Ok, the Note 3 is a big HELL YES from me. I'm not a huge fan of the faux-leather back, but that SCREEN! And at least the plastic fake leather is more comfortable to hold than Apple's sharp metal/glass corners. (Which I've hated ever since I upgraded to the iPhone 4. The 3/3gs was so much more comfortable to hold.)
Oh, wow. This place looks great. Oh, I feel like a witch in a magic shop.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Woot! Hopefully I can settle for vicarious Note 3 thrills and just love my perfectly fine Nexus longer.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
I've been tasked with finding this cable [link] with black and white conductors instead of black & red. Any ideas on how to conduct that search? Usually cable descriptions only include the jacket color, not the conductors. Audio peeps?

Plants vs Zombies 2 isn't out for Android yet?? They need to fix that by my birthday or I will go into severe withdrawal. Per the interwebs, it's available in Australia but not the US. FIX IT, POPCAP.
All the other apps I use regularly seem to have either exact Android counterparts or good options for replacements.
Hopefully I won't decide after a week that it's too big to hold comfortably in one hand on the subway. (But the GS4 and HTC One are both very nice phones too, if so.)

Learnt about the Note today--the Samsung keyboard has a setting that crowds all the keys to one side to make it theoretically more easy to type one-handed.
How does that work, Note-users?

Halp. CJ has lost his iPhone, probably in the parking lot near our dojo. While I had downloaded Find My Phone, apparently we never fully set it up, so I can't track it that was. Is there another way to find it by GPS?

omnis, pursue. That's an order from a shy woman who can use M-16. - Shir

SuziQ, do you two have "Find My Friend" app installed? It's a little "big brothery", but it's handy. Especially in times like this.

No, we don't omnis. In the morning, I'll text it with my phone number and hope someone calls. The phone is locked, so they can't just get in the contacts to find last called or something.
He has a sticker on the back that references deaf students. While he isn't deaf, he takes ASL as his foreign language. Anyway, I'm just hoping it will deter someone from being a thief and be helpful in returning the phone.

Can you read a text on a locked iPhone?

If you have your notifications set to show texts on the locked screen, then yes. And he does.
