Rated 5 out of 5�by HappyParents Awesome Product - Easy to use Our son is playing 13U Fallball, catching double headers on Sundays. He is so happy with the EvoShield Catcher's Thumb Guard. I wish we found it for him sooner. He will wear this product whenever he is catching (hopefully though high school). It was very easy to fit to his hand. The directions were very clear and we were all amazed at how quickly it hardened. The EvoShield was a quarter of the price of other plastic products we looked at. I and my son would highly recommend this product to all catchers young and old. September 22, 2016

HARTFORD, Conn. -- For three weeks, the whispers that wayward Rutgers had finally found its way grew louder. When the Scarlet Knights stamped their arrival at the Big East Tournament with a show-stopping rout of Seton Hall Saturday night, the chatter had turned into a roar: Rutgers was back.
"This kind of a loss hurts," said C. Vivian Stringer, whose team was bounced from the conference tournament by Louisville for the second consecutive season. "When you sabotage yourself, you steal from yourself. That's basically what happened. We self-destructed. It wasn't the officials. It was us."
Seventh-seeded Rutgers (19-12) -- which trailed by four at halftime -- cheated death in regulation and overtime before falling. The Scarlet Knights, who dug themselves out of a 14-point hole midway through the second half and a five-point deficit late in the first overtime, will await their NCAA Tournament fate when bids are handed out March 16.
Louisville's Angel McCoughtry erupted for 35 points to help the Cardinals overcome 23 turnovers and advance to Monday night's semifinal against Pittsburgh.
"People say we're a one person team," Louisville coach Jeff Walz said. "What's good for us (is) they have a hard time stopping that one."
Epiphanny Prince had 25 points, but made a costly mistake at the end of the first overtime. Rather than hold the ball for the final shot, Prince was whistled for a charge -- her fifth foul -- on a drive with 23.2 seconds left. Stringer's plea for a timeout went unanswered by the referees, who did not see the coach call for it.
"I was on the bench (for) doing something silly," Prince said. "I was just disappointed in myself. I was disappointed (that) I didn't wait to take the last shot."
Rutgers -- which shot 47 percent (33-for-70) from the field -- looked like a different team in the second overtime without its leading scorer.
"I could tell they struggled a little bit without her," said McCoughtry, who scored 66 points in the Cardinals' pair of wins over Rutgers this season.
Kia Vaughn had 14 of her 17 points after intermission. Brittany Ray, whose basket at the end of regulation forced overtime, finished with 16 points.
"We can't sulk and cry over this," Ray said. "We have to figure out what we did wrong and correct our mistakes."
Louisville, ranked No. 7 in the latest AP Top 25 poll, was on cruise control with a 14-point lead midway through the second half before Rutgers stormed back thanks to its "55" full-court pressure. The Scarlet Knights, who stalled in their offensive sets for the first 30 minutes, came alive after Stringer delivered a not-so-subtle statement to her regulars by taking them all out for about a minute.
"We knew they weren't going to quit," said Walz, whose club hit 10 3-pointers after not making any in the first meeting between the two teams in January. "We went through a four-minute stretch where we just panicked. They really started to dictate to us how they wanted to play. Unfortunately, we fell into it. And they hit some big shots."
Ray's lefty layup with 3.1 seconds left in regulation capped a 24-10 Rutgers run over the final 10 minutes to force overtime.
"When you go into overtime, you have the perception in your head (like), 'Man, we can really win this game,'" Ray said. "When (Prince) and (Khadijah Rushdan) went (out), everyone was in a daze. I thought we could have won. We just made crucial errors in crunch time and that's what hurt us."
Rutgers was outrebounded 41-34.
The Cardinals had nearly as many offensive rebounds (10) in the first half as the Scarlet Knights had total rebounds (11) before the break.
Stringer's club shot 50 percent (9 of 18) from the free throw line.
Walz was hit with a technical foul to help Rutgers jump out to a 10-1 lead to begin the game.
Prince had five of Rutgers' 15 steals.
Heather Zurich had a team-high five assists and four steals.
Rutgers dropped to 1-9 against ranked teams this season.

It's been just barely a week since Google's Android Wear project made its initial debut, but already one major maker of wearable devices has snubbed the new platform.
Google on Wednesday released a developer preview for Android Wear, a day after announcing the project, which Android head honcho Sunder Pichai teased at SXSW earlier this month.
A while back, Canonical released an experimental Ubuntu Touch emulator running Unity 8 and Mir. Back then, there were a few bugs, including a nasty one on 64bit that could break the system, but they were fixed and although the emulator is still pretty slow, I though I'd write an article on how to properly […]
Evernote this week launched handwriting capabilities in its app for Android, offering a long-awaited extension of some of the functionality it brought to iOS when it acquired Penultimate back in 2012. "Sometimes there's no better way to capture an idea than to write it down or sketch it out," wrote Andrew Sinkov of Evernote's marketing team in a Wednesday blog post.
The first Tizen phones may still be on the horizon, but at least one software provider is already planning ahead. Infraware Technology debuted software that can port Android apps to the Tizen mobile OS without additional development or customization. Both Android and Tizen are based on Linux, of course, but that doesn't mean their native apps are compatible.
Nokia on Monday confirmed months of speculation with the unveiling of its X family of smartphones running Android. The X, X+ and XL are priced at $123, $136 and $150, respectively. Like Nokia's low-end Asha line, the X devices come in bright colors. They borrow some of Asha's other well-received features as well. Unlike Asha, however, the X series will not be available in the U.S.
The Android operating system, which Google touts as open, isn't. Google imposes strict restrictions on smartphone manufacturers and app developers in its Android mobile application distribution agreement, according to excerpts of documents revealed by Ben Edelman, an associate professor at the Harvard Business School. The information was obtained from two MADAs admitted in open court.
Smartphones and tablets have become ubiquitous — and so convenient that we often download apps and approve permissions without giving them much thought. Such behavior exposes the data we store on our prized devices to increasing risk. That blind trust is just what app makers count on. Android users, especially, are complacent about synchronizing apps on multiple devices.
It's a good idea to prune an Android device periodically, for a few reasons. A mishmash of apps, some aging, have all kinds of on-device routines running that can negatively affect performance. Worse, some are continually accessing the Internet and eating into your data cap — unlimited wireless Internet on mobile devices is practically nonexistent these days.
Consumers might soon have access to cheaper, more talented smartphones that could challenge the market dominance of Android and iOS. At least that is the promise from the Tizen Association. The growing group of phone makers and application developers recently launched a partner program with 36 companies from all segments of the mobile and connected device ecosystems.
In case you hadn't noticed while wandering the aisles of your local consumer electronics big-box retailer, there is an explosion of mobile virtual network operators hitting the marketplace. MVNOs are telcos that buy capacity from major operators like T-Mobile or AT&T, for example, and sell it on to you. Walmart and América Móvil's Straight Talk calling product is an example.
Setting up a brand-new phone can involve numerous aggravations, but if you don't rely on one of the majors like Yahoo and Gmail for email, one of the worst is surely the manual email server configuration. If you use a customized domain name, your Android device's email client is likely to need this extra step. This could become an even more prevalent problem with the January U.S. launch of the Moto G smartphone.
If you're in the majority of Android users, your smartphone or tablet isn't protected from malware attacks. In fact, Jupiter Research reckons that a full 80 percent of smartphones are unprotected. Why is that a problem? The answer is that even if your smartphone hasn't been affected so far, it likely will be, and that's because of the vast sums of money motivating criminals.
We all back up our PCs, right? Okay, well, we should back up our PCs, right? Well, smartphones and tablets have become so ubiquitous that we need to back them up now too. It's time. Important photos, videos, contacts and music are now strewn across small, easy-to-lose, easy-to-break, highly pilferable devices. Fail to back up this stuff at your peril.
Recently I wrote about some of the best ways to take, keep and share photographs with an Android smartphone. We looked at some physical aspects, like how to hold the phone, and how to zoom. This week, we're looking at some of the tweaks you can make to squeeze out the best shots. First, build an arsenal of apps. For an investment of a few dollars, you can up your game.
It's not all photo apps and more apps when it comes to taking photographs with an Android smartphone — there are some basics that you need to know, unique to smartphones, that have nothing to do with imaging apps. If you're finding that you're migrating from a dedicated digital camera and taking more photographs with your phone but are disappointed with the results, here are some pointers.
The first reviews of the Samsung Galaxy Gear smartwatch have hit the Internet and they are generally tepid. However, "I'm not sure how anyone can give it a rating of anything until it is put through its paces over time by consumers actually using it in real-life situations," said Larry Chiagouris, a professor at Pace University. Many reviewers expressed concern over the Gear's $300 price tag.
Google on Tuesday rolled out a feature for its recently launched Android Device Manager that lets users lock down a stolen Android device from anywhere, via the Web.
The Cyanogen free and open source Android firmware project on Wednesday announced that it had received $7 million in a Series A round of funding in April. The investment came from Benchmark Capital and Redpoint Ventures. "What will change is our capabilities, our speed, and our size," wrote Cyanogen founder Steve Kondik. "I am not going to let anyone stagnate."
Aiming to capture a piece of the market that has given the Raspberry Pi such a warm reception, SolidRun on Wednesday announced a new tiny computer of its own dubbed the "CuBox-i." Available in four models with prices starting at $45, the tiny computer includes an OpenGL|ES 2.0 GPU with OpenCL 1.1 embedded profile support; and up to four i.MX6 Cortex A9 ARM processors with as much as 1.2GHz each.

