Plus, since libraries are public funded, this may help to justify them when they run the reports of how many citizens are using their services. Much like someone said in the Comcast thread; I don't personally use public libraries, but for reasons of which I am uncertain, I feel they're important and should stick around.

+1 The real solution is inductive power.

I say we adopt the Nintendo cartridge connector as standard, that way if it stops working all you have to do is blow into it and you're good to go..

I'm confused, I have an Android phone and tablet and I'm able to do all of these things, we use Exchange (not via GMail).

I know what you mean, it felt the same way when I started. I was sitting there, wondering how to get more of my Facebook people over to G+ since it felt so empty. Then I started following William Shatner, then Guy Kawasaki, Alyssa Milano, Tren Reznor, Wil Wheaton, Michelle Marie. It's led to having WAY more people I'm following and engaging with. It definitely had a ramp up time, but I found that engaging in posts was a great way to find like-minded people, and since I can follow them without them having to agree to be "friends", I began to experience an exponential growth in stream volumes. Some of those people I began as simply following, have now added me as they see my comments and realize I'm someone they like. My Facebook feed is far more stagnant and less interesting than G+. I only go to Facebook these days to see what's going on with those folks who are only over there. As someone else said, I don't hope or want G+ to replace Facebook, competition is good...beside, thus far my personal experience is that G+ people are of higher quality than Facebook. Of course, volume and the fact that average Joe won't be on G+, at least for now and the near future, affects this. In the end, Facebook was pretty dead for me when I started, as I've never maintained a huge network of friends..it took months until I didn't feel like I was in my own chat room. It was a similar experience for me with Google+, just didn't take as long once I stopped looking at it like Facebook.

It's everywhere, and replaces itself several times an hour. Thorium

Same here, I just received a warranty replacement Droid X yesterday and it came with Gingerbread. HUGE, noticeable improvement in battery life and overall peppiness.

Me too =)

Suffice it to say, I did leave the company because I couldn't take it. The company itself was phenomenal, but they hired and promoted from within the retail side of the business..so we wound up with a lot of people who really had no place in IT, but due to their tenure weren't going to be leaving the position for who knows how long.

I completely agree with this, but I also have an undying commitment to my customers and when it's my name on the application and as the primary POC, you better believe I'm going to do everything I can to support my end users in any way I can.

Yes, I could've lost my job or got in trouble..in the end, I would never condone it or defend it as reasonable, but I just couldn't stand to be shackled and ultimately cost the business more money by having an entire department sitting around with their thumbs you know where because of a stupid process.

Yep. I did this for a few of my applications. When the business would call and had a major problem that needed to be resolved immediately, I would use it instead of the 1+ hour of time and 5 additional people involved.

Was it "right"? No, but when the Production support/engineers are worthless, what is one supposed to do?

Phase 1: Steal Underpants Phase 2: Retrofit with electronic apparatus Phase 3: PROFIT!

..or something like the tests to obtain the Holy Grail would suffice.. Only the Penitent Man Shall Pass

This.

Saw this on Fark earlier today, but haven't seen anyone post the expected price point. Turns out it's over 9 minutes into the most boring video ever associated with anything remotely news related:

$7,000 - $9,000

Monthly fee equivalent to a cell phone.
