Galaxy S3 Watering Hole

Attempting some beer can chicken tonight. Never made it before (nor roasted a chicken for that matter). Doing it in the oven since we don't have a grill. Looking to pull it and toss with some rice. Wish me luck! :)

Beer can Chicken is good, i remember my old boss gave me a book about beer can cooking :D
 
Good luck! My brother somehow started a big grill fire once doing beer can chicken. I still don't know if there was beer involved BEFOREHAND though. :D
 
Evidently the "Google" edition HTC One and S4 will not be getting updates from Google after all.

Google experience devices indeed...

Who said that??

According to HTC, software updates are provided by Google - exact quote.

Pretty sure that's true of the SGS4 as well.

The phrase used for both Google Edition devices is Nexus Experience, supposedly because of both the plain Android and Google updates, yeah?

"In his review of the Google Play edition HTC One and Galaxy S4 for Anandtech, Brian Klug discovered that both devices are running kernels supplied by their respective OEMs, meaning that neither the HTC One, nor the Galaxy S4 Google Editions will see updates directly from Google."

Brian never said that - Phandroid did and it's speculation.

Brian's speculation was that updates might take a bit longer to reconcile the differences.

The manufacturer's are stating that Google will provide the updates.

I believe that over blogosphere speculation.

Thanks for pointing that out, I'll have a chat with Chris.

:banghead:

Sites are reporting the kernel is coming from manufacturers


That's how beats can be included

An IO attendee discussed with Chris in Discus comments that that was taken into account already.

For the record, I tried to tell Chris that including Beats required an HTC kernel the day the story hit in May.

Did he hear me? Not according to today's article. :rofl:

The blogosphere is making up news on a slow day.

Updates for the Nexus Experience phones will come from Google in a timely fashion.

This was all worked out by all parties many weeks ago.

Btw, when the blogosphere discovers this, they'll publish it as a clarification.

Many will thank them for being our watchdogs.

I won't be among them.
 
Yeah - my conversation with Chris is getting reflected by copy/paste into the Discus comments.

The blogosphere believes that because Google is not going to host full binary images, as they do for the updates - that therefore Google won't be updating the phones.

One problem - the Google source they're citing NEVER said that and the discussion was NOT about updates.
