Ask me about the GAF Notebook
Makes sense since I'm too old to be a kid (even though everyone who meets be thinks I'm like 12 years younger than I am). I'm also successful but not a hipster or their older cousin the yuppie. So of course I own a WP.
what about us who own an android and windows phone? I'm so conflicted!

Perfect. lol.
You know how some people are super smart but around girls they talk all tough and hide their sensitive side? It's like that.

What about crackberry owners?

Divorced businessmen, duh. But they're fathers who dutifully pay for child support, so congrats to them as well!!!

This is why I love you WP-GAF! You guys actually have a good sense of humor, and you don't take all of this so seriously.
PS: I hope we are in such a good joking mood this time next week after all the MS info we should be getting.

I think we can take the jokes because deep down we think that WP is going to succeed. amiright
Wife is due in November. Our first. Scared shitless, but excited for a tough climb ahead. Seems like there's got to be some sort of perspective I've yet to see once I put on some fatherhood pants. HYPE?
edit: What the crap, didn't know this: On the Bing Maps page with the directions, simply press and hold on the directions for the option to copy the directions, which can then be pasted into an email, text message, web page or other apps.

It's definitely getting more attention than it should get.
You always sound like a grumpy old mentor in this thread :-D

I think the Xbox Tablet will be a pretty big deal.
I won't, because I'm not getting my hopes up.
Still, it seems there's a lot of innovating at MS in the past few years, whether it's apps like Photosynth, stuff like Kinect and Surface, projects like Courier and all the stuff from those research lab videos. Yet MS never seems to leverage that, apart from Kinect. So I'm still waiting for the one thing that blows me away.
If it's green and made by Nokia, I'll buy it ;-)

What would the Xbox Tablet do?

Break after few months and then get extended warranty.
There is an app for that.
Redditor?
I had a dream about this event last night.
Stephen Elop comes out on stage to everyone's surprise and declares it a Nokia Windows joint event.
They first brought out a VP at T-Mobile to discuss the Lumia 710, but noisy gave a shit. That presentation went too long.
Then Elop came back out and introduced the new Windows 8 Tablet - the Lumia 720. It was a sportscar red tablet in the same vein as the 900 with full support from Xfinity, HBO Go, Netflix, and they showed XBox Live capabilities.
Then I woke up catch my 5:00 AM flight and wondered why I was such a goddamn nerd.

If I've read correctly I think it's 3:30 PM PST aka USA West Coast Time. Don't hate me if I'm wrong though.
PS: I've decided if it's a 7" tab that's cheaperish with a good resolution I'll go in day 1.

The worst thing about awesome realistic nerd dreams like this is when the real thing isn't anywhere near as impressive.

Hybrid laptop you mean? I don't really need it. Hell I just had only a desktop for a long time. I still have my free CR-48 I bum around with in my bag if I need to type shit. Honestly most of the time when I'm chill'n at my GF's place unless I'm making an |OT| I'm to lazy to take it out anyways. I just take out my phone. 7" tab just for my small use would be perfect for me, but I'm just not a big fan of the Android tabs out there, and I hate that the Fire is sort of it's own deal.
I got hyped earlier in the year with the rumors about Apple doing a 7", but I'd easily buy a Win 8 one too. Plus the price would be cheaper for my usage. As long as I don't need some dumb subscription to access content ala paying for xbox live I'd easily be down. My max price is $300, but the closer to $200 without feeling super cheapy the better. $250 would be a good sweet spot if it meant we get slightly better specs/build quality over a $200 version.
Yup.

Called Nokia and they'll be fixing the device for free. Probably are going to wipe it
Good luck with all of that! At least Nokia seems cool about fixing your issue without to much hassle on their end.
I was surprised to. I told the truth about what happened and they didn't even care.
So I had to change the HDD in my laptop after it crashed and put a different version of Win7 on it.
Is there anything I need to know about transferring my phone? I want to make absolutely sure nothing gets overwritten since I don't have a backup of most stuff on it.
Can I just put the Zune client on it and everything else is smooth sailing?

Many bricks were shat when I saw someone point out that you could do that with the directions.
I heard gaming journalist got invited. MS hasn't even revealed the location. seems like they are making a big deal out of it. an Xbox branded gaming tablet using a modified version of RT (no desktop). well, I can see it being cheap since MS can force an XBL subscription to it. makes the rumored $199 pricing seem plausible. if it could run XBL arcade games like Trials with Xbox control pad connectivity, I can see it being successful.

Highly recommend Soundclouder as a metro app to access music from SoundCloud with no login required. App is free.

What if you have an android, crackberry, iPhone and wp7?
I don't see why there would be any issues, honestly.
VanMardigan
has calmed down a bit.
I do. If the phone thinks it's a new PC, it could be trouble. It shouldn't wipe anything, but it'll be like a new sync relationship.
I thought Apple products were notoriously tricky to transfer due to copyright issues with your song library? And I just assumed MS would do it the same way. ;-)
Maybe I'm just ridiculously uninformed though.
That's what I'm worried about. What are the implications of that?
Yeah, I had a new PC and it needed me to go into the account and remove the old one then add the new PC. There weren't any issues with erasing my stuff, so that's what I mean.
Not really? Everyone's DRM-free (Apple, Amazon, etc.) when it comes to music.
