You're an Android devotee for phones, and were hoping to get in on Apple Pay with your iPad? You realize that you've had access to similar services on your Android phone for years...

Isn't that synced across all devices in your Google account?

Going into Android settings -> apps -> Maps and hitting clear data should also fix this. This shouldn't really have much in the way of downsides, since things like your starred places are stored in your Google account, not locally in the app. This would delete any maps you have saved offline though. Obviously,…

Okay thanks, I figured I probably would. I'll probably flash it back to stock Kit Kat within the next few days so I can get the Lollipop update as soon as it's available.

Does anyone know, if I have the developer preview of L on my Nexus 7 from a couple months ago, will it get a nice update to the proper release version of Android Lollipop, or will I need to flash it again?

Thanks to the stylus and some actually good features added by Touchwiz, if the new Nexus really is a massive 5.9 inches, the Note 4 might actualy be a better buy than the Nexus. Overall I still dislike Touchwiz, and if the new Nexus is a more normal size then it will absolutely be better than a Galaxy S5, but I think…

The Elcor know all about sentence adverbs

Has anyone actually confirmed if it will or won't be compatible with the same hardware that is used for current NFC payments such as Google Wallet, Softcard, etc? Will stores that already accept those be able to immediately start accepting Apple Pay, and will stores that get the hardware so they can accept Apple Pay…

I never thought Kindle Fire tablets were worth it. Normal Kindle's are nice for reading because of the e-ink display, but if you want a real tablet, being stuck in Amazon's ecosystem just seems like a bad idea.

No... that's a common misconception among people who don't know what they're talking about. I've been using Android phones for almost 4 years now, and never had a single issue with malware or "hacker bullshit". Apps on the Google Play store are basically just as safe as apps on Apple's app store. But your point was…

Haha no, but I meant phones too. I was informed by another commenter that Windows phones are basically just as locked down as iOS and emulators are not available, but that still leaves Android phones as an option, they do have emulators.

This doesn't even make sense. Wouldn't the easiest way to make this adapter have been to have the Wii U interpret the Gamecube controller like a Pro controller? Map Gamecube A to Pro A, Gamecube B to pro B, etc.? This would have the side effect of it also working with EVERYTHING the Pro controller works with, with…

Good to know! I wonder if that will change with Windows 10 though, since it's supposed to be the same OS across all devices. I can't imagine they'd lock down the PC version of Windows like that, it would anger everyone far too much, so perhaps that will mean the phone will end up a little more open. Or it's entirely…

I definitely agree! Personally, I don't generally use emulators, but lots of people use them. My point about being able to install stuff like this though applies to more than just emulators. You can sideload apps on Android, so you can install whatever you want, regardless of whether or not it's in the official store.…

So don't carry around your PC. I said Windows and Android devices, not just PCs. That includes tablets and phones. I'm not sure if emulators exist for Windows Phones, but they definitely do for Android phones.

Easy yes, but what if the game you wanted to play was on a home console, not a handheld?

You're right that jailbreaking is pretty easy, and if you want to do that, then go for it! Personally, I do like having the kind of control and customization that it provides, and if I had an iOS device I would definitely do it. But in my opinion, if that's the sort of thing you want then it makes more sense to go…

I hate to be that guy but... if emulators are something you want access too, then just buy a device on which you can actually install them. Inability to install apps that haven't been explicitly approved by Apple is one of the biggest downsides to iOS devices, so if that's something you care about, then don't get an…

Yeah, this completely makes sense that they'd be doing this. The whole point of a preview like this isn't to provide you with a product, it's so they can gather data and feedback. So of course they're collecting a LOT of data. Definitely good to know the extent to which they're collecting, but absolutely not something…

That's... well that's a really good point actually. People worry about things like names and addresses, but that stuff is already basically public information. So in effect, nothing happened.
