    I'm not so sure. As a developer its simply not possible to do what I need to do with a tablet, but my wife recently purchased a Nexus 7 after doing most of her computing on a Nook for a couple of years. She has a tower pc but rarely uses it.

    As a fan of sake in general and nigori sake in particular the price of Gekkeikan certainly reflects its quality. To get a truly good nigori unfortunately you need to spend some bucks.

    yet I still find the Android experience more laggy than my 3 year old 3GS

    Could be the hardware. After doing a lot of comparison shopping when I needed a new phone I decided early on that I wanted a galaxy S and landed on the Blaze. Although it wasn't the newest (Samsung were hyping the Galaxy SIII at the time, hard) I landed on the Blaze for its dual core 1.5GHz Snapdragon S3 processor, plus being 4G, it was a no-brainer. The SIII was considerably more expensive as I wanted a month-to-month bill, not a two year contract, which was the only deal they offered with the SIII. And Its as snappy as I could ask for in my opinion.

    No. They acted like sheep. There's no excuse to their actions. Its was shameful and cowardly, and wrong. And you're wrong as well. If you didn't explicitly say "use violence" you implicitly condone it by choosing to "go along". Censorship is wrong, so wrong its idiotic. There's never a good reason to use it, NEVER.

    NONSENSE. You sound like the biggest douche on the planet with that statement. When I was coming up it was "sticks and stones", now its douchebags like you with your "fluff is the new real" crap. Ya feel hurt now, little boy? I suppose you do. I guess that means you have every right to lob a bomb my way. I have NO USE for you and your ilk, you immature little fuck. I'll call ONE MAN who has more substance and fibre in his body my friend before I take 100 of you "words hurt" buggars as acquaintances.

    "Words hurt so I get to use violence as a remedy." What a silly, immature thing. You must have been raised by talking wolves. And justifying the actions of a militant, paternalistic, medieval cult that does the same thing is worse. If you were my brother my parents would be ashamed of you. Stuff and nonsense. Grow up and take charge of your own failings and immature mistakes, don't put them on some one else who says something you don't like.
