Galaxy Nexus Watering Hole

Bite your tongue! No, nuh-uh, not happening. One is quite enough and she is almost in tween years. *shivers at the thought*

I'm sure you have nothing to worry about over the next few years BB. Since she's your daughter I imagine she's a lot like you and I have no doubt you were an angelic teenager.

Looks daunting. But have fun playing!

Best part was the Smirnoff....
But all done. Woo hoo, tomorrow morning I get to start working again!!!! I am excited to have upgraded 3 of the 5 PC's here at home now....gotta get to the next 2 soon, but that was my own personal machine...and it was difficult not having one for so long.....

Bwa-hahahahaha. That was funny.

Although I can honestly say I didn't start my antics till about 15 or 16. I was the quintessential good girl till then.

So is your excuse now is that you're making up for lost time?

Wished I could say that about my childhood

I got toys in the mail....just assembling and having a Smirnoff....

It's been a loooong time since I had that kind of fun. I am so out of touch with hardware I probably wouldn't know where to start

I've never had Chipotle.

Huh? What?
First we find out you'd never seen Star Wars, now you've never had some of the tastiest fast food out there!
If you like monster sized burritos, you'll love em. I'm sure there's one nearby you.
The company (based out of Denver) actually just opened up a new concept based off of Asian food but with a similar layout in DC. Not sure why they did it here. Still haven't been but the ingredients look really cool. I've heard that the veggie option (tofu) is extremely spicey. Makes me excited!

And, good morning everyone!
Looks like MWC hasn't brought a whole lot yesterday/today. The coolest looking phones were the ones by Intel running Celeron processors. 1.6Ghz single core and they look to be pretty fast. Basically running stock GB, which is kind of weird. Other odd part is they're only launching in India.
Will be interesting to see if Google chooses Intel as the processor for the next Nexus.

I'm full of surprises for you all! There's a Chipotle less than 10 minutes from me. A big part of the reason I haven't been is Mom can't eat spice, she has am extremely sensitive palate, and Ann & Pop don't like it much. Just leaves me and Dad and we feel bad leaving the other 3 on their own. I'll get there eventually.

That's a bummer. Their mild salsa really is just a mixture of tomatoes and onions. I've never had any of their meats so I'm not sure if they're spicy.
Always a downer to have to accomidate other folks' palates (says the vegetarian). My wife will eat anything (except bell peppers, strangely) so we go out for any and all foods.

Anyone else college baseball fanatics in here?? We're now full swing into the season! Couldn't be happier!

Never really been into any college sports, to be honest. Except March Madness. Everyone gets into that.

I'm actually a huge fantasy baseball fanatic (as I think I've mentioned before)... which may or may not be what's continuing to distract me from doing an RSRSS. (Sorry guys.)

So, how does everyone feel about LG being the next Nexus manufacturer?

So wait, did we actually get an official announcement about this? No one confirmed or denied.

I love, love, love Chipotle.

Me too! And I really like Qdoba also. I always get the same thing from both places: steak burrito, no beans, extra rice, with the tomato salsa, lettuce, and cheese.

Try it! You'll never look back.

I think you forgot a couple letters there...

Yeah, Chipotle's steak has a kick to it, and I think their others do too - IIRC, they marinate all their meats in adobo. Qdoba's is much milder.

My 10yr old loves Chipotle just as much as we do, and even the 5yr old will eat it with no problem. We have 2 within walking distance of work and home, so we are frequent eaters there...gotta try it if you can. But we also have a local restaurant here in town called Freebirds....its actually on campus at the University of Cali at Santa Barbara...UCSB. seriously good. Same concept as chipotle but with some extras....we love the Queserito. A 14" tortilla grilled as a quesedilla, and then add the burrito ingrediants like steak and rice and beans and cheese and salsa and sour cream and salsa....okay hungry now!!!
Hope everyone has a good Tuesday....seems Monday had a few bits of good news for some....so let's make Tuesday just as encouraging.....!!!!

