Why is everyone always so surprised about this? Google isn't butthurt about using third party hardware in presentations. They're one of the few companies who pretty much openly admit that there's better products on the market than they have.
Not to mention that Chrome OS probably can't do everything they'd like (presentation-wise) at I/O or keynotes.

I'd imagine they'd use the opportunity to push the pixel.
[QUOTE=mobrockers2;40699556]I'd imagine they'd use the opportunity to push the pixel.[/QUOTE]
It also varies according to which system the people who control said presentation like. If I remember, Google allows employees to pick which OS they want to use for development, so there's that.
But yeah, they could've pushed the Pixel, but before the I/O there were mentions that Google would like this I/O to be more developer oriented instead of consumer oriented (no new android hardware or update), and that happened.
I think it's more about what iCole said regarding Chrome OS not really being capable of what they need.

Pretty ignorant statement.
So, ermmm, when does the new web Play Store get pushed?
Next I/O Google could introduce international irony/sarcasm/not_being_serious symbols.

anyone got recommendations for a good looking compass app? Tried a few, can't seem to find one I'd like.

[url]https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=pl.surix.holo.compass&hl=en[/url] is the first thing that comes to my mind
I bought a case for my Note 2!

I want to get rid of the plastic immediately, so metal backplate and bumper did the trick for me.
Coming all the way from China though so it'll be awhile before I see it. I at least have an oleophobic protector on it until then.
Looks sexy.

A different company does

This one replaces the back like the one I got and is made by the other only decent aluminium case designer

That one's an actual case

Looks like I'm getting the first one then, looks great.
And now for the stupidest question since I can't find a google answer on it.
Galaxy S3 and S3 4G (i9300 and i9305) are the exact same size, right? I honestly have never held a regular S3 so I don't want to waste 42$ before I'm sure.

It could also be a lot worse considering I see almost no reviews on it.
Anyone know how I can get the time placed in the center of my phone like in this screenshot? I'm on 4.0.4 (MIUI 2.8.10)

I havent dropped my S2 or S3 ever, not even once. So honestly I'm not too worried about dropping it. I just like the look of that Note 2 case.

I mean in build quality. It certainly does look nicer which is why I went with it instead of the HunterF so I hope I don't regret it.
In other news, got my homescreens mostly set up.

Far left is Flipboard, assistive light widget, and apps. Next is Gmail widget, the above photo is center, to the right is music widget, messaging widget and more apps, and the far right is Google Now widget.

Oh my fucking god people not clearing their notifications tick me off man. Also what the fuck did he do to his holo, it's fucking orange.
Also losing NFC is, no matter how little I actually use it, a definite no-go.

What's that icon? Never seen it before and I had touchwiz.
No idea. I think it's GPS related? Certainly doesn't have a matching item in the notification center.
