I purchased my Google Nexus 7 just over a year ago, and I find it really handy to just carry around with me when I am out and about, or even just in the house.
I find that it is a good size to slip in a handbag and light enough to carry around which is great for me, especially when travelling for work. I even took it on holiday with me, which was great with all of the apps that are available! On holiday, I used it for the Kindle app, Skyping home (and showing off our stunning views!) and also for writing my diary of what we had been up to during the day - definitely handy for all of this!
One thing that isn't so good is that it sometimes runs really slowly - I'm not sure if this is because I have quite a lot of things on it these days, but it can take a few seconds to "wake up" or to recognise a "swipe" on the screen. Another slight disadvantage is that if you leave the wifi on, it seems to drain the battery really quickly - but this is easily resolved by just making sure wifi is off when you don't actually need it!
I also find it really difficult to take a screenshot on it, as it requires pressing buttons at exactly the same time which I always struggle with for some reason!
However, the quality of the screen is great, and really clear. Also, working through the Play store as mine does, there are LOTS of apps available, and I love that I can sync certain ones (Kindle for example) between my other devices.
Overall, would recommend for general use and for out and about, but perhaps not for anyone who would be relying on it to use in place of a laptop if needed for more work or such.
As the name suggests, the screen is a full 7 inches and boasts a clear and vivid display which is perfect for watching videos on! The screen is also very strong as at uses Gorilla Glass 2, which means that it is scratch resistant and harder to crack upon dropping - something which I am notorious for!
The tablet itself is lightweight and fits comfortably in one hand on either landscape or portrait position, and it's easy to hold. The volume, on and off buttons are located on the right hand side. Speakers are at the top and the bottom of the back of the tablet, allowing for even sound distribution. The tablet has 2 cameras, at the top of the front and back of the tablet. The charger port can be found in the middle of the bottom of the tablet. It also comes with a standard headphone jack located at the top right. Overall, I feel that the design complements the tablet; it''''s sleek, expertly proportioned and well balanced.
I found that the tablet was very easy to use and get used to. The onboard keyboard comes with autocorrect and even has the option to use Swype. The main home screen contains 5 different ''''pannel'''' screens, all customisable for your apps, which can be accessed by swiping left or right. The top of each screen contains a ''''notification'''' bar and ''''status'''' bar.
The current operating system is Android 4.4.4 (latest - June 2014). Check out gsmarena for an up to date spec - http://www.gsmarena.com/asus_google_nexus_7_(2013)-5600.php
This device comes with an absolute ton of useful time saving apps! It comes with the standard calendar, calculator, Youtube, Google Chrome browser, email services and loads more that you would expect to find on any device. It also comes with some great extra apps, such as ''''Keep'''' which is a really useful memo application, and my favourite stock app, Google Now.
One of the most disappointing features of the Nexus 7 would be the cameras.The back camera is 5MP, but looks incredibly grainy on the large screen, the front camera is 1.2MP as has the same issue.One of the things I love about the onboard Camera application is the ''''Photo Sphere'''' feature which allows you to take photos of people, places, rooms etc, but you can take the photos in a complete 360 view!
In comparison to my smart phone, the battery life on this tablet is very good, and I can normally get about 5 or 6 hours of viewing time without needed to connect it to a charger. When surfing the web I can get a full day out of it without the need to charge.
Overall, I have enjoyed owning and using this tablet, and the only thing I can complain about is the camera. I personally keep my tablet in a case so I don't damage it, because I take it away on trips and to classes etc. Highly recommended
Edited Review from my account on Ciao(same username)
I have had my nexus for just over a year and it has been a well worth purchase. I looked at a few tablets and this came up with the right functionality at the right cost. I was originally looking for a larger screen but after using it I find that the screen is just right for what u need. I watch movies and find the picture quality is good and it is also perfect for games and surfing the internet. I have even considered trading in my iPhone to get the nexus as I love the way it operates. It is light in weight and easy to hold. I bought a 2nd one for my 15 year old son as I was so impressed with the value for money. He plays games and listens to music on it. All in all great buy. Would recommend to anyone looking for a tablet to watch movies on and surf the net.
I've been using this generation of Nexus 7 for a year and a half already, and while not an Android tablet flagship device anymore it is still holding well.Official KitKat update is available for it, CPU withstands all the modern Android applications and GPU still runs Android top notch games. Available device memorz also still allows fluid multitasking.As time went by, this front runner among Android tablets became high quality replacement for the buyers of the cheap Android tablets.
I have owned this tablet for about a year and a half now, and it is still as speedy as when I bought it.
If your into gaming, android games such as Nova and Modern Combat run great on the device - with good graphics and minimal lag. The device is also perfectly sized for gaming, it is not too large or heavy and as such controls are easily reached.
For web browsing the nexus is also good, nice size and text is clearly legible. Only downside is that there is no flash available, meaning a fair bit of website content will remain unavailable.
Being a google device it runs the latest version of android and is regularly updated unlike some other devices.
The sound quality from the speakers is generally quite good, but after the volume goes beyond 2/3 of the max it becomes distorted.
Overall a nice little device.
At £200 this device is a high-end performing tablet while only being a fraction of the cost of the other competitors. It has a 7 inch screen encased in a beautifully sleek plastic casing. It grips in the hand well and is light enough to be comfortably held in one/two hands while using it. The build quality is excellent and I cannot find any faults with the design of the device.
It runs Android 4.4 KitKat and its quad core processor allows it to run all of the games that I throw at it! I rarely experience any lag while running even the most graphically intensive games such as Deadtrigger and Real Racing 3. It is easily capable of streaming videos from the internet and the screen size is perfect for viewing movies while commuting as it doesn't take up too much space!
The battery life is good lasting about 10 hours while just browsing and checking emails occasionally although if you like to play games or browse a lot then you will need to charge it a lot more often. However, I normally get away with one charge a day if I use it sparingly.
Overall, this is a great buy if you are looking for a small but powerful tablet although be ware that you will have to charge it often if you use it a lot.
firstly when looking at tablets what you want depends on what you're using it for. I received this tablet as a gift, like many others I use my smart phone for surfing the net, shopping online, taking photos and playing games. I basically wanted I larger screen and a longer battery life than my smartphone. Boy was I wrong, I wanted the nexus 7!! It is so much better than I expected. Its quad core processor is fast, perfect for shopping online or streaming Netflix, iplayer etc. its light and portable and the battery life is about 11 hours (6 hours under heavy use ie watching tv and playing games). its screen though is where it impresses amazing perfect for movies and youtube!
The camera is quite good not that you'll be using it much as the tablets a bit too large and cumbersome for too many still shots. its finish and looks are not as impressive as say Samsung or apple but I do think with any piece of tech its what under the hood so to speak that you're after and when you compare the price its a simple choice.
only downsides are
1. it doesn't come with an sd card slot so go for the 32gb one if you download a load of stuff
2. I have this running kitkat android 4.4 . and anything above 4.2 wont allow flashplayer so many websites that use flash player will not work properly on this device. its googles way of forcing html5 on people so hopefully soon most websites will upgrade (basically the videos on certain sites don't load because their software is too outdated, see it as your machine is just really advanced if you want)
to sum up I would say if you're after a 7 inch tablet this is the best i've used if you're after something bigger try the galaxy note or nexus 10
I was given the Nexus 7 as a gift.