Well I'm not going to argue on what our mods told us not to, so I'll just leave it at that.
The mods just want us not to point fingers at the commissioner or NHLPA head. If you have proof if any of the people involved do not care about the season being cancelled, I would like to read that. That would be very discouraging.

Verizon Galaxy Nexus vs Motorola DROID RAZR
0. phoneArena 23 Dec 2011, 04:32 posted on
Out of all the national carriers in the US, there's no kidding that Verizon's lineup is saturated to the top with some of the industry's leading devices! Amongst the highly competitive devices, the Samsung Galaxy Nexus and Motorola DROID RAZR stand out immensely thanks to their specialty refinements, but considering that our appetites are voracious, there can only be one that can be proclaimed as being the best of the best...
This is a discussion for a review. To read the whole review, click here
120. jroc74 (Posts: 6005; Member since: 30 Dec 2010)
And if Moto is notorious for inflating the signal and bars...when it says -120 on my Droid 1 and RAZR and I get no service that must be wrong. When it shows in the mid -90's and higher and data and phone use can start getting sketchy must be wrong then.
When it shows -55 I get an absolutely great signal and thats wrong too.
So for years -110, -120 wasnt good for voice service...and all of a sudden because the G Nex wants to show the LTE signal, and disregard the other signals the phone uses...everyone else is doing it wrong?
I hate to say this but its amazing how some ppl called it with the Galaxy S 2 ...saying the G Nex has bought out blind fanboy ways in some of us. Only thing thats gonna happen after the update is when they see the same readings as other phones and see how their G Nex doesnt work as good as other phones in bad reception areas....it will just confirm Samsung's rep for weak reception. Thats all. Right now it can be blamed on the "accurate" LTE signal.
121. jinwons (Posts: 95; Member since: 24 Nov 2010)
It was not Samsung's decision to put out LTE signal on Gnex. It's probably Google since they are running the show on software side of it. And the phone signal reception on Gnex is just fine regardless of signal reading.

There is NO QUESTION who's KING of ANDROID as well as VERIZON that is the GALAXY NEXUS. But yes as far as reception goes that would be the HTC REZOUND followed by the DROID RAZR...I am happy I have the GALAXY NEXUS it offers far more than any silly razr that's for sure...
119. jroc74 (Posts: 6005; Member since: 30 Dec 2010)
Damn, when did you leave Sprint....?
111. SoopaManLuv (Posts: 24; Member since: 11 Aug 2011)
Opinions r like assholes. We all have em and they all stink. If u want a Razr get a Razr. If u want Nexus get a Nexus. Both seem like great phones and at tha end of tha day its all about user preference. Me, Nexus all tha way. Y? Cause that's what I want. Not what Joe Blow says I should get or because PA says its "the phone of the yr". But because I want it. Simple as that. U guys need 2 get over urselfs cause Bob says this is better than that or Mike says that's better than this. Who cares. Remember, they make different phones cause peoples wants/needs r different. If they didn't make different phones what fun would that b?
112. SoopaManLuv (Posts: 24; Member since: 11 Aug 2011)
Sn: y does everybody keep bringing up the SGSII? Its not even offered on Verizon so what tha hell is tha point of bringing it up? Especially when tha comparison is clearly between 2 Verizon phones?!? I mean, really? Jus saying...
115. asadsaghir (Posts: 1; Member since: 25 Dec 2011)
i want mobile
122. InspectorGadget80 (unregistered)
PhoneArena you guys need to get rid of your sign when comparing pictures because I can still see the phonearena see through name on both phones. But I still like the RAZR cause of its thinness
127. rjbp64 (Posts: 28; Member since: 15 Dec 2011)
i just hope thatthe people who have either phones are truly happy and arent saying what if.... thats the worst.
129. hreppert (Posts: 2; Member since: 20 May 2011)
I think reviewers seldom pay enough attention to build quality. My Droid Razr functions beautifully and its ruggedized casement and moisture resistence better assures a long life. Samsung's build seems more vulnerable by comparison.
133. mobileuser (Posts: 66; Member since: 23 Dec 2011)
I think the reviwer has done the best job here in comparing these two high end devices.The reviewer has clearly said that If razr gets ICS,it will sure be the winner. Although, some people may arguably say that Nexus is better "right at this very moment" because of ICS itself, nothing else, this situation is going to be changed in the next month or so when Razr gets ICS. The Nexus owner can only hold the crown for a month should they so wish than they will have to handover the crown to the Razr. When razr gets ICS next month or so, the nexus owner will regret why they did not choose the Razr in first hand. Nexus may arguably be the best within this month or two but in the long run into the following 2 to 3 years, Razr will surely be better than the nexus in all aspects.
134. gtrxman (Posts: 122; Member since: 10 Sep 2011)
I'm totally happy with my RAZR. I considered the Nexus, but no matter what anyone says, I just can't warm up to the plastic feel, particularly on a $300 phone. Specification-wise, I think for the benchmark phone, Google should have really raised the bar, and this Nexus, does not. The fact that the Nexus has ICS was not important to me since Moto promised that the RAZR would get ICS.
With respect to the differences between the phones, the higher resolution screen on the Nexus is nice, but for me, it doesn't offer much in the way of daily use. The screen on the RAZR is beautiful, just not as high a resolution. Who really needs 720p on a 4" screen anyway? In terms of build quality, there is simply no comparison. The RAZR is head and shoulders above the Nexus. Performance-wise, multiple reviews have shown that the RAZR has a top notch radio, typical of Moto. The Nexus is brought down by the mostly average Samsung radio. The real deciding factor, though, was the extra apps and ecosystem that Moto brought to the table. Lapdock, HD Dock, Motoprint, Motocast and Smart Actions make this phone, at least for me, the best out there.

