That's a good explanation. Maybe I'm just not observant enough....I don't know. But I haven't really seen it when I'm at the store. I *have* seen a little lag with some Android devices when moving stuff around. HOWEVER those Android devices were doing stuff with their CPU at the time that...

My main fear would be if the upgrade process would have the same issues as were experienced by iPhone 3GS users who upgraded to IOS 4. Many of them had significant problems, particularly with speed etc. Banshee

Do people with iPad 2's and iPhone 4's get to upgrade to the new OS? I didn't think that the next OS was going to be a big change. I thought it was just a bunch of minor tweaks. Banshee

Well.....that's kind of a loaded complaint. The performance paradigm has been set by Apple obviously. But one of the ways they do that is by making their UI *simple*. I'm not sure it's even a UI. IMO, descriptions of it being no more than a grid of icons do seem correct to me. Many of the...

I think overall, this has been a great thread. Sorry to dominate it with crack talk (sorry for the pun). Overall, the discussion in this thread has been Shakespeare, compared to the Sesame Street going on on pretty much every tech forum I've visited, to read about tablets. So, a credit to...

Thanks. Dogs are definitely family members. Ours is lovely.....but the barking can be annoying...particularly since some people are already scared of German Shepherds. I had him bark at one woman....one single bark, and she started crying. Incidentally, I'll have to use that crow recipe you...

Incidentally, I checked out the EEE Pad Transformer at Staples, and it actually seems quite nice. It really doesn't feel that thick or heavy, even though it has more of both measurements than the iPad 2. The keyboard dock is rather nice as well. And the screen quality is pretty good. I have...

That's something I wasn't sure of. I figured honesty might help, but I've been told not to admit it was dropped on concrete. I've got other phones that's happened with, and they didn't shatter. This one did. We were walking the baby buggy, she went to pull out the camera, she had reached...

I don't think we have nearly the same choice of Android phones up here. My current carrier has the Samsung Nexus S and Galaxy S....beyond that, it seems like lower end phones....one called the Liquid, and one that seems like both a phone, and a PS3 controller. In any case, interesting to hear...

I hope not to have to use the recipe, but thanks for supplying it. I'll find out more tomorrow.. I'm not too proud to accept a bit of generosity. I'd rather eat crow and save that $200, rather than be right, and be out $200 :) Banshee

Both reviews I've read commented that though Michael Bay still make cardboard characters, for the first time he puts enough work into them that we care. However, the bulk of praise is that Michael Bay may have been born to make 3D movies. They claim he does more with the technology than James...

Unfortunately, she chose her case based on cuteness rather than practical considerations. When caught between a rock and a hard place, cute always fails. As this one did. So far mine has withstood 10x as much punihment with my Otterbox. Of course everyone makes fun of me for it being...

Well, one of my clients used to manufacture glass (or a glass treatment) that rendered it RPG proof. But I don't think that will be used in an iPhone. Given that, the obvious question is, if it's so fragile, why make the entire device out of it? I mean, the face, I can see...but why also the...

Aint it Cool News claims in an advanced review that Dark of the Moon is the best of the three Transformers movies by Michael Bay. Ain't It Cool News: The best in movie, TV, DVD, and comic book news. Banshee

So, speaking of iPhones, my wife had hers knocked from her hand tonight, and it pretty much pulled a "T-1000 at the end of Terminator 2". I thought Gorilla Glass was supposed to make the phone more resistant? This thing couldn't be in worse condition than if I'd beat on it with a sledgehammer...

I like that aspect of my iPhone as well. But I get more dropped calls, and more issues with call quality than I did with my Blackberry, and I find e-mails and texting aren`t nearly as good. But, as a portable computer? Very useful. Banshee

Because the website may have an interface that includes Flash elements? That's a big reason why Apple needs so frikkin many apps. Want to measure connection speed, download the Speedtest.net app, since the actual website uses Flash. That would be my main guess. Banshee

Microsoft has objected to Apple's trademark application on the grounds that the word "app"is shorthand for application and has been in use for over 1o years. Even Steve Jobs has been recorded using the term in public, when referring to the stores of his competitors. How can they claim to...

Exactly....that's kind of what I'm getting at. Apps weren't invented by Apple so App Store is as generic as shoe store. Banshee

What is the quality level of Amazon's devices like? Here in Canada, the dominant player is the Kobo Reader as it is the one pushed by Indigo/Chapters, our dominant bookstore chain. I'm not familiar with the Kindle. Do any of these E-ink displays have colour? I'd thought of getting one for...
