This Samsung commercial seems to start out a little like the video in the original post:

Maybe there are some kids' books in there ...-kunkel321 (September 11, 2012, 11:50 AM)
Nice..found a link to 161 Places For Free Children's eBooks Online there. That will keep me busy for a while.-daddydave (September 11, 2012, 12:02 PM)
Looks excellent! Thanks for the link!
We're not quite at that stage yet, but I'll be keeping this in mind.Of course now that Microsoft has essentially bought out (or more probably bought off) B&N (in an effort to get out of that ridiculous patent lawsuit they themselves started) there's every indication the new Nooks will soon start being based on Windows 8 rather than Android as the current models are. Could be good or bad. Only time will tell on that score.-40hz (September 11, 2012, 12:02 PM)
This really pisses me off. Even when you want to just go and get a book for your kid, you have to worry about this crap.
Nothing against you 40 - you've pointed out a valid issue. But should it even be an issue? Sanity would say "no". Reality on the other hand isn't completely sane.-Renegade (September 11, 2012, 12:27 PM)
Priceless.

Lol is an acronym, not a word, so it should be LOL.

It is also a sentence fragment. :-)-daddydave (September 18, 2012, 10:24 AM)
Unless it's taken to be in the imperative mood, in which case it's an order for the other person to do it.-Renegade (September 18, 2012, 10:54 AM)

Wouldn't that be going back to the old school PDA? (I have and still use an 11 year old HP Jornada 540 through wifi)-app103 (September 16, 2012, 07:39 PM)
You know, I miss my old Palm Tungsten. I didn't have to worry about each and every app's different configuration to get it to sync with whatever variant of cloud storage they use. I just put the thing in the cradle, pushed a button and everything on my desktop was synched with the device. Simple.
At least that's the way I remember it, but maybe time has faded memories of problems I encountered?-mwb1100 (September 17, 2012, 03:57 PM)
In fact my last phone was an iPod Touch, which can't make calls.
In fact, I wonder if smartphones will eventually find a way to take "phone" out of the name, since making calls is probably a tiny fraction of what people use them for nowadays.-daddydave (September 14, 2012, 05:28 PM)

No, but it did come with double mins for life, no extra card to buy. Net10 is where I first saw a Huawei phone. Their android phones require the 50.00/month plan, which made me think of it in the first place:

Unfortunately, no Net10 android phones are available in my area, which I cannot understand at all.-Edvard (September 14, 2012, 08:32 PM)
I got a LG500G prepaid through Tracfone, and it suits me just fine, though I've lately considered buying a cheap Huawei android phone and just using it through WiFi... kinda like a tiny tablet computer.-Edvard (September 14, 2012, 06:08 PM)
Brand insanity aside, these phones are getting too f****** big! A PITA to lug around and easy to smash up!
For my next phone I'm seriously considering going for the smallest, lightest device available that lets me make and receive calls, that's it.

I've noticed that T-Mobile USA's 3G bands (UMTS (W-CDMA)/HSPDA) operate using both 1700 and 2100 Mhz frequencies (at the same time) and India also uses 2100 Mhz for its 3G, so that seems to be a happy coincidence for those who travel between both countries.-daddydave (September 02, 2012, 10:08 AM)
I also agree with JavaJones above that having the option of white borders (margins) between the images would be a plus. Maybe a standard number, say, 30 pixels. Or perhaps allow user to choose the actual margin width.

Yes, I was able to opt out and then the new version of Waterfox installed fine. Try it again!
Even worse, i think opting out from installing the "adware/toolbar" i was unable to even run the browser.
I've got Windows 7 Home Ed. 64 bit at present time so it should work just the same no?-dantheman (September 01, 2012, 09:16 AM)
