If you get a chance at IO could you ask Google about documenting and opening up the dock conector on Nexus Devices two third party developers and hobbyists?

Am I the only one that get's the feeling that 99.999% of all political social media posts are cases of people actively preaching to the choir? 
I swear that people post things only to be told how right they are and to reinforce their world view. There seems to be no trying to convince anybody with information to change their opinion, just insults and attempts to get other true believers to agree with them.

+Jessica Dolcourt Okay I am really mad at Sprint. Port St. Lucie does not have LTE coverage of huge sections of the city. What is worse is when you go Sprints coverage map they say those areas do have coverage! This is just not right. If you want I can do speedtests with GPS locations in the city and show what liars they are.

+Jerry Hildenbrand Listened to your podcast and I have to agree with you about the HTC one and frankly all phones. Phone makers have got to stop this Anorexic design language. I think the HTC One would have been a better phone if they had made it a bit thicker and had put a bigger battery in it. I am a fan of removable batteries and memory cards but that would be difficult with the unibody on the HTC One at best.  Like the show you old HTC, Samsung, Palm, Nokia fanboi... Just take your pick.

Just upgraded my Macbook Pro to 16 gigabytes of ram for all of $62.99 from Amazon http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B006DI9PG8/ref=oh_details_o00_s00_i00
Yes it works and it makes everything much faster and it qualifies for prime shipping.

Is there a launcher or app that allows me to pick different widgets to be displayed in landscape than in portrait on my home screens? I would love to set up my homescreen one way for normal use and another for when I have it set up charging at night.

#iPadMini Am I the only one wondering if the iPad Mini will have Siri? I am betting that it will not since they did not demo it and the iPad2 does not support Siri. If that is the case then the Nexus 7 not only has a lower price tag, higher resolution screen, faster cpu,  and just as good battery life it will also have support for all the voice functions that Google Now offers while the iPad Mini will be without Siri.

Why should I pay the same price for an Ebook as I do for a paperback? 
Dear publishers you do not have pay for shipping or printing the ebook. You do let me lend it to as many people as I want to like I can a paperback. You do let me trade it in or sell it at a used book store!
An eBook should cost a lot less than a paperback since it actually should offer the publisher larger profits.
In other words your current pricing really makes people do searches for pdfs of your books on pirate sites. If an eBook was a lot cheaper than a paper back you would avoid that.

Went to +BrandsMart USA  today to buy a cable modem for my mother in law. WORST CUSTOMER SERVICE EVER! Finally asked the person in TVs where I could find a wireless cable modem. She asked me, "What do you want to connect it to?" Ummm the cable line coming out of the wall, a computer, and the power outlet? When she finally showed them to me I asked her if they carried the one with wifi. She told me that you couldn't get that! Yes you can it is the called the Motorola Surfboard with WiFi. She told me that I had to get a WiFi router and hook it up. While that will work you do not have to do that. Then Comcast guy came over and tried to get us to rent one with Wifi... He did finally tell the woman that there was such a thing as a Cable Modem with wifi but at that point I just wanted to run out of the store. WOW and I thought Best Buy was bad. BTW drove to +Best Buy ,found the modem myself anddid... more »

So here is the question. Wouldn't the iPhone 5 had been a better phone if they had kept the same thickness but used the thinner parts to allow for a bigger battery and NFC? Even if you think NFC is not needed wouldn't a bigger battery be better than a marginal shrink in thickness? Did people really say "I like the iPhone 4s but it is just too thick?" And has anyone ever said, "man my phone has way too much battery life, I wish it would die so I could recharge it."
Sure get rid of the glass back because lets face it that was a bad idea but aren't phones thin enough and all lacking in battery life. Can you ever have too much battery life in a phone?

I think there are a good number of people in the Middle East do not understand how the US works. On some Islamic websites I have seen people demanding that.
a. President Obama apologize for this anti-Islamic video.
and
b. Ban the video.
Do they not understand that the President has no control over videos people make unless they involve the abuse of children?

Wow Apple is in trouble. No iPad mini but the new iPod touch costs more than the Nexus 7, Kindle HD, and the big Kindle HDs. The iPhone has a bigger screen like... All the Android phones... And is, wait for it... it is thinner. Oh and a new iPod Nano with a bigger screen, bluetooth, and FM radio. Wow this is going to get everybody talking about how Apple's best days are over. Good news is the 4s is now only 99 and the 4 is now free.
Other than that yawn. To bad because the nano if it was 99 would have been  hot. I can see it selling to motorcyclists, cyclists, or anyone that wants bluetooth streaming or headphones.

So does anyone else have dreams that Google will buy TMobile and maybe Sprint? They could make their own phones with Motorola and not be held hostage to the carriers. Maybe they could actually drive some changes in the mobile market. I am sure that you could get any phone on a Sprint carrier that any manufacture wanted to make and use any OS that they offered. Oh and Sprint we do want you to be an ISP and CATV company just try and make your customer service as good as Amazons.

It has been more than 30 days so when will my Sprint Galaxy Nexus get the update. Please do not tell me that it is up to Sprint because I will promise you that that Sprint will say it is up too you. Hey you put the Nexus brand name on it so it is supposed to get updates. And for goodness sake stop treating updates as some kind of National secret!  If they are in testing tell us. If there are problems tell us! BUT DO NOT SIT LIKE THE SPHINX because that is evil.

As I get older I see more and more evidence that allowing comments on most web sites is a terrible idea. They make me feel that the world is populated by way too many stupid people that think they know everything. Between the comments on CNN and YouTube it drains me of all hope for humanity.
