I was going to post one article but I figured the google search would be even better. Here's an endless list of articles explaining why you shouldn't use a task killer. (mainly, for the first iterations of android it was helpful but now it can actually hurt your battery life) http://www.google.com/search?q=why+you+shouldn't+use+a+task+killer&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&hl=en&client=safari

I have a GPS app that I bought. It was $50 which seems insane for an app. Honestly some of the best money I've spent. I know droid has a FREE turn by turn gps(which I used before finally switching back to my beloved iPhone) but the reason I love the one I have is that is uses the phones GPS ONLY. It doesn't use the radios at all, which every other gps app I've used has, at least somewhat. So, good luck driving through WV. Anyway, the app also has automatic traffic updates and will say "there's traffic ahead in 2 miles. You can save 11 minutes with a different route. Would you like to do so?". I love that! Anyway, the app (of course) is a battery hog. So this tip of closing apps has helped because while it's in my car and I'm driving it's plugged in but just hitting the home button would leave it running in the background and chewed up my battery. This tip "kills" the app.

To "shut it off" double click the home button. A row of all running apps will show at the bottom and you can scroll to the right to see more. To fully close, hold the icon til it shakes and click the little red circle on the corner. This is similar to the action of deleting an app from the home screen but all this does is stop it from running. Click the home button again to close the bottom drawer. Also, when that drawer is open you can swipe to the left once to get to your music controls and rotation lock. Swipe again to get to screen brightness and air play feature.

Choose whichever response you'd like: 1) It's a 6 year old kid hopped up on pain meds. I've seen very intelligent people act like giant 2 year olds when under anesthesia. OR 2) 1994 called. They want the use of a statement followed by "...not!" back as a terrible attempt of humor/sarcasm.

Wow. Overreact much? It's not an opinion that libraries are a dying institution.

Further proving the definition of the word "some."

Nope. Neither unlocked or rooted. I can explain the entire process but basically google released the full CDMA build a 4.0.4 a week ago (google around you can find it. All my links were on that phone). Google released it and I flashed it. Again took 5 hours. I could have done it in 20 minutes if I rooted the phone but chose not to as I knew I might get rid of it. Anyway, it was the official build. I will say it made the camera better. It also changes the power button to allow you to mute the phone. It sped up the screen rotation. It also made the multitask drawer faster. But by noon yesterday still needed the 2nd battery. Can't say enough how I will now know I will stick with iPhone for the foreseeable years to come. Link:

Funny you posted this today. I upgraded to 4.0.4 two days ago. Took me about 5 hours but got it done It did nothing for battery life or signal. I am typing this from my iPhone 4s which I finally went back to and am SO happy I did. Carrying two batteries is unacceptable and I had to do that daily. The random switch from 3G to 4G sucked. Back in happy non-customizable world of iPhone. Making us wait for 6 months for 4.0.4 that fixed nothing was enough for me. Luckily the manager at Verizon took my 7 years of service and the fact that he agreed with me about the issues and switched me back for free.

So I can buy a used PS3 and get the ticket for $200? Well, that beats the ever living crap outta the "streams". I have to get this!

Is everyone who's picking robo RB missing the fact that he does NOT guarantee a 1st down? The OP put 2.49 for a reason. If it was 2.50 then every person who's ever watched football picks the RB. BUT 2.49 means you have to pass, or use another RB at some point. 2.49 yards on 4 attempts is .04 yards short of a 1st down.

The coolest thing about WNY is being able to say "I used to live in WNY "

I !@#$ing love this thread and I'm not sure why. That said, Robo-Punter. No question.

The wife and I went to the movies every Tuesday for months. Then as someone above mentioned decided to change to dinner (sushi normally) and watch movies on the 65" at home. Any snacks you want, no puke "kids" making noise and my couch beats any movie theatre seat. Money better spent on raw fish.

Any guesses as to who just purchased that domain? Ground up.

Not obscure but a surprisingly low number of people have seen it: True Romance. My dogs name, Alabama, came from that movie. One of my favorites of all time. As mentioned above, if you haven't seen grandmas boy, its hilarious. I mainly watch documentaries. Pulling John was OK (an arm wrestling doc) but if you like documentaries and haven't seen "King of Kong: a Fistfull of quarters", you're missing out.

Wow, I've never seen more people who clearly know nothing about a topic (sports gambling) giving their advice/thoughts on a topic.

I don't get it.

Since the wife and I finished all of Rescue Me (which I'm still bummed is over) we picked a new one, called The Rich's. About of family of "travelers" (in other words thieves, wanderers, gypsies) who by an unusual circumstance obtain a multimillion dollar home and have to take on the lives of the previous owners. Only a few episodes in but I really enjoy it. And I really enjoy Minnie Driver.

I'm of the mindset that a man over 30 should never wear a Jersey in public. That said, I would feel like I was wearing the scarlet letter wearing a non-Bills Jersey.

We've now addressed every single need. What an offseason!

Exactly. No idea why anyone would be opposed to this. VY >>>>>>> TT

In all fairness that is BURIED as the very first post for the entire day.

Don't believe even the search feature would have helped here.

Homerism at its finest. I saw one no to big Ben. I saw all no's to Hasselbeck? You all watched the second half of last season, no? Oh but I forgot.. when I bring up that he was hurt during that time and that's why we need a new backup, I get told he was OK to play and it had nothing to so with how god-awful thigpen is. Can't have it both ways boys. Either Fitz is really the first half QB or the second half. He was either badly hurt and we have a POS backup and need a new one, or he wasn't hurt and just sucks under any pressure of success. No to big Ben. You've got to be !@#$ing kidding me.

Well played.
