Sirius NFL Radio primary, on TV secondarily.

Ah, thats likely the case, my family members who use iOS haven't asked me for help in a while lol.

Correct, iOS doesn't support OTA updates.

I don't need it per say, but I sure as hell enjoy the convenience.

It's a pretty campus, I was just up that way a couple weeks ago. I got to check out the Five Points area and went to a pub called the Publick House that claims they have good wings (they don't), but they had some good local beer. Columbia seemed like a weird town, where you have some business professionals, retirees, and college students all hanging out at the same bars in five points. Kinda cool, though. There's a local burger place called Rockaway's Athletic Club that is unmarked, but has a pretty good pimento cheeseburger.

Ah yeah, the Nexus series usually gets it.

Both, but you won't get the improvements on most older phones due to carriers / hardware limitations / etc

Because it doesn't cost anything to produce and gets them clicks.

Don't tell me what to do.

You're the worst person EVER!

Congrats Mr. Greg! Great work.

There are essentially three types of value in the draft: player, historical, and intradraft. The idea of draft value for a player itself is pretty simple. It's a combination of: 1.) difficulty to acquire position 2.) Impact of position 3.) likely short-term impact of a player 4.) likely long-term impact of a player 5.) risk associated with a player From there, you can compare these factors with previous years at a particular position to understand the value of a draft pick this year versus other years. When draftniks talk about draft pick "value", this is really what they are talking about. Historically, does the #10 pick afford a player that's extremely strong in all the areas listed above, and will that player likely be available at that spot this year? This is what McShay is talking about with value. There's also a comparative value within a particular draft. If people recognize a player has the talent / production / etc to be a top pick, but falls for whatever reason (team needs, for example), that can provide intradraft value.

I think Brittany Greiner is Shaq's son.

You can turn that off on Android in the signature options under the email account settings.

I don't see replaceable batteries as that big of a deal anymore. How many times do you have to replace a battery? And portable USB chargers can provide way more charges than just a backup battery as they can be larger. ZAGG's has a 6000 maH battery, for instance. I'm likely going to pick up the HTC One X when it comes out, and that doesn't have a replaceable battery either.

Its likely because you haven't used the platforms that you don't know all the advantages. On Android, for instance, I *love* the new Chrome beta, and being able to share tabs and sessions between my tablet, PC, phone, and seamlessly jump back and forth is awesome, for example. NFL Sunday Ticket app worked great for when I was on the go, DirecTV Nomad works great on my iOS device, Pulse is a fantastic newsreader with community-based reading features and personalized reading built in, having Tasker to automate tasks on my Android devices is amazing - I have it automatically mute my phone when there's a meeting on my calendar, turn on wifi when I get in range of my house or work automatically, turn on bluetooth when I'm driving around automatically, etc. I just downloaded an app for the cruise ship I'm sailing on next week that allows me to check my balance, make restaurant and show reservations, communicate with other people on the ship with the app without paying for wifi, etc. Guess what OSes its for? iOS and Android. Having Google Talk built into all my devices is way better than texting, as I can choose to respond over PC, tablet, or phone and continue the conversation there. That used to be the case, but BB's getting passed up for email now too. On Android, for example, you can encrypt the whole device, there's remote control and wiping via ActiveSync, and you can even have two different encrypted partitions: one for a "home" mode and one for a "work" mode, so you can keep completely separate environments depending on what you're doing. The downside of BB really is that BES is unreliable, and everything has to go through Blackberry's network. With ActiveSync, it's a direct connection to the Exchange environment via HTTPS, so when Blackberry was down quite a bit last year, I wasn't affected. You should ask our Exchange guys how much of a pain in the ass maintaining BES is these days. Apple can replace an iPhone battery in their store for $80 in about 20 minutes or so at the local Apple Store.

It most definitely does NOT have better specs than the iPad 2. The Blackberry Playbook uses a OMAP 4430 SoC containing a PowerVR SGX 540, versus an A5 with a PowerVR SGX543MP2. The GPU alone is a huge difference, with the 540 putting out 3.2 gflops versus 12.8 gflops from the iPad 2 GPU. Not to mention the better architecture on the A5 than the TI OMAP 4430, and the iPad 2 blows away the Playbook in terms of raw processing power. They benchmark that way too, with the iPad 2 blowing away the Playbook in browser marks. Now, if you're talking about all the other stuff, like RAM (doesn't matter near as much to iOS as limited multitasking), cameras, etc then yes, the playbook is better.

Make sure you buy one of the new radios that support the new, extra channels. These are the SiriusXM Lynx and SiriusXM Edge. Don't buy an older model that is incompatible with the new service.

Mallo Cup <<<<<< Haribo Gold Bears

Tim and Pat yesterday said that doing the "2 picks in a row" strategy today would produce a fun, but pretty unrealistic mock draft.

If I'm the Eagles, I take a long, hard look at Demetrius now.

Wow, that is terrible.

If you don't vote for Haribo Gold Bears, you should die in a fire.
