Over one Billion in inventory http://www.bloomberg.com/news/2012-05-29/rim-writedown-risked-with-1-billion-inventory-corporate-canada.html

As I understand it the Note is 2.3 and not getting an update to ICS, that puts it off my personal list but first off the screen IMO is actually too big. I have heard from older people and with bad vision that they saw it and fell in love with it. Have your held one? You pay $29 a month for two...

Wow, apparently there is a bit of a price difference. Nexus $399 us and S3 $799 preorder, both are for the 16gb unlocked version. Likely to come down after it is released? If I am reading this right the S3 won't be able to do T-Mobile's 3G network, hope I have that wrong.

Is that a typo or did you cross the S3 off your list in the last paragraph? If so why are you looking at the older S2? I was thinking the Nexus was the one to get until S3 three came along, but maybe cyanogen if you don't like the whizz.

Did you get denied?

You're holding it wrong.

Preorder for the second round. http://us2.campaign-archive2.com/?u=dd6d54b0e22472d9f5004013a&id=393d43f113&e=bd8039a5a5

It will be a real thing, did you see to kickstart stats?

No one figured out my puzzler? -------------------------------------------------- Surprising no one I presume? ACSI release http://www.theacsi.org/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=281:press-release-may-2012&catid=14&Itemid=357

I have to say my nlited WHS 2003 has been a rock solid file server for me. Of course nlite removed the WHS pieces and basically left me with server 2003. I thought about putting server 08 on it from technet but I have no reason to, and I agree the things that home server adds for the 2008...

Analyst Says Google Chrome Is Coming to iOS http://daringfireball.net/linked/2012/05/15/chrome-ios-apps I would like to be able to switch default applications. I think the security component with the nitro engine is fine but it is key that this is one of the things that other browsers are...

I don't get it either, is there some sort of an advantage? Like are they thinner or do they cost less? It certainly is not typists choosing them.

http://www.theverge.com/2012/5/16/3023440/microsoft-windows-rt-european-commission-senate-browser?utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=twitter Looks like they caught the attention. I think Microsoft found a real loophole but what what do I know.

Is Diablo three worth it? I have a couple of friends that are thinking about it. I don't even know what the games are about.

OK this is another fun one. Senario: I want to send a picture message to someone to make sure MMS is working on their device. I don't care what the picture is so I will use one on the phone. Go into messages, I want to reply Attach a picture Select walpaper Select one Select one Hit...

I think iPhone is 3:2 aspect ratio but above I was just pulling numbers out of the air. I just want it bigger to about a 4.3" and not to lose the high dpi. Unfortunately I don't see it happening, again.

Yup, pretty much no one wants to deal with directory names and file extensions on a mobile device. On my old asus a696 i used to be able to access a windows file share, copy a book from my file server and drop it into my ebook reader app ubooks and I kind of wish I had that back. Certainly can't...

What a Tall 'iPhone 5' with 4-Inch Display Looks Like http://www.macrumors.com/2012/05/14/what-a-tall-iphone-5-with-4-inch-display-looks-like/ Answer: retarded Just go with a 4.3" ish 1280×720 already please?

I liked the concepts and videos of the UI I saw but never checked out a device. Specifically the integration between the apps looked fairly tight for things you would need to do quickly every day, the whole basis for the silly smoked by win phone contest. Massive difference in the mobile 6...

This is a damn good question because you CAN encrypt the backups on your local machine if you backup via iTunes. What is unclear is if you have the encrypted backup option turned on do the iCloud backups get encrypted? I have never actually tried to restore a device via iCloud backup so I don't...

I find the cited gas mileage at the speeds and hills mentioned pretty impressive. I generally only see 25MPG overall in my car and it can range as high as 31MPG drifting along back roads or down to 14MPG or less when driving horribly. Is the mustang V6 a direct injected one yet?

Kantar: Windows Phone climbs to 3-4% market share in major markets, may have overtaken Blackberry in USA http://wmpoweruser.com/kantar-windows-phone-climbs-to-3-4-market-share-in-major-markets-may-have-overtaken-blackberry-in-usa/ Windows phone adoption is a little slower than I had hoped...

