10 cent Android apps for nine more days (including today). Mostly games, but there's some utilitarian stuff in there as well.
Gunn: The final score can't be rigged. I don't care how many players you grease, that last shot always comes up a question mark. But here's the thing. You never know when you're taking it. It could be when you're duking it out with the Legion of Doom, or just crossing the street deciding where to have brunch. So you just treat it like it was up to you—the world in balance—'cause you never know when it is.

I've rooted my Cliq, and I'm currently installing CM 7.1 on it. I am very curious.
OMG. For a moment there I had a brick. But it's looking like a valid bootup screen.
The step I missed was putting the CM update file on the SD card before I started the process. I ended up having to switch out to the SD card to one I'd quickly copied it out onto, but other than that, just fine.
What made it simplest of all was the one click rooting.
Unfortunately I don't think I can do that with the G2. And I don't know if I want to root the tablet.
Fuck, CM looks like a dream on this stupid phone that was overloaded with Motorola bloatware. I'm going to fiddle with dressing it up as a backup phone for a while. This could be fun.
I mean, if I'm not going to be sleeping, I might as well achieve something.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
I hope this is a joke:
CES 2012: Behringer unveils 8-foot wide, 10,000-watt iPod dock
We've checked the specs and we've checked the date, but it seems German audio company Behringer really has announced an 8-foot wide, 10,000-watt iPod/iPhone dock. Yes, that's an iPhone on top of the dock.
The iNuke Boom weighs over 315kg, stands 4-feet tall and will set you back a not inconsiderable $30,000. And looks utterly crazy.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
Sounds to me more like a dare. Whoever designed it gets $5 from the guy who said "You'll never get anyone to buy that."

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
Unfortunately, audiophiles have their own version of Poe's Law. It's impossible to distinguish parody from the real thing.

Coding and Sleeping
Has anyone used tracfone for their cell service? Neither my wife nor I rack up many minutes (she averages about 120, I average about 50) on our cell phones and I'm usually near a wireless network so I don't have much need for data. It looks like we could save a significant amount of money going with a prepaid service even with our current super secret unavailable low-cost Verizon plan.

Because books.
Gud, I use Net10, which works fine, and my husband just got a Virgin Android that's no contract -- it has the 3G and Wifi and all that.
They've been fine for us, and you really can control what you spend. My phone doesn't do the web really at all (which I would like to change eventually), but for texting and calling, it's cheap. I can get 300 minutes for $30 and make it last two months or more.

If you don't mind a little initial disruption, I can't recommend Google Voice enough to minimise texting and calling costs. I haven't streamlined it *perfectly* for my purposes, but that's because I want my phone to read my texts out and shit. But I've dropped huge amounts off my monthly bills as a result, both landline and mobile.

I use tracphone I also have paid skype at 35 per year, because I got a groupon that let me do the setup to use skype over a landline rather than only on a computer included in the 35. After that expires it does look like google voice is better.
