    My PC told me bootmgr was missing.

    It was lying.

    I only discovered that it was actually just deciding not to boot from C even though there was nothing else to boot from, after I had re-installed windows. I did not have a back up of anything on C.

    Fuck you, PC.

    Thank heavens for sharepod being able to just suck all 50GB of music out of my iPhone, re-ripping all of that would have fucking sucked.

    I tried to get sprint to unlock my palm pre

    But they did not. Don't know how I could have done it on my own anyway.

    I prefer Pulse news to Currents.

    Falcon is good for twitter if you use twitter.
    Aim and facebook messenger are good.
    I use Gmote to control my computer (though I prefer using my phone for this)
    Pocket is pretty good
    the giantbomb app is also good

    McPixel, Sword and Sworcery, Machinarium, Robotek, and super hexagon are all good games.

    I just deposited a check using my phone. Sometimes living in the future is pretty cool.

    XBox Netflix app is the fucking worst. I hate it. The thing that makes me the most glad about getting my PS3 last year, aside from maybe getting to play Journey, is that I can use the PSN Netflix app when I watch shit in my living room.

    Also, my phone contract is up in a few months, and I'm considering replacing my Thunderbolt. What are the cool new non-iPhone phones that I should be looking at?

    Galaxy S3 is hot shit, as is the HTC One X+ and the Nexus 4.

    When is the S4 coming out?

    I was down with the S3 when I started seeing ads for it, but I didn't look into it too deep because I wasn't planning on upgrading anytime soon. But now I'm closer and actually thinking about it a little. My rooted Thunderbolt is still fine, but I'm starting to feel the lack of support that comes with developers moving on to bigger and better hardware.

    S4 will probably get teased at MWC and announced at samsung's own event in March for like april or may

    basically they don't want the M7 to beat them to the punch even though it didn't really make a difference for them that the One X launched earlier

    i guess it depends on what you're looking for in a phone and how much you are willing to drop up front

    because like

    personally for me the day-to-day stuff I do on my phone isn't affected by LTE enough to be worth the extra battery drain (you can effectively double a phone's battery life just by telling it to only use HSPA+) and the Nexus 4 being unlocked and outright for $350 is a fucking astounding deal

    like that's what I do if I ever got hit in the head and decided I didn't want an iPhone

    but I guess that's also dependent on your carrier in the states because you guys still have CDMA people don't you

    Hopefully the base on the next one will be 32GB. 16GB with Retina apps is kinda weak.

    The Nexus 4 just launched recently. How can it only be relevant for one month?

    I love the Wii U Netflix app because you can browse the episode list from the controller and the video doesn't automatically start.

    Now if the controller lasted longer.

    I love my Note 2 still.

    What don't you like about it? I use my PS3 for Netflix as well, but I am always down to get more feedback.

    MS is a bunch of big jerks anyways with XBL and the app.

    Nothing. Matters.

    Also I have to say like

    I had an iPad before and noticed the change in my computer usage

    But it is ASTOUNDING how little I use my computer now with my mini

    Skype, browsing, everything goes on here now. Unless I'm recording or playing a pc game that laptop never needs to turn on.

    the fact that it starts automatically is super annoying. The search keyboard layout is sub-optimal.

    I actually like that it starts automatically after an episode ends, but dislike that it starts when i select a program/movie.

    I prefer the 360 app's general layout, maybe just cause I'm used to it, but I prefer the PS3 display once you actually select something.

    Aside from the S4, do you guys know of any non-iPhone phones coming out in the near future?

    My current AT&T contract ended last week, looking to upgrade from my Samsung Windows Phone to something else.
