Galaxy Nexus Watering Hole

[RazorSharp]

Yeah, but PopUp Play is rather... limited. On the Verizon SGS3 web page the PopUp Play feature has asterisks and if you go the the fine print it says "*Not compatible with Netflix, YouTube, Media Hub or DRM protected videos."

Not compatible with Netflix or YouTube?
FAIL.

Oh wow, yeah, that's a biggie. Well no surprise that they don't mention that in the commercial, but that definitely limits the potential and usefulness.

On an unrelated note, a thought just occurred to me - does anyone know the status of the 4.0 updates for the other major manufacturers? Have the Rezound or Razr officially received 4.0 yet?

You can download the upcoming OTA for the RAZRs, it should be out VERY soon according to a reliable insider.

Word is they hit it out of the park on the quality of the update.

I forgot about the Rezound status, I knew it 2 days ago.

I think there's still no official ETA, but it appears to be soon.

Morning everyone! We're having a lot of construction done in the restaurant that's supposed to be finished by the end of lunch time. I'm not holding my breath though. Should make for a pretty chill evening.

 

[AntimonyER]

Morning all! Well gonna be another rainy couple of days, with Debby deciding to throw the bird at the NHC and the models and head our way instead. No complaints here as long as the tornados stay away.

Morning everyone. Hopefully the weather cooperates, I'm going deep sea fishing This afternoon. I've never been, so I am looking forward to it.

Sounds like fun! Off the coast in MA I assume?

Morning folks. Happy late B-day Copacetic! Hope it was a good one.

Regarding the status of ICS for other devices. AT&T Galaxy S2 still hadn't seen it as of Saturday. Rezound still has not seen the update either. My Galaxy Tab 7 plus hasn't seen the update yet and isn't scheduled to until sometime in July/August. I haven't picked it up in over a month and am thinking about selling it. It was absolutely horrid with 3.2 on it and touchwiz on top of that. With 2 smart phones, a desktop, a laptop, and a new iPad...the G-Tab never gets used. I've been very dissatisfied with it.

Had a pretty decent weekend myself. Got home on Friday and immediately loaded up the tractor to go mow our plot of land...by mow I mean attempt to bushog with a finishing mower deck...actually worked pretty good, just took forever because it really isn't wide enough. 4+ acres takes a long time to mow without something pretty substanial. Even longer when you have to go fairly slow due to the amount of saplings and tough brush growing.

Saturday the wife and I went shopping and just for kicks and future reference, went to test drive the new Ford Explorer. Very nice vehicle. Yesterday, went to church and kind of rested in between. Sort of a rough go of it yesterday after getting home from church. Had some things kind of bubble back up to the surface that have been happening for a few months now. No problems of either of our own creation and nothing that is causing any problems with our marriage...just some things that are hard to deal with. Just life basically.

 

[breadnatty08]

I'm one of those crazy people who actually enjoys mowing. I guess it's because I do it so infrequently since we don't own any land.
We're still pretty much newly weds so no RL issues yet. Hope it all turns out for the better for you Geek!

Has anyone upgraded to B40? Downloading it now. Looking forward to seeing any changes.

 

[MSUgEEk]

Anti...see if you can send TS Debby this way. We've only had 1" of rain all month. None in forecast for the next 10 days either. It's boke 100 here the last 2 days and eventhough the weather channel forecast says 99 today, local stations are saying 102+ in most areas.

10 day forecst here (HI/LO):
Sunny - 99/68
Sunny - 92/61
Sunny - 95/66
Sunny - 100/70
Sunny - 102/72
Sunny - 98/73
Sunny - 102/72
Sunny - 97/73
Sunny - 101/73
Sunny - 98/72

Downloaded last night. Looks to be a few new features but I'm about 2-3 builds behind. So far, pretty solid.

Good morning everyone and happy Monday - got my Starbucks to get me going this morning. Definitely a case of the Mondays and this gloomy NJ weather is not helping at all. I feel horrible for my kitten because we rescued him out of the rain and now he's home alone in the rain and he's terrified of thunder and lightning - I wish I could be home with him.

Hope everyone had a wonderful weekend. Glad to be back in the thread though - just have so much unpacking and organizing to do still and still worried about this bug situation. Gotta fill some more holes that pipes come through in the apartment.

Yesterday went out to PA for a VW show - some really awesome cars there and saw some great friends. Wish I grabbed a pic of my car because I washed and detailed it for the first time in a few months. Polished up the lips and it was looking real clean. Here's one from the carwash Saturday night though - they have the best soap ever.

Good morning! Hope everyone had a good weekend! Friday night was nothing exciting, just out to dinner and back home to watch a movie. We watched Real Steel. It was okay, nothing exciting. 'Tis the beauty of Netflix.

Saturday evening, one of our club member's church asked us to fly our airplanes at the kickoff of their aviation-themed VBS. We flew a few small planes, some large planes, an aerobatic heli, and a candy drop. The kids and parent both had a great time! A buddy of mine captured a few pictures so I'll post them as soon as I get them. One guy had a dead stick (his engine cut off mid flight... or as we call it, "came un-crunk" ) but he landed without incident. My other friend landed a bit too hot and ran into a piece of rebar sticking out of the ground. Why that piece of rebar was sticking out of the ground at a place children play soccer is beyond me. It chewed into his left wing but he said it's an easy repair. It wasn't too hot but it was very humid. We were all soaking wet when it was over. After that, went to a friend's house as he was having a 30th birthday party for his girlfriend.

Went flying on Sunday, but came home early because I'm really making headway on my FPV heli and also putting my Blackhawk back together. Got a few hours in the workshop so me very happy.

@Copacetic, happy belated birthday! Sounds like it was a good one!

@Svt - Totally understand man. Every relationship goes through highs and lows. I hope things settle down and work out for you guys.

 

[MSUgEEk]

Also...Wimbledon!!!!!

Cape cod bay, weather looks a little dicey.

Thanks. Really nothing wrong with our relationship. Just life throwing us a curve. We'll be ok.

Ah, I grew up in Plymouth County area so well acquainted with the Cape. Would love to get back up there. Miss that place.
Have a great time and stay safe!

Totally unexpected present this morning at work. Today is the 150th anniversary of our company (UBS) so the Chairman and Group CEO sent out free watches to all employees. It's nice to work for a big company sometimes.

 

[breadnatty08]

Dang, that's a sexy watch!
I remember my dad getting some anniversary like gifts when he worked for Polaroid. Though, none of them looked as nice as that one.

 

[MSUgEEk]

Congrats to AT&T SGS2 owners. My dad just notified me his Galaxy S2 got the update to 4.0.3

 

[CaptainRon]

Happy Monday everyone and belated Happy Birthday Copacetic!

Random thought:
I wonder if BabyBlues thinks I am stalking her as I keep accidentally clicking her name instead of hitting the "go to new post" icon while on the nexus.

Sure sure. I believe you.

You can't fool us BabyBlues, you've admitted before you enjoy being "stalked." :laugh:

Morning. Big thunderstorms here in central NJ. Love it.
