Galaxy Nexus Watering Hole

The battery can't be changed so this becomes a regular ring after 3 years once the battery dies and at $250 I think I will pass even though it is really cool idea for a small gadget.
 
Elop was a Microsoft quisling. He came to gut the company and make the Microsoft takeover possible. Been waiting for this to happen since his first day - it was never not going to happen.

While the press cries OMG! PWNIES!! there's only one word to remember to remove all mystery about what happens next - Ballmer.
 
Well, looks like Motorola has the kinks worked out in manufacturing. Ordered my wife's Moto X on Tuesday night last week. Was on my front doorstep when I got home from work Friday.

Cheif, the buttons don't look gold, they're definitely yellow. Not sure what the other guy was thinking when he posted they looked gold.
 
Hey everyone, hope you had a good Labor Day weekend. We were in Orlando, took the kids to sea world. We had a pretty good time, the kids were good, although it was hot and humid.

Looking forward to next month, we are taking my two oldest to discovery Cove to swim with a dolphin.
 
Wow. I was listening to music on BT and it just stopped. Pulled Ginny out of the holster and she was rebooting... and rebooting... and rebooting...

What a random bootloop! I pulled the battery, put it back in and she powered right up. Running Android 4.3 on Paranoid Android 3.99. That was weird.


EDIT: Thanks Geek. I'll stick with "Metallic Silver" then. At least THAT'S on the menu...
 
Good morning everyone - happy back to work. Been a while since I've been in the office, so much to catch up on.

Hope all is well!
 
This is going to be an awesome week hopefully :) Short work week already, plus taking at least half a day off on Friday to go with the wife to see the 3D ultrasound. I'm starting to get uber excited about all this :)
 
6 more days and he is mine :)

So coming up will be the Nexus 4.5 with android 4.4 and then incremental updates until late next year with the Nexus 5 and 5.0?

Or maybe putting all Google apps in the play store? The best thing ever would be the OS in the play store!
 
How much reading between the lines does this deserve? How much do we read into the fact that it is a copyrighted term used for the first time? The Kit Kat copyright is owned by Nestle and is under exclusive license in the US by Hershey's. How has this been taken care of? So what does this mean for globalization? Mass produced candy ---> OS for the masses???? Should we read into the layered wafers and try to extrapolate that into some other meaning?:dontknow:

It probably just Google having fun.;):p

Larry Page promised when he took over that Android would be about Google's goals now.

The operating system name now features product placement and cross-promotion.
Look at every change we've seen since Larry took over - forget the Android founder, leader and chief acolyte in senior management in the Android chain because they're all gone, forget ad blockers, forget Gtalk because you can get locked in to the catastrophic Hangouts now, forget basic search because you get Google Now (only if you give Google access to your location, because that's a feature, which if you argue with your settings sort of goes back to basic search) and forget operating system versions having no meaning other than a tasty mnemonic because there's promotion opportunities there.

No money changed hands on the new name.

So they tell us.

This time.

Fun hardly begins to describe what Larry is having these days.

And he's doing it in plain sight.