Have you ever been to a Baja Fresh? I love that one too. Their tostada salad is awesome! Basically a massive salad of black beans (generally they add chicken too), lettuce, tomato salsa, sour cream, cheese, gauc. inside of a big crispy tortilla like shell. They also have a big salsa bar including some really delicious ones. Hmmm, now I'm hungry

 

[breadnatty08]

Ryan, I'm sure you guys have much better burrito options in Santa Barbara than Chipotle!
We have a few local spots since DC has a large Latino population (our neighborhood is roughly 25% Latino).
Only problem with kids is their portions are huge! Definitely go sharezy if you're with kids at Chipotle.

phone 1: Worked from release for about 2 weeks. issue with charging notification, well documented. I was within the 14 days so I got a new one.

Fast forward to a week or two ago/

phone 2: worked for a few months, but then the speaker just died. No sound/alarms/media (really only cared about alarms and speaker phone). I gota refurb

phone 3: No signal anywhere. I stood in places where both previous Nexii and a TB had gotten full 4G and did not even get voice.

phone 4: same as above

phone 5: I love it. it works, and I am back in love.

So...I would say that if you really like the phone keep pushing. But EarlyMon was right, HTC makes some great phones and honestly, it was hard for me to make the decision for Nexus vs Rezound. The dev community is what made my resolve strong, and I am glad I got the Nexus. But you may have different priorities.

-Nkk

Good morning all! Been away for a few days...busy busy busy. I'm still catching up on posts, but wanted to comment on this.

Anyway, I echo what Nkk says above. I think I mentioned before my fiasco with my DX - it was my 5th phone that was the jewel. It was also a new one, but it took a ton of time / work to get it - 3 levels up of managers. But, it's the one I sold recently, and the buyer seems to be thrilled he got it (heard from him after he received it.)

Lucky - if they do send you a new one, be sure they don't reset your contract date, which they did to me. It took HOURS later to get that reset. If I had noticed it when they did it, I would have had an easier time getting it changed back. But, eventually they did move it back and that's what enabled me to get Nessie on release date.

So, bottom line - they CAN give you a new phone but you have to push for it. Mention that you're very active on the forums, and you know that these are known issues, that you bought a NEW phone, but it's not worked right yet. You have a right to a NEW phone that is actually working. You paid for a NEW, WORKING phone, but they haven't provided it yet.

I am fine with THIS refurb GN, and it works SO incredibly well - I'm very, very glad I didn't get one of the "r" phones! I've had this for 4 weeks, and make a TON of calls on it, and so far (knock on wood) no loss of audio issues at all. I hope you get it resolved to your liking. Good luck!

Ehhh Baja Fresh is very meh to me -- nothing terribly exciting.

Chipotle is always steak (or chicken), rice, black beans, medium or hot salsa, cheese, sour cream, lettuce.

This is our local joint. Hole in the wall in a basement. Owner is super nice. Menu has some pretty off the wall meats to choose from. Of course they have to have menudo soup to help out all the hungover folks in the neighborhood!

I've never tried Chipotle, but we go to a place up here called Moe's (not sure how widespread the chain is). I get a Home Wrecker myself (chicken burrito w/ black beans, rice, and the works for toppings) and yes, that is the name on the menu. Nothing beats a nice big two handed burrito.

Yeah, I've seen Moe's all over the place around here (NoVa prides itself on its chain restaurants ). Never been to one. On the Border isn't horrible too.

We have them!! I get the Homewrecker too but usually in a bowl not in the tortilla. And I ALWAYS get queso. Its delicious.

Would have loved it too. Only thing I've noticed is (from owning a Nook Color, Flyer, Galaxy Tab 10.1) is that Android tabs really need some serious power. The Tegra 3 on the Prime really has done it for me and I don't think a dual core OMAP is up to the challenge. ICS certainly has helped as HC was just a bit premature. Hoping the next Nexus has this capability and that any sort of "web top" addition is both cheaper and smoother than the ones out there (looks are you Moto ).
Love how their demo video, in another clip, touts that it doesn't need a separate data plan.
