And you're surprised by this why...? Because it's HBO instead of GWB? Get real!

FTFY

To put in perspective, I literally live across the street from the cell tower so I constantly have 4 bars at home. I have it connected to my WiFi when I'm at home as well. I went to bed with the battery at 80% and woke (around 7 hours later) to it at 60%. By late afternoon, at work with 3 bars of 4g, it was at 40% with only slight work/personal email usage. Today I decided to turn 4g off and see how that went. The lasted quite a bit longer with 4g turned off. So my suggestion is to turn off WiFi and 4g when they are not necessary. Also I'd like to point I do use my phone as if it was a laptop, so if you're not a big app person then your battery life will increase :-)

I love this phone. Other than having to charge it twice a day the data speed is twice as fast as my home cable connection. I haven't touched my actual computer since getting all my data onto the phone. I've played with the Thunderbolt before and I must admit it feels sluggish against the Bionic. My suggestion would be to wait for the Samsung Nexus Prime to ship first. They're virtually equivalent but the Prime will have a better screen and processor.

I just switched from a Blackberry to the Motorola Bionic on Sunday. I feel lucky now.

I use a laptop I bought in 2005 (A Compaq Presario 4025US if anyone cares) as my everyday computer. It's got Ubuntu 11.04 on it now and had Arch Linux two weeks ago. Because I didn't feel like hunting down drivers for the ATi 200M video card I cannot use Gnome 3 with gnome-shell. Other than that, it works great.

I've used Chrome since version 5 on Ubuntu (and now Arch) and I haven't had a single issue with it. Firefox liked to randomly crash on me as I loaded large images when using Ubuntu, but on Arch they both work just fine.

I can image them doing that, even after Apple stopped selling their server systems and told everyone to use their mac minis in the meantime.....

The day is 50 minutes old for me and that is by far the coolest thing I'll read all day.

With everyone saying that they're moving from Solaris to Linux/whatever, who are the companies keeping (or even thinking about moving to) Oracle/Sun?

How about copulating chickens, a la Flesh Gordon 2? I wouldn't suggest doing a google search for that after this story....

Personally I prefer Java + Swing. Add Java2D and you have everything you need. If you want it to look native, there's a way to do that. It will run everywhere Java is available and since you say this is a personal application you don't need to worry about end-user problems. Plus, if you ever want to get it to work on Android or Blackberry phones then you'll already have a head start.

I'd also recommend using SpringLayout, it's the simplest way to get things looking right.

You're fully capable or refusing this update, but the consequence will be that you will no longer be able to play the multiplayer side of games and possibly even use the Playstation store. However, if you agree to this update then you agree to their new EULA, and that comes with all the these fun new terms. The best part, since you have to upgrade linearly (you can't upgrade from 3.10 to 3.20 without also upgrading to 3.15) you have to agree to each and every EULA change.

So I was bored and searched "NEDHead's girlfriend" with the I'm Feeling Lucky button....I got http://www.ndnation.com/misc/ultimate_br_thread.html

I can only assume by this:

1) Nedhead does not have a girlfriend
2) Every joke I see on the internet has or will be on Bash.org
3) ???
4) Profit?

YES!

GMail items still shows up on my Blackberry, and that's all I care about. If I need to write a long email then I'll log onto the computer.

I don't notice the speed difference at all.
