Check out the humble bundle. 7 THQ games for 'pay what you like'

Yeah, I really can't go back to a smaller screen after having an S3. The size isn't even a problem 99% of the time. Plus, it's waaaay better for reading/browsing as you don't have to zoom as much, and you can hold the phone a reasonable distance from your face without squinting.
Seriously, phones have gone this way for a reason. Our needs are changing.
Battery life is horse shit however.

Yeah I made an AE86 with a 2jz fully modded for shits and giggles, the thing is completely undriveable. Even 6th gear at 300km/h it just spins up the tyres as if it's in 2nd heh.
Longer gear ratios would be nice!

There's also the Asus one, basically a transformer but with windoze
Yep, Asus Vivo

Anyone know when they're bringing the smart glass features to Android?

It's very pretty for an xbox game.
Single player and MP both fun. MP is kinda like call of duty now in terms of character progression. It's good, adds an extra element to the mix.
-
It definitely feels more arcadey handling wise.
Not that that's any bad thing, the game is fun, and encourages drifting/damage etc.
Reminds me a lot of NFS Underground 2, and I loved that game as a teenager.

Just got my Galaxy S3 4G today. It's much nicer looking with the chrome edge, and Jelly Bean is a ton smoother. Google voice is awesome, even more accurate than Siri I think!
Obviously the main attraction is 4G.. this is in Perth. Not sure why the upload was so slow, every round after was faster.

Tablets are great but need a keyboard. I have an iPad with a Logitech ultra thin KB, it's sweet.
Laptops typically have worse battery life, and worse screens.
Good thing about my iPad is its pretty much a laptop until I detach the keyboard and then its a tablet again.
Wouldn't try to get any serious work done on it, but for what I use it for (uni, email, games, movies, books) it's farking perfect.
Notice how all the windows tablets are coming out with keyboards?

The whole "complicated" argument is amusing.
You can make Android look just like iOS. Simply drag the necessary apps, icons and widgets onto one of the pages. How on earth can you claim iOS is easier? I simply don't get it.
Reckon your nanna would know, or care that you can do that?
Seriously. How dumb do you have to be to think the extra simplicity of iOS over Android is a bonus?
Your inability to pull your head out of your arse is astounding. The vast majority of people do not know how to customise their phones, nor would they give a shit if they could.
I'm sorry but thats a pretty poor argument for android being more complicated. Your saying that a button that gives you the choice to have GPS with one swipe from the home screen, is mor complicated then iOS where you have to navigate through menu's to do the same thing.
The number of steps to turn it off/on is not what I was getting at. You don't need to turn the GPS off in iOS because it only comes on when it's needed.
EDIT: I think I need to clarify my point. I'm a systems analyst so I perhaps see things a little differently to most.
The whole concept of a 'smart' phone, is a device that is exactly what you want it to be at that point in time. So whether that's a GPS, a gaming system, a word processor, or even (gasp) a phone, the device should take info from its bewildering array of sensors to deliver intelligent functionality. In addition, intelligent software design should make things as simple as can be, or automate things wherever possible. This means that, in the case of smart phones, every time you are required to manually switch things off, close programs or lower performance to save battery - that's a failure of the operating system to properly manage resources based on the normal usage of the device.
You shouldn't have to change anything to get at least a full day's usage out of your phone.. that's my point. I realise batteries are shitty too but that's a whole 'nutha kettle of fish.

really, complicated, REALLY
I didn't just say it was 'complicated'. I said it was 'more' complicated, by which I was making an obvious comparison to iOS.
Case in point: The series of buttons across the top of the notification tray (GPS, WIFI, Power Saving etc). Now while I see what they're trying to do here, by offering high level control to the user.. but why do I have to choose to have GPS off? Shouldn't it just come on when it's needed? Why do I have to make the choice between good battery life and good performance? I'm sure that one day when I'm running low on juice I'll appreciate it, but most of the time I don't want to know about it!
That's me, someone who actually understands the implications of using those features. What about your nanna, or your mum? They are just going to stare at those buttons in bewilderment, which is what I'm getting at. iOS hides all that shit away, which makes it functionally simpler to operate.

Yeah, this isn't news?

