Last night I went to sit in with a jazz/funk group who was looking for some sax players. A guy was supposed to print out some charts, but didn't. I'm a "read what's on the page" kinda guy; really wish I could just sit in and go on a group like that. On the bright side, I got to sit in on the first rehearsal of what can easily be a nice little group of musicians. **BRENT**

Me too. I want an iPad Nano with LTE/voice (for emergencies.) **BRENT**

I want a 6+ and a Note Edge. Not hating on this one. **BRENT**

But you do. YOU need a Note Edge. **BRENT**

Get a Note 4 anyways. Tether the 6+ to is when you need that iOS nonsense. OR, buy the FAM S5s and N4s. **BRENT**

Both. **BRENT**

Did they have it on the iPhone? **BRENT**

For those of you considering new keyboards, this is a good read. The author is one of the tech guys I used to follow who is the most level headed people reviewing. It sheds a little light on some differences between the Android and iOS versions of the same app. It seems Apple is rather restrictive of the new keyboards, but there may be some tips for some on how Swiftkey can be used. http://www.cnet.com/news/iphone-6-plus-vs-samsung-galaxy-note-3-swiftkey-shootout/ FWIW, I use the Google keyboard on my phones, but the Swiftkey keyboard was my favorite after living with the others (Samsung, Swype, SwiftKey) for a few weeks each (long enough to truly get a good feel for them.) **BRENT**

Why don't people who shoot vertical video kill themselves? Or at least learn to shoot properly. Either way is fine, but one of them should be implemented across the board. **BRENT**

Fragmentation? **BRENT**

I've been using wifi calling for years. It's fantastic when you need it. **BRENT**

Are these for OTA updates or tethered updates?

I figure your hands and pockets, and Colin's pockets, are the main exceptions around here. **BRENT**

I have used a Note 2. Jersey is easy. I would put it in a zippered bag some socks came in. I could also fit it in my medium Bontrager seatbag with tube, tool, lever, patch kit, keys, ID, debit card. It felt large when I first got it, but quickly adapted. I came from a 4" phone, but now the 5.5 feels normal. Think of it like headphones... Your headphones don't break in. Your head does. **BRENT**

Word. Perhaps an Amazon Drone? **BRENT**

I'm working and wasn't thinking. 1) they may have nano Sims for sale 2, you may be able to trim them to fit. I'd have to look into it. But someone will chime in before I do. **BRENT**

Adapters to use are cheap (5$ at T-Mobile stores), so it doesn't really matter that much. **BRENT**

^ I saw that yesterday. I love the announcers when they see the splits. That was a fantastic run. **BRENT**

I, too, want a sub. Not going to happen any time soon, but I see ads for SVS and it makes me want one... though perhaps I could pick up Jack's old one when he upgrades? **BRENT**

FWIW, I went from 4" phone and iPad to a 5.5" phone two years ago. I almost completely quit using my iPad after that because the phone did so much of what I used my tablet for. **BRENT**

I use my Note 2 almost exclusively one handed. **BRENT**

So they finally came out with a phone worth considering, eh? I hate that it still starts out with 16GB, but at least they removed the 200$ step between 16 and 64. Sorry they didn't put out a faster 3GS, Dan **BRENT**

/me is not amused. I'll get you next time, Gadget! **BRENT**

What is this Wimp nonsense? **BRENT**

It's not MOG, but I didn't know where to put this. 16/44 streaming/offline-capable music and music video streaming service that uses lossless (FLAC and/or ALAC... not sure, but both are mentioned). It's called Tidal Hifi. Here's the link to sign up for early access. http://www.tidalhifi.com/?lrRef=nXurAq I'm pretty happy with Spotify, but I wouldn't mind some higher quality options. Also, it seems they say that Spotify uses Ogg Vorbis 320k as their streaming method of choice. I'd not heard that it was Vorbis, but instead figured MP3. Interesting. **BRENT**
