Does anyone here own a Samsung Galaxy Camera? Thinking of getting one to take 1080p videos with for uploading to Youtube, and also realised that since it's a regular camera it could replace my older stills camera too. I've looked at some sample videos on Youtube and they seem decent, was just wondering if anyone here had impressions of it.

I found a special offer on the Galaxy Camera which is equivalent to about $275 plus tax, though. I even checked and apparently it's not a misprice, it's legit. And in fact that camera you linked is actually more expensive over here.

Well, ok. I'm not good with UK pricing, maybe someone else can jump in here?

Can anyone tell me why the hell I'm getting this Twilight art on this album?

Google is the racist.
Go to this thread and ask there. A lot of people with plenty of knowledge. I also think that it is a little overpriced (dat Galaxy brand name).
Prices for mirrorless cameras (which also record 1080p) are falling and the selection is great.
I've heard of mirrorless cameras but don't know much about them, I always assumed they were in the same sort of price bracket as DSLRs. I had a look, and I found a decent price on a Samsung NX1000 which I'm led to believe is of this type? On the face of it it's interesting because it does have Wifi - but delving into the manual I discover there are some pretty miserly restrictions on its use - for some reason it won't upload anything larger than 10MB or higher quality than 240 WEB (presumably this means 320x240).

about phone cases... went to a graduation today and as i looked at people's phones i noticed that about half of them had cases... but when i looked closer, i noticed an even more interesting trend... the more expensive phones were more likely to be in a case while the cheaper phones were more likely to not be in one.

you needed to observe that to know it? Obviously people want to protect their expensive stuff!
naked still best though.

No case on my HTC One. Feels so good.
I just sold my Surface RT and got a Nexus 10. Figured if I'm going to switch over to Android I may as well go all in.

i never really thought about it much until i was around an unusually high concentration of people with their cellphones all pulled out to take pictures.

At least they weren't using ipads.

real talk.
there were MULTIPLE iPads, a few Galaxy Tabs, a Transfomer Prime (OG full metal with the bad Wifi) and a Galaxy Note 10.1
and one chick with a Nexus 7, screen facing forward, no rear camera lol
I have a video game playlist that has a whole bunch of weird album art pop up in that same section for no reason. I just went and cleaned out my tags and added new album art so it's a bit irritating to see it screwed to hell like that.

I hope she used a good filter for the pictures she took because that's just dumb.
Sounds like Gooey getting ready a refreshed Nexus 7, Nexus Q and the LTE/white Nexus 4 for a Android day. Lines up with the talk Google trying to move announcements for Android away from Google I/O (at least hardware, and version releases) and let it be about the original purpose aka developers

Same here. After I close the hangouts app, there is a very minor screen lag. (N4)
You had to manually remove all the tags? That's a pain.
Battery life took a hit. Though I don't have any signing in issues.

Zero issues with Hangouts for me.
God I hope so! And if they do, I'll take 1 of each.
Oh no, I recently revamped my entire music collection before this was introduced, I had custom album art for every album too. The new Play Store's album-art fadeaways just show different stuff from what I did myself, so it's irritating that it's loading some weird pictures for the backdrop even though the track album art is still correct.

If the album art search just searches images using Google, you're going to get wrong results. This happens all the time to me with Poweramp and I have to find the correct art manually.
Yeah, the lag is most noticeable after exiting the app. But since I am frequently hopping in and out of Hangouts, it's like lag city, bitch lag lag city, bitch.
I am really loving All Access. It seemed to come out at the exact right time for me. Over the previous month I had tested out Spotify, MOG, and Rdio to try to find a music streaming service to subscribe to. Then, one week into my Rdio mobile free trial, Googy drops All Access and brings together pretty much every feature I wanted in a streaming service.
On a different note, what apps do you guys think are primed for a revamp now that Maps/Navigation, Music, and the Play Store have been upgraded to the clean, card-inspired aesthetic? There were the rumors of a new Gmail coming out at I/O and I'm sure that will happen since Gmail is primed for the new side dock, but browsing through some pictures last night made me realize how badly the Gallery app stands out in its dark form. I think they could do a beautiful gallery app with cards.
It's sort of crazy how one man (Mathias Duarte) has had so much influence over the aesthetics of Google. They have really gone all out with this card theme.

Ask me about the GAF Notebook
So the Android studio is broken for many windows users. It'll install, but then won't load. There is a fix though if you edit and add in this path variable for the java jdk.