There are 2 sections to this review - the unit itself and personal views on the servicing arrangements.
It is robust if a little chunky, however the touch screen is a delight to use - easy accurate touch (unlike some tablets) and the default layouts are intuitive, although they are customisable. The unit is easily portable, however I do recommend a case.
The graphics and display are first class, perfectly suitable for viewing video, film and photographs. The myriad of apps you can download all seem to work well, and the wifi connection is good and easy (at least in my house. It is nice to see a unit that doesn't come with masses of bloat ware that you will never use.
The main plus point to me is the internet connection and Google Chrome - smooth and easy, and with the seven inch screen, large enough to view most webpages and buttons - if not, can be easily enlarged with a swipe. This is a real plus point for me - the nexus is far lighter than a netbook, and the screen far bigger than a phone.
There are however issues - it does not come with a proper camera (there is a webcam which is OK) - if this is what you want, then there are far better tablets out there. Another issue is the battery life and charging. The battery life seems to drain very quickly, and it can take an age to recharge - even when turned off. In fact if i use it whilst charging, the Nexus drains quicker than the charge going in.
Would I recommend it? Yes - but only if you take into account that everything it does can be accomplished with an E-reader, phone and laptop. I am still pleased with mine, though to be honest I use it mainly to play games or access the internet in the evening when I don't want to carry round my laptop.
A word of warning - my original unit was faulty (unresponsive and jumpy screen). As it was a gift i did not have proof of purchase. I contacted Asus and this was sorted out, although they take the warranty back to the date of manufacture. They advertise a 1 week turn round on repairs under warranty - this is the time on site with them - the courier service to 3 days on either side. To be fair, they replaced the unit and everything is now fine. The only niggle is that if it was tested when it arrives as they state and the issue described is a known issue, why did it take a week to send out a replacement?
Water under the bridge now, and I am happy with the Nexus subject to the caveats above.
Google Nexus 7
First of all I want to apologise for my lack of technical knowledge! I am really just reviewing this from the point of view of someone who does use things like this but doesn't know anything about technical specifications, speeds/sizes of computers, etc...I just like going on the Internet, playing games and looking at pretty things.
Back in October I received the Google Nexus 7 as a (very!) early Christmas present. I'd wanted a tablet for a while and after reading reviews and trying a few out I narrowed it down to two; the iPad mini and the Google Nexus 7. The latter won due to price, it costs significantly less than the iPad mini and I hadn't been able to properly justify what made the iPad so much more expensive - apart from the Apple brand (I appreciate there are probably other things about the iPad which are better but just nothing I care about enough!)
I've had my tablet a few months now and my hand has nearly morphed into the shape of me holding it as I'm constantly on it. I only really wanted a tablet for playing games and browsing the internet but I'm finding myself doing more and more things that I would usually do on the desktop computer, on my tablet.
The Google Nexus 7 is called this due to it being 7 inches in size. It's a good size and I much prefer this kind of size tablet, as opposed to the larger ones such as the full size iPad. It's big enough for the screen to be really clear and easy to see, but still small enough that I can just hold it in one hand and easily travel with it. It is a simple design, with most of the tablet being taken up by the screen, the back of it is plain black, although I soon rectified that with a colourful clip-on case (of which there were thousands to choose from on the internet).
I find the Google Nexus 7 easy and enjoyable to use. As I mentioned the size is perfect for me to hold in one hand and this makes it easy to sit and casually browse/play games whilst travelling/watching TV/etc. This week I applied for a job on the tablet which was great as it was much less boring than just sitting at a computer for hours writing the application, every night I just filled in a few bits whilst watching TV/eating my tea and then I was able to just check it thoroughly on the PC once I was done and submit it.
Battery wise - I do seem to charge it every day, however I think this is more down to the massive amount of usage this tablet gets, rather than the battery being poor. If I just used it for an hour or so a day and actually remember to switch it off in between uses then it would last much longer.
The camera is front facing, so whilst it's great for a cheeky 'selfie' it's not ideal for taking pictures of other people/things. I am slightly disappointed about this but it's not the end of the world. The camera quality is not bad, it's not excellent but I'm pleased enough with it. To be honest the fact the camera is front facing is the one and only thing I don't like about the Nexus, but the newer version that came out in 2013 solves this problem by having two cameras (one on each side).
I really couldn't work out how to take pictures when I first got the Nexus because basically there's a camera but there isn't a camera app so you have to get one. There are loads to choose from in the Google Play store and most are free so this wasn't an issue.
This is Google Chrome, which I normally use on my computer, and find to be reliable and fast and rarely crashes.
All apps for this tablet can be bought in the Google Play Store, and so far I have found every app that I've wanted ( I thought some of them may be available for Apple only but this hasn't been an issue). There are thousands of games, books, magazines and other useful apps such as camera/organiser/etc. which are available - many of which are free and some of which can be bought.
The tablet came with a couple of free magazines/books and then there are plenty more for me to choose from in the Google Play store. Personally I don't do a lot of reading on the Nexus as I much prefer a good book but I did read the free books that came with it. Mainly because one of them was Alice's Adventures in Wonderland which I haven't read for a long time! The screen is good for reading as it's nice and clear and a decent size. It's easy to zoom in and turn pages too.
Over all verdict
Over all, I definitely think of this as a fabulous purchase. It's one of my favourite gadgets and I love the fact I can do pretty much everything I need to on it yet I can hold it in one hand. I've not experienced any issues at all and I really hope it lasts a long time as I'd be a bit stuck without it now! I think it's a great quality item and at a reasonable price so I'd definitely recommend it. As I said before the only thing I maybe don't like is the camera being on the front. It would be good if the battery lasted longer too but then again I think if I used it a normal amount then the battery wouldn't seem as bad.
Price and availability
I think this tablet is excellent value for money for how good it is. It varies in price but mine was about £150. It is available in lots of places such as Argos, Amazon, Asda and Currys. As I mentioned there is now a newer model but this one is still readily available in many outlets both online and in-store.
The Google Nexus 7 made by Asus is Google's first foray into the tablet market, shortly followed by the Nexus 10. It comes equipped with 1GB RAM and a Quad core 1.3Ghz CPU and a Nvidia Tegra 3 GPU. The tablet is available in 8GB, 16GB and 32GB capacities and has a 1280 x 800 screen resolution.
First off, the tablet runs well with no noticeable slowdown. Initially it had a few issues with apps and system freezes but these were soon remedied by firmware updates. The Nexus 7 offers a big budget tablet experience at a budget price in a small form factor that never feels clumsy to hold, unlike its larger screen brethren.
The Tegra 3 GPU allows it to power through more intensive applications and games , such as Dead Trigger, going so far as to feature exclusive graphical upgrades courtesy of it's Tegra GPU.
The original Nexus 7 has now been replaced by the 2013 version, which features improved screen resolution, beefier processor and a Tegra 4 GPU. However, due to the so called obsolescence of the previous years models, the 2012 Nexus 7 is now available at a significantly reduced price as stores look to clear any remaining stock. The previously £199 model can now be found for £129 if you shop around. So at that price level, it really is an outstanding tablet that offers a lot for the money so long as you don't need the newest version. For internet browsers, ebook readers and general app users, there is no need to upgrade to the newer model. So save yourself £70+ and get this.