A good reason to consider not using online backups. http://www.elcomsoft.com/news/500.html Personally both of my devices just exceeded the free 5 GB size limit so I'm back to backing up on the computer.

Interesting. If that worked on server editions it would be pretty useful, but still. ..

Why you can't watch HBO. http://dcurt.is/hbo-forbes-journalism I kind of knew that it was a business decision but this is a good read. http://www.forbes.com/sites/andygreenberg/2012/05/09/hbos-game-of-thrones-on-track-to-be-crowned-most-pirated-show-of-2012/

Dick move but I might have done the same after dealing with a HOA for twenty-five years. http://m.movies.com/movie-news/george-lucas-grady-ranch/7883 My parents moved into a HOA not realizing what a pain it is. Super expensive city water but not allowed to drill your own well? What the hell?

The cable can be turned off and not paid for. Comcast actually called me a couple weeks ago and said we noticed you only get internet from us, who is your TV provider? Guy was shocked when I said no one, I don't watch TV. His script had nothing for that response I guess, that sales call ended...

Screen overlays during a show are one of the major reasons I can't watch normal tv programming. Don't know why paying for cable allow it.

Dropquest was pretty neat but very hard. Gives you another gig of space though. http://www.neowin.net/news/dropboxs-dropquest-2012-begins-at-least-1-gb-of-space

You don't have to reboot. When mine triggers a relearn and discharges the battery the log files show that the battery is below threshold disabling cache and it comes right back after it is above threshold. Would just be silly if it required a reboot of an enterprise box. My servers off right now...

This item is a must, unfortunately I am guessing it wont happen. Clever inter-application communication. http://daringfireball.net/2012/05/ios_low_hanging_fruit

Is the ST all wheel drive? I didn't see mention of it. If not that is too much power for FWD IMO.

What the heck, I'd do a backup first and give the upgrades a shot. Nothing to lose and it would put you in compliance. If not then you can make it known that the machine is there and needs access so an exception must be made or monies must be freed up to get the thing updated properly...

The browser wars might be firing up again in regards to RT. http://weblogs.mozillazine.org/asa/archives/2012/05/firefox-on-windows-o.html http://news.cnet.com/8301-1001_3-57431475-92/google-agrees-with-mozillas-windows-rt-browser-concerns/

I don't know if this applies to US or other countries visiting a EU member? I get the feeling it doesn't. http://www.europarl.europa.eu/news/en/pressroom/content/20120508IPR44648/html/New-deal-to-cut-mobile-roaming-prices-including-data-services...

I have seen the knockoffs that are pretty good but no where near that good.

Longer, we still have GPRS and EDGE in use here. That's the real problem in the US, too many old tech piling up we can't get rid of.

I was the under the impression that voice and text wouldn't be going over the LTE network, just data. Is that wrong?

I don't think i have done anything other than tell player to install the tools on the guest os. At that time it just attaches what I think I remember is a cdrom as far as the guest can tell that has the tools on it, which autoruns to launch the tools installer.

Now we are talking 'Wolfenstein 3D' turns 20 years old, play the free browser version today http://www.theverge.com/2012/5/9/3009416/wolfenstein-3d-20-year-anniversary-browser-version If they can get return to castle wolfenstein out then that would be awesome.

I wasn't aware of the temporary nature of win phone 7 in relation to developers. Sounds like 7 was mostly silverlight based and the different versions of 8 will have more in common with each other than they do with 7. So basically when moving to 8 the app store for windows phone starts over...

Apple doesn't allow any carrier customization at all. Most carriers have free apps that you can download and you are free to delete, nothing is forced on the user from the carrier. Not even a carrier logo on the phone. The only angle I can figure why carriers don't like rooted/jailbroken...

The connection I got was that when a certain amount of success is met the handset manufacturer has leverage and can start pleasing the end user customer instead of the carrier customer. Therefore the carriers are actively seeking to lock down the flexibility of the devices sold.

It doesn't appear that keystroke combination works. I'm aware that there are other keystrokes to switch just a USB or just the sounds or not switch them but I generally don't use them. After some time with it, the problem with my work computer showed up again. The same workarounds still work...

This is an interesting suggestion of some trends. Connect the dots http://daringfireball.net/2012/05/connect_the_dots
