1. New Status Update new_status_update: #microsoft_touch_mouse After working with this mouse for a couple of months, I can't really recommend it to demanding users. It really needs a software update. I won't return it only because it was still an upgrade over what I had earlier. - December 19, 2011 at 8:42 pm

December 19, 2011 at 8:40 pm

new pro/con: forward/back thumb gestures often not working
new pro/con: can't right-click unless left-click finger is released from mouse surface

1. New Update Comment comment_status_update: I wouldn't mind playing around with Siri, apparently the responses can be quite humorous :-)
Got excited when Android got the voice commands, but after a few times playing around I've rarely ever used them. The only time is in the car.... otherwise, it's too socially awkward. I'm basically never going to send a text or do a search on anything if there's any remote chance of someone hearing me. Makes me feel like a total dork. - November 29, 2011 at 12:56 pm

2. New Update Comment comment_status_update: Yes, Ars Technica concluded in a shoot-out between the Kindle Fire and the Nook Tablet, that the Nook Tablet wins - its software is much better implemented. But, nothing that Amazon can't fix with a software update, of course. I wouldn't recommend waiting for that though, as so far we don't have an idea of how well Amazon is going to take care of software issues. You may just be better off with a Nook Tablet (which by the way I expect we'll get some rooting and Android 4.0 action on next year, which will be awesome) - November 29, 2011 at 12:28 pm

1. New Status Update new_status_update: #samsung_galaxy_nexus the 'outdated GPU' part is actually a positive thing for me: I own a Samsung Galaxy S ("Captivate"), which uses Samsung's Hummingbird CPU (also SGX540 GPU), and I have CyanogenMod 7.1 (Android 2.3.7) running on it. The CyanogenMod team is already working on bringing Android 4.0 (Ice Cream Sandwich) to devices. Android 4.0 *finally* adds GPU-acceleration to the user interface, which will make it super smooth and efficient. Because the Galaxy Nexus and my phone use the same GPU I expect to get the best and earliest results of their work on my phone!! - November 29, 2011 at 12:42 pm