last line says it all, if razr had ics, it would win
it doesnt so nexus wins
137. mobileuser (Posts: 66; Member since: 23 Dec 2011)
That motorola has just received "Smart phone of the year 2011" verison android central and The nexus is only the runners up.
The Raza has won Nexus even without ICS. ICS in nexus is the only area that is more superior than the Razr. Apart from that,the nexus either draws with the Razr or lags behind the Razr in most areas in terms of built quality and durability, OS performance, battery life, 4G connectivity and call quality , storage capacity as well as other practical functions like Smart actions, motocast, labdock, motoprint, etc.
Some typical examples where they are both draw are in the hardware specification such as Processor, GPU and more or less the same chip (OMAP 44300 vs OMAP 4460). The Nexus has a slightly bigger display and pixel resolution but the same pantile display which can hardly show the visible different between the two in most daily uses.
The Razr was built with premium materials such as aluminium and stainless steel as well as splash and water resistant materials which the Nexus is built from mostly plastic which is going to lose it shineness over years.
The Motorola running in th latest gingerbread 2.3.5 performs faster than ICS runnng on ICS 4.0. This includes, quardrant standard test, unoffical app. opening test, You tube load up test, netfix and flash video load up test and also browser load up test, etc. The razr performs faster in most of these functions, if not all. Although the multitasking and user interface looks very good in ICS4, the Razr has an ease-of-use User interface with 3-dimensional feel which is also amazing. It performs with no lag at all. In the end,this spoils down to personal preference rather than comparing which one is better.
Camera performance looks very much the same with the recent update from verison which fixed the shutter lag problem on the razr, but the Nesus took a video at a slower frame rate as the Razr. So razr is better in this aspect.
Call quality and earpiece volume and reception performance have been proven by user experience that the Razr is far better than the Nexus. battery life has been superior in the Razr as reported from other user experiences, so non removable battery is not a problem at all with a simple hard reset procedure in place.
The Razr has microSD card slot which can expand the available storage capacity to a total of 48GB at least, whereas Nexus only come with 32GB storage maximum.
In terms of practicality and functionality, the Nexus has NFC which the Razr does not have. However, the Razr also has exclusive functions such as Smart actions,motocast, labdock, HDMI outport for TV. All these functions do not exist in the Nexus.
Hence the razr has more advantages over nexus. It is ironic fact that as it is right now, The razr is much better phone taking into account all the above mentioned advantages even without ICS installed, not to mention after Razr received ICS and running with the basically same hardware as the Nexus.

Gee, let's just throw out random websites then: TheVerge, Anandtech, BGR, Phonearena, Engadget all endorse the Nexus over the Razr.
The Razr cannot be seriously marketed to the enthusiast crowd seeing as it is the same hardware as the Bionic wrapped into a prettier package. ICS 6 months from now? Why even bother? With a locked bootloader? Why on earth would an enthusiast pick this device?
But I guess if you are using "shininess" as a comparison factor, maybe the Razr is the right phone for you.
142. mobileuser (Posts: 66; Member since: 23 Dec 2011)
The are still many other web site out there which have endorsed the Razr is overall better than Nexus. Typical examples are pocketnow, GSMarena and Android Central. The Razr has even won the " 2011 best phone of the year" award by Android central, and the Nexus is only the runner up.- Go to adroidcentral to check it out.
Even Engaget and Anandtech have endorsed that Razr only needs ICS to get even better and phonearena here has clearly mentioned that Razr is overall winner once it has got ICS next month.
Dont forget that Motorola has publicily announced on the web site that ICS will be available for their new devices 6 weeks after Google has released the final version of ICS. So we are more than likely to see ICS released for their new devices, including the Razr of course, within January or February 2012.By that time, Nexus will have no legs up against the Razr.
Even Verizon has delayed the certification process and we get ICS after 6 months from now , the Nexus will also become obsolete by then. it will merely be a 6-month old plastic box running on ICS, same fate with the Razr, so there are no legs up against Razr. When both devices are running ICS, the Nexus will look and feel more obsolete and aging with its lousy and shineless plastic look and feel while the razr will still be able to substain its look ane durability with their metal built . The curved surface on the Nexus screen will make its look even worst after aging, just like the Nexus S. In the long one, it will be the durability and built quality factor of the devices coming into play, unless people are looking at update to an even better phone after 2 years contract with Verizon on their Nexus and upgrade to a better device like Samsung galaxy S3 or S4 or the latest Googlerola Nexus.
Lastly, procedure for rooting the Droid razr has already been released so for the modding emthasist, it is not a problem. beside, motorola is now part of Google company, it will more or less ahve advantages regarding any new roms update , so modding the device is purely not necessary at all.
145. asmallchild (Posts: 20; Member since: 01 Jan 2012)
It lacks ICS
ICS will likely not be coming until 6 months from now (keep deluding yourself it will be available next week)
Nexus devices continue to receive outstanding support from Google and will be in line for the Jellybean update
But hey, if you want to hang your hat on shininess and imaginary timely updates, more power to you
138. asmallchild (Posts: 20; Member since: 01 Jan 2012)
see anandtech's review
the razr = better clad bionic
wait 6 months for ics and its basically obsolete
plus locked bootloaded
nexus wins
143. mobileuser (Posts: 66; Member since: 23 Dec 2011)
Nexus will also become obsolete after 6 months, it is merely a large plastic box running on ICS, nothing superficial., therefore, no legs up against razr. The curved surface and plastic look and feeling will make it look more aging than a Razr after 6 months while razr still remain its shininess on the look because of the metal body construction.
Modding is purely not necessy for me at all with both phones running ICS on basically the same hardware and software,and procedure for rooting is already availble for rooting and unlocking the boot loader of the razr, should the modding community want to do it.
therefore razr wins.
144. asmallchild (Posts: 20; Member since: 01 Jan 2012)
still going with shininess huh? you ought to stick with a razr then, clearly not an advanced user
you do realize nexus devices are the first to receive all updates? enjoy the lag in your updates
you do realize the razr still has a locked bootloader? even the rezound has a headsup on you
but yeah, keep touting the shininess, it should make you feel better about your purchass
148. mobileuser (Posts: 66; Member since: 23 Dec 2011)
If you feel that update and rooting to a phone are more important to you than the built quality and durability, than go ahead to get the Nexus, no problem.
I paid $299 dollars for a phone I want it to last longer than 2 years. I will not do rooting as I dont want to void the warranty, so bootloader is not something I will consider. Also, paying $299 to get a piece of plastic phone like Nexus , even for 2 years is simply not that convincing to me. Value for money, Got it? I enjoy my new razr and have no regrets. It works just so well now that I really dont care when I can update to ICS in the near future as i will get it anyway. I am just a normal user.
Did you know that Google has purchased motorola mobility? What does that mean? That means Motorola will have the advantage of releasing updates as quick as google if not the quickest. But it will be at least faster than other manufacturer.Unless, verizon has hindered the certification process which I agree may happen, but it would not take up to 6 months for sure becasue of the google acquisition .
Do you realise that if you phone quality is not durable, it will not last long? It does not matter how fast you can get updates and how good you can root it, if it gest damage or broken or spilled by water, and it does not cover by warranty, then it is a lost in the end. Again, value for money. Right?
In the end, I am just using the word "shininess" to amplify the importance of the built quality and durabity of a phone rather than updates or rooting. nothing else.unless people are ready to change phone every 2 years.
Just my opinions! Got it?
Enjoy your Nexus, cheers!

