  - I'm loving my Nexus 7. -- nm - sycor Aug 24, 11:54
  - I really want a smaller one. with winter commute coming it'd be super convenient. -- nm - amanda Aug 24, 11:51 17
    - I like the bigger screen for netflixing -- nm - decline Aug 24, 11:52 16
      - I have my ipad and the MBA for that. plus obvs TV. I'm not generally mobile places with internet without some onboarded way of watching - amanda Aug 24, 11:56 15
        
        *cough*nexus7*cough* -- nm - sycor Aug 24, 11:59
        
        I love my KF for those things. - spamlet Aug 24, 11:58 13
        
        I worry some too about re-buying apps. like, no way can I live without my scrabs, but I don't favor paying for them again on android. - amanda Aug 24, 12:00 12
        
        I think Scrabs is only like two bucks (or maybe it was a deal at some point) - spamlet Aug 24, 12:17 10
        
        yeah, I get that it's uncostly. but I feel like apple has me by the toes because I have all their damn apps already. - amanda Aug 24, 12:33 4
        
        Yup. We'll see what the new iPhone brings but there might be a fight brewing (again) in our house over this. -- nm - spamlet Aug 24, 12:34 3
        
        we were talking about this last night at trivia. none of us really like the new (rumored, whatever) shape of the iphone. like, why so skinny, yo? - amanda Aug 24, 12:51 2
        
        I can buy an unlocked Android device for travel purposes and have only one phone. - spamlet Aug 24, 13:00
        
        I hear problems with iphones *way* more than I hear problems with droids. -- nm - Spawn Aug 24, 12:54
        
        uh, if you buy on Amazon you can put it on all your android devices - decline Aug 24, 12:19 2
        
        You can? I thought it was a separate branch? - spamlet Aug 24, 12:20 1
        
        Yeah, amazon purchases go in my Acer tab and phone. -- nm - Spawn Aug 24, 12:21
        
        Oh, and I think you can do the library borrow thing just fine from the Kindle app and don't need the Kindle (if that's a concern). -- nm - spamlet Aug 24, 12:18 1
        
        you can lend books to others who have the app, but you must have prime and a kindle device to borrow from Amazon -- nm - decline Aug 24, 12:21
        
        you can only borrow with a Kindle (not the app) -- nm - decline Aug 24, 12:01
  - Yeah, I would wait. -- nm - spamlet Aug 24, 11:51 1
    - yeah, I just hope my screen doesn't completely conk out in the next couple of weeks :) -- nm - decline Aug 24, 12:02

    - get crackin' ... you writer's need to stick together! -- nm - JenBro Aug 24, 12:27 1

- nmbINDY - Epiphany Aug 24, 11:47 1

  - heh -- nm - Andie Aug 24, 11:37 1
    - I would have zero problem spending that money.....*downloads Amazon Video Store* - Will Hunting Aug 24, 11:45
- well, it does have a Wildside jar -- nm - decline Aug 24, 11:34
Guigue's point is correct. It's the only reason Google+ isn't the go-to. - JaxSean Aug 24, 11:31 12
- I don't use Google+ because I like to compartmentalize. I don't necessarily want everything linked together. -- nm - Dano Aug 24, 11:57 1
  - [deleted]
- Google's long term mistake is going to be that it wants it embedded in everything. It's too invasive. Using Google+ as a social network means you've - oblique Aug 24, 11:48
- The only reason I use Google+ is marcel's posts. -- nm - Mop (196 lbs) Aug 24, 11:47 3
  - heh. I tied my Google+ into Flipboard the other day and for a long time had a tile showing a plethora of naked ass - oblique Aug 24, 11:49 2
    - heh. mine too. -- nm - JaxSean Aug 24, 12:00
    - Google+! The place for quality porn! - Mop (196 lbs) Aug 24, 11:51
- Google+ is one hot game away from destroying FB. -- nm - Mel Profit Aug 24, 11:36 4
  - nah, unless Google develops it themselves it will be on FB first -- nm - Beaker Aug 24, 11:37 3
    - development aside, my point still stands. - Mel Profit Aug 24, 11:39 2
      - Mafia Wars is still around?? - amoxy Aug 24, 11:50 1
        
        Duh! -- nm - Stacy si Aug 24, 11:51
~Well this is not for real, afraid to feel. I just hit the floor don't ask for more~ - Epiphany Aug 24, 11:28 3

