I always carry a 5 lb. barbell around in my pocket.

using this thing as a tablet is not fun. To start, it's heavy!

I agree with those that say it's actually not a particularly impressive image, but there are obvious differences - you just have to look at specific areas, not the image as a whole (as a NASA engineer would do). First, this image covers a huge area that's hundreds of miles wide, so a power outage that affects…

It's Windows RT. It doesn't really have much more "capability" than Windows Phone.

Obviously not originally about this storm, but it still mostly applies.

Stock JB (not Cyanogenmod) doesn't allow you to select the UI.

That's true, but I haven't found another launcher I like (I've even bought the full version of the Nova launcher). I like Google's launcher *except* for this. And given that I have another tablet that runs stock Android and doesn't have this issue, I just use that instead.

Good for you.

Eh, just put some sandbags in front of the subway entrances - that'll keep the water out.

It's sad, because Motorola makes some really good hardware. And Google could completely control it through the entire process.

No LTE, no SD slot... no, this is not the Android phone of our dreams.

As Android Police has been pointing out, they F'd up the tablet interface with Android 4.2. I'm actually not going to gripe too much about the placement of the window shade (moved to the top, away from where your thumbs rest) or the static row of icons (actually kind of useful), but it's practically a dealbreaker in…

That's what you guys get for seceding!

But I thought Android's biggest problem was fragmentation!

A "bug out bag" is pretty useless when the roads, bridges and tunnels are closed, as they were during Irene. I don't know if that was just bad planning or they intentionally wanted people to stay home, but I was in an evacuation zone and it was impossible to evacuate even if I wanted to. The cops were sitting on all…

For what? It's not like we all live in the woods here in the northeast.

Seriously, you can get water from many different sources anyway. Hell, drink soda for a couple of days, it's not going to kill you and it's better than going without any water. There's just nothing whatsoever to worry about regarding the water situation.

Maybe if you live in Afghanistan, or somewhere in the third world. We northeasters are a bit more civilized.

in an area that is now an evacuation zone.

Google Navigation, for the real-time traffic. I have about four possible routes to get to work (that all converge on one choke point, so at that point I run out of options), and two or three of them might be heavily congested on any given day. Before my Android phone, I'd just take the same route every day and sit…
