Galaxy Nexus Watering Hole

Grandmadroid said:
Hello "kids".
You guys have always been so patient with me that it's easy to pop on every once and a while and ask an old-lady question. My Galaxy Nexus seems to be slowing down, and while I have enjoyed it so much, it IS time for an upgrade.
The big "tv sets" that everyone are beginning to carry around are too big for my hands. Been looking at all of the mini's coming out. I can let go of some of the bells and whistles this time around. (Although I still need it to be cool because my friends are convinced that I am a "techie", Haha).
Thank you in advanced for your input. Grandma loves ya!

That Droid Mini isn't looking too bad and the Moto X may look even better.

Feel free to PM me to get on my Friends list if you'd like. :)
I left mine at home cause I'm on vacation so no judging! :p
K'lin is on as well if you want to friend her. The dashboard is nice and I like the One!

Also, it's pricey, but I really like the Aria scale and how it seamlessly connects to your dashboard via wifi. :)
 
So fitbit is a pedometer? We can get these at work with a possibility of receiving up to $500/yr depending on amount of steps.
 
Google could be having one of their best weeks ever with the N7 becoming hard to find and sold out at different stores/online AND the same goes for Chromecast.
 
Don't you hate it when you leave work yesterday and everything us cool. Then you show up the next day and they put up a giant drilling rig in your way?
 
I don't understand this one at all. I live in central PA, order the N7 yesterday. It shipped from Delaware so I figure straight shot over to me, right? Boy was I way off! I just just checked and it went from Delaware to Memphis to Pittsburgh and now coming to me.

Middletown,DE to me...253miles, 4 hours.
Their way...1845miles, 14 hours(so far). Probably 20 hours or more by time it gets here? Not to mention fuel for plane and vehicle. Logistics seem way off for this one.

Learning about shipping hubs is fun. I think you're wrong though. UPS even routes their drivers to make as few left turns as possible. They may know something about efficiency.

No meaning to worry you, well not really, just enough... have you consulted a doc about it? If not: you should.

No. I've had restless leg syndrome for years. The arms just started about 3 or 4 years ago. I've looked it up. You could take pills. I'm not taking pills. I'll stick with push-ups and walking around a bit.

This is via FedEx.

Yeah Memphis is FedEx air hub. Everything goes through there on the east coast. Even though you and DE are close, there is no established route from there to your regional hub in Pittsburgh. So it goes via Memphis.

Yes, because they never copy each other. It's why UPS came up with tracking numbers and FedEx never followed suit.

These are companies that if you figured out a way for their fleet to save 1/10th of a mile per gallon you would get promoted and a six figure bonus.

FedEx doesn't have tracking? But a tracking number is how I know where it is and just used on their website.
