Hacking is half (or more) the fun for many an Android user. With the right phone, you can change just about everything, making it have little resemblance to the way it came out of the box. It's fun and addicting for the same reason computer tweaking and hacking is -- we do it because we can. There's a good chance many of you guys reading this are the same way. The simple fact that you found an Android site on the Internet makes you a more informed user, and you're exposed to all this hacking jazz.
There's as good a chance that you're not into breaking hacking your phone. We get that. You like things well enough the way they are, and just use your phone. We wanna hear from both sides this evening, so let us know in the poll.
This meme is certainly making a strong case to be one of the biggest of 2012. Sure, the first episode of “Sh*t Girls Say” was uploaded at the end of last year, but who’s counting really? The results that Google yields when you start typing “Sh*t People Say” are as far-ranging in quality as they are in topic.
We’re sure you’ve got your own favorite quotes from the wide array of videos out there. These 15 favorites (and an honorable mention for each) should get the conversation started.
some great comments on jailbreaking and rooting this week on LIM. It is a subject that seems to bring up many different emotions. Where do you stand?
"I think that Apple are going about this the wrong way. Rather than reacting to the jailbreak community by trying to stop them they should embrace their ideas. (They have done this with a few developers.) Jailbreakers are not 'evil' Android users but actually Apple customers and fans. I don't think that many people jailbreak because there are apps which they can't get through the official store. Rather it is to unlock a feature which enhances the use of the device.
The irony is that because Apple are so anal about controlling people's devices they feed the desire to jailbreak or leave the platform altogether. As they say, it's like cutting off your nose to spite your face."
The words 'Dare to be different' have been used by O2 on their blog and the recommended phone for such a behaviour is the Lumia 800. That would make a very good campaign for Nokia and Microsoft to battle the raft of iPhone and Android phones out there.
What's more fun than playing a game on your Android phone? Drinking while playing a game on your Android phone, of course. Enter Drunk Green Robots, a new app from fiveHellions development. It's easy to get started, just grab a friend or two, a bottle of Kentucky's finest (or less than finest works, too), and your Android phone. It's the high/low black/red game most of us know, but instead of using a deck of cards you use your Android.