I bought a Nexus to take with me on my round the world trip so that I could watch movies and read e-books on long journeys and do research wherever there was wifi. Originally I decided on the Nexus because it was cheaper than other tablets available on the market and I was apprehensive about spending lots of money on it incase it got stolen or damaged in transit. In hindsight though I'm extremely pleased I decided on the Nexus versus the iPad or other more pricey models because it absolutely does the job! Having used an iPad Mini fairly recently I honestly believe that (unless you're super-techy) the only reason you're paying extra is to be a part of the Apple trend - something which I don't consider to be worth an additional £100.
The Nexus uses the Android operating system which is slick, smooth and easy to navigate. There have been very few occasions where I've wanted to download an app which isn't yet available on Android and as I have an Apple iPhone I haven't found this to be a major issue.
The model itself is lightweight and the perfect size to fit in your handbag (or in my case backpack!)
When I first held the original Nexus 7, I felt it was a small chubby. At 10 mm thick and over 300 grams, it just didn't appear to me as a premium slate. The very first-gen Nexus 7 had a decent quantity of bezel approximately its show, too. Of course, for the price you still got a great deal on this device but these were among the most obvious design trade-offs to keep the price below $200.
With the 2013 Nexus 7 my opinion has completely changed. The device is wonderfully constructed, and gives no indication of its affordability. It's thin, it's comfortable, it's light, and there's an ideal quantity of bezel around the display. Furthermore, the mixture of tough scratch-resistant glass and soft-touch plastic makes the Nexus 7 physically feel really nice when you're holding it, but equally tough: there's no flex within the build at all.
From the instant I powered on the new Nexus 7, I knew the refreshed model would easily be the best 7-inch Android tablet you can buy. With an incredible 1080p display that's ideal for gaming, reading and video watching, plus a design that's slimmer and lighter than last year's model, Asus clearly knows how to refine their designs to supply a solid tablet.
Although the Nexus 7 has only an average camera, no expandable storage and a selection of tablet apps that doesn't quite cut it up against the iOS App Store, the device is still a superb choice. For just $220 you're netting yourself a premium-quality system at a fantastic price, making it hard to pass up for anyone considering a portable, multimedia tablet.
For £159 i think this was my purchase and deal of the year last year. It is a quality product and does everything you would want a tablet for and more!. I have used both Android and IOS devices in the past and have always preferred iOS devices because they run better with less crashes and problems, however, the nexus 7 changed my mind it gives me a perfect experience with little or not problems maybe it that it was manufactured by Asus for Google working along side them with the software/hardware.
It was easy to setup the Google apps to sync with calenders my Gmail account contacts and documents.
I watched 2 hours of video and played games for another two hours and the device still had 70% battery which is loads in comparison to how power hungry those applications are on other devices.
You can't go wrong with a nexus 7 I used to only buy apple products but Google tick all the boxes with this at a cheaper price and it still feels like a premium product. The smaller form factor is really nice and its seems the perfect size not too big and not too small.
Buying any Nexus device means you're get pure, unaltered android (currently Android 4.3 Jelly Bean) running on top end hardware. Google wants to use these devices to show off their software so they drive down the prices as low as possible. As a customer, this is win win: a powerful device running the latest operating system for not all that much dosh.
I bought my 32GB WiFi model at the very start of this year for £185. That was, and still would be, phenomenal value, but now the 2013 model has been released, prices have been pushed down and you can get a 2012 model for £150 new or about £100 used. You can easily spend more than that on a 'budget' phone.
It's been just over a year since the original Nexus 7 was released by Google. In terms of technology - tablets especially - this is a long time. This tablet however is by no means aged. As of writing this review I've not managed to find one single game or app that is any trouble for the Nexus 7's quad core 1.3GHz Tegra 3 and its 1GB of RAM. It breezes through even the most graphically intense games (Subway Surfers, Temple Run and Beach Buggy Blitz are all highly recommended) with no noticeable effort unless you play for AGES, then it gets a bit warm to the touch.
These games along with hundreds and thousands of other apps are easily available to download - mostly for free - from Google's 'Play Store' which comes pre-installed on the tablet.
Films, pictures, games and everything for that matter look beautifully crisp an colourful on the 1280 by 800 pixel 7" HD display. And as it's much lighter than any laptop at just 340g you can comfortably hold it up to watch a film. Or maybe some iPlayer?
That's the beauty of this tablet, it's so versatile, you can use it to do pretty much anything. It has all the functionality of a laptop, but without the extortionate price, back breaking weight and feeble battery. You can even turn it into a mini laptop with a bluetooth keyboard (there's a huge selection of these on Amazon).
I recently reviewed the Nokia 100 which has a nearly immortal battery. Clearly the Nexus 7 doesn't even come close to 3 weeks of battery, but for a tablet it's pretty impressively good. Thanks to the 4325mAh battery you can play games, watch films or browse away without worrying about power. In fact, I almost always manage to beat the 10 hour figure quoted on Google's website.
The operating system, Android 4.3, works beautifully and looks beautiful with no lag whatsoever (the 4.3 update sorted out some minor 4.2 lag issues). Should any further issues arrive, it looks like the Nexus 7 will be supported in future android updates until Android 5.0 and that's at least two releases away.
One thing that might be an issue for some people is the lack of rear-facing camera. There is a 1.2 megapixel front-facing one but trying to do anything other than use Skype or take a selfie is impossible.
Unless you desperately need a camera on your tablet (Who takes pictures with a tablet? Just makes you look daft.) I think there's no real reason to buy the 2013 Nexus 7 over the 2012 Nexus 7. Sure it's more powerful, but not worth-£100-more-powerful.
In short, although it's a whole year old, the Nexus 7 still outperforms almost all other small android tablets in every respect.
I was fortunate enough to go to Australia for two weeks earlier this year. The prospect of two 24 hour plane journeys plus two weeks abroad made a vague desire I had for a tablet become much bigger. I was looking for some fun games for the airplane, something I could use the internet on whilst overseas, Skype so I could keep in touch with my partner and an e-reader so I didn't have to carry loads of books as we were moving around quite a lot whilst in Oz.
I ended up buying a Google Nexus 7 - this is my experience of owning the Nexus for the last 6 months. I'm not very technical so this is mostly a user guide, but I have found some tech facts online to ensure my review is as informed as possible!
I bought my Nexus from Amazon, which is actually one of the more expensive places to buy from. It cost me about £188.00 (new), however you can get them from other vendors these days for £150. The reason I bought from Amazon was that I had £105 in vouchers from market research websites and nectar points, so it cost me less in 'real money' than if I'd bought from another shop. It's my understanding that it costs more on Amazon as it's a rival to the Kindle. Which brings me on nicely to my next section...
~Why Nexus?~
I weighed up for a while whether to get a Nexus or a Kindle Fire. I had the vouchers for Amazon, so I could have got a better deal on the Kindle. I was also very interested in the e-reader, and the Kindle felt like it would be better for that. However, I read a few reviews online which said that the Nexus was a better product. I already have an android phone so I knew I could link the accounts which was appealing, plus I've heard there are lots of ads on the Kindle Fire. So Nexus it was!
