in there is a breakdown of how much space is used on the phone by what app ~ as well as current charge, time since last charged, etc. iCloud storage, minutes used lifetime and current billing cycle, although you have to manually reset it every month.

when you grow up, you can try the real game on Legendary(Inferno).
either way, i found this game short. and don’t consider replaying to figure out my new abilities to be all that exciting, but we shall see! maxing our professions is something i don’t (and i think i’m not alone, although idk about the majority) enjoy. It’s much less satisfying than killing hordes of demons.

I guess it comes down to you thinking that the continued gaining of powers makes the content that you’ve played twice already fresh again. A Yes for you, and No for me. (i’ll probably do it anyway on a particularly rainy day or three)
again, we could have had this back and forth without name calling. Try it out one day.

yeah and i don’t think the 4 hours 22 min is nearly possible unless you’ve played the game enough to know exactly what you’ve got to do next etc.

i know it’s difficult, but if you want to continue to talk to me, you’ll have to stop using insults.
the game itself, told me i completed it, and then asked me to do it all again on a harder level.
Serious question, are boss mechanics different? Or just more HP? Or is it a blend like Wow on heroic bosses (adds HP and maybe one extra ability) Cause i don’t think completing the same thing 3 times just on different difficulty is fun.
again ~ i didn’t set anything to “easy” I just made a toon, and played until it said the game was over. I would imagine this is typical of most players. (i never played diablo 1 or 2) Considering how long ago the game came out, and you can’t beat it in any other mode until you complete this one, i’m at a loss as to why you think this makes me weak and pathetic,
but i digress and will leave that to your ultimate video game knowledge. You truly are, the king of kong!

And here i thought normal meant normal. I don’t really care, i don’t play video games obsessively (anymore ~ i was in a top 20 us 10m guild in wow, before i realized how many stupid hours i was wasting)
anyway, i’m on nightmare now, as that’s where it sends you when your done. Enjoy being elitist about video games, if that’ makes you feel better about yourself:D

yeah, i was pretty upset by that too.
even with leaving to go smoke, do other chores and being booted for inactivity (in a freaking SP game)
i could only rack up 17 hour on my monk before basically seeing everything (besides more randomized dungeons)

Why would you need satellite view in a GPS app? I always thought it was a terrible idea. Adding a ton of detail will just keep you staring at your GPS for longer.
waze has real crowd sourced traffic data, and is a massive massive plus for me, and my go to GPS when traveling in my native NYC, or any other cities.
I just think the view point of comparing it to gmaps as a benchmark are wrong. gmaps isn’t a stand alone GPS app, it’s a map app that evolved into having GPS features.
so when you say “why doesn’t it have this map app feature” i think something along the lines of “why isn’t infinity blade a twitter client?” (and keep in mind, there are several maps applications for iOS as well.

also, you should check out iPhoto for iOS, it would be a good example for you to see, as it’s “Share” feature supports whatever is installed on your iPad, which seems to be the way they are going forward. Here’s a list of app’s it can export too:
cam roll
itunes
print
twitter
flickr
Facebook
email
“beam” (between two iOS devices via wifi)
While i believe / applaud your trying to make this as even as possible, i think you need a metric ton more research before being ready to report about it in such a fashion.

what infuriates me is in iOS 5.0.1 you were able to have these short cuts from the springboard. Apple intentionally disabled this, (in 5.1) and i have no idea why.

it’s one button to turn on flash in photon. i’ll take screenshots of the daily show playing perfectly later for you. I want you to give iOS a fair shake too, which is why it makes me sigh when you said the daily show was blank, it’s litterally one button.
my advice? use the strength of the platform, it’s apps. as a dual platform user myself i can tell you it’s the best thing about ios by far. Especially apps that are dual platform like plex, and icam, although there are some execeptions, as gmaps, is far better on android. (ie plex didn’t support PTZ cams on android for a good 6 months, and still doesn’t play nice with anything but 64kbps streaming audio. (annoying)
the review seems like a very android take on the two OSs.

well, you can’t really compare it’s customizability to widgets, it’s kinda a apples to oranges thing imo ~ but in terms of controlling what actually talks to you and takes up your notification space, you can get all your twitter messages, and custom notifications (like from my ip cam setup for example) on a time line. It’s nice.
the button you are correct, is small, however i don’t have a problem hitting it, and honestly i would think if it’s a big enough problem for people apple wouldn’t have a massive problem changing it.

you can, but it makes no sense on devices that come with 16gb of storage. I have a VNC server on my idevices, doesn’t mean it’s all that practical.

yeah, it’s not the ATV. (airplay doesn’t get that reputation from being bad.)
What’s your network like? 802.11b or g? What type of router? I would think it’s a network throughput issue.
