No physical volume buttons?

It's never going to happen. Joss won't do anything with Firefly because he's too busy so I'm sure he won't do a Buffy movie. Plus, the comics that followed the show are considered canon and have gone off on a really weird tangent. He'd either have to continue with that storyline and make one hell of a confusing movie…

That's what I thought. I'm thinking more of any kind of firmware updates that may come out to speed up streaming or whatnot.

Anyone know how this will update? Will it autoupdate or will we have to connect ot to our computers via the USB? Does it even need updates?

Also, anyone on the network could cast to your device. I got mine yesterday and didn't see a way to lock out other devices. If they're on the same wifi they can cast to your dongle.

I am so excited for my Chromecast to arrive on Monday. I did have a media PC that I had connected to my TV via cables but I'm trying to eliminate shelf clutter. And honestly, I have had the worst luck with Airplay and the Remote App on my iPhone and iPad. It was always a hassle to get them to talk to my PC. Hopefully…

Sweet! Canceled my Google order and placed the Amazon order. Getting that Prime membership continues to be a great decision.

I'm not super aware of HDMI capabilities. Can it charge things like USB can? If not, I wonder if I can just run a cable from the unused USB port on the back of my tv into the charging port on this device.

Hmm. I wonder if that means I'll be able to use the web interface for Spotify on it.

as guy that likes to wear bow ties and has for quite some time, i'm worried about the high rate of douchbags and asshats adopting my favorite accessory.

I'll let George weigh in on this one.

I did this a few years back with a Geo Tracker. I called it the Geo Chalker. I had a website geochalker.com that I would post the images of what people chalked. (the domain is no longer registered but it's all archived here http://flavors.me/enealio#5ac/bl…). In the few years I had it as an art car, there were only…

These pics don't do justice to just how cool these look at night.

Yes!! Time for a reboot!

but this is in the future!!

Does anyone ever use the compass app? I forgot the damn thing existed until I saw these images.

But it doesn't exist in Instagram. You are snapping a regular picture and then applying the filter, which is what Apple is offering us 4S users to do. Snap then filter. I get the impression that with the Apple camera filters, you can pick a filter and see what it looks like before snapping it. But while Instagram…

My guess is that Amazon was allowed mostly for Kindle users. Though I wish I could keep using my Kindle touch during takeoff and landing. Come on airlines, this ereader is not going to take down a plane.

Agreed. Chrome's lack of support for touchscreens is frustrating. I hate to admit this, but more and more I find myself switching to IE when using my computer in tablet mode. Is there a support group for this?

Exact same balloon formation pointed out in annotation #3. Also I live in Portland. I biked by this and there's no way it was this big.