~Vital Statistics~
* On purchase, the Nexus had Android 4.1 Jellybean. (Which is not a giant sweet, but the operating system) In 6 months it has required one update (I think to 4.3), which is good for me as I hate turning an electrical product on and having to wait whilst it updates. I'm looking at you PS3
* NVIDIA Tegra 3 Quad Core
* 1GB RAM + 16GB Flash
* 7 inch screen
* Wifi capabilities
* Camera and Bluetooth
* Weighs 340g
*Dimensions - 20.8 x 13 x 5.5 cm
* Applications can be downloaded through the google play store
~On arrival~
When the Nexus arrived I was really chuffed. It is a very sleek, smooth piece of kit. I'm not usually bothered by technological products but even I was impressed. The tablet is black all over and has no buttons on the front due to the touch screen. It has an on-off button to the side and volume buttons, and a charging port and audio jack but that's it. For me the beauty lies in the simplicity.
I turned it on and put my details in from my android account which already existed on my phone. It took a few minutes to update and upload, and when it was sorted it had all my apps loaded and up to date, which was awesome!
I find the tablet uses little battery when it's not in use, I often leave it on standby and forget about it, and a day later it's still going. It charges from nothing to full in about 4 hours. I find if I use it a lot across the day on the wifi it runs out of battery within the day. This to me works quite well, as I can always easily charge it overnight. It lasted 24 hours on the flight to Australia which was my main priority (although it obviously wasn't in use for all that time!) So battery life is very good in my opinion.
The Google Play Store has loads of Apps, some free and some with a charge which you can download. All of my apps automatically downloaded from my phone account except for the ones which require phone functionally (such as WhatsApp) I've got apps such as Candy Crush Saga, Runkeeper, Chrome, Ebay, Goodreads and more. I find it easy to find them on the menu and they all open and run quickly. They're just huge in comparison to my Samsung Galaxy Ace! It has also linked the calendar to my phone so anything I add to the phone calendar updates on the Nexus.
I've got Chrome on the Nexus and I use that for surfing (I think it came on the Nexus already, which would make sense with the Nexus and Chrome both being google) Chrome works just as it does on a computer - you can have multiple tabs open, you can open tabs incognito and so on. I find most websites work fine but occasionally you'll come across one that doesn't function so well. I find the Metro website can't cope very well and the pages scroll backwards and forwards which gets annoying. When I open the Chrome page it brings up my favourites so I can click on the websites I visit most often, which I really like. There is also a bookmark function.
I had to download an ereader function, so I went for the Amazon Kindle app. I didn't think I'd like it as I'm a bit old school and I love my actual books. However I really took to it. I find the books expensive but the Nexus is easy and comfortable to hold, and adjusting the brightness on the screen means that you can read even in the Australian sunshine.
The touchscreen is great and I never have a problem using it manually with my hands. It's rare I accidentally hit the wrong thing, which happens all the time on my tiny phone screen. There is a zoom function when on websites - I find this particularly useful on dooyoo when I click the 'login' link to the top left! Typing is easy, the keys are touchscreen but large and the predictable text is very good.
I haven't used this much, I used it with Skype and I was perfectly happy with it. I don't have much need for the camera really, my phone or digital camera are more convenient. The gallery is a useful function, I'm wedding planning at the moment so I can save pictures I like. When we went to talk to the invitation woman I saved a load of pictures of invitations I'd seen online to the gallery and showed them to her, so it was really handy in that situation.
~The bad stuff~
I bought a case separately, but I would highly recommend getting one to stop the Nexus from getting bashed about, especially if you're taking it about or on holiday. I find the case affects the tablet and can make it go to sleep when you're using it but I think that's more 'cheap case from ebay' than a problem with the Nexus as the case is a bit too big.
When I turn the tablet on, all my updates come through from facebook and hotmail. I spoke to a couple of friends over facebook email on my laptop recently, then when I turned my Nexus on I had to wait whilst the whole 22 message conversation scrolled across the top of my screen. There's probably a way to turn it off but it is an inconvenience for me and I'm not sure how to stop it.
The tablet can't do everything a laptop can. Typing on it is similar to texting - it's easy but only in the short term. I'd never write a dooyoo review on there, or list on ebay as I find it easier to type on a keyboard. I also use sites like Swagbucks and Nectar AdPoints, but I find they don't work very well on the Nexus. Market Research websites don't tend to load very well. It can also be hard to load embedded videos on websites, although you can get a YouTube app.
The tablet has a great battery life, you can browse the internet easily and download an app for anything you can think of! The Nexus is sleek looking, easy to hold and the functionality is great. The negatives I mentioned above are minor. The tablet isn't a laptop, but I wouldn't want it to be. My laptop is large, cumbersome and takes an age to turn on. The tablet turns on quickly and is ready to go in about a minute. I love using it at weekends in the morning, sitting in bed reading the news and catching up on my favourite websites! Whilst I don't write my dooyoo reviews on there I do use it to rate people back as the touch screen is really convenient. The tablet is a great middle ground between a laptop and a phone using the internet - portable enough but with a decent screen size. I've taken it on holiday, to work, to a friends, to my family and I use it at home. The ease of use is my favourite thing overall, and it's always very reliable. Occasionally it has crashed on Candy Crush Saga but I feel that that's more the apps fault as it happens on my phone too. I feel like the Nexus 7 was a great investment and I couldn't live without it now!
If you've made it to the end well done, I just had so much to say it ended up being a very long review! Thanks for sticking with me.

Better "grease life" for the bearings??
I'm Looking to get better "grease life" for the bearings in a road bike daily commuter that gets ridden in all weather good bad & down right ugly plus my Mountain bike that gets ridden off road in dusty conditions most weekends.
=>> What Grease do you use for Bicycle Cup & Cone Bearings eg for Shimano Hubs, old style head sets & cage bearing bottom brackets ...??
A) Castrol HTB light brown in colour cheap & non water proof (like the LBS)
http://www.castrol.com/castrol/multiple ... Id=7000402
"Castrol HTB Non-Soap Base Grease
A virtually non-melting bentone based grease for front wheel bearings in disc brake passenger vehicles operating at very high temperatures."
A bentone clay based grease particularly suitable for very high temperature applications. Recommended for use in wheel bearings in disc brakes.
B) Castrol Boating Dark Blue in colour still reasonably priced, extra corrosion resistance
http://www.castrol.com/castrol/multiple ... Id=6008788
"Castrol Boating Grease
A general purpose grease ideal for greasing on both inboard and outboard engines, boat fittings as well as for wheel bearings fitted to boat trailers.
Castrol recommend Boating Grease for boat trailer bearings. Owners must recognize that the entry of water into bearings causes rust and wear. We recommend cleaning and packing of bearings at least every 6 months.
C) Buzzy's Slick Honey All Purpose Grease
"16Oz" = $25 from Jensen
D) http://www.parktool.com/product/polylub ... tube-ppl-1
"PolyLube 1000 has an extremely high shear strength to protect vital parts under extreme conditions. PolyLube 1000 also repels moisture and is compatible with conventional greases."
