so for a few seconds i was here thinking about how Samsung used S and Smart for stuff.. S Beam, Smart Stay, etc... and was thinking .. well, duh, S = Samsung! and then i thought... why does LG use Q? QSlide, QRemote? is that a James Bond reference?

 

[tino]

I get excited for any notable hardware release, even ones I don't plan on getting. Though I'm actually seriously considering the S4.

And also it is pretty interesting. We have no clue what will be the case LCD vs OLED, release dates, and whatever else. I like seeing what from all the rumours shakes out.

I couldn't care less about the LCD vs AMOLED debate.

 

[jobber]

finally updated the tf300 to 4.2.1


I LOVE the tablet interface

It's godly.

 

[The Faceless Master]

get ready 4 the show

Me neither but the nerd meltdowns from amoled fanboys on the Internet is potential hilarity.

Sweet! I don't have to throw up a ghetto last minute topic like I did with the HTC event. Nice job Faceless!

 

[brotkasten]

I still can't get over the fact that Google is going to kill Reader. This is the first time a tech news affected me personally. Fuck Google. Seriously.

I think I know how all the WebOS fans must've felt.

 

[buhdeh]

So... should I switch to feedly

 

[Ocho]

I think feedly feeds from Google Reader.

I feel you, man. I have high hopes the backlash from this announcement will fix things up.

The HTC Sense 5 app drawer: Making simple complicated

If there's one feature of HTC's new Sense 5 that's taken us extra time to get used to, it's the new app drawer. HTC's attempt to simplify things has, in fact, made them more complicated. That's partly due to the new home screen scheme, with BlinkFeed anchored to the far left at all times (even if you never use it). It's also partly due to the app drawer itself.

That's not to say it's without some interesting new features. But they almost seem forced together in a way that makes sense once you're familiar with them. Good luck explaining all this to a first-time Android user, though.

We'll explain.

more nonsense from high tech computer corp.

it's shit like that which makes me hate HTC and Sense. Why change something that simply doesn't need changing? Especially something used as much as the goddamn app drawer.

 

[Pctx]

I am going to fucking kill someone at Google for killing their RSS reader. Fucking..... Kill.

 

[kinggroin]

What logical reason does Google have for cancelling one of my most used feature/widget? What should I use instead?

They can't monetize it like search, gmail or g+.

 

[kehs]

I cant help but feel like people complaining about RSS are still using alphanumeric pagers.

 

[-Pyromaniac-]

Yeah I'm actually blown away by the response to that lol.

 

[brotkasten]

It was explained many, many times in the thread why this is a big fucking deal.

 

[Pctx]

RSS is the futures past now killed right in front of my eyes.

 

[kehs]

brot....

Its RSS with data sync. There will be alternatives in like two hours. It wasn't anything special. Its like getting mad if kia stopped making cars.

What's the replacement for RSS?

 

[Battersea Power Station]

Damn, I might migrate to Currents, but it's so much more difficult to scan headlines. I'll have to resort to skimming articles. Who knows what that may lead to... reading?!

 

[giga]

The alternatives need wide ranging support from third party developers. That's not guaranteed. Google Reader was ubiquitous in that regard.

 

[kehs]

The RSS standard is still there, no?

 

[kinggroin]

I'll quite the water works if you can offer a good alternative, mengbro. Something with a scrollable widget that displays more than a couple stories at once.

Less fluff the better

And my 2003 kia sedona has been fantastic!

I'll have to find my time machine and go to 1994 when RSS was a big deal.

Why do you have to act so stupid, like you don't know any better.

But it's okay. I still love you. <3

 

[kehs]

Sorry brot I really don't understand the RSS love, let alone the titty attacks over a webapp that is so simplistic to rebuild.

Especially since its so easy to takeout your data from reader to bring with you.

Also, Feedly is planning to clone the API, so all your third party apps will continue to function seamlessly.

Yes... This is why I asked if Freely was any good. Does it have a built in mobilizer?

Are they going to open the API to others? I don't care for the feedly UI/apps. I just need an online syncing service that works with my third party apps.

Looks like yes. Let's see if they get it done before July and Reeder integrates it.

 

[tino]

DIS IS WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU FUCK GOOGLE READER IN THE ASS.

History...how fitting.


I'm in the future with G+.

I guess I use g+ as a news feed more than anything.


Lol tino

I'm liking g+ more and more, it's interesting to interact with crazy people you've never met.

Like gaf without stagnation.

This. I hated when they removed the old function of the share option. Now they're completely removing reader. WTH are blogs supposed to do now?

 

[kehs]

Since pctx is pissed at least we can assume klp won't have a revamped news and weather app.

 

[-Pyromaniac-]

Pctx, time to drop some rumours now to eclipse samsung.

Not my fault you hate reading domestic, foreign policy, tech, and food content in a personally curated medium that doesn't have someone else trying to guess what I like to read.

 

[CygnusXS]

Well, trying out feedly now. Does it always take this long to sync? It's moving way to slow right now.

I love doing that....and yet I don't use reader!

Am I a wizard?

Lol brett

 

[Submarino Conversível]

No, they are getting slammed.

No, they are getting slammed.

OK, that's what I was assuming. I'll stick with it then.

The last time I mistakenly clicked on the google + link, you and garry whitta were the only ones posting. Is Whitta still active? lol. Its such a stupid and worthless service, why didn't they ax that garbage instead?

Hey now, G+ is awesome. I mean, not so much for the social networking aspect, I couldn't care less about that. But all the ancillary features are quite excellent.

Haha, I'm not really following too many gaffers anymore.

I like it, but I can see why people won't want to be all exposed online.
