But it has pretty decent specs for it's price, amirite?
- MediaTek Processor
- Android 4.2 (In 2013!)
The RAM/Memory/Camera seems decent though the camera depends on the software and lenses if its any good. Numbers don't mean everything. Though I haven't looked into the camera or anything to see if it is. Moto G 2014 4G LTE seems kinda better, plus support for updates, but the camera might take a hit.

As for Alarm clocks, I just use a regular one, well somewhat regular, its easier to set then most, but the screen is cracked. I don't really like using my phone as one, I don't even have the phone with me when I'm sleeping, it dosent get kept in my room

I had some trouble with random reboots on my Droid 3/4, mainly 3. But with my Moto X I haven't experienced it I don't think, my Nexus 10 still does though.

Android: Adding more smoother perfomance and animations while lowering hardware requirements.
Apple: Addings animations, worse performance, and highering hardware requirements.

The first Nexus 7 2013 tablet I had owned had random reboots. They happened just about everyday, and it was annoying. I'll always remember the date I got my first tablet, because I was modded the same day here on PC. :P

However, I replaced the Nexus 7 at Best Buy three months later with another one, and it's the one I have to this day. I think it maybe only shut itself off then back on once, but that was probably after 20+ days of uptime as well. To this day. it stays turned on quite well.

I prefer using my phone /tablet as an alarm clock because it is easier to set. Especially when I can just tell Siri to set an alarm at a certain time. I will also set multiple alarms so that even if I snooze an alarm, one will go off a couple of minutes later to wake me up. This is handy when I know I'm going to be real tempted to try and sleep in.

These are things I can't do with my digital alarm clock.
I really need a new signature.

Why on earth does this library computer at the school have Internet Explorer, and only Internet Explorer installed? It's version 9, too. :|

The computers at the facilities where I reside have Chrome, Safari and Firefox installed. I remember in one of my classes where I couldn't view videos that we had made for it because I had been using Safari and it said I needed the right Flash plug-in, as my teacher suggested that was a Safari issue more than a computer issue.

This, oh my god.

Unrelated note. My android broke (temporarily, smh...) so I went ahead and picked up a Lumia.

Why aren't more people using Windows Phones, man? These things are smoother than the almighty knows what.

My main concern with this though is IE9's considerable lack of modern CSS support. View a profile here on PC from IE9 and see what I mean. ;)

I bet it's locked at IE 9 because some important web page app doesn't work in anything above IE 9. We only upgraded from IE 8 to IE 10 company-wide at my work in September because some web page applications use a web browser and only worked in IE 8 or older.
whoops

I'd rather be more concerned with my browsing security than compatibility of one lonesome website; the website can be updated to become compatible with newer browsers. :P

What I don't get though is why the library computers at said campus of my college are only running IE 9, whereas (at least) two other campuses within the college have both IE 9 and Firefox.

When you're using apps you didn't develop, you're at the mercy of how they made them work and also at the mercy of your limited budget. Some apps only work in specific versions of IE...

when I get my backpay from my pension I am going to be really psyched to buy my... third Samsung Galaxy Reverb. I'll have two... no, one spare battery. When I smashed my second one the battery bled. :/

Maybe I should just hold on and get the new latest and greatest muk... I dunno. I have to buy a laptop for my mother and build a new PC, and also get internet service going on top of things. $1,500 is barely going to do me and I'd be lucky to have the $80 for the Reverb. >>

Spoiler:
I don't see a Sylveon anywhere. Predates X and Y?

Either way, I've been thinking about a lot of things, and I think I might be better off holding off on any tech purchases for now. You know, I think I'll wait until the Cherry Trail-based Intel Atom tablets to show up before even thinking of replacing my Surface RT. As good as the hardware itself might be, it's aging. :3

That, and I want to be able to run everything, though I suspect that might be more of a curse than a blessing on a tablet.

Yeah, it predates X and Y.

Tech purchases? Yeah, that won't be something I'm avoiding this week. I need to buy a keyboard/touchpad combo (probably a Logitech K400) for my server tower so that I can use it offline without needing Synergy to share my desktop's keyboard/mouse over IP. And why a Logitch K400? It's simple for me to use and I can easily store it since it's wireless and I won't necessarily need it all the time, either.

My desktop background on my Mac is a bunch of stars in space surrounding a white eclipse. I've had that one for a while now, mostly because i'm too lazy to find anything else to change it to.

I was at Best Buy twice the past week and did consider getting a new tablet with Windows 8 built in, but I haven't completely opted for one yet since this Mac has enough for me and I can't really put my finger on what i'd use a new tablet for.

Yay, the Bluetooth keyboard I use with my Nexus 7 works with my Venue 8 Pro. One less accessory I would have to purchase for it. 😊

I've been wanting an iPad lately, which is strange, because I've had tablets, but never really used them for much. So for me to get a new tablet would be a waste of money.

I really want an iPad too, so I know the feeling. However, I already own two tablets (I would own three if I didn't give one I used for three months to my father).

Laptops on the other hand, I have three of those, but I only use one and that's it.

I have a work assigned laptop, but I don't have a personal laptop.

I am thinking about getting a full sized iPad, but I'm not sure about using a large tablet. I have a 2012 Nexus 7 that is very rarely used. (My iPhone is so much quicker, I have no reason to use it). My main dilemma is that I can't decide whether I want a regular iPad, or a mini. I also have a feeling that it may not get used much. I already rarely use my desktop.

Out of curiosity, which device of yours do you find yourself using the most?

Phone, 'cause it's always on me. Next would be computer, I use maybe an hour at the most. Just enough time to check PC, spam my resume to places, and that's about it. I've tried browsing PC on my phone, but I find the screens just a tad bit too small to comfortably use on this site. Doesn't help this site doesn't have a mobile theme that's decent.

The best speakers in my apartment are hooked up to the computer, so I sometimes set music playing while I am doing other things around the apartment. I don't always used the computer though. I have a Bose Bluetooth speaker that sounds pretty good. So I'll use my phone to play music to that.

I wonder how they are in practice, though? (At least with IE, you have them right away.)

I want an iPod touch despite it being completely unnecessary and likely to go out of support very soon.

The iPod Touch is, well, the poor man's iPhone or iPad in the sense that it basically does everything to my recollection but make calls and texts. While the iPad does basically everything the Touch can, it's bigger and not as easy to carry around with you.
