Um, I've only been in the Android market for a few months, but sending anything to anything was already there when I opened the box on my S2.

Streaming video over WiFi was a breeze. Sure, my shite TV hasn't got WiFi but plenty of others do. Streaming video to my laptop with HDMI output is too easy.

See above too.

Slashdot is not scaped for email addresses like it used to be. I get less than one email a month to the above address.

Here's what annoys me about Hotmail and the people that still use it:

Send an email from my Gmail to my wife's gmail: 5 seconds maximum, as you'd expect.

Send an email from work to my Gmail: 10 seconds maximum.

Send an email to my mate's Hotmail from my Gmail: sometimes hours to arrive. Hours? In 2012? C'mon!

They'd have to offer me more than 5gb for free if they want me to give up my Dropbox.

What with the recent Dropbox mobile app give-away, linking my account to Twitter, posting a spam tweet, deleting spam tweet, completing their 'training', getting a couple of friends to join... I have 8gb for free.

If Google could match that 8gb and provide typical Google upload and download speeds, I would swap. Dropbox is too slow at time.

As for privacy: what the fucking hell are you lot storing of free sites like this? Just stick MP3s, AVIs, MKVs, and MP4s on there. If you must store documents, encrypt.

And that almost sounds like preaching to the choir. Something no one on here should be doing.

Yeah and no.

I was warned off taking things too quickly by a very close female friend. I trusted her fully but went against her judgement three days later. I too had been bitten in the past but I ignored myself as well as my friend.

Biology plays games with the mind. You can reason with yourself time after time but mother nature takes over. I even feel this is true for women forgetting to take the pill - I believe the unconscious mind is more powerful than we'd all like to think.

Even after ignoring all that advice, we're still happily together after 15 years and neither of us see this changing.

Fuck bars BTW. They're useless for meeting people. They're too noisy and the booze doesn't help. Friends of friends of friends is the only way. There's no shame in taking cast-offs either.

I broke a bone in my foot. A week after the event, when I felt it wasn't just a simple knock, I went to the doctors. He told me the break would have healed itself after four days and there was nothing he could do. I understand it wasn't fully healed but is there really any need for this putty?

My foot is 100% fine today.

Also broken my lower jaw in 3 places, upper in 2, and nose, over three different occasions. Liquid food for ten week is not nice.

Give the man a break.

I tried NoScript for a week and had to give up. When a site is loading 20 JS includes, how do you know which ones to allow for functionallity, and which ones are trackers and ad-servers?

Block them all!

Only you can't block them all as that often blocks content. That was probably the final straw for me - the blocked content - Google showed me a page I needed, and yet after loading the page, only the H1 headers were displayed, as the rest was generated by JS. That fails the "Dad test" every time.