"The unfortunate reality is that the RAZR released at quite possibly the worst moment in the Android release schedule. It's difficult to sell the enthusiast crowd on the same hardware platform in another physical package, and at the same time running a version of Android that's behind a handset whose release is imminent. The latest crop of Motorola phones will get their well-deserved Android 4.0 upgrade, but 6 months is admittedly a long time to wait and having a locked bootloader makes sidestepping the carrier and OEM testing period overhead impossible as well."
Anandtech nails it on the head.
156. mobileuser (Posts: 66; Member since: 23 Dec 2011)
The razr indeed came with an unlocked loader, go to look at the internatioanl GSM version, they all ahve the unloaded bootloader enable so that people can inport customised ICS rom into the Razr before the actual offical is released.
It is only that the verizon has opted to locked the phone, that will have no affect to the world wide competition between the Nexus and the razr.
155. mobileuser (Posts: 66; Member since: 23 Dec 2011)
The motorola will receive update as quick as Nexus because it is a Google's company now.
Let the future prove that.
Do you know that Razr is the first phone from motorola taht came with an unlocked bootloader, do your home work before you write. It is only verizon which has made the bootloader locked, not motorola. All international version have the bootloader unlocked.Therefore, all Razr other than those sold by Verizon (which is only a small proportion) can get ICS 4 rom or any subsequent updated loaded into the razr.
So even on these two points regarding update and unlockbootloader, Nexus still have no advantage over the razr, not to mention about the overall general physical package which is truely inferior than the razr.
162. mobileuser (Posts: 66; Member since: 23 Dec 2011)
Do u realise that Nexus running ICS got more constantly random reboot issues than the razr?
Do u know that all international versions of razr has the bootloader unknocked?
The fact that Razr gets ICS at a later date certainly has advantages as it will allow Google to come up with the solution to fix the constantly random reboot problem before it is updated to tehrazr and any other smart phones eligble for teh updates.
139. BattleBrat (Posts: 1458; Member since: 26 Oct 2011)
I should also mention (and I feel this has been overlooked) The RAZR has Bluetooth 4.0, just like the iPhone, which if memory serves gives you like 300ft of Bluetooth range, and cuts sync time down to nothing. The Nexus has Bluetooth 3.0
140. presoct (Posts: 1; Member since: 02 Jan 2012)
I have and use over 3,000 contacts. Anyone have an opinion about which of these phones handles that many best? And which searches them most effectively and quickly?
Also, i find the Android calendar awkward to search. Any suggestions there?
146. mobileuser (Posts: 66; Member since: 23 Dec 2011)
I guess the battle between the Razr and the Nexus merely spoils down to the ICS OS software, not the actual hardware device itself because it is almost certain that if the Nexus comes running with gingerbread 2.3.5, it would surely be losing the battle to the razr immediately. Now, it all depends on whether people out there want the new ICS 4 (still with bugs) right at this very moment or whether they can wait one to 2 months to get a bug fixed ICS. It is all up to the phone users out there to pick.
In my opinion,the bottom line is that none of these two phones are truely invincible. They will both become obsolete after 8 months even running on ICS and will be easily outplaced by any subsequent android devices in the market by then. It is a matter of how long you can live with your Nexus or Razr and how long you want to keep them. if people only want to keep the phone for 2 years only and upgrade to a more power device after teh contract ends, than durability or built quality is not of a concern at all and Nexus will surely be the right choice. if someone wants to keep the phone for more than the 2 year contract, then the razr with its more durable, classy and metal construction will surely be the better one to pick.
147. asmallchild (Posts: 20; Member since: 01 Jan 2012)
2 months? try closer to 6
razr = fantastic hardware limited by no ICS
no thanks
150. mobileuser (Posts: 66; Member since: 23 Dec 2011)
Well, let look at the reality in the coming months to see how much the Galaxy Nexus can outsell the Razr.
If people cannot wait and feel that ICS is an absolutely must have right now and can afford to upgrade their device every
2 years, then go ahead with the Nexus, no problem.
To me, Razr is such a fantastic device, althought lack ICS at this very moment, it does not bother me at all as it already runs so good. After upgrading to ICS within the next few months, I can have this fantastic device to run for at least a few more years to come before my next upgrade.
151. jinwons (Posts: 95; Member since: 24 Nov 2010)
Seems like you are married to Razr. Lol.
Even in hardwares, hard to say it's better than Nexus. HD > qHD, OMAP 4460 > OMAP 4430 with no room for OC.
And at the rate Moto is churning out phones every two months, Razr will be quickly obsolete by the time it gets ICS. Nexus will be obsolete in hardware too, but it will receive the latest Androids long after all other current devices stop getting updated.
152. asmallchild (Posts: 20; Member since: 01 Jan 2012)
Razr MAXX is en route
I see bitterness in his future ha
163. mobileuser (Posts: 66; Member since: 23 Dec 2011)
Nexus = getting constantly random reboot many times with no reasons and patterns and without any solution.
razr= getting the latest ICS with no randomly reboot issue.
nexus, no thnaks. Too much headage.
153. mobileuser (Posts: 66; Member since: 23 Dec 2011)
Actually Razr is the very first phone which has been included a fully implemented lock/unlock bootloader software from Motorola. However, it is Verizon network here in the U.S. which opt. to disable the bootloader unlock option. I don't know why Versizon has opted to do this on their flagship device Razr but not on the Galaxy Nexus. The international version of Razr sold in Australia and other parts of the world all came with the lock/unlock bootloader software . So the enthasiast crowd in other part of the world will now be able to load the ICS custom ROM into their Razr as soon as it becomes available should they so wish rather than have to wait for 2 to 6 months here as other people mentioned. While the razr may be loosing its sales to the Nexus here in the US, It will certainly be able to compete very well with the Nexus if it is priced right
as it has no more restriction from the ICS update anymore.
157. Jarahawk (Posts: 43; Member since: 04 Dec 2011)
"I do miss how the Razr worked so much better"
Sounds like the Razr wins to me.
161. mobileuser (Posts: 66; Member since: 23 Dec 2011)
Now with so many user complaints and reports regarding the constantly random reboot issues out of unknown reason for the Verizon Galaxy Nexus after such a short launging period onto the market, I will be surprised to see people still insist on to say that G nexus is still better than the Razr or the Razrmaxx.
164. AlphaRider (Posts: 2; Member since: 30 Mar 2012)
This phone cannot even last for 4 hours on original battery! I can't even consider the original battery to be a viable option for use. Perhaps update 4.0.4 can address this issue but highly doubt it
End up I have to to use an extended battery to lengthen the power life of this phone. So far the Qcell extended battery last me through a day which is an acceptable usage for me

