Congrats! I guess, Samsung *bleh* lol.

Speaking of Tablets, I went to use my Nexus 7 '13 last night, and the little plastic siding next to the glass was chipped at a corner, like a whole corner was missing. Made a mistake of letting my brothers ever use it, since they already scratched the back close to when I first got it. I'll try to see if I can fix it, but ugh.
(We do have cases, but they don't keep them on. And they suck since their 'generic 7" tablet' cases.)

In other news, I guess iOS 8 is nearing half of devices, big shocker there. I feel sorry for Apple users, as soon as their not supported by the latest update, no more new stuff for them, app support drops, no new features. Android you get app support, new features, ect on ICS or even gingerbread through Google Play Services, and Devs usually feel obliged to support lower if they can.
 
man i've been dead

I recently killed my phone by accident and reviving it from the dead was the most annoying thing I have ever done in my entire life. orz

Brothers :P They seem to be very capable of ruining things, even if a little bit. (You should be able to find a model-specific case for anything remotely popular, by the way.)

We we do have one, in fact its the most reccomended one it was a poetic or something like that. I didn't really like the materials but we kept it on, but they took it off, now its somewhere.

Thinking of picking one of these up:
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00E6MA4LS/ref=twister_B00E6MA1TS
Because it covers the lip, where its chipped, but dosen't cover too much of the tablet like the other cases to. Now thinking either Android Green, or Smoke..
 
It feels very weird to see a phone displaying a page designed for desktop PCs with every single letter perfectly readable.

(I received my 930 today. Oh dear...I am now not sure if I ever want to go back to my old phone now.)
 
I didn't think I would adjust so quickly, but Windows 8.1 is actually really useful. We got the upgrade last month in work from XP and it's really functional. I've currently got Windows 7 on my home desktop and I'm now seriously considering updating.

"B-b-b-but the Start Menu!" - General Population. I'm scared for Windows 9 kinda, its bringing some cool stuff, but hope they don't do too much back tracking.

That is one of the downfalls for me, the lack of the Start Menu is seriously something I'd consider before upgrading. I've been using it in work and I've adjusted to it so much so quickly, and the functions it comes with are pretty nifty. As for Windows 9, that's something that I probably won't be dealing with for a long time. ;;
 
Anyone read about Shellshock?
It affects UNIX operating systems (Mac OS X, Linux, BSD, etc.)
Bash is supposed get updated soon iirc with a fix...

You can check if it affects you

Though, it doesn't directly affect Cyanogenmod because they don't use bash by default...

So, stupid question. If you buy a phone with 1.3/1.5 ghz of power and 2 gigs of ram, would you be more then well off? Cause I'm looking into cheap phones to buy(Z3C is still a far off dream), and I know that ram is more important in android and everything, but the 1.3GHZ is still throwing me off.

On newer Android versions (like 4.4), they're so light that 1.3 dual core should be just fine imo
You're right, RAM > Clock speed right now on Android
 
Well, I managed to get my Samsung tablet rooted, but I can't seem to find any version of CyanogenMod that would work with it. Apparently it's a "degaswifi" tablet, which is why it wouldn't load any of the ROMs I tried on it.

Hopefully a ROM is in the works, though.

Oh, I guess I could have mentioned that installing TWRP onto the tablet worked like a charm.

Do you like using your Samsung tablet? Personally speaking, I don't really like Samsung devices.

My phone was stuck in a boot loop for some reason and I went into my recovery to try and fix it. Too bad for me that it was like "LOLNOPE"

So I has to wipe the entire thing, but I wiped literally EVERY partition, including the OS. I had to use CMD to fix it. Wasn't the most fun but I did learn from the experience.

Its quad, not dual, so then it would be more then enough, thanks for the confirmation.
 
Did you know that you can get Office 365 for free if you are a college/university student? I got mine activated just now. All you need is a valid .edu address. All I can say is smooth move, Microsoft. Thanks for making me save $100 for office.
