You could just get a Nexus, fill it's insides with epoxy, install Cyanogenmod, use whole disk encryption and some sort of 'erase data after failed attempt to decrypt'.
Or just, youknow, not have anything on your phone worth stealing..
Also never heard of it.. Turns out many of us avoid advertising and stay away from 'entertainment' news and are no less off because of this. Plus not living in the us.
Only Soylent Green is people..
There was also a Soylent Red and.. I don't remember the others..
Soylent Green was just a different and new one!
It gives the marketing of this product some room to grow.. Different 'Soylent's that taste or are different in some ways.
I want Soylent Brown.. A tasty coffee/chocolate breakfast version! High in caffeine!
Like this will make any real difference..
People will do, as a whole, what they can to improve their own lives, regardless of some ethereal suffering of others.
It is however good to know because it'll help develop ways of dealing with this problem.
Now that they have been caught on video.. I wonder how long until they'll capture one fully..
And how long until you'll be able to buy knock off ones on eBay..
Move the Control(Ctrl) key back to it's rightfull place where CapsLock is on most keyboards..
And make the 'Windows' key into a Meta key and I'll be happy with the basic layout.
Where are my mod points! I want go give! Mod it up!
Just because the words where wrong doesn’t mean the reactions weren't.
I must admit I skimmed very quickly indeed and seem to have missed several things.
The 'Chrome Apps' thing has just been causing me problems trying to use Google products on no-blessed platforms and I reacted without thinking.
Sorry.
So Google.. the company that made such a huge thing out of HTML5 and how they hated flash and wanted to do away with plugins..
Have now made their own plugins? That only works in their own browser.. But don't worry! They own it, and they say it's the best, so it's apparently quite all right...
"The more things change, the more they stay the same." I think is the line.
Space Kitsune!
Off to earn it's last three tails.
What's wirth the G+ style 'magic bar that comes and goes at the top as you tr and scroll' thing? That's damned annoying..
The pretty graphics, I can put up with.. Heck, I can even put up with the pictures..
I
But most of all, I hate that the text now takes up about a third of the screen, the rest either being blank or with HUGE sidebars full of stuff I don't care about..
Everyone who isn't on a phone has a fairly wide screen.. Some very wide indeed..
If your on a tablet, it tends to be quite wide too..
So what's with all this blank space, big text and graphics over text?
Seems alright for a mobile site.. But not for your main one! I really hope the new design will allow users to use the full width of their screen...
The current version is all but unusable on a 1.6ghz Atom netbook and grinds my current also Atom desktop machine.. It's go so many bars that vanish and show up, uses so much CPU that typing pegs the system and uses so much realestate that there's less than a quarter of the whole screen for content.. And so much clicking to access things(When things are not automaticly popping up because my cursor strayed somewere).
Their search engine is great, but G+.. well.. Just because it now mattches the Android/iOS App
Go back to your sleek, efficent, neat ways, Google! That's why we loved you!
About two weeks ago I realized my 4th hand Nokia 5140i(Semi-ruggerized tradie phone) was missing, after a long search I found it outside in a 10cm deep puddle were it fell out of the ute while getting out in the rain. Having been there for a bit over two days.
Picked it up, shook the water from it and hitting the power button brought it immediately back to life where it registerd with the network and got an SMS..
Left it drying, case and battery out an CRT TV for a few days and it's been perfect ever since.
This same phone has survived being thrown across the room(and smashing hard against the far wall, once hard enough to leave a dint in the pine skirting board) half a dozen times while changing the bed(flicked the sheet and sent it flying) as well as drops off two story roofs and even falling out of my pocket on the motorbike at 60kmh and going bouncing and sliding down the road..
I'm not upgrading to a smart phone unless it can always handle this kind of day-to-day abuse. I don't want to spend $400 or more on a phone that can't handle being dropped off a roof without first being encased in so much rubber it can't fit in my pocket anymore. I have three of these phones, all given to me when others have upgraded. And I haven't even broken the first one.