Others have an opinion
http://forums.mtbr.com/beginners-corner ... 79004.html
http://bicycles.stackexchange.com/quest ... -for-bikes
"Point is that the "bike specific" greases generally aren't.
As far as functional necessities:
* Not too thin - A thin grease, like Slick Honey, will run very smooth, but only for a very short time. If you want ideal performance, and don't mind overhauling your bike every couple weeks, use this.
* Not too sticky - Motorcycle/Automotive type bearing grease tends to be very sticky and very thick. They are designed to thin out at higher levels of heat and friction than a bicycle will reach. So it will last a long time, but will feel tight, and add friction to your bearings.
Generally, buy a tube of Phil Wood or Park tool grease, and feel free to use anything with a similar purity and consistency in the future."
For my bike the original stuff from the OEM Bike factory was unknown...I've repacked all bearings a few times now over the last few years I have used CASTROL HTB but it does not appear to fair well with wet conditions. So this time I have swapped over to "CASTROL Boating Grease" and will see how that goes?
=>> Thoughts/experiences welcome??
Re: Better "grease life" for the bearings??
Shimano's original grease (the light green translucent stuff) looks pretty thick to me. I'd say the Castrol marine grease would be the way to go. I use it on most assembled parts and find it doesn't wash out fast.
Re: Better "grease life" for the bearings??
Re: Better "grease life" for the bearings??
Boating grease is good, I find that tainting/fouling is more of an issue than moisture ingress or it being washed out.
It is a little viscous compared to tailored solutions out there. Manufacturers and shops use thicker grease for a longer service life with minimal increased drag and much higher cost.
The shimano green stuff or lithium? greases are probably best for long life. Having said that, how the grease is applied and contained probably has a far bigger impact on the life rather than the grease type itself. In addition to how often it is cleaned out.
Re: Better "grease life" for the bearings??
I use the blue boating grease on pretty much all my wheels, BB's, headsets, and seat post & stem insertions, including on the kids bikes. The HTB really only gets used for stem and crank bolts, and QR skewers. I do have some supertechnogrease I used for a few things like headsets and installation of BB cups on a couple of bikes (cant remember what its called). No difference to the boating in terms of how long its lasted.
MY RIDES: My Velospace Profile
Re: Better "grease life" for the bearings??
Not sure where I'd use grease these days on my bike. Hub bearings are all sealed units with long life-spans, cartridge BB, headset is FSA with cartridge bearings, QR for the front dynohub is 'not to be greased'...............
Ahah! Pedals. Time pedals have servicable bearings (I think), never got around to pulling them down so far. Pedals are always the most neglected bearings on a bike.
Grease the seat post I guess, and grease the tapers on my square taper cranks.
Riding bikes in traffic - what seems dangerous is usually safe; what seems safe is often more dangerous.
Re: Better "grease life" for the bearings??
+1 for Castrol blue marine grease - been using it for years on a dozen or so oldy rebuilds and repairs. It's a bit expensive tho- $12 for 20 years worth of grease
Re: Better "grease life" for the bearings??
I use Morey's EP-MP2 because my bearing shop said it was the nuts ducks for this sort of application. Given that it is more frequently used on neglected but critical farming components in my part of the world and it was/is well respected...I figured it'd work just fine in a well maintained bicycle. So far this has proved to be the case.
Ours is not to reason why...merely to point and giggle
Re: Better "grease life" for the bearings??
I use Castrol HTB, but mainly because it was already in my shed from car bearing jobs. If I was to buy some new, I'd use the boating grease, because I can also use that on my fishing reels!
Re: Better "grease life" for the bearings??
I use general purpose automotive wheel bearing grease. I purchased a 500 ml tin 20 years ago and it will last a lifetime if kept clean.
Re: Better "grease life" for the bearings??
Thanks for feedback
Summary so far is:
Castrol Boating or Marine Grease = +5
Belray = +1
Moreys = +1
Castrol HTB or Standard Bearing Grease = +2
I'll run with Castrol Boating for now,
* 150km on commuter
* 30km on MTB
=>> Castrol Boating "Blue" seems to be performing well. No going milky, too early to tell WRT washout.
Re: Better "grease life" for the bearings??
molydenum disulphide, lithium-based. Contains rust and oxidisation inhibitors.

Re: Better "grease life" for the bearings??
Was buying grease in Bunnings years ago and the helpful shop guy was a bike shop employee part time as well. He put me onto the marine grease with the white lithium stuff in it. Big tub cost about $12. Use a syringe as a grease gun. Good for what ails you.
Re: Better "grease life" for the bearings??
+1 for castrol marine grease. I went to the LBS and asked for some good bike grease, he said just go to the auto parts joint and get the castrol stuff.
+1 also for the syringe I'm using a 50mm cost about$1 at the pharmacy. It's a pain in the proverbvial to fill it up, but you dont reall use much on a bike and takes ages to empty.
bychosis (bahy-koh-sis): A mental disorder of delusions indicating impaired contact with a reality of no bicycles.
Re: Better "grease life" for the bearings??
We got talked into buying Morey's Super Red Premium Waterproof Grease for our grape harvesters. We previously used Castrol Marine grease (the thick blue stuff)
This stuff is not cheap, considering we were going through about a canister a day.
Average bearing life went from 500 hrs to 800 hrs. Grape harvesters are subjected to massive amounts of heat, vibration, acid, water and dirt. Everything that a bearing loves!
The biggest difference I noticed was when a bearing failed. With the Castrol (which is a very good grease) the first thing you heard was the bearing squealing and then the knock when if failed. With the Morey's the first thing you heard was the knock.
IMO it is the best 'lack of grease' grease on the market. By that I mean if the bearing is under greased it will survive much longer with the Morey's red than any other grease I have used. Inc Castrol Marine/Hi temp etc and ProMa amongst the better contenders. Almost all of the harvest contractors in McLaren Vale were using this stuff on their harvesters.
Now weather this means it is the best grease for low impact (by comparison) bike bearings I am not so sure.
All my bikes are pretty much sealed bearings. It did stop my BB30 bottom bracket from squealing under load, but any of the others may have done just as good a job.
The only wheel set I greased up with this stuff was a crappy set of Alex A450's on my Trek 1000 and they went from horrible to just plain crap.
Hope this helps
Re: Better "grease life" for the bearings??
+1 Another Castrol marine blue user here
+1 another syringe as applicator too. I find it easy enough to fill though, just put the tub in the sun to soften up a bit for a while and suck it up like it were a liquid.
Re: Better "grease life" for the bearings??
BRILLIANT!!! No more mess when filling, thanks Cameron.
...whatever the road rules, self-preservation is the absolute priority for a cyclist when mixing it with motorised traffic.
London Boy 29/12/2011
Re: Better "grease life" for the bearings??
Certainly does. Nothing like an industrial test to prove things. Now, where do you buy it (what type of shop)? I'm thinking for the fishing reels too (I have 9 of 'em).
Re: Better "grease life" for the bearings??
And it wasn't one or two bearings either.
We used Morey's for a good 4 years and probably replaced about 15-20 bearings most years.
We used to buy it from Cracker Holdings not sure if they are still around.
You may have to do an internet search.

