Lol. Did I do that?

You've clearly got a lot to unload, I hope 2020 is a better year for you. You've got issues pal,

I'm sorry you feel my explanation is an attempt to argue. At least I didn't directly attribute those issues to you or otherwise personally insult you except for the fast and loose with facts bit, which I stand by....you can't say the same.

Maybe be correct instead of hyperbolic and exaggerating, and not disrespectfully snarky and passive aggressive when challenged and you'll have more pleasant discussions.

The miniscule amount of milk I drink means water use isn't my concern....but it is in a general big picture sense, especially if we all switch to non dairy milk as you suggested.

Have a Festive Festivus and a better 2020. Bye.

Still quite happy so far. I have noticed that the battery seems to drain more quickly than with Gingerbread- not sure if that's due to my simply playing with it more.

Also, there was one weird thing that happened. The phone shut off and rebooted in the middle of a call! Now if there's one thing that any phone should be good at, smart or otherwise , it's making calls, It had never happened before, and hasn't happened again, so we'll let that slide for now.

As for general operation, yes the phone is really, really snappy. Apps seem to launch more quickly and there are no delays when scrolling through menus. The camera is a huge improvement- yes it's pretty much instant now, and the automatic panorama feature is really cool. I wonder how Google managed to pull off the quick camera thing, as phone cameras are notoriously slow to launch and use. Hell, it's the same camera, just a software change, so I'm curious.

Anyhow, all the best to you and yours for the Holidays. I personally celebrate Festivus, but haven't yet been defeated in the Feats of Strength, so I guess it's not yet over!

Because of the many vast improvements over my old phone, I'm still quite thrilled with it, but my problems are a bother. Connectivity is definitely spotty. Most times I have no 4G and when I do, most times a speed test will result in surprisingly low transfer rates (5-9mbps down), but occasionally I'll get 20mbps/19mbps (down/up).

Also for whatever reason, during some phone calls it's been giving me high-pitched electronic squealing/squeaking/cracking that's like needles in the ear drums. Problem is I have time to exchange it, but since they are so scarce, I probably won't be able to.

Awesome that you got ICS on your phone. Are you enjoying it? Is it pretty snappy? I'm more than happy with how incredible the OS is versus the old Androids. Since they say it's purely a software improvement, does ICS provide zero-delay photos for you now?

Sorry to hear about your troubles with the Galaxy Nexus. Has it got any better? Are you having the signal problems that others are reporting?

I'm still happy with the ICS update. My only mild disappointment is that Face Unlock isn't part of the package with my Nexus S, maybe later on they'll add it or maybe it's only for the Galaxy... who knows.

yes. YES ! a Festivus of ideas. A Festivus for the RESTovus !

you would be surprised at who is here but appears not to be.

I am all for adoption, I want to contribute.

Feed ideas into the funnel.

This time of year, no matter what your believe is about family, faith, kindness, sharing, togetherness and just plain old being Awesome to your freinds and fellow man (or woman)!!!!

So is he right about Superman Returns? I haven't seen it yet but is it really that boring?


sorry to say..but he nailed it.it is one huge festivus of boring.

Happy holidays/Christmas/Solstice/Hanukkah/Kwanzaa/Ramadan/Festivus/New Year! Issy and I saw Avatar in 3D the other night and dug it.

I'm not jealous of Christmas. I have Festivus!

I grew up in a family that did not believe in any religions. In a very liberal city and family. Even my grandmother that lived in the apartment beside me growing up was a feminist and activist until her 90s. What we did was define the holidays for ourselves. Created our own traditions. There is no reason why an atheist can't celebrate christmas, thanks giving, easter, festivus etc. etc.
I guess the key is to not let anyone monopolize a specific definition of how something should be.

What? No Festivus?


You're right! Better make that Chrismahanukwanzakafus...!

What? No Festivus?

Damm, I have to agree will Bill..., It is disrespectful to allow them to put the sign up - Let them put up the sign but why "Right Beside" the nativity!

As for Festivus, Cheers for starting NEW traditions, people are free to do what ever they want - even when it seems pointless to others.
