I still use a Galaxy S2, fuck consumerism, I'll use my gear until it falls apart or upgrades become cheap enough.
[QUOTE=Banana Lord.;45901602]Anyone else get really annoyed when the Facebook app decides to just randomly push a notification about a status someone posted? I've had the same one pop up two days in a row now, and several times a week I'll get one about a random friend "shared a post!"[/QUOTE] Yes, the same happens on twitter. this person and some others just followed this account!
I love all these "reviews" of the 360. You had the watch for less than 24 hours so that means you know exactly what the battery is like. Really, give it a week before you thrash it.

Just to get more clicks and page views.

Just to get more clicks and page views.[/QUOTE] Oh I know. But you have the general public and even users on here going "its DOA" when it isn't. Give it a chance. If its a week after release then rip on it. Its inexcusable to have 12 hours of battery life and if it really does, then it is terrible. Initial reviews of the G Watch were almost the same but now you get almost 2 days. All these sites just want clicks, just like you said, and it can make something good look terrible.
[QUOTE=meppers;45901275]So now that the moto360 is DOA what smart watch is gud?[/QUOTE] it's actually not those two reviewers are being dumb, and suffering from new watch syndrome mkbhd says about a day, so i'd put it at "put on in morning, wear all day, put on charger when sleep"
My coworker likes his galaxy gear live, but I dunno. Guess it's just not my thing [editline]5th September 2014[/editline] I'd rather get a pip-boy

Can anyone recommend a tablet to buy? I'm looking for something with a large enough screen to comfortably read graphic novels, use Google Drive, and play games. I'm looking for something that has a 7" screen or bigger, has SD slot and maybe something that allows multi-tasking? Peripherals like a keyboard are neat, but not needed. I was really liking the Nexus 7, but no SD slot is what bothered me the most. The Samsung Galaxy Tab 4 looks really neat, but I'm just not sure if it's a good choice or not.
X+1 has a half inch bigger screen (at 5.2 in), snapdragon 800, and only 100MaH bigger battery. I'm totally happy with the Moto X.
is there a way I can revert the chrome new tab page to the old layout? the new one has google's logo at the top so it blocks half of the website squares, you have to scroll down. methinks they changed this for retards who don't know the address bar works as google search

Didn't work :( Maybe now that it is out of beta you can't turn it off. Or at least I assume this only recently came out of beta.
is there any way in chrome to force full screen entirely, make it do immersive mode or make it so the omnibar is easier to make it disappear?
[QUOTE=Del91;45896303]But I love seeing breaking news 2 days later[/QUOTE] Isn't that how facebook is? My feed is full of day old news and paraphrased Reddit threads.
What are some apps that use the Material Design? I have Textra and it looks great.
[QUOTE=Gulen;45905657]Isn't that how facebook is? My feed is full of day old news and paraphrased Reddit threads.[/QUOTE] Occasionally ill see posts, as they're posted, other times 36 hour old posts will pop up at the top of my feed. Why.
[QUOTE=Del91;45905758]Occasionally ill see posts, as they're posted, other times 36 hour old posts will pop up at the top of my feed. Why.[/QUOTE] Old posts will reappear when someone likes them/comments on them.
But posts from local news stations that haven't been commented or liked by anyone i know? Not to mention posts from ea giving away game keys :v: [editline]6th September 2014[/editline] I should just unlike everything and start over
Mmm that blend between Textra and Swiftkey. [t]http://i.imgur.com/qQ2jaQU.png[/t]
Anybody know of a way to remove some of the icons from the status bar? Just got an S5 and the amount of icons bother me, I only really want the time/battery life and signal up there. Is there anyway to do this without rooting the phone?
[QUOTE=Chains!;45905827]Mmm that blend between Textra and Swiftkey. [t]http://i.imgur.com/qQ2jaQU.png[/t][/QUOTE] Damn, when did Textra get this good looking? Last time I used it was probably 6 months ago and it still had that weird light/dark layout

None of my friends have liked, commented on, or shared the status. It really confuses me.
Is the nexus 5 still a good phone to buy or are there other nice ones in a similar price range (super mainstream models, I have to get it through a carrier)?
[QUOTE=galimatias;45906799]Is the nexus 5 still a good phone to buy or are there other nice ones in a similar price range (super mainstream models, I have to get it through a carrier)?[/QUOTE] OnePlus One is cheaper, but around the same specs or better.

My nexus 4 is fucked so I need a new phone. Any ideas ? Wait for new nexus? One plus one? Htc one m8?
