Good luck Jacob!

Finally happy with Andre Johnson again (for the moment).

Damn Birgir, that bread looks amazing.

Congrat CJ!

Happy Birthday JP!!!

^This!

Thanks Brent, I'll take a look at that article.

Tempting... I guess that is for a single speaker?

Happy Birthday Alex!

Tried tethering with my phone and it didn't work, could connect to the phone via wifi on my computer but I couldn't gets on the interweb. I guess Sprint has blocked this or else I was doing something wrong. Is there a webpage which keeps a list of different carriers and what they allow and if they charge? My sister in law wants to get rid of her internet at home use tethering instead to save money (she doesn't have a job - short version of the story: she has a son who is 21 and has a very rare disease where he has almost no muscle control and needs to be home to help care for him - and she just split up with her husband). I was warning her that tethering may not be what she is expecting. I think she was planning to buy an unlocked phone and switch from Sprint to Simple Mobile (also to save money). Anything I should warn her about? Are certain phones better or worse than others?

That is serious awesomeness Steve!

That's pretty much what I thought going from 1 to 3.

So sorry Vicki.

Congrats on the 10 years! I had a bit of a scare today. I got a call from some call center trying to contact "me." They said that Alberts and Associates were trying to contact me, gave me the phone number and the file number and didn't tell me what it was about. Then I had a meeting with a student and had to worry about what this could be for an hour. I called them back and they said that I was summoned to appear in court and they have been trying to contact me. I was sort of freaked out worried that I was being sued or something worse. Turns out that it was another person with my same name. Phew.

Thanks Grahame.

One more question: Can you get some sort of malware/virus from just downloading an app without opening it. I was trying to decide if the Nexus 7 would be a good device for my niece who likes barbie stuff. There was a free barbie app (Princess Barbie) and I stupidly installed without reading all the reviews. The reviews all talk warn not to download, the permissions say that it can access lots of personal information that I didn't want it to see. I never opened it, so I am still "safe" or not? Yes, I know, I am paranoid and stupid for downloading such an app.

So basically...? 1) The Nexus 7 doesn't use the FAT file system so stuff is essentially erased 2) If the government or something with a lot of resources wanted to get the erased data it will be possible 3) That person is not going to get the Nexus 7 I send back 4) See 1, 2, 3 and do a factory reset and don't worry I looked at the erase programs like "forever gone" etc and they didn't have very good reviews or just erased SD drives.

Yes, I figured that out (changed my first post probably as you were typing). I am running 4.1.2. Still might send it back and am interested in a secure erase.

So I got the Nexus 7 and don't like it. Mostly annoyed that I can't use it always in widescreen mode like the ipad. So I want to send it back (unfortunately google has a 15% restocking fee...) and did a factory reset but evidently this is not a secure erase and some stuff is still left on the device. http://www.gottabemo...o-swiss-cheese/ Any way that I can completely wipe it and not be worried about the data. I am assuming that google is going to resell it like it is (possibly as refurbished). I guess I was pretty stupid to link it to my google account as soon as I did it. Edit: Figured out how to use it in widescreen mode but still interested in this answer in case I do still send back the tablet.

There is a free trial.

Have fun at the aquarium. Carl: I hate dealing with insurance companies/hospitals. I love when a hospital sends you a bill and doesn't even say what it is for. The sad thing is some people get bullied into paying these things.

CJ, I think that is going to be the case with the Apple TV or Airport Express no matter what. You probably just need to get some thing like this from rogue amoeba. http://rogueamoeba.com/support/knowledgebase/?showArticle=AirfoilVideoPlayer

Ooh, very interested!!! (Not on the AA website yet. )

Sounds great Nate!

He is probably going to need a custom rack to go with that.
