The store will still work, it will just not show you some of the apps if it thinks your resolution is not compatible with that particular app. That is why workarounds are sometimes needed.
To get the full tablet experience you'll need to force a false dpi reporting down to 160-170. Once you do this, it goes from the phone-style interface to the tablet one.
When you do this, however, Google Play Store will initially think you don't have any apps you can buy because the dpi no...
When you set up Google Wallet on the N7, you get a $10 bonus as an enticement to try out NFC payments.
Oh, and if you are unlocked and rooted, you will get a security warning message while using Wallet. It won't stop you from using it, it's just Google covering their asses for only putting...
Been months since they had any up. They have the Huawei 5072 4G up for $110 now. Assuming the supplies are as limited as the last time around.
Edit: Use this link to get $50 off as well. Just ordered one for $66.88 with shipping.
Why do they refer to the $30 plan as having "30MB Data" but the $45 plan is referred to as "Unlimited Mobile Web" which other carriers use to mean "You can go to the limited areas we say, on a crappy browser at crap speeds."?
Just like you saw Apple's new direction with the upcoming 7" iPad (something Jobs HATED), don't be surprised if they pull a true stunner and announce that with Windows channeling AOL they are going to open up their OS for ALL systems in their one window to capture a huge market share.
Google has ensured that the hardware is as easy to work with as the software. Especially happy to see that the battery is so easily replaceable.
The summary:
Looks like someone has worked out the details for mounting a flash drive via the Nexus' gimped OTG USB port.
Looks like part of it will still be a work in progress, however.
Just be careful not to wait too long or pre-orders will be shut off. Read one story yesterday that the 8GB model was already shut off to further pre-orders in Canada, for example.
Ever since I was charged a restocking fee for a refunded DOA item several months ago, newegg is at the bottom of my list. I have actually gone so far as to pay extra at Worst Buy instead.
The regular KT133 wasn't the worst.
Much worse than that was the rarely-used and short-lived KT133E trainwreck. Unless you were one of the unlucky suckers to own an abit KT7E mobo, you never suffered the indignity of this pile of PCB Poo.
Poorly supported, random lockups, fried BIOS...
The reason prices for non-contract phones have been so high is BECAUSE of contracts, not in spite of them.
This can be looked at in a similar vein to cost-obfuscation that takes place in the health care insurance industry. People have no clue what an item actually COSTS because they've been...
Don't remember seeing it in the article, but I just tried the @BIOS utility for the first time since installing the board several weeks ago. The board I bought in May had F7 revision, while F9 is now the latest. Haven't been able to find revision notes to see what was fixed.
I'm always...
I was in a PC Richards earlier today playing with a lot of the 2nd and 3rd tier tablets. It was amazing how much of a difference in wifi reception there was from one unit to the next. Some of the tablets could see Home Depot's Public Wifi next door at full strength, while others (including the...
For a Dual Core, Dell has a box at $250 in their scratch and dent/refurb section:
Processor: AMD Athlon II X2 250 Processor (3.0GHz, 2MB)
Genuine Windows 7 Home Premium
Inspiron Desktop 570 MiniTower
500 GB SATA II Hard Drive (7200 RPM)
4 GB DDR3 NON-ECC SDRAM 1333MHz (2 DIMMs)
16X DVD+/-RW Drive
This sounds like a case where getting a refurb or entry level prebuilt box is probably going to be the best choice. You can sometimes find i3 systems starting around $300.
Had a bit of good luck, just enough to not make things completely suck.
Turned the computer back on when I got home, and it ran just long enough for me to run MozBackup to export all my FF/TBird profile info and history to a flash drive. The email in particular was the only data not easily...
I need to reinstall win7 anyways, so im guessing it will put the raid driver in automatically?
Im still going to be doing occasional ifflune backups, but I am willung to pay more now to avoid 2 days of downtime later.
I will get the drive info once home.
This failure has me paranoid now... I'm considering going right into a raid 1 setup for replacement. anything I should worry about setting one up on a z77x-u3dh?
Ive been running the drive for the past month, last night it hung up on a windows update. Shut down and reboot this morning and click hell. Reboot again, "insert OS" hell. Dead drive.
... well, there goes my next two days recovering.....
Going to try it as a secondary drive tonight to recover most recent data. I think the only critical item is going to be a couple of weeks worth of email. Still have my old computer I can hook back up to do another mass data transfer off...

First the evo, now iphone... And likely, still on the inexpensive plans.
Guess im finally retiring this optimus.
