  1. how does the warranty work? on Google's Grand Android Plan · · Score: 4, Insightful

    with apple i can go into one of the 10 Apple stores in the NYC area and have a real life english speaking person look at my device and possibly exchange it on the spot.

    google better not do it's regular retail FAIL where warranty/support is some internet forum where you get an answer in 3 days and have to send your phone somewhere hoping it won't get crapped on

  2. Re:Wow Google is missing the problem... on Google's Grand Android Plan · · Score: 1

    unlike AMD and Intel where x86 CPU's work with all apps, ARM CPU's are different. the early Tegra CPU's were notorious for missing features that other ARM CPU's had. they might all run the same instruction set but there are other features that some CPU's don't support.

    Tegra didn't support something called NEON which is why Skype video calling didn't work on nvidia SoC's for months

    no it was called greenland because it was green. we've even found evidence of farming there.

    around the year 1000ad there was a warming trend called the Medieval Warming something. forgot the name. there was another one around the time of the Pax Romana. the Medieval warming trend coincides with the crusades because there were so many people in europe that everyone started fighting each other for land and so the Church found the perfect excuse with the crusades and helping the Byzantines

    the Little Ice Age ended in the early 1800's. Right around the time all these scary temperature records start that show the world is warming. of course it's warming, we're coming out of a small ice age that lasted a few hundred years

    what has begun?

    Greenland is called Greenland because 1000 years ago it was a nice place to live and raise a family. the world was warmer 1000 years ago and there are more people now than ever. in fact all the bad stuff like bubonic plague happened after the world cooled. just like in the 500's. after a cooling trend we had disease and pestilence.

    Sony is releasing a new console soon. 10 to 1 odds they will release a new version of PSN and a premium version of PSN as well.

    this is meant to make people think twice about buying a new PS4 and pay for PSN. why buy new PS4 if i just signed up for a 2 year x-box deal?

    the hardcore i play every single kill/hack everyone to death game 7 days a week on every console 10 years back people aren't the target of this
