The updates to Android in 4.1+ have made the GNex slower and less able to function as a proper device. I've rooted and installed a few different ROMs, but there is never a fix for crap hardware and limited RAM. The NAND seems to be a r

I was very excited about phones until my experience with the GNex. I was hoping VZW and Moto would be able to push out a decent Droid(w / QWERTY slider) but I don't think that is going to happen. There is nothing on the market tod

As someone in the same position that has debated this endlessly in their own head -- its not going to be really 'worth' it. VZW has the best network around, being grandfathered in on unlimited data is a serious boon. When my inter

It's "bad" because its very difficult to plan for all of the extreme edge cases found on the net. If UA Sniffing was infalliable, there would be a lot more of it.

Even worse is trying to click on a file or folder that is last in the window in 'file list' view. You have to wait for the horizontal scrollbar to disappear in order to interact with the last item. Very frustrating.

It worked for Hoover and Nixon. We're on a continuum here. Its not like all of the sudden the government decided to start spying on its citizens.

And thats where it falls apart. If he were more honest with himself he'd say something like 'I know I can go online or pick up a manual and figure anything about my car that I'd want to.' Letting it remain a mystery is j

Part of the problem is the FISA Court. The court has the power to interpret the constitution, holds secret hearings, the rulings are secret and only government lawyers are allowed. You can now break the law without even knowing it.

I just heard about this today... the pricing seems a little off kilter unless I'm understanding it incorrectly. How prohibitively expensive would this be for a SMB to implement? The tech behind the service sounds fantastic, I'd love to be a

You don't have to use anyone else's themes. You can create your own; and its almost as easy as making a regular static site. There is never a need to 'crowbar' anything when you can create the entire look and feel from scratch.