Audi maintains it isn't at odds with parent VW over new EV?
by Zach Bowman (RSS feed) on Jan 5th, 2011 at 5:29PM
All is apparently well in the house of Volkswagen. According to Automotive News, Audi has come out and refuted reports that the German automaker is butting heads with its parent company. Rumors had cropped up that the two had been locking horns over the creation of the Audi A1 E-tron. Word had it that VW was riled that Audi wanted to craft a range-extended EV with a gasoline rotary engine instead of following the EV plans of the rest of the VW family. Reports had said that Audi wanted a vehicle that would be an alternative to the BMW Mega City car. Volkswagen wants all of the brands... Read More

I chose Mind Design because they are studio that have really strong branding designs that aren't limited solely to the usual business package. Elements from the logo are taken out and made solid within the shop/hotel/restaurant that the branding has been created for. Examples of this can be seen in the images. The triangles in the Paramount Restaurant Hotel or the crepe moon motif for Crepe Affair. Very original ideas and creative uses for the various brands they design.

Having an interest in human psychology (but no formal training) I decided to take Coursera's Introduction to Psychology as a Science. Here's a snippet from an introductory lecture (it requires signup, so I'll paste the transcription):
Statement: "Much of human behavior is instinctive."
Answer: "No, we have very few instinctive behaviors. There are some reflexes that young infants have, like for example the reflex to suck if you put something in their mouth or if you tickle the bottom of their feet, their toes will spread out. Those are reflexes that go away as the child gets older. We certainly have genetic predisposition to do things in a certain way. But, instinct, species specific behaviors that lower animals have, are very rare in human behavior."
This emphatic assertion really surprised me. First -but that's just a minor detail- because I thought that instincts and reflexes were not the same thing (the article in Wikipedia seems to confirm it: An instinct should be distinguished from a reflex, which is a simple response of an organism to a specific stimulus). Anyway, my main surprise was because it was my understanding that -at least at some degree- the fundamentals of evolutionary psychology had influenced "traditional psychology" over the years (not as explanation of any human behavior, of course, but certainly more than to explain the sucking reflex).
But being a layman, here is the question: has evolutionary psychology found its place in universities (syllabus, articles, ...) or is it pretty much ignored in academia?

NEW YORK -- The state Attorney General's office is outlining funds raised for charities in response to Hurricane Sandy.
The AG's office says, to date, about $400 million has been raised. The Attorney General's Charities Bureau requested information about how much money each charity raised, how they plan to spend the money, services and grants provided, and how the charities plan to use any surplus funds. 88 charities responded to the request.
Taking a look at the five charities that raised the most, the American Red Cross raised $188 million, the Robin Hood Foundation raised $67 million, the Mayor's Fund to Advance New York City raised $45 million, the Empire State Relief Fund raised $15.4 million, and the Salvation Army USA Eastern Territory raised $14.3 million.

Ciderhelm...in case you didn't know it already...you da man!
Making this quick and dirty, for Protection Warriors. Parts of this are updated from the older 3.0 Overview. Lore has added Paladin information in this post.
P.S. I moved the More Dual Spec Details and Post-Blizzcon Updates from Ghostcrawler news to General Discussion for the duration of patch day.
P.P.S. If you haven't logged in over the weekend you have a metric ton of news and discussion to read over thanks to Blizzcon.
The standard "2344" is no longer useful in describing Warrior Threat. Because of Sword & Board procs, you'll need to be aware of the priority and make sure you're using the best attack available:
1. S&B Shield Slam
2. Revenge
3. Shield Slam
4. Devastate / Whatever
There's a few different ways to look at our priority system as it relates to Shield Slam and Revenge, rage, crit, glyphs, and damage, so stay tuned if that changes. Also, I can't pretend the above is scientifically tested on my end, so if you'd like to challenge that priority, please feel free to do so.
Warrior Tanking Specs
Let me preface this by saying the builds I'm going to recommend aren't necessarily the best build for you. As before, Protection lends itself to builds that are unique to your situation, which is what sets it apart from many other builds in WoW. However, it's also fair to say that Protection is designed around level 80 players, and it's virtually impossible to get a streamlined 70 raiding build without big sacrifices. Bear with me, as these builds can be changed a lot depending on your situation. Feel free to ask talent-specific questions in this thread.
Raid Main Tanking
Three points in Improved Shield Specialization may be important to you depending on your gear level and the content you're taking. If this is the case, there's a whole lot of options for the cutting block: Shockwave, Vigilance, Concussion Blow, Gag Order, Puncture, and potentially even Improved Thunder Clap. These decisions will have to be made based on your own circumstances (i.e. don't drop Thunder Clap if you're applying the 20% slowing debuff for yourself; don't drop Vigilance, Thunder Clap, or Shockwave if you're AOE tanking Hyjal, etc).
5-Man/Heroic/Karazhan Tanking
Drop some Avoidance immediately! It's borderline sinful to say such a thing, but it's just not necessary at this point in the game unless you're brand new to 70. For this build, I also dropped Puncture, since the side effect of being able to pull more mobs at a time is having more damage to work with -- I've moved these points over to Cruelty. You can move those two points out of Deflection to wherever you'd like if you're willing to take a bit more damage.
A Note on Cruelty vs. Impale/Deep Wounds
Impale, with or without Deep Wounds, is going to be stronger as you get to 80, but it's just about impossible to get in a good 70 or 70-to-80 leveling build. Beware of this for the future, though.
A Note on Improved Revenge
Improved Revenge is included in my builds for the damage bonus (which is significantly more valuable since the recent Revenge buff), but it bears repeating that the stun is very good on this ability for solo grinding and leveling. Yes, you do lose a bit of rage, but your whole rotation is much cheaper and more sustainable than it has been in the past thanks to S&B.
Regarding Damage Talents
Threat is not turning out to be a difficult task the way it was in The Burning Crusade. So long as this remains the case, you actually have a bit of flexibility in moving points to the utility talents you want rather than sticking to a max-TPS cookie cutter. Bear in mind, though, that dealing maximum damage is now a serious contribution to your raid, and specing accordingly may be appropriate.
There's a good variety of glyphs to choose from for Warriors. Here's the full list (courtesy of Naka):
All Major Glyphs
Glyph of Blocking
Glyph of Revenge
Glyph of Heroic Strike
Glyph of Last Stand
Glyph of Devastate
Glyph of Rapid Charge
Glyph of Sunder Armor
Glyph of Cleaving
Glyph of Resonating Power
All Minor Glyphs
Glyph of Bloodrage
Glyph of Thunder Clap
Glyph of Charge
Glyph of Battle
For level 70, you'll only have access to 2 major glyphs and 3 minor glyphs. At 80 you'll get the third major glyph. There are quite a few good options here, but I'm going to recommend what I believe will bring the most utility for leveling and pre-Wrath grinding:
Glyph of Revenge
Glyph of Rapid Charge
Glyph of Battle
Glyph of Charge
Glyph of Bloodrage
If you're strictly focused on tanking then Heroic Strike, and Last Stand are both very attractive. Blocking isn't available until Wrath of the Lich King or I'd have it. Finally, the reason I chose Charge is because -- yes -- I'm waiting on the Charge cooldown to refresh when grinding equal-level mobs now, and that is an awesome feeling.
