Well I was going to switch to an iPhone 5 but at $300 unlocked, I think google just kept me an android user.

I used windows with media center as my dvr/netflix/movies catalog. I wonder if there are any updates to media center.

So what does "works" mean? Does it actually charge the phone if you manage to hack it to fit?

Yup. Basically this. The question now is do I stick with what I have, or do a throw $200 at a nexus 7 to make due until then.

329!!! That's about 40 dollars too much......now that I type that it seems like a trivial amount, but I'm sticking to it.

I got my dad a mofone a while back and he is still using it. I can see him loving an e-ink smart phone. One of the things he would really like to add to his phone is maps.

Really like this. Probably my favorite of the ios homescreens posted today.

I like this quite a bit. I should consider adding color back to my phone.

Where did you get your theme/icons?

Getting an iphone soon though so. Whatev. Running android 2.3 with golauncher.

What are you using for the black notifications?

:D :D :D

My friend brought coffee from japan that was awesome. Basically it was coffee in a sealed coffee filter bag, that you tared open at the top, popped out handles on the side that held it over your mug, and then poured hot water to brew the coffee. A little on the weak side, but perfectly drinkable.

Even if apple wanted to employee people to do this in the USA, there is not a single plant here that could build their devices. Also, Americans are just not interested in these jobs. You say, oh oh, no they are, but its a complete fallacy. People seem to think Americans are ready to do hard/repetitive labor, but they…

Yup! Loved it while I was there. One of the benifits of the tuition if you ask me.

Haven't noticed any. I've used them primarily as a cheap upgrade for older desktops with old network cards, and the wifi dongles seem to speed things up if anything.

No you are totally right. Before the redesign the open thread would easily get into the 200 comments neighborhood. Now you are lucky if you get above 75. Its depressing mostly because i lost one of my favorite places for intelligent tips.

I've used usb dongles, and they've worked great. I've had much success with the cheap 11 dollar chinese no name ones from ebay.

Its the little things isn't it? For me the whole, close the lid and sleeps, open the lid and wakes up, every time, is one of the reasons I stick with macs. It just unbearable to not have that simple basic function work without fail every time, and yet with a PC i always feel like I'm taking some sort of gamble.

What about using the Belkin Conserve power strip with the remote switch: http://amzn.com/B003P2UMNK
