Unfortunately that is the long-and-short of it. The Start Menu of yore is gone, replaced by the Metro Start Screen. All this is doing is putting a physical icon on the taskbar instead of making you rely on the Windows Key on your keyboard or the hotspot on the side of the screen. If a bonafide start menu is what…

And while I agree that it's nice to be able to use Google's services on Apple....what sucks is not being able to tell iOS that I want Google's services to be the default. I want my pictures to go to my 25GB Dropbox account, not my limited, piddly Photostream. I'd like my Gmail app to be the default mail app, not the…

Thanks for this explanation. Hopefully someone will be able to bake this into other ROMs. I know my One X running de-Sensed ViperXL would kill for this!

Yeah, there is that caveat. The way I justify it is I am able to constantly change my playlists to fit my mood. I am not bound to the same 20,000 or so songs I have in my personal collection. If I hear some old-as-f*ck jam passing by someone and decide I want to listen to that, I can (barring it is available). I'm…

Spotify offers an offline mode that downloads the song files to your smartphone/tablet and allows you to listen to them as many times as you wish and never once do you need to be connected to data so long as you are running Spotify in offline mode. I use this feature everyday at work since the cell connection is…

Wow, and here I thought Indiana was backwards for only allowing slots and e-Table games at the race tracks (in addition to the no Sunday liquor sales outside of restaurants and bars that serve food)...no real table games allowed. They have eTable games that have a human "dealer", but they simply stand there and press…

"It's full of stars!"

I have a feeling the Android app will just be a shitty port of the iOS app, with basic tweaks for the Halo UI...maybe a rudimentary widget. I seriously doubt they'll spend any REAL amount of effort on incorporating a lock screen widget or Daydream. Hell, Spotify is the tits and it still can't be natively viewed in…

My notification bar was still present and swiping down brought up everything I needed (I'm on ViperXL Rom so I have extra settings I access this way). Having said that, it switched my keyboard from SwiftKey to the standard HTC keyboard and I couldn't get it to stick in Settings. Not sure if that is a bug, by design,…

Thank you!

Had it installed for 10 minutes. Phone went from operating temperature of 89 degrees F to 123 degrees. And this was using Wifi. OH HELL NO!! Uninstalled and never touching again. Ridiculous, Facebook.

In this day and age this is very common. When our house was built, it was an option to get non-locking door knobs on the bedroom doors...an option that you had to request because locks on bathroom/bedroom doors come standard. Unless you like replacing door hardware, there's nothing out of the ordinary here. And…

I'm slow-clapping for little Tommy Pickles here...genius child!

No, it's more like he want's to see this guy go to jail for pointing out that he FAILED to do his job properly. "Kid stumbled upon an opening in our security system and exploited it? Watch out for your cornhole, bud."

Florida...needs no further explanation.

Pampered Chef has been selling one of these for years. I was wondering when someone else would get in on the act because they're the most versatile "salad" shears I've used in cooking. They are strong enough to shred boneless chicken, beef, and pork.

Most Chinese restaurants in my neck of the woods either use the foil pans with cardboard lids you crimp closed or styrofoam containers. They only time I ever see these boxes anymore is when I order extra rice...Panda Express packs their sides of rice and Chow Mein in these boxes.

Dear Leader out for a morning stroll? Even satellites cannot take in the majesty that is our glorious Dear Leader!

After 3 months of using Google Navigation and Waze (full disclosure - I have used Waze for 3 years when I was an iPhone owner) and it still tells me the road that I travel on daily, which is a major artery for my city, and which is the most direct, quickest way to get from my work to my house, is NOT the way to go,…

I think he is referring to the fact that it's a Westinghouse TV, not really known for being high-end and certainly a brand I would be skeptical of giving a mortgage loan-sized amount of cash to for one of their televisions.
