With the zombie chases, it's not your overall speed, but how much you increase it over what you were doing. I think it's designed to emulate doing sprints in the middle of your run, so you have to keep a reserve burst available and learn to pace yourself.

Sorry, but this is a lose - first, you won't always have one handy, second window clings come off in heat or if your defrost blows on them.

Whoa, I didn't know they made such a thing. Thank you for posting. I was in the market for a travel router and separately a usb ethernet adapter. This thing looks great!

Wow, this weirdly mimics most of mine although I do add a few items. I add an Ethernet cable, spare batteries for my phone and put all my bootables on thumb drives instead. I do less physical hardware stuff, so usually I'd also throw in a Lync Headset, headphones w/ Mic as backup if I have to take calls on Mobile…

It's a bit of a pendulum to me. While I'm not a serious coder, I do manage enterprise (usually Microsoft) systems. Even the makers of the Visual Studio are pushing hard to use PowerShell (command line only) as your interface with systems. A bit of a tangent, but I think we keep seeing evolution on both fronts. While…

I'm assuming this is a typo: "the app is not up on Google Play for anyone to try" and you meant "now" instead.

Unless you have a rooted phone or a MotoX the NFC radio is usually turned off when the phone screen is locked, so sorry, you can't. There are special updates for enabling that behavior on rooted phones, but even then it's not compatible across the board.

On the video at around 2:00, it shows how to pass from autovoice to Google Now. Just set up a command "google" that launches Google Now. It does add a step to getting to Google Now, but it lets you do custom tasks through Autovoice.

What version of Android are you on? I thought that's exactly how mine works....

A lot of that is built in through the accessibility tools for the visually disabled... you probably don't want full TalkBack but I'm sure there's an app for it.

On the exit command, first add a 15 minute "wait" from the actions > tasker section. After that's up, it'll then apply your desired settings you want to revert to.

It looks like they made it far easier to use on a touch screen with the bigger spacing and less icons, but for those of us still using mouse and keyboard, it sacrifices a fair amount of functional screen real estate. I'm also not keen on losing the ability of placing my saved searches or shortcuts up by the menu bar…

Yes, it works. Basically it's your play list with an interwoven story and occasional zombie chases that react to how fast you run. They are generally timed to last as long as the Couch to 5K sprints should last so it's pretty much a different way of getting you to follow a training program. Some are a bit creepy that…

As someone who gets bored on a treadmill pretty quickly, I can't recommend this enough. Been using it for a while with good results. Do wish they'd fix the audio balance as the story line tends to be softer than my integrated playlist volume, but that's easily fixed.

Here's a couple notes from someone who purchases and deploys IT across dozens of major enterprises each year:

Google has gone a slightly more draconian route and banned all Ad blockers from the Play store and most sideloaded versions don't work without root. That's probably the biggest reason I root my S3. That and all of the crazy stuff I get Tasker to do :) Still on stock rom though.

That would be *highly* unlikely. Crashplan does however run discounts for folks converting from competing services every now and then. Check the web, there's probably a coupon code for existing Carbonite users.

Vote: Crashplan. It works as advertised, which is really quite cool.

I do want to add, even though I voted for the Nuvi, the above is slightly misleading, not all of the Nuvi models offer free traffic or free map updates for life, if the model has LMT, that stands for lifetime Maps and Traffic. Those models are usually a bit extra. Most either don't have the L designation or are just…

I can't speak for older Garmins, but my Nuvi does let me navigate to city via voice without a specific address. It's just "voice command" + "find city" + "Syracuse NY"
