Galaxy Nexus Watering Hole

[IHateMyTreo]

I'm very sorry to hear this. To me this is a tragedy.

To some few demented souls (any skiers out there?) and husky mixes, it would be another Xmas gift

Where was this massive snowstorm last week when I was on vacation!? I want to play in this thing!

I have a black car, and I have already got pollen on my car every day. It's barely February. Two years ago we had 3 inches of snow right now. Now given that was a 25 year fluke, but still. Last year I had a month straight of frost on my car, this year, two days. Total. I sure wish we got a winter this year, but for us, it went straight from fall to spring.

Just made my reservation to fly back on the15th. How can I possibly NOT get one and remain a lounge rat in good standing?

morning all!!!!
Just checking in and saying hi...I have been lurking, but not posting much, been an incredibly busy week.
Plus I am having so much fun with this phone....had to share a quick story.
A friend of ours that is a composer will be playing music at our wedding in September and I got together with him and his wife for a little planning meeting on Wednesday. They both own iPhones but have PC laptops for all of their work, and had everything spread out with a keyboard/piano set up so he could play some examples and show me what he was thinking about playing. But he wanted a playlist of the songs we like and will be providing to our actual DJ....which I had forgotten to bring with me....so I whipped out my Nexy, used splashtop remote to log into my server at home, set up remote access for them to access the server with all the actual music that they can listen to over the coming weeks/months, created a Word document of the playlist, downloaded the doc to my Nexy and printed it to their wireless printer right there at their house....just that quickly. I look over at them sitting on the couch......and they are both staring at me like I have completely gone nutso!!!!!
And then asked me how to get a phone that does all of that!!!!
I left about an hour later laughing so hard it hurt. Made my day. BIG TIME!!!!
Hope everyone has a great Friday, and a safe weekend.

Man, what I would give for a snow like that here. Most I've seen is about 10-12" and I think that's a record or very close to one here. We didn't even get snow this year and it's in the mid 60's now.

Same here man...except I've had frost on my car 10 or so times. Granted I get up and leave well before sun-up, but still, last year would have had many more days like that...probably 30.

Anyone have the link to the Swype APK download for the Nexus? Was going to wait on them for their "end of month update" well...end of month has passed and it isn't here.

While I don't have an awesome story like that to share, I just love the fact that I can take a photo with my Nexus, slap a piece of photo paper into the printer and print it straight from my phone! So amazing that my aunt is secretly wanting a Nexus (iPhone user).

Morning Nexicans!

Good Morning Gnexers!

While I am generally opposed to buying single stocks as opposed to mutual funds, is anyone else here tempted to pluck down some cash on Facebook stock?

One part of me thinks it could be the next big thing... another part thinks it's about as big as it's gonna get already.

I'd be interested in hearing your thoughts on the IPO...

I don't follow stocks/mutual funds/bonds or any of it BUT it does seem like something that has potential. On the other hand, the bigger Facebook gets, and the more changes they force upon us, the more it makes me want to stop using it.

I personally am leaning on option 2, that it is not going to get much bigger. Phandroid's Android Overload tells why:

"Facebook cites Android and iOS as "big risks". Can't make money off of mobile."

You have to be out of your mind to say something like that. If facebook isn't going to support mobile as a way to expand their business, then they aren't going anywhere IMO.

Chief, I read several stories last night while putting the big post together, most of which said investing in Facebook would NOT be a good idea:

Should you buy Facebook shares? Probably not| Facebook IPO News | The Week UK

Facebook's IPO: Do not buy | Molly Rants - CNET News

I go with number two. It is grossly overvalued and not likely to hold its price after the first day offering. In other words, if it follows the other recent tech stocks (linkden, groupon, pandora, zynga) it will sell high and then drop immediately. Google was three times less expensive as an IPO and facebook is 40 times more expensive that the average IPO of the last 40 years. With this kind of price you have to ask yourself if you believe that Facebook can grow enough to have enough revenue and profit in the first few years to offset its cost. Facebook is already traded on secondary markets like Share Post and pre-IPO investors are already able to buy and sell shares from employees and current shareholders; simply meaning a lot of money has already been made here.

Kind of comforting to know that some Lounge members ninja'd the professional analysts

I use Printer Share.

If your printer has bluetooth, you can just pair up and BOOM!
Once it is paired up, the print option will show up in your apps.

yeah....there are a few options. I use a printer I set up in Google Cloudprint, and it works very well (can print to any printer set up that way, even if not close by, which is pretty slick!) For example, I can print something on my home printer or office printer, wherever I am, as long as I have an internet connection on my phone.

Oh and printing from the Nexus...for those who have Brother wifi printers, they have an app that lets you print webpages, pdfs, and pictures directly from your phone as well as scan directly to it if your printer/all-in-one has that capability. Very slick if you have their products.

I like that idea, but I prefer to be around when the printer is running.

^^^ My luck the printer will print non stop and catch on fire if I am not there. LOL

EDIT: And if you have a cat that is a bad egg and likes to play with the printer as it is printing.............
