chw42 Posted May 15, 2013 Share Posted May 15, 2013 QUOTE (Y2HH @ May 15, 2013 -> 01:26 PM) These services are specific to a certain set of people. I'd never pay to stream music, not from anyone...I just don't see the need. Certain people seem to have this *need* to find new music, when I'm perfectly happy with the quite-wide variety/collection of music I have now. I don't really need to "find" new music, especially if it means I have to listen to 50 bustout songs to find a good one that I "may" like. Music I like eventually makes it's way to me, just as it always has. I have about 10,000 songs in my collection, weighing in at almost 60 gigs. I have enough music to listen too for the rest of my life without worrying about growing tired of it, either. Heh, maybe you're just too old to like any new music.

iamshack Posted May 15, 2013 Author Share Posted May 15, 2013 QUOTE (chw42 @ May 15, 2013 -> 11:21 AM) 4.3 will be out before that I think. They haven't mentioned it yet, so maybe that was a false rumor. If 5.0 does get released, it will be with the next Nexus later this year. Google's streaming service is already live, along with a new Google Play Music app. I'm already using it. It's slightly cheaper than Spotify on mobile, so that's good. I don't know if I'd pay $7 a month to play all my music on mobile though. Hey CHW...you got a job with Dell, right? Anything changed w/ them possibly getting bought out?

chw42 Posted May 15, 2013 Share Posted May 15, 2013 QUOTE (Jake @ May 15, 2013 -> 01:29 PM) I think I'm going to go for HTC One. Their tweaks to standard Android to my knowledge are rather minor, short of requiring you to use BlinkFeed as one of your homepages. I think I might actually like BlinkFeed, so I'll be okay with that. The only bad thing about BlinkFeed is that ugly weather clock. You can always use a third party launcher to get rid of it. Nova launcher is definitely the best. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Y2HH Posted May 15, 2013 Share Posted May 15, 2013 QUOTE (chw42 @ May 15, 2013 -> 01:32 PM) The HTC One actually acts a lot like a Nexus device. The bootloader can be unlocked through HTC-dev and there's already CM builds for it due to that. And CM builds are not dumpy. Stock Android is nice and stable, but there are customization options it lacks that I cannot live without. That's where custom ROMs come into play. Paranoid Android is actually developing Facebook chat heads for all notifications, allowing for overlay multi-tasking. It's pretty damn impressive. I'm also fairly sure there will be 100% stock AOSP builds for the One in the future. CM builds are dumpy. They're not very stable. IMO, that's an immediate no go.

They're not stable when they're in alpha. But after they through a few milestones, they're just like stock. Maybe it's slightly different for Nexus devices given that they're built to run AOSP-based ROMs. But I never found any issues when I flashed AOKP on a Galaxy S3 for work.

Anyway, bought a replacement screen from blisscomputers.net, and found a shop that will fix it for $60. Thinking about just replacing it myself. Saw a youtube video and it looks pretty easy.

Balta1701 Posted May 22, 2013 Share Posted May 22, 2013 QUOTE (Brian @ May 22, 2013 -> 09:06 AM) Even looking for non Apple recommendations. Personally, if I were looking for a computer to "Just use for basic stuff at home", I'd steer away from Apple. They're worth the money if you make heavy use of them for work or school or whatever, but you can get a cheap laptop at Best Buy or Amazon for 1/3 the price. The Cheapest Macbook is $1000, a cheap laptop on sale at one of those places will be $300-$400. You'll have to put up with Windows 8 for now, and they're not going to be as reliable as a mac, but for "Basic stuff", presumably meaning maybe a few microsoft applications and going online, I'd go for the cheap one. Even if it breaks down in 2 years, the replacement cost would be so low that it'd be cheaper to buy 2 of those than to buy a single macbook.
