if only the front glass is broken, on the s3 it can be fixed for as little as $5 to $20 if you’re willing to do it yourself.

But recently Google has been making OEMs to have their apps on there if they want to continue updating their android devices.

Weren’t they, from the very first inception of Android and not just recently, already required to do this to be Android-compatible?

Moreover, go to The Verge on Flipboard. Almost each page flip shows a full screen Virgin Mobile ad.

1) i probably am lucky to be surrounded by people who werent afraid to make the jump :) maybe it was a bonus that i had a bit of a large influence over my social groups.

2) its not only google employees, fanboys, news sites, blogs and youtube channels. you can say that all you want, but its not. dont exaggerate. unless i really didnt know that all my relatives worked for google :p

3) sure, i cant ask people i just met if i can add them on G+. may be good to keep it that way for me. also, millions don’t equate to few. more than one does not equal to nobody.

in short, just because you log in to a ghost town doesnt mean its the same for everyone. you expect that when you get on everyone and everything is already there, but in my case, i worked hard to get the people i want to jump to a more superior platform regardless of user base. ever since the launch of communities i expanded my network even more

i would just like to point out that even the sgt7 which was out before windows phone 7 was even released had developers and themers working on the ‘Hub UI’ for it, which basically looked like this. if im not mistaken they got the idea from the notion ink adam (memory is a bit rusty, unsure)

many websites have had a similar look even before MS had this zune look, and anyone could have come up with it. the statement that Samsung copied Microsoft is absurd. if they really did, they would have copied it down to the typography, the grid system (layout/margins/what have you), the flowing of elements, the transitions, and a whole lot more, that this design language that Microsoft came up with follows.

im not defending Samsung, but im saying there’s nothing wrong with it because anyone could have done it and there’s nothing wrong with that

on the nexus 10, i used to have three accounts before we got my deaf brother an ipad mini. the other was for guests who wanted to try it out (i never deleted it since i still get ‘strangers’ asking if they can have a look)

i have not experienced any slow downs, however what annoyed me was that if another user received a notification and ignored it, and i switched accounts, the LED notification still lit up.

i dont know how the multi-user feature works, but i would assume multitasking happens across all accounts. maybe some apps in other users start automatically.

Falcon Punch existed waaaaaaaaaaay before DotA. Also, it is called Walrus Punch, with Tuskar simply saying Falcon Punch in reference to Captain Falcon.

Still rocking my Nexus 10. Unit had light bleed, and the back creaks (but since putting it in a case it disappeared) — of course these two problems only showed themselves around the first 2 weeks. After that, I forgot they even existed.

As for apps — no problem. I use stock browser 50% of the time, I only have FB messenger app installed (chat heads ftw!) since there’s no tablet-optimized official FB app, I’m already covered by Plume for Twitter. G+ and Flipboard and a few games for the rest of the time. I also pair it with a BT mouse/KB from time to time and use splashtop2 to connect to my PC. Splashtop2’s windows 8 gestures is awesome too.

After the 4.2.2 update, it has never crashed on me, then again I never use Chrome nor Chrome Beta anymore. As for speed/video rendering, it can run Tom Lowe’s (search him, he’s awesome) 4K videos without a hitch.
