Of course, it was on sale!
Just because I don't have an occasion to use it now, doesn't mean such an occasion won't come up.
It matches my bag.
But isn't it just too cute?

You'd have access to the Play store, also could use the Amazon market, as well as FDroid, the free focused app resource--I have all three on my Cyanogenmod wifi-only tablet.
Maintaining a consistent email address? Good.
Using a service that scans your correspondence to market directly to you? Bad.
People who value their, and my, privacy? Good.
I'd rather communicate with an AOL user than gmail user, and I'm not an overly private individual.
Worse is a company like Google opening up that door encourages other companies to start scanning what was previously considered private.
I'd say the OnePlus One which comes with CyanogenMod already. No extras, no gop, all the good parts of Android without extras, it just works and is less expensive. https://oneplus.net/one
Otherwise, any of the phones that have CyanogenMod available for them, but that requires the user download and click an app along with running windows software to install, so easier to just buy the phone that uses it directly.
Yay for OpenStreetMap.org!
Bonus it's often more accurate, and can be fixed where not.
Wastebook? Isn't that right in with MyFace?
I don't know any using either anymore. Folks have moved on.
People also seem to be interacting more, instead of avoiding each other and lying online.
Life has also gotten simpler again, instead of needing to try to contact someone on Twitter, SMS, email and phone, you can just shoot them a message on Google+ and whichever way they prefer to keep notified is what gets pinged.
Ivory towers are useless, all these things had their shelf life.
Actually most systems are chaotic, not like this star, or the other stars also exhibiting this behavior. In fact researchers had been seeking such behavior somewhere, and produced it in a lab just to see it happen at all.
One theory is that it's inherent stability is the result of self selection.
I just skimmed the article as nighttime reading so forgive (and correct) misinterpretations please.
AdAway is more convenient, but you can also copy your Hosts file from your Windows box to block ads in Android, you do have to convert appropriate LFs for *nix obviously. I have custom items in my Hosts file, so this is what I did.
A side benefit is it functions in all the browsers on my 'droid, Firefox, and any of the others that I never use.
I've been using HTML5 w/Firefox for a while now, and I also have Flashblock, which I have to click first to get the vids to play (despite their caching, which gets discarded upon clicking the flash to play).
I don't see anyone else mentioning the VerticalMouse, which not only is more comfortable but also has three actual buttons plus the wheel button and others, all customizable.
Heck no, the whole benefit of G+ is the privacy, not spamming people you care about with things they don't, control.
it's great there isn't a ton of useless public content there, there is no noise, all signal. I post multiple times daily, but nobody knows that since only the relevant people can see the message.
It's replaced email, texting, twitter, phoning, become an actul useful communication medium with nothing to complain about.
Erm, I just updated both (Firefox & IE) without even restarting browsers happily.
When planes were grounded for Sept. 11th, I went out hiking in the largest natural area around (to get away from road noise) and heard something I'd never heard my entire life, the closest I'd come was underground caving.
I currently hear the whine of LED lights, hum of fans, the fridge, a plane, road noise, not counting neighbors' direct noises (car doors, thankfully not too many pets, and the like).
In my case that would be trips/Hawaii_grandma-2013-03-04 as I wouldn't have a clue when. Most OS folder sorts help there though, some more than others.
This. Structure based on how you tend to look for things. For example, I put trip photos in their own folder as I associate them with a trip. Photos that fit a subject go in an appropriate main folder. I'm an ISTx MBTI type so name things literally which also helps search. Not only do I have pics dating back to the 80s but also was a professional video editor starting with one of the first broadcast quality non-linear editing systems, meaning being able to find a visual by name from scrolling, as no search. So I give everything a descriptive name and iterate based on revisions, a habit from my image editing days. This makes easy to find what you are looking for in specific resolutions or treatments.
Fast, cheap, good: pick two.
