    2012: Year of the [insert tablet here]?!?

    As much as I want an Android tablet for myself, I'm noticing that it's not something I've got to have.  I'm ok with waiting for something that's a gotta-have tablet.  If that wait is 6+ months away, I may not be able to wait and just get what's available at that time.

    Hungergames ebooks for cheap at kobo $0.83

    Thanks for this.  My wife just finished reading the 2nd book last night and was dying to start the third.  She had borrowed the hardcovers from her brother for the first two and was contemplating buying the third (brother is 7 hours away) as physical book or go ebook.  Took a bit of work, but...

    2012: Year of the [insert tablet here]?!?

    Wow, hopefully it's a software/firmware fix and not a permanent hardware issue.  Charging after reaching 100% shouldn't harm the battery.  It's supposed to stop charging when it's fully charged.  Otherwise, there'd be serious heat and possible explosion issues.

    Mobile Nations - Android, iOS, BlackBerry, Windows Phone, WebOS, etc...

    I'd rather no company has private information on me, but that's not something I can control.  I'm online for work, friends, family, play, etc.... it's impossible to not be "monitored" if you don't live in some remote part of the planet and have Internet access.

    Just got my first email acct hacked...

    I forgot to mention that legitimate sites get infected and hacked too.  Don't think a site is safe because they're well known...

    Yeah, that's way overpriced.  March will be ending and still no official announcement of any Android tablet that I want buy.

    Hey RC, what was your previous Android phone?  I just got an HTC Sensation (about a yr old model).  I've flashed it with a custom ICS 4.0.3 rom (VI 4.0) and this thing is super smooth and responsive.  I then flashed my previous phone, Samsung Exhibit II 4G, with a custom rom also running GB. ...

    Most people I know with tablets keep them in some type of case.  So with this additional 10 degrees, these things are going to cook during the summer outside.  Heat is evil to electronic devices.  Wonder what we'll see of this.

    Just got my first email acct hacked...

    Great info icey. To add, be careful of fakeAV.  Those are basically popups from some sites that you visit.  They make them look like security warnings that you'd get from your anti-virus program.  The problem is that when you click to "clean" the fake infection, you're actually downloading...

    Tech @ Work

    I have dual displays at work.  Can't imagine not having that.  I telecommute one day a week and it's hard to live off the laptop display.  At some point, I'll probably just pony up to get an external display for home.

    Special websites & discount codes for GE and Whirlpool/Maytag/etc appliances

    We were just saying that we needed a new fridge.  Any recommendations on which model?  We'd like capacity to be 25+, french door, freezer on bottom and ice/water dispenser.  We were thinking of heading to Sears outlet and Pacific Sales to check some models out.  So if we find a model from these...

    I'm sure they produce as much and as quickly as they can.  They have Foxconn running 24/7 when they start producing them.  They can only make so many before release.

    Language question

    I knew two languages up until around 6 and a half years of age.  Then, we immigrated to the US and all I knew flew out the window.  I learned English really fast and my parents learned it too and spoke to us in that at home.  I do wish that they spoke to us in our native language more as we were...

    I hope the next few months will bring great new Android tablets that exceeds expectations, instead of being huge let downs like the Transformer Prime.

    Any tips for my New Home Walk Through today?

    I'd definitely be as nit picky as you can.  No need to be nice when you are forking over that much money.

    Are there local pocket parks nearby?  They usually take their kids out there, no?

    They'll probably just talk about Angry Birds Space for the Note.
