Galaxy Nexus Watering Hole

Thanks for posting that Dread. Talk about memories from a lifetime ago. :)

I remember the ritual midnight rendezvous here on the forum hoping for an unannounced preorder.
Ahhhh, the memories of severe sleep deprivation.
makes me smile.
It cracked me up watching the video again remembering how upset we were when the rumored delay was Dec 8, then it was further delayed (for the umpteenth time) until Dec 15th.

We definitely need commemorate Dec 15th. BB has to resurrect some of her more famous avatars leading up to the date culminating with her "It's finally here" avatar. :D
I still have them all! I do need to back them up in case the computer they're on crashes. Its getting slower and slower. Won't complain though - it was free!

Good morning everyone!

Well, I don't think I'll make it down to the Nat'l Mall, but I'll at least get outside the apartment to see if I can spot the Space Shuttle. Should be around 10am this morning. I think they're supposed to fly as low as 1500 ft downtown so hopefully I have a good shot. For those who are bored, here's a feed to Dulles Airport. It should land ~10:45 est.

I wish I could see that. I saw the news this morning and was in awe.

@Captain Ron - is that a pilot's dream or nightmare or a little of both? To have a historic flight like that?

Screen shots of app for those interested. Got just a couple of small UI tweaks/enhancements to make tonight and I'm done :)

Coming back from Denny's for breakfast just a little bit ago I get the train. There's a train chaser taking pics. I'll never understand these people? I repair, tear apart and rebuild these things and they know more about them then I do. New NAS and DMX playing in the background, turn volume down if you don't like.

Love the chalkboard font - that is really neat.

BTW what was the solution to have the View refresh on dropdown select?

This may not be the correct way to do it, but I set the string contained in the TextView equal to null at the beginning statement of my onItemSelectedListener method and use the append command to add new text.

Good Morning Gnexers!

Thanks to Stigy for posting the DL article about the SGSIII. But really:

64GB??? 1080P??? :eek: :eek: :eek:

DO we really NEED that in a PHONE? I mean, I have all 6 Star Wars on my Nexus, various HD pics and videos I've shot, nearly 900 tracks on Google Music available offline... and STILL have 8 GB free. Sixty-four gigabytes?

This phone's likely gonna cost $600 SUBSIDIZED!

Plus, of course, Verizon's $30 upgrade fee... yeah, like Verizon's gonna pick it up on their network :rolleyes:

That's not a bad way to do it - glad you got it all worked out.

Is the app going to be paid or free+ad supported?

For now I think I'll just go with a $0.99 price paid app only. I don't know if I could squeeze an ad in there on some devices and still have room for the 100 question chart. For that reason and the fact that teachers regularly pay $5 each for those E-Z Grader tools, I think $0.99 is a good price that almost any teacher would pay.
