I've been quite happy with Straight Talk on AT&T and my parents just switched to Net10 (same company, they offer a deal for multiple lines though) and they haven't had any issues. I would have given TMO a shot, but in northern NY, TMO is mostly 2G in a lot of areas, including where I live...

You know you can long press on a prediction and choose to have swiftkey remove that word from its dictionary right? If anyone wants to try out swiftkey, you can get the current beta here:http://bit.ly/skemojibeta

Well, if you don't even use the Google keyboard, you could uninstall it. If it's installed as a system app and you're not rooted, you can just disable it. That should stop it from requesting updates.

Fuck that. Time Warner is the only option where I live if I don't want DSL or sattelite. I'd sign up with just about any company that came here offering service equivalent to cable at a reasonable price.

Yeah, a lot of Android features updated through the Play store with Google specific apps that replace AOSP apps like the Google Keyboard and now Hangouts replacing Messaging for SMS. It really got started when Google rolled out the Play Services Framework as an app that gets updated through the...

Seconded. If you read a lot, an e-ink device is is the way to go. I've got a first gen Paperwhite and I've been very happy with it. The screen on the N7 is nice, so it might work for you, but I'd always recommend an e-reader to anyone who reads a lot.

Got in, finished the prison and the game refuses to load the next zone. I close the client and reload to fall to my death, try to leave again and still stuck on the loading screen for the next zone.

Looks like they might be opening it up soon:Koushik Dutta - Google+ - Upcoming release of the Google Cast SDK. Moment of truth,.

I use Google+, mainly to get news from various android devs and a few other random things. I'm fairly antisocial so I don't bother other social networks.

I use Pokki, which I am starting to like more than the Windows 7 start menu.

Yeah, I used to use a screen protector for my old Evo and I had one on the back glass of my Nexus 4, but they just seem to collect dirt at the edges and eventually start peeling. I've never had a scratch on the glass of any of the 3 smartphones I've owned (Evo, Gnex, N4) and I'm not overly...

You may have to configure your APN for your carrier if it isn't pre loaded, but otherwise it should work just fine.

I picked up 8 for my laptop during the discount upgrade period figuring that I ought to be familiar with it as I'm the tech support guy for my family and their friends. Other than the stupid metro crap and needing to grab a start menu replacement I haven't had much of a problem with it. My...

I've been uninsured for the last 16 years and had to have an appendectomy last year and I was surprised at the huge difference in price for such a simple procedure when I looked it up. I was in the hospital for just over 12 hours and just the hospital bill was nearly 16k. The surgeon...

I figured I ought to finally buy Bloodlines considering how often I played through that game. I'm surprised they still charge $20 for it. Now I just have to track down all the unofficial patches that fix it.

I wish I could jump on the the $30 TMO plan, but unfortunately their coverage is ass in upstate NY. I'd be on 2G most of the time. Paying straight talk $45 a month still beats the hell out of what I was paying sprint before i bought my N4. As far as the N5 goes, I'll wait until next year and...

Yes. The leaked service manual indicated the radio would work with every US carrier except Verizon. I think it would partially work with Verizon, but wouldn't support their LTE and maybe some 3g frequencies.

Correct. With phone audio unchecked, everything that's not designated as media will go through your phone's speakers. I have a bluetooth earpiece that is set to receive phone audio but not media, so all my calls come in through that.

Bah, I was reading the combat feats list on the SRD and accidentally included Greater Shield Specialization in the prerequisites since it was indented under Shield Slam. Much easier to do without those.

Yep, most of the time you end up with a -2 penalty to each hand when dual wielding if you have two weapon fighting and are wielding a light weapon in your offhand. Just be aware that due to having shield slam as a prerequisite means you need all of the following: Shield Focus, Greater Shield...

Just a bit of hyperbole in that headline. 8.1 is just service pack 1 for Windows 8 and service packs have always been free. You still have to buy Windows 8 to get 8.1, nothing newsworthy there. If this leads to Windows being cheaper or free that would be fantastic, but I doubt that will...