Your Defense is getting hit, and it's potentially getting hit hard. If you're still raiding but you're not at late T5 gear level, resocket to +Defense gems to reach 490.
What I want to use this section for, though, is letting you in on some tips for grinding (and leveling). Here's what you need if you don't already have it:
Felsteel Shield Spike
Gnomeregan Auto-Blocker 600
Figurine of the Colossus
Petrified Lichen Guard
I've been preaching the first three for fun Warrior tricks for over a year now, but the fourth is new to my "must have" list. Sporeggar shield is absolutely awesome for AOE grinding.
Hopefully you grabbed Coren's Lucky Coin during Brewfest. This is not, however, an excuse not to pick up the Auto-Blocker -- they do stack. The first macro in the next section makes use of both trinkets.
Finally, while leveling, I have made use of health recovery trinkets. Don't do this unless you're already familiar with quickly swapping trinkets. The best is Spyglass of the Hidden Fleet, but before Enraged Regeneration, I made some use of Ashtongue Talisman of Valor. Yes, it is actually useful in a small pocket of the game.
AOE Grinding
Head to Black Temple and see if you can find a time slot between yourself, the other Warriors, and the Paladins who will be swarming the terrace...
[ame="http://www.veoh.com/videos/v15883774Jc7KMgcn"]TankSpot Prot AOE | Veoh Video Network[/ame]
Per an earlier post: Do not underestimate the value of a scaling damage reduction from gear (Armor and Block), scaling multi-target damage (Shockwave, Damage Shield, Thunder Clap), and scaling healing (Enraged Regeneration). Each of these may seem small, but what you'll be able to pull off will be nothing short of spectacular. You've got a lot to look forward to at 80 and you can get started on it now.
Grinding -- Shield Block Bonuses, Shockwave
Shockwave should never be used while Shield Block is active. This is because the value of the Shield Block buff is seriously diminished while mobs are stunned -- Damage Shield, which has it's damage increased due to the 100% Block Value buff, will not proc, and the stun occurring during a period where you have 100% Block Chance is less effective than when your combat table is not covered.
The solution is to stagger the two. Use Shield Block, which should be on a 40 second cooldown thanks to talents, then use Shockwave immediately after the buff has worn off. Since Shockwave is on a 20 second cooldown, it will stay staggered appropriately.
Block Value trinkets are valuable for leveling. If you don't have both Coren's Lucky Coin and Gnomeregan Auto-Blocker, get a health regeneration or DPS usable trinket in the mix.
You'll want to get a macro running which will allow the use of these two trinkets when Shield Block goes up. You'll also want to tie Shield Slam into this and make sure it goes off near instantly once the Shield Block and trinket bonuses are up. Here's the macro:
While Shield Block is active, do not use abilities that don't proc Shield Slam via Sword and Board. This means Shield Slam, then Revenge/Devastate until Shield Slam is back up again.Code:#showtooltip Shield Slam /script UIErrorsFrame:Hide() /cast Shield Block /use 13 /use 14 /script UIErrorsFrame:Clear() /script UIErrorsFrame:Show() /cast Shield Slam /startattack
Instance Run Example (Courtesy Xav)
I'm stretching it a bit by including a Wrath-specific instance movie in here, but this is a level 70 instance and it will give you an example of how sweeping these changes are:
[ame="http://files.filefront.com/PremoUtgardeSpeedavi/;11968603;/fileinfo.html"]PremoUtgardeSpeed.avi - FileFront.com@@AMEPARAM@@http://static4.filefront.com/ffv6/player/vp_embed.swf?v=798956@@AMEPARAM@@static4.filefront .com/ffv6/player/vp_embed.swf?v=798956[/ame]
Of note in this video is a response from Xav that can be found here recommending this macro:
Code:/cast Charge /cast Taunt
Ability Changes
This is near the bottom of the list because I expect most of you have already been following the site. However, it's good to see this brought up in a single list again:
- Berserker Rage in all stances -- use it while grinding -- don't forget you get extra rage from damage.
- Shield Bash is off the global cooldown and does not deal damage.
- Shield Block is on a 40 second cooldown with talents, lasts 10 full seconds with no charges, and increases Shield Block Value by 100%.
- Intervene has a 10% targeted Threat Reduction included (i.e. a bit of raid utility and a bit of help in 5-mans).
- Imp Revenge deals a ton of damage.
- Thunder Clap hits an unlimited number of targets.
- Recklessness, Retaliation, and Shield Wall are all now 5 minute unlinked cooldowns.
Encounter Mechanics Changes
Another quick list:
- Crushing Blows are gone from raid bosses.
- Illidan's Shear is gone.
- Sunwell Radiance has been removed.

Ciderhelm...in case you didn't know it already...you da man!
Bronzebeard - US
Such nice work
Quick question, how are tanking weapons looking as far as threat, rage and abilities go? Are we still looking at fast weapons or are slow ones back in fashion?
Raid Leader, GM and Meat Shield. Shadow, Firetree Horde
Might want to mention that Sunwell Radiance is disappearing. Blizzard confirmed it a month ago, but I'm rarely seeing it talked about, especially in reference to what the loss of avoidance to re-itemization is going to do to 25-man tanking.
Probably should have a few words on the threat changes, too. Particularly the one with threat from passive healing like earth shields now accruing to the healer - that's going to create a few unpleasant surprises when there's not a hunter around to misdirect on a pull.
Re: Improved Revenge, people should note that revenge's damage has been buffed - taking the talent makes more sense in that context, that 20% is added to a number that's much higher than it used to be.
1% parry is better in all respects than 1% dodge, right?
So a point in deflection trumps a point in anticipation.
So it doesn't matter if it's slow or fast? I've noticed a range of tanking weapons from 1.5ish to 3ish, so you're saying aim for stats? Just out of curiosity why are we not worried about speed anymore? (sorry to ask for reasoning )
Raid Leader, GM and Meat Shield. Shadow, Firetree Horde
Ah gotcha, thanks for the clarification Just thought maybe we had so many rage burning abilities now that HS was less weighty in a rotation but come to think of it with glyphs etc it's gonna be pretty handy. thanks mate
Raid Leader, GM and Meat Shield. Shadow, Firetree Horde
In regards to Petrified Lichen Guard, I've been wondering if just using a shield such as Shield of Impenetrable Darkness (122 base block value + 33s sbv stat) would put out more aoe or at least comparable damage to it. I think their strength is close to the same, but the SoID has 93 more sbv, which is ~120 more after Shield Mastery. Shouldnt this increase Damage Shield by (120*0.2) = 24 dmg before armor reduction and will take place every block or hit you take, rather then stacking a dot when blocking. I haven't used the PLG for a while so i dont know what it stacks up to, but i think using a high SBV shield won't be a bad substitute for people without a PLG.
Galushi - 85 Dwarf Warrior - Shadowsong US Alliance.
Branigan - 85 Goblin Warrior - Kilrogg US Horde.
Nor does PLG scale with Shield Block (+100% sbv)....sorry for many posts...i keep thinking things right after i hit the button. I'm done for now i swear.
Galushi - 85 Dwarf Warrior - Shadowsong US Alliance.
Branigan - 85 Goblin Warrior - Kilrogg US Horde.
