Pretty standard stuff really. Oh, and make sure your battery has only a plus 1.5 v terminal and a plus 5.7 v terminal. Negatives are copyrighted, patented, and reserved for the ME equipped Zunetab from M$. www.latimes.com John Phillip Sousa would NEVER allow the Finnish National Anthem to be played on any of his horns - how dare you?!?

1284953	2012-07-01 23:22:00	Oh no ! ! ! No wonder you had trouble with Linux. Playing a Sousaphone near a sensitive electronic device is courting disaster, naturally disaster caught you. The Sousaphone is only a transition phase, and not even a virtual note need be played. (Not playing a note is something a Sousaphone excels at, it is almost as well equipped for not playing a note as the Bagpipes.) If you must play a Sousaphone, play the Binary transposition and skip the 1's. Playing a Sousaphone indoors at home will almost certainly qualify you to be Finnished the moment SWMBO gets her delicate ladylike hands on your throat. The Sousaphone will come to a sticky end too.

LINK::: www.pcmag.com (snip) I don't wish to rain on your parade SJ, but are you sure about that? blog1.9square.net This was in the NZ media a few days ago, but I cannot find the reference now. However, have you taken delivery? Should you maybe contact your supplier? Or am I mistaken - is the Google Nexus different from the Galaxy Nexus? If so, why the stupid name Nexus being repeated by two manufacturers?	John H (8)
1284955	2012-07-02 00:27:00	Here is another reference. It is Australian, so it is probably up the boohai. However, it seems to use Google and Galaxy interchangeably: www.channelnews.com.au	John H (8)

However, it seems to use Google and Galaxy interchangeably: www.channelnews.com.au Both you and the reporter appear to be confused. To clarify: Nexus is a line of Google-branded Android devices from various manufacturers in partnership with Google, and they run a "vanilla" (unmodified) version of the OS. The devices are generally intended as developer devices, and as such are supplied with an unlocked bootloader. The Galaxy Nexus is a phone in that series, manufactured by Samsung. The Nexus 7 is a tablet in that series, manufactured by Asus. The Nexus brand is owned by Google. Other devices in the Nexus range include the Nexus One and the Nexus S.	Erayd (23)
1284960	2012-07-02 02:48:00	And you thought I was confused before your post Erayd!!! So, what has SJ bought, and is it the Nexus that has been banned from sale in the USA?	John H (8)
1284961	2012-07-02 02:58:00	And you thought I was confused before your post Erayd!!! So, what has SJ bought, and is it the Nexus that has been banned from sale in the USA? He is buying the Tablet Nexus 7 and I think it is the phone Nexus that has a temporary ban on it.	mikebartnz (21)
