Re: The Tablet Tavern
Always good to participate in sports. I was always encouraged but never forced when I was younger which is the way I think it should be. Is he any particular belt?

Don't think I've ever been fishing. I'd much rather just sit in a boat and drink beer. But, I guess that's pretty much what fishing is anyway.
Whoah, slamming night last night at work. Couldn't believe how it just would not let up!
Ended up doing over $15k in sales.
Glad to be able to relax today before the storm that will be the Superbowl tomorrow!

Give a man a fish, you feed him for a day. Teach a man to fish, he'll sit in a boat and drink beer all day.

More guacamoli is eaten on Superbowl Sunday than the rest of the year total. So there is that.

Beer, um, let me check the other fridge, yep, more beer. Oh, smoking ribs, chili & cheddar nachos with ample amounts of sour cream and guac plus a few jalipino (sp) peppers, crackers with cheddar jack cheese and pepperoni. I may make a seafood chowder and some homemade maple syrup baked beans.

I'd be all over that Nexus 4 if it was compatible with Verizon, but I have to hold out for the time being.

Haven't owned an LG since my flip phone days so no comment on their quality.
But, if the build quality, radio and battery life (akin to a Maxx) and stock Android be it JB or KLP is in this Moto.... Please, take my money NOW!

I hope there's an unlockable bootloader to go with this X phone as well. We won't be able to trust Verizon to keep it updated.

It is bad, but their network coverage is second to none, and they have more lte coverage than every other us carrier combined. Prices are through the roof as well.

Tbh carriers work completely different here as only one that comes to mind control your updates. The rest don't even put any bloat were on the phone.

Yeah, it's amazing how much control telecommunication companies have. It's mostly due to a combination of lack of government regulation with the majority of customers complacent with how things are, and ignorant to how they actually operate.
For example, for my area Time Warner Cable has a 100% monopoly on cable and broadband internet
. There are satellite tv companies, but they don't offer broadband.