A few weeks ago, I worked on this dining set for a client, and thought I'd show you my results. It's such a dramatic difference, without a whole lot of paint. It's a great example of working with what you've got.
Here is a "before" shot of the table:
It was all very dark, heavy wood. I painted just the bottom of the table, and all of the chairs except for the seats... look at what a difference it made:
The lighter paint gives a much different feel... less serious... more comfortable...
I did pretty heavy distressing... Distressing is a great option for families with children!

Here painting the legs of the table and chair white made sense as their lines are shapely and strong. The details of the carvings come through so much more and moreover, the white accentuates the beauty of the natural wood. Brava!

The backlash against Penn State's hiring of Bill O'Brien is, ironically, the most compelling argument in favor of the decision to replace Joe Paterno with an outsider.
To wail about the search process or its outcome or some perceived injustice to interim coach Tom Bradley and his staff is to admit that you just don't get it. That applies to current underclassmen and longtime boosters and all-time great ex-players such as LaVar Arrington, whose public comments are stunning in their willful ignorance and tone-deafness.

FeaturesTo meet user demands for a fast EF-S zoom lens, Canon has specially designed a new lens with a large aperture of f/2.8 for select Canon Digital SLR cameras. The large circular aperture produces a shallow depth-of-field, creating background blur that draws attention to the photographic subject. The lens construction includes UD and aspherical elements, which deliver impressive image quality throughout the entire zoom range. Image Stabilizer lens groups shift to compensate for camera movement so that the image appears steady on the image plane, ensuring clear, crisp images, even in dim light. With a Ring-type USM, inner focusing and new AF algorithms, this lens achieves autofocus quickly and quietly, and with full-time mechanical manual focusing, manually adjusting the focus is possible even in AF mode.
Professional photographers and advanced amateurs with APS-C size digital SLRs now have access to the fastest Canon EF-S zoom lens yet. Three-stop optical image stabilization along with three aspherical and two UD elements combine to make this new lens a must have item for owners of the EOS Digital SLRs.
With an effective focal length range of approximately 27-88mm (35 mm equivalent), the EF-S 17-55mm f/2.8 IS USM is a powerful lens that delivers remarkable image quality. The wide angle zoom allows you to capture more of every scene and add a new sense of space and perspective to your photography.
The large f/2.8 aperture provides excellent results in low light conditions. The aperture remains constant through the full focal length range, allowing you to zoom from approximately 27-88mm (35 mm equivalent) without slowing shutter speed.

Like a seasoned politician, Shannon Brown reacted admirably to the one-day notice she inherited when she agreed to prepare a campaign for 2014 honorary mayor of SouthShore.
New SouthShore Chamber of Commerce president Carrie Elwell, who also happens to be Brown's boss as co-owner of Kids R Kids learning center in Gibsonton where Brown has been the school's assistant director for the past 4 ½ years, persuaded Brown to run after hearing her story.
The next day, Brown found herself standing in front of community and chamber members at the Ruskin Moose Lodge, pitching her platform with a personal touch.
Brown's drive came from her late husband, Aaron Ziemba, who in 2011 died from brain cancer at 34, just 58 days after they wed in Ruskin. Ziemba was an athletic trainer who believed in supporting and nurturing young athletes, especially those who were economically disadvantaged.
"He would always come home with cleats or tennis shoes for kids in need," said Brown, 27, who met Ziemba when they both lived in Michigan.
The emotional plea resulted in victory for Brown's philanthropic cause, Refuse to Lose, and for SouthShore, which designated her the second honorary mayor after her monthlong charity drive brought in more than $7,000.
"Shannon entered the honorary mayor's race with so much passion for her cause," said Melanie Morrison, SouthShore Chamber of Commerce executive director. "She brought attention to the fact that there are local students who would excel in sports but due to financial restrictions at home, they are unable to participate.
"Our members were very happy to support her cause, knowing that there will be local students who will have an entirely different high school experience as well as outcome because of their participation."
Brown will team with the South Shore Anglers club to stage a charity fishing tournament March 15 in her first act as the new goodwill ambassador to the SouthShore community. She chose fishing because it was one of her husband's passions and the money raised will benefit the local Buddy Ball organization, a nonprofit for kids with special needs who want to play sports.
In 2007, Ziemba moved to Florida to work for Florida Orthopaedic Institute in Brandon as well as the Chamberlain High School football team. He spent the previous 10 years as an athletic trainer in Muskegon, Mich., working at Hackley Hospital and Reeths-Puffer High School.
Two years later, Ziemba was diagnosed with brain cancer. After becoming paralyzed in his right arm and leg, he continued to volunteer his services for Armwood's football team.
"As an outsider looking in, I never knew how much of a family they create with their team," Brown said. "What he did for those kids was amazing."
To emphasize her point about young athletes and the bond they create playing a team sport, Brown said more than 200 kids stood up at the funeral service to honor a man who touched their lives.
Brown said she was able to advance her ideas through spaghetti dinners, raffles, family fun nights and serving more than 300 families at her school.
"These people don't know me," Brown said. "I have a big fan base at Kids R Kids. My passion is for children."
Brown recently presented Lennard High School and East Bay High School each with $1,700 checks earmarked for athletics, specifically to provide students in need with equipment. To help the Refuse to Lose fund or to participate in next month's fishing tournament, email her at email@example.com.

