Overall I’d still say I’m more than satisfied with my Galaxy S II. The device itself is fantastic. It’s thin, light, powerful, has a gorgeous screen, and decent battery life. I really cannot find any faults with the hardware. Some of the software, on the other hand, I take issue with. Android as a whole is nice. But there are some things that either don’t make sense to me, or I don’t care about. The [...]
So I’ve come to a situation with my phone (to be explained later) that has all but required me to root it. Well, basically it HAS required me to root it because I have yet to find an actual solution that doesn’t involve rooting. Anyway… I’ve been reading root info and stuff for the last few weeks and all I can say is that the way these people write these things, it doesn’t seem as [...]
I wouldn’t say that I was “disappointed” with the iPhone 4S. Any rational thought would have said there was basically zero REAL evidence of the iPhone 5 being announced that day – as all of the tech blogs were eager to point out the morning of the announcement. You know… just days after they continued to run story after story of iPhone 5 rumors. Derp. Anyway… the one thing to manage in these situations is [...]

I guess that was enough. Whatever problem there was with [...]
As some of you may know, I got my fancy new TV yesterday. In the dictionary, under the word “awesome” … there is a picture of this TV. Go ahead and look it up… I’ll wait. See, told you so. Moving right along to seriousness. This TV really is quite spectacular. But let’s back up a bit… if you remember a week or so ago, I posted about ordering my new TV. I ordered through [...]
For me anyway… if you have something nicer, good for you. This is something I’ve been talking about (probably nonstop) and/or planning for the last 3 years or so. A big-ass TV. Right now I have a 32″ Samsung LCD. It’s not bad. Picked it up a year or two ago. It’s a nice TV for what it is – but I basically bought it to get in the LCD game and with the intention [...]
