And as soon as they get the Galaxy Nexus port into a state that's stable enough to be a daily driver I'm going to pick one up. Until then I'll be sticking with my Pre2.

I'm not a musician, but I have some friends who dabble with music. I've seen them hunt for guitar tabs online to learn new songs, and it always looks like a sad night of romance with Notepad. Is there a better system for sharing tabs than

I'll probably be going the VPN route for the Olympics this year. Here in the States NBC has exclusive broadcast rights. During the Beijing games they were testing online streaming for the first time, and it worked great. I could watch wh
