Hmm this Broken Sword game looks kinda fun, I think I'll check it out. Being an android noob I'm loving these sales though I've bought something everyday so far.

Ski safari is fun. Loved it on iOS and got it for full price on android right when I switched. Pretty much the only game I bother playing lol

I have google now hacked into my phone, but I can only ever get the "distance to work" and weather cards to come up, not sports or anything and I doubt reddit would show up either.

Am I retarded or does the app still look the same to me?
It may be the same, but I haven't opened the app in ages. I do remember it looking quite different though.

I wish more people used Google+ though, the UI and feature set of that app puts the Facebook application to shame.

Dunno why I just bought Broken Sword when funding the kickstarter means I get it free in a month

but oh well

Why aren't people more excited by these games today? Ski Safari is one of the best pick and play mobile games out there, Order and Chaos is an incredible mobile MMO, and then there's Broken Sword!

Is there a good toolbox app? Mostly need one for the flashlight, don't want to use the assistive light widget, like to keep my home screens mostly widget free.

Broken Sword playable on a phone? Feel like I would want to play it on a larger screen.

The sad thing is, I have Broken Sword 1 Director's Cut on both Steam and GOG for few months now, but I haven't even installed it. Yet the moment I bought the game on Google Play, I started playing it instantly.

I'm part of the problem :(

Man, I can't buy the apps right now and keeps giving me an error. Is it because it's probably switching to todays deals right now?

What does Nova Launcher Prime exactly add?

I just watched a YouTube vid, and the guy only read the menu text options out loud without showing the differences.

Looks like standard ICS launcher. Why would you need it?

For unrooted devices stuck with bloatware launchers?

In comparison to Nova free? New screen transitions, ability to hide your apps from the drawer, ability to create folders in the drawer, Notifications in Icons (such as unread email count, lost calls, sms) and gestures. Well, I can think of these.

Edit: none of these options are present in the default stock launcher. It also has support for themes.

Nova Launcher and Apex are highly customizable. It's for people who want more out of their phone. Ever see those really cool/crazy designs? you can't do that in the stock stuff.

even though Nova and Apex are very similar with features, they're both very different. Using Apex and then switching to Nova for a bit (because of the update that made Apex crash) was weird. I prefer Apex much better (plus Nova requires paying to hide apps from the drawer while Apex can do that for free)

Nice to see nova launcher in the list of apps for .25, maybe will see other launchers too.

Seriously considering deleting Lookout, do antivirus software actually do anything on phones?
I would recommend droidwall instead of an antivirus. You need root and a kernel that supports iptables, then you can block everything you don't want connecting to the internet.

What do you mean iptable, shouldn't all rooted phones support droidwall.
