I've been in Germany since March for a semester abroad. The first six weeks weren't bad, getting used to being in a country where I didn't speak the language perfectly and getting to know my way around town a bit. I was also in an intensive language course that took up about 6.5 hours of every day. There were also…

I was more implying CM10 or something. I don't expect a 4.1 update to my phone ever, at least not from Motorola. I'm supposed to be getting ICS sometime this quarter, though, so at least there's that?

That can be annoying, I agree. It's typically not very much of a problem for me personally, though, because I don't normally need to zoom in.

That sounds pretty awesome. Unfortunately I think it'll be a long time before I have Jelly Bean in my hands (Motorola Atrix 4G).

You are a saint.

I've been using that for a while now, and it seems to be working very well. Thanks so much for that tip! You've made my life a lot easier.

It looks like the Asus Transformer Pad Infinity TF700T deal is over (they're out of stock on Office Depot's website). Good thing I bought mine a few days ago!

I have to say that milk is one of my favorite beverages of all time. About two years ago, I dropped all carbonated drinks from my life, so now I drink either water or milk (whole milk if I can), occasionally juice or hot chocolate or something if I'm out somewhere. Also eggnog, but that's obviously only when it's…

I'd go with the Galaxy Nexus, given those two choices. The lack of expandable storage does make me sad, but I feel like it's not quite as necessary to have physical storage when you've got all kinds of cloud options (Dropbox, Box, Google Drive, Sky Drive, etc) available. A removable battery, on the other hand, isn't…

VOTE: Dolphin Browser HD

When it comes to electronics, I typically just carry my (Android) phone. If I expect to need it, I'll bring my computer and possibly my 500GB external HDD.

I've found mobile updates (I'm an Android user) to be very quick and easy. I tend to check the Play Store multiple times per day to see if I have any updates and am disappointed when I don't see any, which is probably kind of weird.

I typically say "soft drink," but when pressed to choose among soda, pop, or coke, I pick coke every time. Saying "soda" or "pop" just seem really quaint to me, though I couldn't really say why.

I use a combination of Facebook, Trillian (Google Talk, Skype, MSN Messenger), IRC channels, and email to communicate with basically everyone I ever need to talk to. Excluding text messages/phone calls and face-to-face communication, of course, though I do forward my Google Voice texts to Google Talk so that I can…

That makes sense, but at the same time, I feel like a lot of valuable insight will be lost in the comment backlogs because of this. It wasn't that I felt like I had to read all the comments (aside from some of my OCD tendencies which told me that it'd be a good idea if I did), but rather that I liked being able to…

I think that what I dislike about this new system is that I can't scroll through all the comments in one go as effectively. At least, I don't know of a way I can. Any help with that? Other than that, it seems like it could be pretty cool.

VOTE: Swype.

I had one at a restaurant once, and while it wasn't terrible, I definitely would try to avoid it again. I think it was mostly the texture that I disliked. Maybe it was just that one at that restaurant, though.

I've made black bean patties before (though they were a bit different than what you're describing), and they're absolutely delicious. They're also not really something I'd want as a burger-equivalent. I'll look into variations on my recipe, though, for something that might work better. Thanks!

I would, but I'm actually not that big of a fan of mushrooms. I don't mind them in small doses in, say, a sauce or something, but much more than that and I end up being a rather unhappy camper. Thanks for the idea, though!
