Not bad things to have but for me not a must. SD only necessary when the phone doesn't have enough memory IMO and very few android phones seem to come with 64gb. If the battery can't make it through a day that would be an issue too but they do so not a problem. It really was astonishing...

For me the perfect phone would be a iPhone with a 4.5" ish standard aspect screen or a android device with jellybean and a 4.5" 720p LCD screen or better with minimum 40gb of memory and no crappy skin. I have come to recognize only one of these will ever exist.

The nexus was for me a trial of what android is and where it is heading. I did look at the resale value of the nexus and saw that it was basically a no risk trial, so why not? If the thing had an sd slot it would have been almost perfect. So now I have a note and ics is ok but not nearly as good...

Your cage didn't have a bar going along the top of the door and following the A pillar down to the dashboard and floor? If I didn't I can see how that wouldn't get in the way.

On the other hand maybe it's just my trying to sell the number one stolen phone on the market that attracts this sort of people. Just sold my Nexus for $25 more than I bought it for, seller paid within minutes of winning and had 278 100% positive feedback.

Odd use of a double domain suffix at tradingpost, maybe hoping to expand?

I didn't participate but it's a blast just to see. Check it out.

I tried out freecycle for a bit to unload some DVD players and VCRs and that opened up my eyes to the sort of people I don't want to be involved with. I thought things would be OK with no money involved but still was risky. There is clearly a need for this sort of thing. I wonder what it takes...

Right you pretty much can't use it as a business model but frankly all I want to do is use it to unload stuff I don't want any more but still holds significant value so them taking about 25% of the value still nets me 75% more cash than just giving it away or dumping it. It's to the point now...

Yup, and you should have a neck or helmet restraint on the helmet to prevent whiplash injury from all the extra weight on your head. Plus with all the airbags coming out of seats and headliners today it would be nearly impossible to build a cage that didn't interfere with them. Similar advice...

Prices way down too, my boss called me to check out a corsair 256gb 6g drive that was going for under $200 somewhere.

Win 8 is going to be expensive. http://daringfireball.net/linked/2012/08/21/windows-8-pricing I think I'd rather invest in technet.

Part of the problem with ebay is I can't even leave that guy negative feedback, sellers can't leave negative feedback on buyers.

I was thinking about beyond compare but that sounds even better.

I was obviously over thinking this, simply dropping m3u files in a random location works. I was thinking I would have to put them in a special folder or import them in an app and I couldn't find notes on either. It would have been nice to have something keep them in sync with itunes but...

Holy crap, thanks guys! Nope, having an android device for only a month I didn't know about MTP but I will look into it. I was thinking of some sort of playlist export to XML and import that on the phone.

You know everyone always mentions how helpful people are in the linux/android community but that has never been my experience. Case in point I posted this across three forums and Merc was the only one that replied. Winamp forum is positively dead it appears, H forums got nothing and I didn't...

I don't worry about the safety thing so much any more. As long as you are buying a halfway decent car that is newish you are already doing so much better than just ten or fifteen years ago.

It will transfer playlists from the desktop too. It appears that there is no playlist import on the android app itself.

OK, I tried winamp on windows and mac but I don't see how to use the android device SD card. Can winamp not use an android device SD card for media sync with a computer? I used the ICS memory management to switch the winamp app itself to SD and that didn't change anything. Winamp for android...

Seems fine.

Thanks, Howell but I think I would rather do the whole thing over. I'm rather convinced this guy is a scam somehow. A lot of high crime items like iphones list no bidders under 10 feedback, I must do the same it seems.

I was just thinking they can torrent it and get better performance. I can't even get the keys for it.

I see them in my account. Okay I guess I was late to that one.

Unfortunately the real take away was; we need better security.

It would be nice to have a viable #2 or even a new #1. Mostly what I am concerned about at the moment is motherboard prices, they seem to be getting simpler and less complex than previous generations with things built into the CPU and yet are going up in price.

Yes, there is speculation that the paid entry model will pretty much eliminate spam.

This comment from the verge is better than anything I could come up with but it isn't perfect. There's some good responses to this on the verge also. http://www.theverge.com/2012/8/12/3237820/app-net-funding-goal-reached Basically for me it comes down to the decision; are you the sort of...

Now the guy is telling me the invoice from ebay doesn't work with a "Return to merchant" error and wants to send me money direct from paypal and not copy ebay on that. Pretty sure that breaks the seller protection built into ebay. Googled the error and apparently it is real but crops up with...

Damn. Just sold an iPhone on eBay and so many red flags. Zero feedback, check. Account created today, check. They use a hushmail.com email address, check.

Not only happening but a whole extra $100k so far. I didn't even think it was going to make its goal.

Wow, so app.net is happening.

Me too, luckily it was my first try at finding a podcast app. A good podcast app can be surprisingly complex and this seems to handle things well but still has the options needed.

I'm still using 1password. They say they have an android app coming out with edit capabilities soon as well, right now the one they have is read only.

On a Mac you can single tap for left click and two finger tap for right-click. This works in windows in boot camp and I would assume on a pc with the Mac touchpad. I don't use the "push the whole pad down click" except for logging in before the above preferences kick in.

On the Mac I completely ignore the clickable trackpad and I use the two or three finger taps. Can you do that on that machine?

I like hearing real world and relevant test questions, I really should dust off the books and think about taking those exams.

It's actually one of the things that really kills me about Amazon, the way they display other sellers and even countries in their search results. I accidentally bought some Bluetooth adapters that are going to ship from china. On Amazon it's very hard to see where the products are actually going...

If this is true samsung is about to get a lot better at posting updates. 4.1 looking to be released for a bunch of devices. http://mobile.theverge.com/2012/8/7/3225833/samsung-galaxy-s-iii-android-4-1-jelly-bean

Acer CEO warns Microsoft to 'think twice' about its Surface*plans That's an interesting comment considering where it's coming from. Personally I would put Microsoft hardware ahead of Acer hardware. http://www.theverge.com/2012/8/7/3225094/acer-ceo-jt-wang-microsoft-surface-warning

Well I guess I'll just order from one of the Amazon sellers that mentioned specifically the speed grade in the title. If I don't get that I'll have perfect grounds to return it.

Related, I see mentions of fake aftermarket memory cards. Looking for something in microSD 64gb and the and the pricing is wacko $180+ from Sandisk direct, about $74 from amazon but not sold directly from them. Any legitimacy to the fake rumors or is that only on the smaller stuff? Where would...

Just looked at newegg for the first time in ages and apparently they allow other sellers in their search results now. Don't like that at all.

I must say that I'm pretty impressed with Xmarks, it really pulled my whole bookmarks together across multiple platforms. I was concerned about it being a separate application on android, but with the android universal back button it works very slick. I don't think you could get the same...
