I can't stand retro and still have to say damn, that's a beautiful radio.

Part of it comes from the fact that this app was released in 2009, a time when half the smartphones in the world were running Symbian and Android wasn't even at 5% market share (my, how times do change...). Why they haven't released it since then, I can't really say, but that's why it was originally iOS only.

Personally, I believe Sleep Cycle alarm clock is the best way to wake up. I am the type of person that can sleep through an earthquake (because I actually have). Usually I hit snooze at least twice, sometimes without waking up, and have slept through multiple alarms for hours. Unless I slept 7+ hours, I felt like…

Ah, I misunderstood what you were saying. I wonder exactly how much money you would need to make/have that buying an island is out of the question, but $60k a night is cool. That's still some serious dough, but obviously nowhere near the (tens of) millions needed to buy it.

I'd probably just buy my own island.

Actually.... he was trolling the people that always post "nu-uh! this can't be real becuz mine don't do it!" Clearly.... a lot of things go over your head... based off the fact that you also thought that was somehow not safe for work. I'd also bet that you don't get me trolling your terrible use of ellipses.

Good. I'm not the only one that thinks, "Oh, this sounds good... now I want to turn the speed up to maximum."

Laptop Mag is comparing Verizon's International Long Distance plan, not International Roaming plan. Big difference. Verizon's IR plan is $4.99 a month, and nowhere near $.06 a minute.

Seeing how regular people aren't allowed to have it, I doubt they would even have the 300k people needed for 1 dot on the map.

Presumably all playing Brood War at this very moment.

3 dots is 1 million people. There are, roughly, 17 dots that make up Portugal in that map, meaning about 5.67 million Internet users. That would be 54% Internet penetration, which matches their color on the map.

These are roaming plans. A prepaid plan here in the states will get you 2 GB for $60 plus unlimited talk and text for 30 days (AT&T). T-Mobile is similar but 2.5 GB of high speed internet and unlimited 2G.

I believe that's the point.

Interesting, did not know that. AT&T has some plans for Mexico and Canada that are cheaper than the rest of the world, but I didn't know Verizon included texts there for free.

Data is basically the same, but fewer countries are supported, you buy a bucket. Calling is $5/month + per minute. Texting is per use only, and costs the same as AT&T per use but without the option of buying a cheaper package. Overall the prices are very close, with AT&T having an edge in countries supported and price…

This is pretty interesting. For texting AT&T has free incoming (granted you have domestic texting), but outgoing is 10-20 cents depending on your plan, and Verizon doesn't even have a plan (enjoy $.50 sent and $.05 received). The new T-Mobile data rates hover around half the price of AT&T/VZ, plus there's no option…

Remember though, this is still a hack. You have to hook it up to your computer and use the Android Debug Bridge to send apps to it like you would if you were loading an app you're coding. As long as you don't mind that, I'm sure there will be plenty more tinkering that can be done once they figure out how to root it.

Right now it only works with the Note 3, although it will work with the Note 2 and S3/4 in the future. Granted you have one of those phones it only really depends on which watch you like better form and function wise.

Looks like it's only a 60 GB (which after their BS "1000 bytes = 1 KB" math actually ends up being about 56 GB). Somehow iTunes downloaded the last 8 episodes of Walking Dead to the SSD instead of the HDD like the rest of them, so that just freed up 8 GB, and once I mklink my AppData folder under my user profile to…
