TheAtheistReverend · January 3rd, 2013, 08:14 AM

wyndslash · January 3rd, 2013, 08:29 AM

Imagine paying more to have your own government spy on you. The land of the free is getting out of control.

Are you talking about the Ubuntu mobile os? I hope that never makes it off the ground. I'm afraid it will take some great developers away from the Android os, and generally split the community.
I don't see a huge advantage to having another Linux based mobile platform.

What do you all think?

Liamo_210 · January 3rd, 2013, 09:18 AM

Ye im talking about ubuntu. It seems too complecated with all the swiping though and the fact it cant run on a gnex very well means it would only be able to run on super high end devices. Altough the lag could be down to the fact its still in development stage. I dont think it will take off as i doubt it will have the backing long enough. In the end it will die out but not before it puts up a fight. Also im not sure if there is room in the market for another os. Also apparently they could be going through some patent issues with the favourite apps bar on the side as that apparently first featured in bada os.

Liamo_210 · January 3rd, 2013, 01:53 PM

Take away for dinner tonight. Not from a chipper though (Fish and chip shop) but from eddie rockets. Its a dinner type thing. Im getting some buffalo wings and garlic fries

wyndslash · January 3rd, 2013, 02:47 PM

Very early morning

Liamo_210 · January 3rd, 2013, 03:44 PM

Why??

TheAtheistReverend · January 3rd, 2013, 04:07 PM

I would love some good Mexican food tonight. There's a place in St Paul called La Cucaracha that sells mainly locally sourced and organic food out of a dive-bar restaurant. Best mexican food ever.

Liamo_210 · January 3rd, 2013, 04:32 PM

Sounds good!!

breadnatty08 · January 3rd, 2013, 06:43 PM

Kill me now. Just want to go home and crawl into bed.

Liamo_210 · January 3rd, 2013, 06:46 PM

Seen your rant in the other thread. Just remember this everything will get better and you've got us here on the forums

breadnatty08 · January 3rd, 2013, 07:06 PM

Thanks, Liamo. Put it in the wrong thread!

Listening to some Ani Difranco, she helps calm me down.
Grabbing some greasy food and will see the wife shortly. It's just becoming a way too long week.

wyndslash · January 3rd, 2013, 07:09 PM

*pats dread on the back*

Liamo_210 · January 3rd, 2013, 07:20 PM

Well the weeks nearly over and then you can forget all about it.

TheAtheistReverend · January 4th, 2013, 12:34 AM

Must... go... to... bed...

wyndslash · January 4th, 2013, 02:58 AM

Must...stop...eating

Liamo_210 · January 4th, 2013, 05:34 AM

The electricity is gone here so I'm going to be bored for a few hours.

breadnatty08 · January 4th, 2013, 05:40 AM

Is your phone charged? Can you tether?

wyndslash · January 4th, 2013, 05:42 AM

watching the last season of Frasier. I always get sad when it ends, no matter how many times I watch the series ;p

breadnatty08 · January 4th, 2013, 05:45 AM

Never watched Fraiser. Seen some clips, that's it.

wyndslash · January 4th, 2013, 06:11 AM

i keep forgetting it's an American sitcom

Liamo_210 · January 4th, 2013, 08:24 AM

The power just came back 2 hours early so I'm back for now anyway.

wyndslash · January 4th, 2013, 08:53 AM

Liamo_210 · January 4th, 2013, 08:59 AM

I think ill join you ....

wyndslash · January 4th, 2013, 09:07 AM

Have mine. I don't drink

Liamo_210 · January 4th, 2013, 09:11 AM

No problem i love to drink. Yes its a stereotype that all irish are heavy drinkers but its actually true for the most part

wyndslash · January 4th, 2013, 09:12 AM

Lol. You said it, I didn't

I'm glad someone's online. It's one of my off days

Liamo_210 · January 4th, 2013, 09:25 AM

You were probably thinking it

I have a day off aswell.

wyndslash · January 4th, 2013, 12:29 PM

No. I meant it's one of those days when I wish I were a male instead of a female.

lunatic59 · January 4th, 2013, 09:10 PM

*pops in to see what the world has been up to.*

wyndslash · January 4th, 2013, 09:12 PM

hey luna

not much happening here

TheAtheistReverend · January 4th, 2013, 09:14 PM

Yeah, all the threads I'm subscribed to have been kinda quiet since last night. Was it something I said?

lunatic59 · January 4th, 2013, 09:16 PM

Been working my gluteus maximus off for the last two weeks. I am exhausted.

TheAtheistReverend · January 4th, 2013, 09:19 PM

I hear you! Starting this weekend though, I am working weekends only (2 12.5hr shifts) and going to school (easy) mornings only during the week. I feel like I'm going on vacation.

wyndslash · January 4th, 2013, 10:46 PM

can't wait for school to start next week.

*drinking fennel tea*

wyndslash · January 5th, 2013, 06:24 AM

*sings*

*watches the last two episodes of frasier*

ah, another era ends ;p

breadnatty08 · January 5th, 2013, 06:35 AM

How's it going in your part of the world, Wynd?
What do you teach again?

Liamo_210 · January 5th, 2013, 07:09 AM

Morning all. Man I woke up late today. Going to have some bacon, sausages, eggs and tea for breakfeast. Anyone doing the same?

breadnatty08 · January 5th, 2013, 07:12 AM

Leftover sammy for my first breakfast.

Will likely go out somewhere once the lady wakes up for the "second" breakfast. Man, I love Saturdays.

wyndslash · January 5th, 2013, 07:13 AM

hey liam

sounds yummy

dread: i teach basic japanese part-time

it's night time here ;p wanting to learn how to customize my android home screen. but i don't know how to start.

Liamo_210 · January 5th, 2013, 07:17 AM

The only thing netter than Saturdays are Sundays as well I have the same break feast and a roast dinner with chicken roast potatoes and gravy.

I get the feeling ng um talking about food too much.

breadnatty08 · January 5th, 2013, 07:21 AM

Wynd, if you want to blow you're mind customizing, check out this video:

I started doing all of it, but Go just lags like crazy on my Gnex, so went back to Nova.

Liamo_210 · January 5th, 2013, 07:23 AM

Ye I found Nova launched better. But I don't use launchers with my nexus 4 as I love it the way it is.

wyndslash · January 5th, 2013, 07:24 AM

i want to use nova

someone told me it retains all the functions of the s-pen.

liam: food topics are always welcome

breadnatty08 · January 5th, 2013, 07:27 AM

Huh, never thought about that. I know my friend rooted and ROM'd her Note 1 and it does lose quite a bit of the S-pen functionality. Not sure how launchers do.
I love Nova! Only reason I initially installed it was to get rid of the damn persistent search bar!

Since I upgraded to Prime, I love the gesture features (among other things). I just swipe down on the screen and it launches the dialer, single tap with two fingers launches the camera etc. I'm able to run with 3 super minimalist homescreens this way.
