    Future Tech

    That's crazy.  I wonder if those little things actually have sensors to detect their environment to fly around or if they were just programmed to fly a certain pattern.

    Tech @ Work

    I had to make myself stop getting on the computer when I get home so that I could spend as much time with my kids as possible before they sleep.

    Tech @ Work

    I can understand taking advantage of technology.  I love tech too.  But could you handle shutting off and go for a camping trip?  and not constantly keep checking your phone if you have service?

    I really hate hearing about the human costs for products.  But, it's always about the bottom line.  Until these human costs affect product purchases enough, there will be little to no change.

    Need some help with tech stuff..

    Honestly, I'm still reluctant about cloud storage.  It's much faster than it used to be, but still not equivalent in speed to local storage.  Moving hundreds of megs or gigs to me isn't practical on cloud.  I'm also very unsure about the whole "who owns the data" issue when stored on others'...

    Need some help with tech stuff..

    I don't have a Mac laptop/desktop nor an iPad.  I don't have any iDevice so can't really help you.  If you're able to put point iTunes to use another storage location and you put it on an external HDD, I would think that makes your laptop not so mobile for iTunes.  You'd have to lug that thing...

    Mobile Phone Poll for RoundCorners

    My Android phone isn't beefy enough to play the more complicated games well.  Games like Jelly Defense started to really lag my phone when it got to the mid levels.  I've played games on my wifes Galaxy S2, but that's not practical.  Can't keep pulling her phone to play games on.  Don't have a...

    New Car

    Minivans are great.  Especially if you make multiple 7+ hour drives per year.... with three car seats... and carrying associated cihlds' needs.  Wife can attend to the kids during the drive so that only one stop break is needed.  Very roomy, drives great and is very comfortable.  Looking cool...

    New home pet peeve--bathrooms

    Are the water heaters for the house large enough to fill it with fairly hot water?

    The place looks interesting.  Didn't see any prices there though.  And we'd have to find out about how they handle allergies (training and facilities).

    Apps on sale and recommended

    I'm not familiar with freemyapps.com, but GetJar seems legit and offers free and paid Android apps for free.  I believe the way it works is that they pay the app owners per install and get revenue from sponsors.  Only concern is the concern I had earlier, which are app updates.

    There seems to be a fair amount of offerings, but the GetJar app isn't polished like the Android Market, IMO.  There's a My Apps tab, but it doesn't list the app I've installed (looks like it might ask you to log into Facebook and maybe that's how it knows it's you?).  I'll give it a go for a...

    So I'm trying GetJar.  You go to www.getjar.com on your phone and it goes to the mobile version m.getjar.com  You are correct IHO, a popup tells you that you have to install GetJar to get the apps.  It downloads getjar.apk and you need to install it.  Now you've got the GetJar app.  You start...

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

    Yeah, that ASUS $250 Tegra 3 7" tablet sticks in my mind.  I'm very curious to see Google's 7" version too.  I was looking at a youtube for the new Novo 7 Aurora 7" tablet with ICS for ~$180.  Looks interesting.  But I'm still gearing towards a 10" tablet. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hYHpHKIGqYk

    I'd love to hitup a movie with the wife.  The only times we ever do are when we visit in-laws and stay for a few days or when my mom comes to visit/stay over.  Then after the kids are in bed, we disappear.  That happens maybe once a year that we're able to catch a movie.

    RC, IHO, anyone on Android... have you tried or do you use GetJar?  It seems their library is getting bigger.  But how do the apps get updated?  It doesn't use Android Market so how do you know when the developers have released updates for it? Hope I'm not hijacking or intruding.  I am talking...

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

    so I was at BB again and decided to peek at the Transformer Prime again.  They put up a sign now saying "coming soon".  Huh?  They've been selling them online.  Also, one (of the 5 that came up to me) BB helper comes to me and tells me that the a new model has been announced and the tablet (with...

    Mobile Phone Poll for RoundCorners

    I bet if there was an ios/android app for the site (to better adjust threads/views), more people here would be checking in with their phones.

    But how many people access TI from a phone vs laptop/desktop?  I don't access TI off my Android phone.
