    I don't know about speed walking but getting out there and walking for at least an hour almost every day is definitely made me feel better. I guess you can say it's a brisk pace but I certainly don't measure it.

    Ford Mustang 2012 review

    I got a 2012 v6 SEL Fusion last week for my rental. I wasn't impressed with the AWD at all, a more careful read of fords site says it is a part time AWD system so I'm wondering how they can call that AWD? More of a part time 4x4 if you ask me. Basically I experienced some pretty bad torque steer...

    Send it back with a different hard drive? That's an interesting point, our in-house repair people are Dell certified but Panasonic won't let them touch their computers, so now all the tough books that we have been converted to for field guys need to go back to Panasonic for repair. Today we...

    Never heard of it. On pc I mostly moved over to chrome now, safari was very unstable with anything more than six tabs of salesforce open.

    Ours go three years. Seems like about half actually make it without big problems. That third year if they are actually being used on job sites is a real killer.

    I don't think I ever had a problem with the quick reply box. Sometimes it takes a while to actually post once you enter text and hit the reply button, is that what you're talking about?

    Big businesses just to Windows 7 after skipping Vista so I think that they are likely going to be in that habit from now on with skipping a version.

    From the top of the forum when clicking on subfora like computers or pub & brewery I usually see a delay of several seconds up to fifteen seconds. Doesn't always do that and seemed to start for me three or four days ago, before that nearly instant. Opening individual threads seems as fast as it...

    App store policy at its worst. http://rogueamoeba.com/utm/2012/06/06/7073-users-can-be-wrong/ I have had about three of these apps now that did that and they have all been pulled, but this is the first that I have read didn't violate the letter and intent of the rules but got pulled anyway.

    New phone time

    Virge reviews suggest the one x has the best screen on the market bar none with its laminated IPS LCD. Have you looked at a one x? Seems like a really hard choice between a one x and the s3.

    Did a little looking and it seems the S3 was rooted before it was released so should only be a matter of time before something like CM9 is available for it. This interests me.

    Motorcycle electrical connections are rarely weather tight I have found, you can fix most of the problems just by taking the connectors apart cleaning the rust out, taking them up and putting it back together.

    The main question I see on that is how are they subsidizing part of the phone cost on a prepaid plan? Calculated risk? Unfortunately I think they use sprints network so I'm not really interested. As far as plan terms go they seem really good. Compared to Straight Talk BYOP/SIM only plan with...

    I was ignoring the iPhone comments as it clearly has no place in this thread. Personally I would do the S3 but wait till the end of the year for prices to come down, my previous favorite was the Galaxy Nexus but I didn't know about the lack of the memory slot which is a deal breaker IMO...

    Conditional forwarding like forward everything except for number X which is your Google voice number? That sounds pretty interesting.

    Right, whoever owns the cell phone contract at your company would have to terminate the contract / approve the port. Specifically I think there is an account number and pin number involved. Never reported anything myself I'm just reading about it.

    Well as I understand it if you port your number out you're actually closing the account that you ported from. You don't sound like you want to do that.

    Ah, I typically only use fake numbers for places that ask for one. One of the nice things that you could do is dump your paid text plan and go through Google voice for those. Lots of people starting to do that it seems. The app seems to work perfectly fine in that area and the delay I was...
