On my Galaxy Nexus you can swipe down on the entire top edge of the phone to bring down notifications. On the home screen you can actually swipe down anywhere to bring it down.

It has always been standard for Nexus phones to not have SD card expansion [1]. Whether it is justifiable is up for debate. I've always assumed the main reason is so they can sell people overpriced storage upgrades and push people into

I'm one of those people that questioned the need for having something called a "tablet" from the day the iPad came out. I'm certainly not wealthy though so I don't have money to throw away, but if I'm browsing

Apps that are running have a significant effect on battery life. One of the big problems with Android (vs iPhones) is that manufacturers and ISPs still have some control over messing with stock Apps. Also people might expect to be able to i

My biggest peeve with the onscreen buttons (using flagship Galaxy Nexus) is accidentally pressing them, primarily when I'm trying to take a selfie with the rear camera. It's insanely frustrating the way the orientation moves them

Although I can't speak for all Android phones, in my opinion this is absolutely what the manufacturers need to focus on (hurhur) to compete with Apple.

Taking the decision of who is appealing away from women (and men, as if the 80% ever had any selection power) by using matchmakers seems like a promising fix to me. Although women still have the power to reject the date, they at least might

As IQ is to Intelligence Quotient, I assumed that EQ is to Emotional Quotient. So kind of like emotional intelligence. I'm sure I could find much more info about these terms and proper usage with a google search.

It's not as common but they do say "haa?" (sounding a lot like our "huh?") too. Another very common one besides "e?" is "n?", and also "are?" (more associated with "what?"). A

Tinder is considered a success? I've used it and maybe I'm just a loser, but my experience and I believe the general consensus is that it is mostly for hookups. I am highly doubtful that women are meeting men that are actually int

Must watch anime: Wolf Children (Ookami Kodomo no Ame to Yuki) It's about a man that is also a wolf who meets a woman and they have kids, and about their struggle to grow up and live with their human and wolf personalities.

In regards to understanding voice input, I have been thoroughly impressed with Google's ability to do this ever since I started using their 1-800-GOOG-411 service. I didn't get my first smartphone with data until 2009 (Droid), so
