So I just bought a Mohu Leaf Plus (partially on the suggestion of LH), and was just slightly disappointed that I wouldn't be able to leverage the powered aspect of it by just mounting it behind the TV to hide it.

This is just too lovely.

Update: I was completely wrong. Looks like you can upload documents to just sign yourself as well. I was even able to download an android app to take a picture of my signature/initial so it looks pretty legitimate (and completely legal!). As long as I don't need it beyond the 30 day trial period, this will probably be…

It might even be easier to pick one up while I'm out of town. Thanks for the tip.

Ah, nice suggestion. I'll look into that.

An overabundance of caution, I suppose. I'm not so much concerned with the employees of the hotel/copy store, but it would seem that those locations would be prime venues for malicious third parties. A small risk, to be sure.

I was actually looking at that as well. Unfortunately, it appears that the service is provided by a third party and is meant to be implemented on the document provider's end, not on the document signer's end. I might still experiment with it, though. Thanks!

I'm going to be out of town for the next three weeks, but I'm also anticipating having to sign a bunch of real-estate related paperwork during this time. Normally I'd do this via my office's scanning equipment, but I obviously won't have that luxury on the road. I'm not too keen on scanning sensitive documents in…

For an off-contract phone with its specs, $350 for the Galaxy Nexus is quite a deal. If I had not bought a phone just a few months before it was available on Google Play (for $200 more, natch), I would have jumped on it when it first popped up for $400.

No sweat, I'm leaning towards that as well. I've just never really considered myself a hardcore networking guy (which sounds really strange typed out), so I wondered if I could slide by with a no-frills router.

Yeah, in retrospect, it's silly to hesitate over the cost of a one-time purchase like this. I find myself scrounging since the purchase would be only one of many (I'm going to be moving to a new place soon, so I need new furniture, TV, the works)

Looks like the WRT54G is surprisingly findable on Amazon. I'll have to think about; despite its superb and longstanding pedigree, I do wonder if it'd be better to just lay down for an N router for future proofing.

Thanks for the reply. It just feels inherently strange for my one Apple product to be a wifi router.

I got to the best wifi router stories late this week, so I thought I'd wait for the open thread.

Tangential question: how do you guys pronounce the "lived" in "short-lived*" and "long-lived"?

Oh, by the way, if you do go for the $30 plan, you don't have to get it from Wal-Mart. You can buy a sim card activation kit (the kit, not a standalone sim card) from a T-Mobile store or online and use it to activate the plan online.

Worse. They kick you back to 2G.

The subtitle?

Anyone have a recommendation for a good, simple flashcard app for Android? I tried AnkiDroid based on a few website recommendations, but the interface was unintuitive for me. It was almost TOO feature rich; I got lost in all of the menus (it took me 30 minutes to figure out how to make a reverse deck of cards). I also…

Ah, I had read about the Boxee Live tuner but had no clue it allowed recording. I'll have to look into that further.
