It's a Nexus. That means it will get updated.

My almost 2 year old galaxy nexus just got updated to 4.3, same day.

It IS a piece of shit country, literally, you can't find toiler paper, sugar, coffee, cooking oil, powder milk and lots of basic items, prices were up 5% in just a month, and that's government numbers, no production means almost everything is imported, no access to $USD means companies going bankrupt. And don't get me started on crime, kidnappings and civil liberties.

It's 3000$ a year, depending on the travel location, which may make it less.

We are currently experiencing heavy scarcity on products. I can't find soap, toilet paper or powder milk.

You could be a lot worse. In my country (Venezuela) the average broadband download speed is 1.3MBits.

I read this somewhere else too, but it's false. Shutdown really does shutdown your PC. The proof? You need to manually enable a setting in power options to actually show Hibernate in the menu.
Google it.

The odd thing, is that i liked Vista. It even allowed you to put the classic start menu (found in XP) instead of the new Vista/7 one.

The problem with Vista is that people had old pentiums with 256mb ram and tried upgrading, and of course it ran slow.

When people chose good hardware it ran well enough. I bought a Vista laptop and i didn't have any issue, it was stable, the only thing was a slow file copy bug that was fixed in SP1.

Vista SP2 runs just as nice as 7 SP1.

Don't waste your time teaching ideology. Just teach them what they need (the ERM)

How to enable hibernation on Windows 8

I installed windows 8. Benchmark-wise, it's a little slower than windows 7 in games, but not much. Might get better with polished drivers.

Business wise, it's a mess. The new UI lowers productivity. Install classic shell and it's mostly windows 7 with some fixes. MS should include a GPO to disable the UI and make everyone happy. They removed the free windows xp mode which is really bad for people willing to upgrade.

I don't see anything in windows 8 to support your gaming claim.

Since 2003, i am using a Casio Edifice EFA-114D watch, for the following reasons:

-Dual analog/digital display
-Stop watch
-Timer
-Light
-5 alarms and snooze
-World clock
-Metal bezel (i tend to melt or break resin because of the weather here)
-Great battery life (about 5 years)
-Small round display (i have a slim wrist)

I have been looking for 2 years for a replacement that does all of the above and more, and haven't find any. The other casio watches that have some other features i actually want (atomic time, barometer, thermometer) are 500$, big and bulky and non metallic bezel.

I have looked at the Pebble and i think smartwatches are still in their infancy.

Though my confidence in Google is declining after the Reader fiasco (which i don't use or care myself, i think RSS is overrrated, but i can empathize with people), i installed it and works great. Simple way to create notes and task lists, and you can dictate notes, which worked flawlessly with the spanish language.

Being cloud based means i can get a new phone and all notes will be there.

I am using colornote at the moment

Not true. Carriers sell locked phones without contracts all the time. I bought an at&t motorola atrix for 600$ on amazon, and bought an unlock code for 20$.

I just wanted to buy it unlocked, but expansys was preordering it on 700$.

Not only hardware and software costs more here in Venezuela when doing a simple exchange conversion, but we have to remember that our salaries are way lower than in the US. For example, a samsung galaxy s3 here costs over 2000$ usd, yet minimum wage is 324$ usd a MONTH, which turns out to be 1.35$ usd an HOUR.

motorola razr maxx has a 3000+mAh battery.

jailbreak and install ncsettings. It's exactly what you want