Making It in IT: A Short Upgrade Path to MCSA Windows Server 2012
For IT pros who already hold Microsoft certifications on Windows Server 2008 or various related platforms, there's a single-exam upgrade path to the MCSA (Microsoft Certified Solutions Associate): Windows Server 2012.
Because this credential is a key stepping stone to the new MCSE credentials for Windows Server and Desktop Infrastructures, and Private Cloud, this shortcut may prove valuable to interested (and qualified) IT professionals.
On September 17, 2012, the MCSA: Windows Server 2012 credential went live. Ordinarily, candidates for this new Microsoft credential must take and pass three Windows 2012 exams – namely:
- Exam 70-410: Installing and Configuring Windows Server 2012
- Exam 70-411: Administering Windows Server 2012
- Exam 70-412: Configuring Advanced Windows Server 2012 Services
At $150 a pop in the USA (and similar prices elsewhere, either in US dollars or local currency), plus the cost of prep materials – usually including a full-length study guide, an Exam Cram, and one or more practice tests – total outlays for this cert can easily top $900, not including time spent studying and travel costs to/from a local or accessible Prometric testing center. That's a fair amount of time and money to climb the first rung on the new and re-minted Microsoft certification ladder.
But for IT pros who already hold certain credentials, there's a quicker and easier way to earn the MSCA: Windows Server 2012. Individuals who hold one or more of the following credentials need only to take Exam 70-417: Upgrading Your Skills to MCSA Windows Server 2012 to earn this credential:
- MCSA: Windows Server 2008
- MCITP: Virtualization Administrator
- MCITP: Enterprise Messaging Administrator
- MCITP: Lync Server Administrator
- MCITP: SharePoint Administrator
- MCITP: Enterprise Desktop Administrator
With all of the aforementioned MCITP credentials scheduled for retirement on July 31, 2013, I'm guessing that the MCSA: Windows Server 2008 won't be too far behind. Thus, this upgrade path makes great financial and technical sense for those seeking to extend their skills and knowledge, and extract as much value as they can from their current MS certifications.
If you qualify for this upgrade, it makes too much sense not to take advantage of it – and if you do, be sure to follow the Second Shot instructions when you call Prometric to register for your exam or visit the Web site to purchase an exam voucher. That way, if you don't pass the exam on your first try, you'll be able to re-take that exam at no additional charge, as long as you do so before May 31, 2013 (or December 31, 2013 if you go whole hog and sign up for a follow-on MCSE "certification exam pack").
This is too good a deal to pass up, so if you qualify be sure to sign up for the exam as soon as you can. Normally, MS upgrade exam coverage only lasts for about a year after a product becomes generally available. Because Windows Server 2012 hit GA status on September 4, 2012, the clock's already ticking on this one-exam upgrade to MCSA: Windows Server 2012.

