Fuck Fox News For Jacking Google’s GChat Sound
Fox News is a complete piece of shit. Way to steal from Google. I’m over here trying to watch their biased ass debate and all I hear is the GChat ding. How the hell am I supposed to know the difference between a real chat and their stupid sound. Whose bright idea was that nonsense
I ultimately turned this off because every politician is a moron no matter what. And the ones that are decent are ignored because they’re radically different from their party. That’s why political parties are a joke.
So I turned it off. Because they completely made fools out of the real people running
This Blog is SO Much Faster Now
Ever since I moved i]this blog off my piece of shit shared host on December 1st, I’ve had 0 downtime and the response time pretty much cut in half. See where the time decreases? That is me moving this to a dedivated VPS and lighttpd instead of a shared server and Apache.
Enjoyyy
I Guarantee You the Galaxy Nexus Won’t Be Released on the 15th
Latest rumors on the internets say this phone is going to be released on the 15h. I PROMISE you that won’t happen. It won’t even be out in 2011. Mark my words.
Congratulations, Verizon Wireless dickheads! I hope you enjoyed the most botched phone release in the history of mankind.This is taken straight from the page of how to NOT release a smartphone.
This fucking thing was supposed to be out before Black Friday. Then there were about 80 different rumors about other release dates, all of which have come and gone. PR stayed silent and rumors were going crazy. Then the phone gets shipped out to the Samsung Experience in NYC, and was forced to be removed. After that, it’s shipped to Best Buy and Radio Shack, but it’s ordered to be locked up.
Here’s an idea. Release a phone before Black Friday and push it throughout the holidays. Sales on this thing are going to SUCK because you don’t release something 10 days before Christmas.
So what’s the holdup? They were probably holding this phone back due to the following
- Promoting shittier phones instead (Droid Razr). Why? It’s Droid branded and that’s Verizon’s baby. They put all their shitware on it.
- LTE outage –4G was out for a bit
- Fighting with Google over Google Wallet – Verizon is like fuck off and we don’t want this shit on here because we want to develop our own inferior version of it. I respect Google for being more like Apple and being like “no bitches, this is a Google phone, stop fucking with it.”
- I guarantee you Verizon will never EVER release another pure Google phone again. Too much hassle. Why do that when they can just roll out inferior Droid branded Motorolas. They want the utmost control over everything. Only Apple can tell Big Red what to do. Everyone else – they don’t care about.
Overall, it only hurts consumers. So fuck all these big businesses.
Keep Wasting Money, Shitheads
Giz-How many drones can you lose in a month? Apparently not enough: the US Air Force lost another drone today, a General Atomics MQ-9 Reaper, this time on the Seychelles.According to the US embassy in Mauritius: “a U.S. Air Force remote-piloted MQ-9 crashed at the Seychelles International Airport in Mahe. The MQ-9 was not armed and no injuries were reported.”
It crashed where? TheSeychelles? Mahe? We have an embassy in where? Mauritius? The fuck is that? Let me get out my Google map…
I have some questions:
- Where the fuck are theSeychelles / Mahe? I’m well educated in geography and never heard of either.
- Why the fuck is a U.S drone flying around in some random assed place. We have no business
- How much did the drone cost. How about paying back our debt to China so they don’t take us over in 40 years instead of wasting millions of
- We should just let Asians build our technology. We obviously suck at life. Planes and shit can’t even stay in the air.
This is a waste of money. This fucking ignorant country needs to stop flying drones all around and crashing them, and instead startworryingabout how shitty things are here. Like the fact that the Galaxy Nexus launched in like 9 other countries before here. This second world shithole…
Galaxy Nexus – What Can Be Improved

So I had this phone for a little over a day and let me say that it is the most amazing device I’ve seen so far. It’s super fast. I never used mobile browsers because the pages loaded like crap. Not this phone. Things pop instantly. It can handle javascript intense pages and runs the SunSpider benchmark faster than my dad’s desktop. I thought Face Unlock was going to be a complete gimmick (especially since it failed so hard during the Google demo) but it works REALLY well in all types of light and with or without glasses. The screen is amazing. Blacks are pure black. Absolutely no white light leakage. I had the device out in broad daylight and I saw the screen perfectly with no issues at all. It never froze once and it multitasks like a champ. I can switch from Angry Birds to Words with Friends, send a text, read an email and then continue playing -with no lag at all. If I tried to switch apps like that on the original Droid, I’d be here all day. Overall, it’s a sleek looking device that just works.
So anyway, being a tech dude and critical about everything, here are a list of cons. Note that these are the only flaws I can find, and everything else is pretty much perfect (for me at least). They might seem annoying, but I would recommend this over any other Android phone out there.
Keyboard Lag– When I type really quickly on the keyboard, it takes a while for the text to appear. When I say a while, I mean about .25 to .5 seconds. Very minor, butnoticeable. Not bad at all. Despite the lag, it is extremely easy to type on due to the big screen. Maybe in the 4.0.3 update, they will improve the lag issue, but it’s no big deal.
Screen Orientation lag – It literally takes about 2 seconds from the time you turn your phone until the time the screen rotates. Grr
Volume Keys Stick Out and Press Too Easily– The volume keys are on the left side of the phone and stick out too much. Maybe it’s the way I hold it, but I’m always pushing them by accident.
Status Light is barely a status light – It’s this big white circle that fades on and off about once every 8 seconds. A status light should be a quick, frequent blink. Props to Morotola for getting the blinking green status light right on the original Droid.
The Camera – Yes, the camera is grainy in low light. Yes, it doesn’t have an 8MP sensor (who cares – it’s all about the quality of the sensor). But with a flash and steady hand or in daylight, it is much better than your average phone camera.
The Battery Life – This is Verizon’s fault. 4G LTE is a battery hog. From when I unplugged it at 8am to 10AM when I walked into my office, it was at 80% battery, and this was with moderate use of 4g for about 5 minutes reading my news feed, and standard twitter checks. It’s not like i was streaming video or I had the screen on for 2 hours straight.
People say it feels like cheap plastic? I don’t have that issue.
