Got a question about technology? Ask it here. Discussion of hardware, software, TiVos, multi-region DVDs, Windows, Macs, LINUX, hand-helds, iPods, anything tech related. Better than any helpdesk!
Chrome on his phone?
I got the phone up long enough to back up a couple directories and then did a factory reset. I'll spend the next couple days putting it back together, but at least it's not softbricked anymore.
I love when Gizmodo goes off the rails. I mean, I'm sure there's some truth to the assertions, etc, but I love how they lead with the click bait.
the comments are a menagerie of WTF
Isn't it a rule that comments will always be a menagerie of WTF?
Do we have feelings about temporary or throwaway emails? I want to get rid of some things on Craigslist. Ridiculously I've used one of my address for Freecycle but that stuff can be just left outside and if it doesn't disappear, email the next contestant. I want cash monies for a few of these items.

Thank you!
FWIW, I like 33mail.com quite a bit.
I had a weak moment. I found a cheap HP Touchpad, and I bought it.
This makes four tablets I've handled--the iPad, Galaxy Tab, Thrive, and the Touchpad. I'm startled by how much the form factor varies between the first two and the latter two, but if I'd used either of them first, I wouldn't be thinking much about it.
The Thrive especially feels like it's supposed to feel that size. But the Touchpad is finished like the Tab or the iPad, so it feels oddly thick.
However, OS oops! What's integrated with WebOS looks plenty slick. I'm not mad at the OS. But, oh, mass developer support is what it's all about. Because I can't find anything else. This stock calendar is prettier than anything I've seen on iOS or Android, but there's nothing else to run on it! Anything I'm curious about, comes at cost.
My plan is to use it as a media player, and yeah, I was probably going to dual boot CM9 anyway, but I did want to see how far I could go to that end in WebOS, and...nope. Still looking for an AVI player. I found uPNP, but I've been storing in AVI for Android this whole time. So far, I don't even think I can play the same formats on both tablets.
So maybe I'll be installing CM9 sooner than I'd thought.
Talk to me about the Kindle. I'm debating between the touch version and the base model. (I have an iPad so I don't see a need for the Fire, and I'm not a big note taker so I don't think the keyboard option is needed either - but if I'm missing something let me know.
The one advantage I see on the touch is the 3G capability. But from a use standpoint, anyone have strong opinions on the base v. the touch?
