    Yes, different vendors but there's no reason why it shouldn't have looked the same.

    Rooting is nothing more than installing su and busy box binaries, in all other respects its stock. Google messed up by not making (by forcing Samsung) the nexus 10 just a bigger version of the 7. The 7 feels and looks quality whereas the 10 looks like its something that you'd find stocked in...

    Apparently it needs deeper integration with the is, hence root. I could be wrong though, it was just something I read the other day.

    Rooting really isn't that bad or difficult, certainly much easier than maintaining a jailbreak. Unlock boot loader Flash cwm recovery Boot into recovery Install from SD card (installs busy box and su binaries) On my nexus 7 it automatically went into cwm after an ota update and as all I had to...

    Chrome is known to have less than ideal performance, that said I've not seen any pages that rendered slow, they've all been quick. If you want blistering performance you can stick the old android browser on as long as your device is rooted

    Bootloader unlocked, cwm flashed as recovery and device rooted!

    Bought a used MacBook Pro, did I get a good deal?

    I was going to say that I thought a machine of that age will not support 8GB.

    Kindle Fire HD

    It's a worse device (slower) anyway regardless of the "for kiddies" interface. Just get the Nexus 7 and install the kindle app on it. Or ignore us and get the inferior Kindle Fire HD.

    Mine has been delivered. However, thanks to the google checkout flicking my home address back to my card address during ordering, it's gone to my parents house rather than our house. I thought I was going mad, I was sure I'd picked the correct address. I ordered a bumper afterwards as well...

    Who knows...maybe they'll tell us all - then again, maybe not. I suspect it was probably much lower than that. The americans are going to have fun in a few hours time.

    I got through the second it went live, it went to place the order but rejected it because my postcode was in lower case! By the time I'd changed it to upper case all hell had broken loose and it was impossible to get an order through, ajax would timeout or the cart would just empty. Eventually...

    That sucked more balls than Apples ordering system. I f**king hate "ajax" shopping carts. Still, I got one eventually.

    Samsung Kies cannot install de to lots of dll errors, help..

    In that case I bet it's due to the 64 bit OS and the installer not correctly supporting it, it's probably using the wrong version of regsvr32 to try and register the DLLs. See if there's a newer installer or one specifically for 64bit.

    Backups.

    Data is backed up on a daily basis to the backup server, the data is backed up to a hot swap drive, hot swap drives are rotated every week and taken off sites, this means at worse the data is one week old should everything on sites be destroyed. As it's all based on rsync over ssh, off site...

    Backups.

    It happened again.... This time a vital machine at work went down - this happened a couple of years ago with another machine, so I built a backup system using rsync that created daily backups of important data. Both ends of the backup system would email if there was a problem i.e client was...

    Samsung Kies cannot install de to lots of dll errors, help..

    Try running the installer as administrator. If that fails, try setting compatability to a lower version of windows. I hate COM with a passion.

    The slowness of the box is down to the UI, this puts the UI on your tablet. This is the TiVo app tricked into working on a UK box: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yxdzo2ur2tQ this is a leak of the UK app: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wxGCvl1U1eA

    It's a long saga..... Basically, the US TiVo can use the brilliant App that TiVo provide in the (US) app store. Now, this app did not work with the VM TiVo, however, by using a bonjour proxy it was possible to trick the app into thinking that the UK TiVo was a US TiVo and then it would all...

    There you go, a valid reason to use it! I bet you're the exception to the rule, infact, I'd probably say that a lot of people install these Apps use it once or twice before they realise unless they have good reason to use it, it's actually quicker and easier to use the original remote. It's...

    For the most part, I actually find *those* kind of applications (mostly) pointless. Things like Hi-Fi's come with remotes, and generally it's a case of "Pick up remote, press button" to do the functionality. When you start involving a device like a phone/tablet, you then go to "Pick up device...

    I agree, but like a lot of people I use the tablet almost exclusively for: * Web Surfing * Email * Facebook It's fairly rare that I use it for anything else, the wife is the same, she has hardly any apps installed on her iPad. Thing is, Google appear to be getting serious now. Before it...

    Why I left apple for Phone/Tablet devices.... If I hadn't had iOS6 prior to the iPhone 5 announcement I'd probably have done the normal thing of selling before the keynote and buying the 5 as soon as it went on sale, but the fact that iOS6 was such a weak "update" meant that there was no way I...

    It supports USB OTG which means it has Host and Device support, it's just a cabling issue (hardware wise). Software wise, no idea if a stock Nexus 7 will support a HID device connected to the OTG port, maybe require rooting to enable the functionality.