    - Thanks. Will search later. -- nm - JaxSean Aug 24, 12:06
I can easily envision Eli being MVP this year. -- nm - David Aug 24, 11:27 9
- This isn't a discussion of who's the better player or has a better shot at MVP. It's Fantasy Points. -- nm - Strongbad Aug 24, 11:33 7
  - I didn't realize that. Even so, he's probably a 5k passer this year. -- nm - David Aug 24, 11:37 6
    - I was just saying that I have more faith in Eli duplicating or improving his stats than I do Cam. - Jim Aug 24, 11:41 3
      - Injury or offensive line struggles are the only thing could slow him. His talent is unique. -- nm - David Aug 24, 12:01
      - [deleted] 1
        
        ditto -- nm - Beaker Aug 24, 11:55
    - Right....but given Cam's rushing TD ability - 10 rushing TDs = 60 points...which in BF means Eli needs - Will Hunting Aug 24, 11:40 1
      - I absolutely think Cam is a premiere fantasy player. Eli is a better football player. -- nm - David Aug 24, 11:52
- Maybe -- but do you see him taking a leap-stat wise overall - Will Hunting Aug 24, 11:30
Wait... all the injured bystanders in that NY shooting... were hit by cops? -- nm - Mop (196 lbs) Aug 24, 11:22 20
- No, this is the latest update. - GregW Aug 24, 11:39 1
  - It also says he was laid off a year ago. The guy certainly had patience. -- nm - GregW Aug 24, 11:58
- Notice the words "some" and "may have." -- (link) - mara Aug 24, 11:38
- Sorry, but this sounds like bullshit to me. Premature, at the very least. -- nm - mara Aug 24, 11:34 1
  - I was gonna say, I think it will take a lot of investigation to work that out. -- nm - loosilu Aug 24, 11:47
- what? that would mean everyone but the shooter was shot by cops -- nm - dogbert Aug 24, 11:26 12
  - The shooter almost certainly shot his former supervisor. -- nm - mara Aug 24, 11:41 1
    - Maybe the keyword here is "bystander". The shooter's intended victims weren't bystanders. -- nm - loosilu Aug 24, 11:48
  - Maybe the shooter was a cop? Clearly this Obama at work, yet again. -- nm - Spawn Aug 24, 11:33 9
    - It's been years since the last beer summit. Of course tensions are running high. -- nm - Dr.Vermin Aug 24, 12:11
    - Just wait till you find out that it was actually Obama wearing a cop uniform who was the shooter. -- nm - Will Hunting Aug 24, 11:35 7
      - if they would just let everyone walk around nyc with guns this wouldn't have happened -- nm - dogbert Aug 24, 11:38 5
        
        I thought they did let everyone walk around NYC armed. - Will Hunting Aug 24, 11:43 4
        
        define let -- nm - Plaxico Burress Aug 24, 11:47 1
        
        They only check when you cheddar bob yourself, dumbass. -- nm - Will Hunting Aug 24, 11:48
        
        But not with large soft drinks. -- nm - Spawn Aug 24, 11:44 1
        
        Well, when the shooting starts, super big gulps explode everywhere, and then people are firing blind...... - Will Hunting Aug 24, 11:47
      - Exactly! And Obama clones dressed as cops chasing him, and shooting the spectators. - Spawn Aug 24, 11:37
- "some" is what I heard, but I haven't ready any news reports on the story. -- nm - Beryllium Aug 24, 11:24
- really? where did you see that? (that's horrible if true) -- nm - Andie Aug 24, 11:23
Speaking of social, Zynga is losing top talent now as well as stock price -- (link) - oblique Aug 24, 11:22 8
- LYC: Jeff Gordon will be running a FarmVille themed #24 car at Dover in September. -- (link) - Strongbad Aug 24, 11:28
- It'd be refreshing if they actually built a new game vs. using the same model over and over with different themes. -- nm - Strongbad Aug 24, 11:26 6
  - I hate that when I log into poker on the site, it gives me a popup that I can't get rid of for some other game. - spamlet Aug 24, 11:36 2
    - I gave up on Zynga Poker last week. Built my bankroll up to $50M and lost it all on a huge bad beat vs. a bot. -- nm - Strongbad Aug 24, 11:46 1
      - Yeah, I just usually play sit and go tournaments on my phone. - spamlet Aug 24, 12:00
  - When it ain't broken......... -- nm - Will Hunting Aug 24, 11:27 2
    - Based on their stock price, I'd wager that something is broken -- nm - Strongbad Aug 24, 11:28 1
      - I don't know if that's something broken in the company or something broken in the valuations. - Will Hunting Aug 24, 11:31
kilbo: Ick. - Beryllium Aug 24, 11:22 1
- heh. I imagine though that's what it's truly all about at Facebook and why they can be profitable even if they never see a dime from a user -- nm - oblique Aug 24, 11:22
Let's go Red Wings! -- nm - spamlet Aug 24, 11:20 1
