Google Android OS
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.

And now what did you do TODAY?
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

Didn't have a great week but the Bears lack of scoring for my opponent afforded me a win in league 2... and then with Jeff and Jim typing I ended up in first place all by myself!

Didn't know there was built in tethering on the Galaxy S3. Is this true for Sprint as well? Cost extra?
