Except I want to listen to music when I've got no 'net, too: in a train on a plane in the rain... what a pain !

Both, and a third: more elevator shafts ! there's a limit to haw fast elevators can go, especially at peak hours when they must often stop, so however many elevators they had planned for 20 floors, they must not only make them more powerful (cables will be much heavier), more roomy (as a spare for when 1 elevator…

Very nice homescreen, I think I could use it for my parents' phone since it has all the info available at a glance and nice big icons.

the sad thing with overpaying for pretty standard stuff just because it has a logo is that you then have to harp about it to justify paying so much.

Same here, but there's no fruity logo on it and I paid a third of what you paid.

I'm replacing normal (granulated) sugar with what I think you call "icing" sugar (much finer-grained), and putting a little bit (10-20%) less of it since, oddly, it seems to sweeten more effectively. I think I'm getting the best of both world: a much smoother texture, but keeping the "real sugar" flavor, too. Maybe I…

What worked for me when I was younger was a bit harder to set up, but a lot easier to follow. It involves budgeting expenses, but also segregating them by periodicity and linking them to accounts:

I've found that a tablet or two next to my computer alleviate the need for multiple windows on my main screen. Android lets you blow up the fonts (in the "Accessibility" section of settings), and with 7" or even 10" tablets starting at $100, it's a very cheap way to do multi-windows (-screens). For that price you're…

I do it w/o reservation. Simple method:

Diet makes you thinner; exercise, not so much.

With a side dish of silent lamb ?

you don't need a dataplan to use a smartphone.

i got into that with my elderly parents.

Actually, I use a $50 Android USB stick. HDMI out, dlna+LAN+AirPlay access...

Mostly not, because of reliability issues, and the time it takes to build and configure anything remotely useful out of them, for a rseult that will be inferior to a $200 netbook or even a $50 android stick.

about 70, of which 15 I use quasi daily (well 10+phone/sms/contacts...): rss, email, ebooks, browserx2, agenda, to do list, audiobook and podcast reader, screen backlight and extra-dimmer, card game...), 5 I use a few times weekly at most(bus schedules, maps, bank, The Economist...) , another 5 mostly monthly (train…

I really try to do it, and leave practical advice, because I really appreciate when others do that to. I purchase most of my IT stuff from a smallish site that does a tremendous job with pre/post sales advice, so I'm trying to give back to them. Ditto for my favorite review site.

Probably not: it's very slow (VERY slow), doesn't have much RAM... and above all, it requires a bunch of extra hardware (power supply, USB hub, case, wifi or ethernet, let alone keyboard and mouse or Bluetooth) that typically make it more expensive than a second-hand computer or an Android Stick. The $50 Android…

I had great fun when I was working with Dutch people (I'm French): by the time I was done with lunch, I usually had had 3 dutchmen pass by on their own very short lunch break. They do stop working a lot earlier though ^^

You should try being black.