Featured Golf News
USGA Honors Nicklaus
In celebration of his 50-plus-year career and contributions to the game as a champion, course designer, philanthropist and ambassador, Jack Nicklaus was honored Wednesday by the United States Golf Association (USGA) with a series of public acknowledgments on a scale befitting his impressive accomplishments and enduring connection to the U.S. Open, which starts Thursday.
These acknowledgments, which were announced on the eve of the 112th U.S. Open at the Olympic Club in San Francisco, include: dedicating the gold medal presented each year to the U.S. Open champion in Jack's honor; announcing plans to expand the USGA Museum with a new Jack Nicklaus Room dedicated to his USGA championships and career; and debuting Sunday, June 17, on NBC, a new documentary film that celebrates the 50th anniversary of Jack's 1962 U.S. Open victory, his first professional major championship, which marked the era of the "Golden Bear."
"These are honors that truly challenge you to put words with, because of how humbling and meaningful they are," Nicklaus said. "I have always held the USGA and their championships in the highest regard. They are the caretakers of our game. In addition, I have always loved USGA championships. I have played in a total of 71, and since I was a 13-year-old junior, they have always been the ultimate and complete examinations of a golfer.
"While every major championship is meaningful and memorable, I have always considered the U.S. Open the most important major championship to me," added Nicklaus. "The U.S. Open represents our national championship and because I am an American, there is a special connection to that major and an enormous sense of satisfaction when fortunate to win it. With the dedication of this medal, and to be associated with this great championship going forward, is among the most special recognitions I have ever received."
"Jack Nicklaus is one of the most compelling sports figures of the last 50 years, and the USGA is delighted to honor him in these ways," said USGA President Glen D. Nager. "From the newly named Jack Nicklaus Medal, to our plans to dedicate a Jack Nicklaus Room to the new documentary film that celebrates Jack's first major, these public acknowledgments represent a fitting capstone to Jack's USGA legacy and a fitting way to recognize the breadth of his accomplishments and contributions to the game of golf."
Dedicating the Nicklaus Medal
The USGA announced that the medal presented each year to the winner of the U.S. Open has been renamed in Nicklaus' honor and redesigned with his image. The gold medal, which has not had a formal name and whose design has evolved over time, dates to the first U.S. Open in 1895, when Horace Rawlins received the prize, and has been given to every U.S. Open champion since.
Beginning with the 2012 U.S. Open, each champion will receive the newly named Jack Nicklaus Medal, which incorporates a silhouette of the four-time U.S. Open champion in its design. "As we continue to crown future great U.S. Open champions, they will be forever linked to Jack Nicklaus and his remarkable U.S. Open record," added Nager.
Nicklaus is among the greatest U.S. Open champions in history, with a record-tying four victories, and has been inextricably linked with the USGA. In addition to his four U.S. Open wins, he has four runner-up finishes, a record-tying 11 top-five finishes and a record 18 top-10 finishes. Nicklaus was 17 years old when he played in his first U.S. Open, in 1957, and age 60 when he played in his last, in 2000. His 44 U.S. Open starts, made consecutively, is a record.
Nicklaus's relationship with the USGA began at age 13, when he played in his first USGA championship, the 1953 U.S. Junior Amateur. Nicklaus went on to win eight USGA championships, victories that spanned five decades, from the 1959 U.S. Amateur to the 1993 U.S. Senior Open. Nicklaus also played on two winning USA Walker Cup Teams in 1959 and 1961, and led the USA to a World Amateur Team Championship win in 1960.
In addition to four U.S. Open titles, Nicklaus captured six Masters, five PGA Championships and three Open Championship victories for a total of 18 professional major championships, the most of any player in the game's history. He has 73 PGA Tour victories and 120 professional wins around the world.
Building a Nicklaus Exhibition Gallery
Since few people have added more to the history of the game than Nicklaus, the USGA also announced plans to expand the USGA Museum with construction of a new exhibition gallery - The Jack Nicklaus Room - that will highlight his iconic performances in USGA championships, as well as his storied career in the game.
The 24-month expansion project, which could break ground as early as summer 2013 and open in spring 2015, will add more than 1,000 square feet of exhibition space to the USGA Museum, while maintaining the exterior and interior architectural character of the historic John Russell Pope building that today anchors the USGA campus in Far Hills, N.J.
Through artifacts, multi-media imagery and words, the exhibition will celebrate Nicklaus's career, primarily through the lens of his four U.S. Open victories in 1962, 1967, 1972 and 1980, as well as his play in USGA championships over five decades.
Other areas of the new exhibition gallery will feature the story of Jack's career in the major championships, overall PGA Tour career and prolific course-design career, with his most significant courses profiled, allowing visitors to explore the relationship between his personal design philosophies and the course-set-up philosophy for the U.S. Open Championship, where Jack achieved such remarkable success.
The displays throughout the gallery will also touch other aspects of his playing career, as well as aspects of his personal and professional life that have been important to his success both on and off the course. These elements will include the Nicklaus family, Jack's many honors and awards, his business ventures, and special friends, colleagues and partners.
A virtual, web-based visitor experience will also be developed for the USGA Museum's website to share the content of the Nicklaus Room with a global audience.
"The planned Jack Nicklaus Room will help to expand our mission to preserve and celebrate golf history, and it will serve as a fitting home for Jack's enduring legacy," said USGA Executive Director Mike Davis. "We're proud to include his unmatched career in an expanded USGA Museum, a place that truly honors the greatest U.S. champions in the game's history."
Debuting "1962 U.S. Open: Jack's First Major"
The USGA's recognition of Jack Nicklaus' career will also be celebrated on the small screen. On Sunday, June 17, at 2 p.m. EDT on NBC, prior to live final-round coverage of the 112th U.S. Open, the USGA will debut "1962 U.S. Open: Jack's First Major," the association's first-ever documentary film produced for network television. The one-hour program chronicles Nicklaus' first U.S. Open victory in 1962 at Oakmont Country Club, which set in motion one of the most prolific careers in professional golf and at the same time ignited one of the greatest rivalries in sport, between Nicklaus and Arnold Palmer.
"1962 U.S. Open: Jack's First Major" is a USGA film produced in collaboration with the USGA Museum and Ross Greenburg Productions, and features archival footage of the 1962 U.S. Open from the Museum's own collection, and other archival material from Oakmont Country Club, the Jack Nicklaus Museum, Augusta National Golf Club and The R&A, as well as newsreels of the day. The film also includes fresh interviews with Nicklaus, Palmer and other luminaries from golf and journalism to tell the complete story of the 1962 U.S. Open Championship, from the opening round through the dramatic 18-hole playoff, covering events both on and off the course.
A preview trailer of the documentary film is available at www.usga.org/62usopenfilm.
Narrated by Emmy Award-winning actor Peter Coyote, who has lent his rich voice to more than 120 films and documentaries, "1962 U.S. Open: Jack's First Major" culminates in a retelling of the final rounds of the 1962 U.S. Open and Sunday's dramatic 18-hole playoff, exploring the emotions of Nicklaus, the undaunted young champion, and Palmer, the hometown favorite. The film closes with reflections from Nicklaus on what the victory meant to him then and now, and how it set the tone for an unrivaled career.
"Based on his overall career performance, Jack Nicklaus is arguably the greatest U.S. Open player of all time, and we're thrilled to tell the story of his win at the 1962 U.S. Open through this new film," said Robert Williams, director of the USGA Museum. "This film masterfully tells the story of the turning point in Nicklaus' career, from successful amateur and collegiate player to U.S. Open champion, which set into motion a major-championship record that has remained unmatched for 50 golden years."
The film's high-profile list of interviewees also includes former USGA champions Gary Player, Deane Beman and Billy Maxwell, all of whom played in the 1962 U.S. Open with Nicklaus; golf journalists Dave Anderson and Marino Parascenzo, who covered the 1962 U.S. Open; USGA Executive Director Mike Davis and Rand Jerris, the USGA's senior managing director for Public Affairs and noted golf historian.
Sponsorship and support for the USGA film has been generously provided by the Royal Bank of Scotland (RBS), a longtime supporter of Nicklaus and the United States Golf Association. As an RBS ambassador, Nicklaus represents RBS in business as well as growth-of-the-game initiatives across the globe.

It is a strange thing being Manchester United in the FA Cup nowadays. If you win, you lose, if you lose it's a disaster but if you do enough to progress - then that's even worse. It is a clear sign that the Empire is crumbling.
The winner was the kind of goal everybody who has seen a football dreams about scoring. I remember commentary on an old United game from the sixties after Bobby Charlton had netted one of his belters. The man with the mic said something along the lines of, "That goal was good enough to win the league, the cup, the Open, even the Grand National". Similarly, Rooney's goal was worthy of winning any game, any contest in any sport. He's back baby.
Thank God that's out of the way then. United are now defeated this season but that's no reason to predict we're about experience any kind of Old Testament horrors. A look at the league table shows all is well, but it is time to face a few home truths. Our results over the last month have been a lot more flattering than our team's beauty.
Although not a great film The Expendables was a terrific concept. Lump together all of the action stars from yesteryear and surround them with some new explosions. As February begins, it looks like Alex Ferguson's Manchester United and Arsene Wenger's Arsenal will contest the title this year. There is nothing like a good old-fashioned feud to get the juices flowing.

Football supremo to head Jewish Leadership Council
Simon Johnson, who led England's bid for the 2018 World Cup, has been appointed as interim chief executive of the Jewish Leadership Council.
He takes over the reins from Jeremy Newmark, who stepped down as chief executive last month on health grounds.
Mr Johnson's previous positions include director of rights and business affairs at ITV, director of legal and business affairs at the Premier League and director of corporate affairs at the Football Association.
In 2008, he was made chief operating officer of the company that bid for the World Cup.
More recently, he has worked as a business and sports consultant, with the Rugby Football Union among his clients.
The chairman of one of the United Synagogue's largest communities, Hampstead Garden Suburb, he serves on the US council and headed a consultation on the Chief Rabbinate for the US prior to the appointment of Rabbi Ephraim Mirvis.
Mick Davis, JLC chairman said, "Simon has a wealth of experience in running organisations and with the range of issues that the JLC is currently engaged with it is important that we have someone with Simon's experience leading the team."
Mr Johnson, 47, who starts work on Monday, said he was "very pleased to be joining the JLC at this exciting time and with so many important projects and initiatives underway. I am greatly looking forward to joining the team."
Mr Newmark will continue to advise the JLC as a consultant.

