Almonds are probably the most satiating food that I know. I eat a few of them and I am satiated for hours.

I think this article is very important because it differs from many others that supposes that the prosecution caused the suicide.

I, like many others, am pissed with the overreach of the prosecution and think that the legal system must change. Aaron never deserved 6 months on jail.

That said, it was obvious that Aaron would face the possibility to go to jail many times in his career after he choose to be an internet activist. If you choose this path, it is something you have to be prepared to deal with. A person with severe depression choosing a career like this is an obvious candidate for suicide.

Ortiz, Heymann and MIT are guilty for overreaching and made a bad decision with this prosecution. But they are not murderers. Aaron choose this path. He choose to risk his life to try to change something on the world. He was bold and he will always be remembered.

I am running it all day and my CPU frequencies looks the same (I am tracking it on CPU Spy). Battery life is also the same. I didn't noticed any improvement on my Galaxy Nexus with Android 4.2.1.

I installed the patch and my CPU frequencies looks like the same, they are not scaling to max all the time. That said it is hard to notice any significant improvement after installing it.

I agree. As a brazilian I grew up playing soccer with anything available, and the joy to have a proper ball for a kid is amazing. Also there is a much better chance for a kid to evolve his skills and maybe be a professional player if he have a decent ball to learn the game.

I don't know if it is the "most talked Android phone to date". I think the Galaxy S series by Samsung have much more hype than Nexus (at least between "real" people that is not obsessed with gadgets), and I am pretty sure that the Nexus 4 will not sell as much phones as the S3.

There is a lot of controversy on the reviews because it lacks LTE. Apart from that, the only thing that this phone have that is not found in many other Android devices is the glass back. The HTC One X (lacks non-removable battery, no SD card slot) and the GNexus (no SD card slot) are famous devices that have this problems.

My point is that the "beauty" of the Android ecosystem is that you can choose between a lot of different designs and specs. The Nexus 4 have glass back, no LTE, no sd card slot and non-removable battery. Will it be more popular than the S3, that don't have any of this "problems"? I don't think so.

I am buying the Nexus 4 because I love the design, I love stock Android and there is no LTE in my country yet. I always really liked the iPhone design and hardware, but the OS and the locked ecosystem are deal breakers to me.

That's incorrect. The S3 Mini has not the same punch as the S3, actually it is much weaker.

"First off the Samsung Galaxy S3 has an Exynos 1.4GHz quad-core processor (1.51GHz Snapdragon dual-core for US variants), 4.8-inch Super AMOLED touchscreen display with resolution of 1280 x 720 and 306ppi, LTE (regional), 1GB of RAM and16, 32 or 64GB internal memory expandable via microSD to 64GB. It also has a very decent 8-megapixel rear camera with LED flash, autofocus,1080p HD video recording and the ability to simultaneously record video and images, along with a 1.9-megapixel front-facing camera.

The Galaxy S3 Mini on the other hand has a 1GHz NovaThor dual-core processor, 4-inch Super AMOLED touchscreen display with resolution of 800 x 480 and 233ppi, no LTE connectivity, 1GB of RAM, and 8 or 16GB of internal storage expandable via microSD to 32GB. There’s also a 5-megapixel rear camera with LED flash, autofocus and 720p video capture plus a VGA front-facing camera, WiFi 802.11 a/b/g/n, DLNA, WiFi Direct, WiFi Hotspot, Bluetooth 4.0, NFC, microUSB 2.0 and a 1500mAh battery."

Yes, it is pretty bad. But it is quite easy to update your phone using Odin. It is no excuse, obviously the right way would be to receive it on a timely manner, but if you can update yourself in like 30 minutes I see no reason to wait for a year.

Android has vector graphics since 2010.

The day they do this is the day that I will partition my disk, install another OS and never look back. OSX is the only Apple product that is still attractive to me, but I fear that I will have to jump out sooner or later.

I agree with him. You just have to use the Android Gmail app to notice that Google can do an awesome native e-mail app if they want. The phone client is so good that many times I prefer to use it than the web even when I am with my notebook.

I agree. And the end of the season 4 is imo one of the best things I ever saw on a screen.

After a few years working on a OSX machine I arrived at a new job and had to work with a windows machine. I had the idea to try Powershell so I could share scripts with my colleagues, as I always done. One year later I am still using it, no one ever had any interested on learning them (but they always ask me to run that "dark magic script that load that excel spreadsheet").