Like most apple users you are missing the point...
they may not be fans by choice, but they most definately are sheep led by the shephard that is apple marketing....
I dont care how good their phones are I would not purchase one just because I dont like apple or anything they stand for...
Like most android users you are missing the point. Android is more complicated to use, something most people can do without.
I'm getting used to my sgs3 but it's nowhere near as intuitive as an iphone. I am appreciating it's flexibility, but I'm sure many people don't.

Been having awesome fun so far. At the start there's a mission to collect fur from those monster things. You can either get a sniper rifle or a shotgun. Dunno what the shotgun is like but the sniper rifle is sick! As below:

Hey guys, figure those who are after a discount could use this. Not telling shit, this is 100% legit
Click this link - Greenmangaming (it's a referal link for friends and you'll get a $2 credit for each purchase you make towards future purchases)
Sign up or follow prompts.
Add Borderlands 2 to your cart and (as of now, it's 10% off)
THEN BEFORE YOU CHECK OUT
Add this code - GMG20-AWDF9-Q1PEY to your purchase for a further 20% off
So effectively this is a 30% discount off. I got a total of 41% off (paid $36.86 - 16% + 25%) 2 days ago but as it's so close to release they're dropping the discount (originally it was like 20% + 25%).
Those of you that are skeptical, you're not alone. I was hesitant but a friend urged me to use them and low and behold, the key registered to steam no problem at all
Edit: Also, not sure how long this discount will last as the games released in 2 days.
Nice find on the site. I cancelled my order from game lane because he wouldn't give me a straight answer as to when I would receive my key!
Tried that site, got my key instantly! I paid $40, but that was the same price as game lane anyhow
-
Some dudes already have it on steam. Still waiting on my key from game lane grumble grumble..
-
We've got repeaters internally on each floor - i get perfect reception everywhere with anything lol.
In other news -iPhone 5 4G won't work in OZ apparently.
http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,2817,2409694,00.asp
Gotta love that
Iphone 5 was quoted to be compatible with Telstra, Optus and virgin 4g networks in apple's presentation

In the past couple weeks I've had a play with my gf's S3, and I have to say I really appreciate the extra screen real estate.
I was waiting to see what Apple did with iPhone 5, and I have to say I'm slightly disappointed.. I really thought they were going to blow me away with some interesting features.
So I had a long hard think today, my mouse was inches away from clicking preorder on an iPhone 5, but the screen was the clincher for me.
So I have a Galaxy S3 now!
Came with a free car kit, bluetooth headset and a 16gb memory card
EDIT: I realise that the 4G version comes out next week, but for me it's not really worth the battery life hit, I've never had a problem with current data speeds anyways.
-
I lol'ed
-
Wouldn't call the specs worse.
It's a dual core A15, which no other phone on the market has. S3 may be quad core but it's based on an A9, ie last gen tech.
-
And at what point did anyone claim such a thing?
You f**ked up. That's all there is. And it was a funny f**k up cause it completely destroyed your claim that iPhones are hardy and Android are susceptible to breaking just as much.
Apple holds about 18% of the smartphone market. Android around 70%.
I do not know a single iPhone user who has not had the screen shatter on them. I do not know a single Android user who has had the screen shatter on them.
You did. And your figures are wrong.
-
My point was, you'd have to do a search for every model of android, rather than just one search for iPhone..
Neither is better that the other, they all use the same glass!

Compare results, realise your error.
Was merely pointing out that claiming no android screens had ever been broken was retarded.
Also, I wonder if that's because apple have been selling the same product with refreshes annually since 2007? Compared to the eleventy billion varieties of android..
-
I claim you haven't got a clue what you're talking about. Just how f**king smart do you think the average iPhone user is? Hell, they can't be that smart seeing some of them are confused by those seriously technical and hyper weird Android phones.
If you're incapable of finding the multitude of studies, stories and reports which demonstrate what a fragile piece of shit iphones are, then that's not our problem.
I do not know a single iPhone user who has not had the screen shatter on them. I do not know a single Android user who has had the screen shatter on them. I have never seen an Android phone locked up so hard that even a reboot does not resolve it, as per the iPhone currently sitting on my desk at work awaiting return. That's a near new 4s and the second one to do it in about a fortnight. It locks so hard that even a hard reboot does nothing, it just boots back to the swipe screen locked up solid. Two in a fortnight!

I'm telling you my iPhone doesn't have a broken screen. Your argument is invalid.

It's awesome.
Co op is pretty sweet. Gets much harder very quickly though!
