I'm with you on that, but the few apps I've purchased (SwiftKey, Nova Launcher, Sliding Messaging) have been irreplaceable. And the app just recently exited beta so the developers can't be abandoning it too soon.

I tried Contacts+ to replace the stock messaging app as well and it was...ok. There were a number of things I didn't like about it though. Might I suggest "Sliding Messaging"? I've been using it for a few days and it's been great. It uses the official Android graphic design guidelines and it lets you respond or…

Open up the developer console (Ctrl-Shift-J for Chrome, Ctrl-Shift-K for Firefox)

Hmm...I like them on the Cadillac CTS and I don't really mind them on the R. To each his own I guess.

I'm gonna cry one large teardrop if this ends up becoming the new Maxima. I just bought a G37 and the exterior styling isn't exactly exciting. There were no sporty sedans that gave me all the features/performance I was looking for. I almost went with the new Mazda 6, but those just don't have enough kick, and there…

Anyone who lives in the Chicagoland area should go to the Giordano's by Midway Airport. You'll get a nice closeup of a commercial jet landing. My wife and step daughter almost crapped their pants.

I tried this app yesterday. Netflix doesn't work so it's useless to me.

A great leader makes those around him/her better. Ex: Michael Jordan

THIS! A HUNDRED TIMES THIS!

This is a total deal breaker for me. 85% of the games in my collection are used. Once I beat a game's campaign I typically don't play it again (with the exceptions of FPSes and sports games). It doesn't make sense for me to pay 60 bucks (or more for next gen games) just to play for a few hours. ESPECIALLY if I…

I hope they dramatically improve their voice command tech from the current console. It's friggin' horrible right now!

I'm breaking the chains of slavery and leaving Verizon in June to go to Straight Talk. I'm planning on coughing up the $650 to get this device. I figure if I'm going to be paying around 600 bucks anyway to get an off contract smartphone, I might as well get one that has Google's official stamp of approval (unlocked…

If they did the pose wrong would it have become an HTC First?

Closing credit accounts can also affect your average age of credit. The older your credit the better so if you have a credit card that you don't use and it's 10 years old, don't close it. Just make sure you keep your contact information updated. I was a victim of fraud once because I had forgotten about an old…

I spent SO many hours playing Soul Caliber and Shenmue.

Fine by me. Microsoft has made my decision of which next gen console to purchase much easier.

I work around 45-55 hours a week, but I have a 6 day work week so it's spread out. I work every weekend and quite a few evenings, but I love what I do and I sleep until around 10 almost every day (I hate mornings). I have no complaints.

What the heck kind of degree do you have? Philosophy?

What would need to change in order for me to give up email completely? My job. I don't use it much outside of work, but my employer would not be pleased if I started ignoring emails from coworkers.