So I want to finally get my music properly organized with all the metadata album covers and such, so I'd love some suggestions. Especially if I have some control over the process and can veto changes I don't like instead of hitting a button and hoping it does a good job. It's not a huge...

If your phone is connected to your car by bluetooth, go to bluetooth in your settings and hit the options for the connection to your car. You should have 2 checkboxes in there, one labled phone audia, the other being media audio. Uncheck phone audio and you're set, although your music will...

As I remember, Google explained that key lime pie is too obscure a dessert and that Kit Kats were one of the favored snacks among the android team. There have been multiple leaks about the software still calling itself KLP, many figure Google did that to hide the Kit Kat deal.

Finally managed to play it online for a bit after the second patch. The city isn't quite as sparsely populated as I feared, but it's pretty bad. Thankfully the single player game is good enough that I don't care too much about online. Denamian on PSN if anyone wants to add me.

Unless you're on Google's whitelist for the Chromecast, you can't make an app to work with it.

Net10 does CDMA through Verizon and they're essentially the same as Straight Talk, as they're both run by Tracfone. I haven't had any complaints with Straight Talk. The only time I had to deal with their customer service (due to some bullshit about my number from Sprint) they were competent...

Well, that's pretty much what I meant by build a NAS. I've got the leftover parts from previous desktops that I intend to buy a few HDDs for and use it to store media and back up important stuff. Once I have that set up I'll buy a decent SSD for the desktop and just have a second drive in it...

Straight Talk has AT&T sims again, hell, you can get a sim that lets you on AT&T's LTE network where it's available. My old job used to have me driving around Vermont when I was on Sprint (mostly Rutland, Killington and Ludlow) and reception was very spotty. I've been out that way only once...

I would love to be able to do that, but my other drive is an old 320 gig and it's full, so I'd have to buy 2 drives. I've been wanting to build a NAS for a while now, but due to some unavoidable expenses I haven't had the money. A few more months and I'll have the last of my debts paid off and...

I didn't even think to look at the WD Blues. They haven't refreshed the WD Blacks in a while I take it?

I would but then I wouldn't have enough space without going over what I can afford right now. I plan on getting a SSD at some point, just not now.

The nexus 4 is still a great phone, I'm very happy with mine. The main complaints people have are that the battery life is on the mediocre side, it runs a bit warm and is a bit fragile due to being glass on both sides. Battery life can be improved with custom roms and kernels and depending on...

Until I read that last bit I was going to ask what sever that happened on, since I did the exact same thing on my first Agnarr raid. I was in a fairly casual guild at the time but had a friend in a raiding guild that would invite me along when they had an opening. The only other ranger there...

So the primary HD, a 640 GB WD black, in my desktop decided to shit itself today and is no longer detected. Swapped cables and ports and the platter is spinning, but I can't get any computer to detect it. I figured I'd check here if there were any drives that were particularly good or ones...

My first Fear raid in EQ would be my favorite. The first few hours of paranoia while we slowly cleared the roamers and desperately tried not to wipe the entire raid was so much fun. Hate would be a very close second, mainly since I spent so much time there and never got the goddammned emerald...

I wouldn't expect great things from it performance wise, but it's nice to see a relatively cheap tablet running full Windows 8 instead of that RT crap. Being able to run older windows programs is pretty much the only reason I'd consider a Windows tablet, otherwise I'd just get one running android.

The local Best buy had a bunch of Chromecasts on display when I took my mom out window shopping for tablets a few weeks ago and she decided to pick one up. I would have grabbed one as well, but since it doesn't do anything my PS3 can't already do, I decided to wait. Setup was incredibly easy...

Tarrant speaks the truth, SwiftKey is awesome. Since BBM is supposed to be released for android today, can anyone who's familiar with it give us a basic overview? I'll probably give it a try if I can figure out which app on the store is actually BBM and not some scam app. Does BBM do...

Whoops. They're going prepaid, which will reduce their bill significantly. It will also put them on AT&T's network, which has better coverage than Sprint, so it will need to be an AT&T compatible phone. Right now it looks like they're leaning towards seeing how much the Nexus 5 will be...
