I went with my wife tonight for "date night", and we both enjoyed it. Was it Oscar caliber? Nah. Was it a fun action flick, on the level of other summer action flicks? Sure. I think I liked it better than the 2nd, and as much as the 1st. There were finally consequences. To see the...

I'm reading "The Last Cavalier", by Alexandre Dumas. Written while ailing, right before his death, it's his last novel. It's a swashbuckler, during the Age of Napoleon. The novel itself was lost for 125 years, and was only found and recompiled and translated a few years ago. Banshee

Interesting....no use in Canada, but good for those in the U.S. Staples is running a $100 off coupon for all Android tablets except the Nook, until the end of July. Staples giving $100 off select tablets, what will you be buying? | Android Central Banshee

Interestingly, with the Lenovo launch comes Netflix support for the Lenovo tablets. However, apparently now that it's working on those tablets, it'll also work on the other Honeycomb tablets....Xoom, Galaxy Tab 10.1, EEE Pad Transformer, etc. It just requires a bit of manual setup, until the...

Looks cool. I'm a bit curious about how they fit Musketeer in as a Cavalier archetype. They're pretty much the furthese you can get from a heavily armed and armored mounted social warrior. I wonder how that'll work out. I'd have expected Musketeer to be something that would fit under...

Rapier really doesn't fit a ninja. I think the Bastard Sword profiency is largely because the Bastard Sword is analogous to a Katana, and there's lots of contention about whether there was ever a real ninja-to, or if katana would have been used. I just can't imagine a ninja prancing around and...

I'm not sure I like the new templates. I never really thought the ones in 3E were difficult to use. Each type was a simple set of ability score adjustments, determined by type, and applied to the base stats. Now, it's a matter of applying some modifiers that apply in all forms, then use...

Those are some big numbers! I'm willing to bet during that period, Android devices in total sold only between $1-2M (including all models). Of course, this is the first generation. We'll see what happens over the next several months. The resizing feature that's been added to Honeycomb 3.2...

I don't listen to podcasts often, but the Android Marketplace seems to have apps that allow you to subscribe to them. Is that what you're looking for? https://market.android.com/search?q=podcasts&so=1&c=apps Note: I also don't have a tablet yet. Just an iPhone 4. Banshee

A sword takes a lot of training by comparison to a knife. In the close confines of a house, it might be a little difficult to swing effectively. But check out the trailer for Ironclad. How many knives can do what they've got swords doing in there? When it comes down to it, some people die...

No, I haven't.....I wasn't aware of this program. Thanks for pointing it out. I'll give it a try. When I googled it, I also found references to Ultrasurf and Hotspot Shield. Hopefully one of these measures will work. I'll let you know, once I've tried it out. Banshee

How did the Q550 function? I've seen the Acer Windows tablet, and I'm not sure whether or not I like it. I guess it just feels a little....odd. However in terms of power, and sheer "what it can do", it seems to blow everything by Apple, Google, or RiM away. It *is* expensive, though. And I...

So, how about those Bruins? Banshee

My iPod's more *convenient* than my CD player. But if I want good audio, I listen to my stereo and CD's....not MP3's. The difference is marked. I also find reading on a screen far more tiring, and less satisfying than just having a book in front of me. The only advantage a screen gives me is...

That it does. It's dirty pool....but it's still pool. Oh well....I don't want to get too down on Apple. This thread has remained civil so far. Banshee

Unless they can guarantee continued access to materials after an edition change.....no. Maybe I'm old fashioned, but even ebooks don't compare to the real thing, IMO. I like the smell of new books :) Banshee

That's the default browser, yes. You can also get Dolphin HD, Firefox, and others. One of the nice things I've learned about Android is that when you put new apps on it, you can change which are you default (like with Windows). I purchased Mercury browser on my iPhone. But I can't make it...

This is my understanding of matters. And there were articles about this going on even before the Xoom was launched. Seems a business strategy, rather than chance. What else is going on? Apple's suing pretty much everyone and their grandmother. To be fair, I *did* come across people posting...

I'd settle for being a Hulu basic member, but they discriminate against Canadians :( As far as I understand it, there are no Hulu or Netflix apps yet for Android. However.....I wonder if you could just use your browser, go to the website, login, and watch the movie? Banshee

BTW, for those for whom the current lack of Hulu and Netflix apps on Android is a problem, I was reading some posts on user message boards, and I saw several users pointing out a relatively simple solution. Keep your main PC or laptop on, and then use a desktop sharing program (both the EEE Pad...
