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

    It's called the Asus Transformer Infinity TF700T.  I also wanted a tablet with a microsd slot.  The TF700T comes in 32gb or 64gb.  I chose the 32gb and got a 32gb class 10 microsd card.  I'll report back in a few weeks after our road trip.

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

    That unboxing clip of the Nexus 7 is funny.  Apple spends so much time/money on their box design to give customers a great unboxing experience.  I guess Google didn't do the same with the Nexus 7.

    Thanks for the info IHO.  I haven't been here in a while.  I actually already ordered the TF700T from Amazon and it's out for delivery today.  You can get the Nexus 7 8GB from Google Play and it'll ship in 3-5 days.  The 16GB version will take a few weeks.  I'm hoping the TF700T doesn't have too...

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

    It'll be interesting to see how it does against the Nexus 7.  Doesn't make sense that 2 more iPad models are coming out.  Maybe a smaller 7" form factor, but another 10"?  That wouldn't be jiving with their one model per year history.  The Galaxy Note is a monster of a phone.  Someone at work...

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

    So looks like jr.com has preorders up for the ASUS TF700, but who knows if it'll actually be released around the July 16th rumored date.  Looking at the mess for the TF201 at the end of 2011, it's a toss up of how it'll go.  But I do think this will be the tablet I get...

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

    No expandable memory is probably the biggest complaint right now about the Nexus 7.  With the 8GB version, only about 5.9GB is available after accounting for the OS and installed apps. As for the large bezel, my thought is that it was designed that way so people have something to hold onto...

    oopss.. I was talking about the ASUS TF700 being mentioned that it will be sold mid July.  I'd like to know when preorders will start.

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

    So it's going to be sold mid July.  I wonder if that means it'll actually be some brick and mortar stores to take home or if you put in an order and wait a week or two for delivery?  I was reading about the Acer Iconia Tab A700 with it's high resolution also, but read that it has heat issues.

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

    If the new Nexus 7 had a microsd slot, I'd be all in.  The rear camera isn't important to me.  The 8GB version is $199 with $25 Play Store credit or the 16GB version is $249 with same credit.  It being Nexus is a great plus in that it'll get great OS support.  I really don't like how Google is...

    Irvine gardener, neighbors war over plants

    Funny thing is our boys were great at 2.  This year's been harder.  They'll be 5  next week.  It might be due to our girl that's 2 1/2.  The older boy doesn't get along too well with the girl.  The second boy is much better with the girl.  You just have to learn to adjust with each phase.  With...

    Irvine gardener, neighbors war over plants

    You did the right and diplomat thing, Baby Irvine.  Having the builder put the string for the boundary and having the HOA come out to look at it was right.  Hopefully you took a picture of where the string was before you removed it and documented everything that's happened so you can refer to it...

    Irvine gardener, neighbors war over plants

    You'll probably be fined until you do what they demand or it goes to litigation.  If you don't pay your fines, the HOA can foreclose on your home to get the cost of the fine.  At least I think that's what can happen.

    Internet

    How much is the DOCSIS 3.0 modem and will they take it back if I find that it doesn't up my speed?  I'm on the preferred plan (18mbps) with the blue DOCSIS 2.0 modem.  If going to the D3 will get me better speeds, I'm going out to one of the Cox stores to get one.

    Best times to excercise

    In my single days, I used to work out around midnight.  I hated the look-at-me crowds.  I was actually there to work out.  When some yolked up clown would sit at one of the free weight stations forever, it would kill my routine.

    To the OCDs of the board!

    I've been noticing that I get OCD on some things.  Many years ago at our old house, the garage door was left open a few times.  It was due to our neighbor's remote and our's mixing.  We fixed that early on.  But since then, I have to check the garage door before going to be to make sure it's...

    I need a DVD player...what to do....?

    Some players can also connect USB devices to play mpg, avi, divx and other types of video files.  Those can be great to play the home made videos off your phone, digital camera, video recorder... or ripped movies.

    KS' Landscaping: Impressions? Experience With? Are they competent and reliable?

    I've heard of KC that does landscaping.  His company name might be Rainbow landscaping or something.  They're actually good and well priced.

    24 HR Fitness or LA Fitness??

    Exactly what happened to us.  We prepaid for 3 years and had the option to continue membership at $50/yr for life... if we kept up with it.  We moved around the time the bill was due.  We thought it was paid and realized it wasn't a few months after.  We had been paying the annual fee even...