Research Clusters
F_RMlab graduate research is organized around three specialized streams: interactive architecture, distributed information systems, and smart materials research, addressing key aspects of advanced computation in architectural design that contribute to a rapidly emerging field of dynamic, responsive architectures. Each research cluster consists of 3-4 grad students dedicated to developing expertise in their specialization, both collectively, through project-based collaborations, and within their individual thesis research. Research clusters operate both as a vehicle for academic growth, and as a means of attracting collaborations with faculty research or potential partnerships within the industry. Research from each cluster may be disseminated at relevant conferences and public exhibitions.
Interactive Architecture
The interactive architecture cluster investigates the development and implementation of intelligent and responsive technologies within the built environment, with a vision of integrating computational power to design buildings and spaces for better environmental performance and greater engagement with human occupants. Research pursuits include the development of passive, self-adapting facade systems for high-rise typology, and the way subtle environmental phenomena can be captured, processed and manifested through physical computation.
Distributed Information Systems
The information research cluster investigates design approaches where the digitalization, analysis and processing of environmental and social data can inform the design of intelligent urban spaces and landscapes. The information cluster is investigating GIS data collection, processing and integration, with ArcGIS and Rhino 3D for the planning and design of low-income rural communities; and scripting form-finding studies through environmental simulation with Autodesk's Ecotect and DesignScript programs.
Smart Materials Research
The materials research cluster investigates architecture as a material system with structural, formal and behavioural properties. This cluster looks at methodologies of performative integration using current computation and digital fabrication tools. This cluster has developed digital fabrication techniques to generate ice sculptures for Archiglace/Inclusions exhibit in Quebec City. Other research pursuits involve developing synthetic biomaterials for environmental remediation, and the parametric design of timber structures through generative scripting and physical prototyping for improved material performance.

Beach Book Of The Week
Poet and academic Kate Tateman is happily single until she goes for inoculations before heading to India to teach. She falls in love with Matt, the doctor who administers the shots, and quickly the heroine of Phillips's linguistically beautiful new novel finds herself catapulted into the sandwich generation: She and Matt have a baby (before his divorce is final), and Kate's terminally ill mother, Katherine, comes to live with them. Kate also has to cope with Sam and Jonah, Matt's two unruly little boys.
Best known for her novels (Machine Dreams and Shelter), Phillips's early experience as a poet is apparent throughout MotherKind, but especially so in this description of Kate's sensations as she looks around at her backyard wedding celebration: "Music, running trills of sound. Slow pointillist colors. White balloons drifting in bunches, nodding over their tethers."
Phillips allows readers to become privy to Kate's thoughts and feelings as she assumes her new roles. Although Matt seems to have only a supporting role—a small flaw in this deeply felt story—the author's moving yet unidealized portrayal of Kate bonding with her baby as Katherine slips away from life is rendered with an affecting delicacy. (Knopf, $24)
Bottom Line: Beautifully realized domestic drama

Second quarter could show the first year on year decline in Apple iPad sales
0. phoneArena 25 May 2013, 08:18 posted on
After almost three years of dominating the tablet industry, the Apple iPad has seen its hold on the market start to crack; according to KGI analyst Ming-Chi Kuo, shipments of Apple's slate may show a year-over-year decline for the current quarter. This has never happened before to the iPad and Kuo expects to see a sequential decline in shipments from the first quarter as well...

No, I actually didn't read any of that. I do however have a good hearty chuckle every time you have a meltdown and spend 3 hours writing out a wall of text full of spelling and grammatical errors that no one is going to read.
Now be a good meathead and go find something heavy to lift.

Nope you read it LMAOOOOO. Now be MY good obedient puppy troll, and think of a good comment for this. Run along now boy.
84. Droiddoes (unregistered)
LOL no I really didn't. I never read your wall o' text meltdowns, just laugh at the fact you take it so seriously and I got you THAT riled up. Not that there's any real difficulty in manipulating a meathead.

90. Droiddoes (unregistered)
I really did not, I assure you. Are we just going to do "I know you are but what am I" all day? I get that that's probably your trump card and the absolute extent of you debate skills, but come on try and use your brain for something other than "gee can I lift this?" Welp, always a pleasure, see you next time you want to pick a fight and make a complete ass of yourself.
And I'm still not your bro.

Wasn't replying to you (at least I don't think so) those are cool but isn't everyone turning those off because of battery drain, lag and inconsistency? The only one I like is the direct call.
42. tedkord (Posts: 11736; Member since: 17 Jun 2009)
I've had no issues with any on my GS3. All work perfectly, no lag or noticeable battery drain. I read lots of long, text heavy pages, and not having the screen time out while I'm reading is invaluable.

IPad mini and other good tablets out there. Simple.
Seriously.....I wouldnt have even attempted the iPad mini unless I was prepared to lose sales of the bigger iPad. This makes about a handful of predictions that ppl inside and outside Apple got wrong:
No ones going to buy a big phone....boy was Jobs wrong on that one.....
7" tablets are DOA....see above....
The iPad mini wont cannibalize sales from the bigger iPad. Analysts picking up where Jobs left off with the predictions.... different ppl, same results....

LOL. Good to see people wising up and not supporting apples strategy of "let's sell them pretty much the exact same thing year after year". They'll either have to adapt or die, or hey they can always sue someone.

I'm an Apple critic. Not the most vocal one and not a hater. That being said I'll offer these "easy" recommendations for Apple to remedy their upcoming iPads' challenge:-
1. Everyone including this side of Android here knew too well that the iPad Mini was risky to the og iPad itself. 1st time it came out I was a bit shocked that the iPad 4th gen despite getting the REAL innovation in; A6X SoC got relegated 2nd to the Mini's PR and marketing just for the sake of pushing it. Even more pronounced were the 128Gb ver "ninja intro" right after probably someone got the Surface Pro jitters. So to start with; kill off both the Wi-Fi/Wi-Fi+cell 16Gb iPads and rethink the RRPs all the way to the 128Gb models. x86-64 are getting better too what w/ the upcoming Intel Haswell, Silvermont and AMD Temash, Kabini more efficient SoCs. Real rivals w/ seriously growing muscles are coming and they're not just Win 8 or RT ones. Android can run on those too.
2. Sooner rather than later I don't see how Android 7"s can't or won't keep up to the iPad Mini. I don't even like say a Nexus 7 (more of a nex10 man) but don't deny it look at its success. And then there's the non-Nexus alternatives such as Samsung, Acer, Asus and hell even some quality Chinese OEMs are putting out nex7's killers as we speak.
3. iOS 7 needs to be more than just black, white and flat. How about just letting in some more customization options for the users? That's all and call that a day?

I agree with most of what you said, but would add devote more resources to advancing your products, and less to suing everyone over stupid things.

The Town and the City traces the fortunes of the Martin family from 1935 to 1946, a period spanning the thirties depression, World War Two and its immediate aftermath. The Martin family is large: the father and mother (George and Marguerite) have eight children. In 1935 the eldest, Rose, is 21, Ruth is 18, Joe 17, Francis 15 (his twin, Julian, died when still "little"), Peter 13, Elizabeth 12, Charley 9 and Mickey 6. By the end of the novel these children are slightly over ten years older, except Charley (killed in Okinawa during World War Two), and are gathered together to bury George. The novel's focus falls on just three of the children, Joe, Francis, and especially Peter. The fortunes of the mother and father are also …
