  1. Yesterday was Arizona's centennial as a state! Happy birthday Arizona!
  2. @EggKo Thanks! Happy New Year to you too! I was going to wait until tomorrow, but you beat me to it. :) I just posted on your Facebook wall.

  4. Only real issues: power drain, losing wifi connection, camera only works for video conferencing, sound buttons change ringer volume, not sys
  5. The Cyanogenmod Android alpha build for the Touchpad is pretty great. Never used Android before, but it's better than WebOS. Much faster.
  6. Also, I can't imagine Apple still selling an iPhone 3GS, a 4S, and a 5. Too many models = too much customer confusion.
  7. Another prediction: There will not be a general iOS 5 release tomorrow, held off until new iPhone goes on sale in few weeks. Maybe new beta.
  8. The current UI is too jarring & ugly. How about black or dark transparent w/ drop shadows, animations, etc. Perhaps add functionality too.
  9. I feel like the new iOS 5 top notification bar looks unfinished. The current white UI looks like a placeholder. Not very Apple-like.
  10. I bet Apple won't release an iOS 5 GM to devs before the announcement, probably because they've altered the UI or added undisclosed new feat
  11. Netflix streaming? It doesn't make sense. If every DVD Netflix had (or at least 80%+) was available for streaming, I'd understand.
  12. To see the other 87 out of 100 movies, I still need DVD service. I don't think this is uncommon. So why are people dropping DVDs in favor of
  13. I don't mind streaming, but when only 13 out of the top 100 films on my queue are available for streaming, why should I pay (extra) for it?
  14. I don't get why people are so hyped on Netflix streaming, and Netflix saying DVD accounts are declining (thus the reason for Qwikster).

  16. Wow, ASU won! Go ASU! First win against a ranked team in years.
