasional summer job while she's in college.