Even if my primary goal was not achieved I am still happy that I learned a few tricks with it.

Isn't it ironic that the Galaxy Nexus (along with the rest of the Nexus line) is almost the only Android phone that Google can quickly update the software, remove/change the stuff that Apple supposedly "own" and sell it again quickly? If the ban happened for almost all other Android devices the pain would be much bigger. I am an Android phone and Macbook owner and I am really ashamed by Apple actions, I will not buy anything of them again until they change their attitude.

No, but it doesn't seem to be a common practice. Actually on my personal projects the first thing I do is to create a service layer, but sadly the real world projects that I jumped into never had it.

I agree, I really like the "services" layer. I used it for years programming with Java/Spring and missed a lot when learning RoR. I think it is no coincidence that the two RoR real-world projects that I worked had enormous controllers. The service layer is great to orchestrate operations between models and I don´t know a reason for not using it.

I agree with you and I am feeling a little guilty for just having received my new Macbook Pro (had an old macbook white previously). I am just not being happy buying their products anymore in consequence of their actions. I am using Android phones for a few years and it just feels right to me, I think it is because my views are much more aligned with Google.

Have you tried Tasks? I used Any.do, it is good but I like Tasks better. Maybe you should give it a shot. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=ch.teamtasks.t....

I agree. I am "resisting" to buy a tablet for years, but this hardware with pure Android (I have made a rule to buy only Nexus devices when buying Android phones, I hate the stress to get the updates on non Nexus) at this price point made it hard to resist.

I am in this ship too. I was looking forward to change my old macbook white for an ultrabook running some distro, but the reported software problems and some other problems specific to the utrabooks I tested (bad trackpad, etc) made me buy a new macbook pro. It was hard to me to resist to a great hardware allied with a good unix-based os.

It seems wonderful compared to Brazil, where $599 is "converted" to R$1.549,00 ($766), even if there is a Foxconn factory here now. It makes no sense at all.

I actually discovered that I am able to pay HBO for Game of Thrones. HBO decided to air GoT here in Brazil simultaneously with USA. I called my television provider, added HBO for R$ 30,00/mo (around $15.00) and after the end of the season 2 I just called there and removed HBO again. I am planning to do the same for season 3. Is it so hard for people around the world to do the same? (real question, not being sarcastic)

I follow Taubes, Sissons and Robb Wolf approach (paleo in general) because it just works for me and I love the food. I am thinner, stronger and with much better health eating tasty food and doing minimal exercise. I think Guyenet's approach may work too (maybe there is not only one right answer) but I think low-carb is easier to me and I dont see a reason to change it. My life is much better after limiting (almost banning) grains and refined sugar.

If you look for more references and science debate, I suggest 'Good Calories Bad Calories' from Taubes. 'The Primal Blueprint' has some references but it is more focused on the practical matter. I can say that it worked very well for me and 2 other friends that tried it.

There is a long debate over this post. I personally found the best answer to the matter here:

http://paleohacks.com/questions/49970/how-do-we-reconcile-st...

Taubes also responded to Guyenet: http://garytaubes.com/2011/11/catching-up-on-lost-time-%E2%8...

The Primal Blueprint by Mark Sisson is also great and changed my life. Reading 'Good Calories Bad Calories' now from Gary Taubes (the author of the op) and it is awesome too.

In my vision, these companies (Samsung, HTC, LG, etc) did not "invested" in Android. They used free Google software to actually save their own skins. What chance any of them would have in the smartphone transition using their own home-made software? I dont think they have much options now, the Windows Phone choice is not giving good results for Nokia and I think the only choice they have to compete against Apple is to have an unified environment so the users can benefit of more apps, and this is exactly what Android gives to them, for free.

Honeycomb was not the previous major version. It was a version released only for tablets. The previous major version for mobile/tablets was Gingerbread (2.3).

I use to drag and drop on my macbook many times a day to organize my Downloads folder and I found this application to be amazing. Bought it seconds after watching the video. Congrats, it is an amazing and well executed idea.

I also watched on 2D because 3D movies give me headaches, but several friends told me that the 3D stuff there is almost avatar-like good. I am tempted to watch it again.