Here's a quick question regarding glyphs...
For those of us who haven't touched the beta or PTR, what will be doing to secure glyphs on Tuesday considering the fact that people need to level inscription? Am I thinking about this the correct way? I'm sure there are folks that have all the mats ready to roll for the immediate leveling of inscription, but is there anyway to acquire glyphs for your toon outside of an inscriber? Or will I be hitting the trade channel like everyone else?
You have to buy them from people that level the tradeskill. The glyph vendor was added to the beta just to make testing glyphs easier since no one had any incentive to actually level it (since the gold is useless over there).
But you should note that you can tank every 5 man instance quite easily without any glyphs, as I did before the vendor was added. So there is no need to worry about securing them the day of the patch, especially considering how insane the prices will be.
"We actually talked today about adding an item level 300 shirt that did absolutely nothing but mess with mods that attempt to boil down players to gear scores. " -Ghostcrawler
I´m a bit confused about the shield spike at the moment. I´m also using my PLG with a felsteel shield spike for the occasional AOE tanking. As galushi already mentioned, with the upcoming damage shield a high block value shield might be better then the PLG. But the enchant Enchant Shield - Tough Shield - Spell - World of Warcraft might be a not too bad alternative to a felsteel shield spike.
Let´s assume we have a about 25% chance to block. Now let´s also assume we have about 35-45% avoidance(because we might partly spec out of anticipation and deflection at 70), including dodge/parry, base miss and miss through our defense skill. To make this simple let´s call it a rest chance to suffer a normal hit or block an attack of 60%, or in other words, to proc damage shield.
With the shield spike this would translate to 1 proc every 4 enemy swings, for about 32 damage before armor. Averaged out 8 damage per swing. And if we use our Shield block Skill, we would block 60% of all incoming swings for 10 seconds, which would raise it to 19 damage per swing before armor.
Now with the shield block value enchant we gain about 23 Block rating, including Shield mastery. This translates to about 4-5 damage per damage shield proc, that occurs 3 out of 5 enemy swings. It would translate to about 3 added damage before armor per swing. This enchant would also potentially scale with Metagems and Glyphs that increase your shield block value, but I guess you will use a better enchant for your shield, when these get available.
Now, while this for itself is clearly inferior, the shield block value enchant will scale with our Shield Block Skill (+100% block value). It will also cause us to block a higher amount of damage (naturally), boost shield slam and is able to crit, which I don´t know for the shield spike. At last, the enchant is cheaper than the shield spike, which makes it a bit better for leveling content.
The bottom line, if my math is correct:
Shield spikes benefit a lot from block rating, so if you have a high block rating this might be the better one.
The block value enchant benefits from reduced avoidance, due to the damage shield mechanic.
Another thing that slipped my mind: A shield spike doesn´t proc while you are stunned and attacked, damage shield does.
I can´t really decide which one would be better, but in the end it will end I guess I will go for the cheaper echant while leveling.
Outstanding work, Cider, once again. Thanks.
To Galushi's point: That's actually a relief because PLG is a mid 60's itemized shield and eats into your EH significantly. Granted, in some situations it really doesn't matter but I expect most of us are going to be playing with higher level mobs and trying to see what we can handle. In those AoE grind situations, like on top of BT, you can just sit back and eat a sammich while the mobs kill themselves on your shield but it makes it go faster burning them down at the same time with SS's and such. And you're literally swimming in rage...a 'better' shield will help there as well.
As for the specs....yeah, most talent calculators are set up to go to 80 and its hard to stop adding points, lol. Personally, not raiding cutting edge, I'll pick up more crit/damage stats and maybe drop the avoidance. T5 while I'm running Kara means it really doesn't matter though Prince might be an adventure....
your hat may be nice, but I have the little white tank top that says Legendary right across my boobs. I win. (or more correctly, H wins)
From a pure levelling standpoint, I dumped Deflection & Anticipation for Puncture & Imp SR.
Simply means more range intake from being hit and less rage output on core specials. If a couple % of avoidance gets you killed, you need to find a better healer
It makes for a simple plan when levelling: 5/5 Deflection then 5/5 Anticipation.

9/18 in Yankee History
The red-letter days -
1956: Mickey Mantle hits his 50th HR' making him only the 8th player in ML history to do so. The 11th-inning blow off Chicago's Billy Pierce gives New York a 3-2 win to clinch the 22nd pennant in club history. The Yanks had tied it in the 9th when Yogi Berra knocked in Billy Martin. New York have now hit 182 homers to tie the AL record set by the 1936 Yankees. Stengel will now bench Mantle' who has a pulled muscle' for four days to rest the slugger for the Series.
1938: Although they drop both ends of a Sunday doubleheader to the Browns, the Yankees clinch their 10th AL pennant as second-place Boston are rained out. The Browns take the lidlifter 4-3' the edge the Yanks 8-7. Harlond Clift (below) has a triple and 2 homers in game 2' including a grand slam' to drive in 6 runs.
On other 18ths of September…
2010: CC Sabathia becomes the Major Leagues' first 20-game winner this year in the Yankees' 11 – 3 pasting of the Orioles. Sabathia has twice before finished a season with 19 wins, but it is the first time he reaches the magic number. However, the Yanks fail to put some distance between themselves and Tampa Bay, as the Rays rally in the 9th to tie the game, then score the winning run on a throwing error as they defeat the Angels, 4 – 3, to remain a half-game behind the Bronx Bombers.
2009: Nobody's perfect… Mariano Rivera gives up a 2-0ut, 2-run walkoff homer to Ichiro at Safeco Field as Seattle go home the winners, 3-2.
2000: The Indians defeat the Yankees' 2-0' as Bartolo Colon tosses a 1-hitter. Luis Polonia's 8th inning single is the New Yorkers' only safety.
1993: The Yankees defeat the Red Sox 4-3 because of a fan who runs out on the field. With New York trailing 3-1 with 2 outs and a man on 1st in the 9th inning' Mike Stanley hits a fly ball to left that apparently ends the game. Umpire Tim Welke' however' had called time when the fan bolted onto the field' giving Stanley a second chance. He singles on the next pitch. This is followed by a hit by Wade Boggs, a walk to Dion James and a single by Don Mattingly which drives home the tying and winning runs.
1979: Billy Martin reportedly pays rookie pitcher Bob Kammeyer (below) $100 to hit former Yankee Cliff Johnson with a pitch in Cleveland's 16-3 rout of the Yankees. Johnson belts two homers as does Toby Harrah, and the 2 combine for 9 RBIs. The loss goes to starter Paul Mirabella, although Kammeyer gives up all 8 Tribe scores in the 4th inning without recording an out.
1966: The Twins beat the Yankees 5-3 in 10 innings on Bob Allison's pinch three-run homer' sending the Yankees to the cellar in the AL. They will finish there for the first time since 1912. In his last plate appearance of the year' Mickey Mantle whiffs and becomes the first player to strike out 1'500 times in his career.
1965: On Mickey Mantle Day at the Stadium, 50'180 fans see the Mick play his 2'000th game. Joe DiMaggio and Robert Kennedy are on hand as Mantle is given a barbecue grill in the shape of a prairie schooner and a six-foot Kosher salami weighing 100 pounds.
