    Time to get impatient yet...

    What do you mean by slide for Google Now? Are you talking about the swipe up from the bottom of the screen to access Google Now? If so, the Maxx has that now.

    My photos are being deleted from my folders

    If you are using dropbox and expecting to see your files in the dropbox folder on the local device, they won't be there. Dropbox does not cache files locally on mobile devices. If you want to keep a local copy for access when you don't have internet access you need to mark it as a favorite in...

    USB / Bluetooth tethering possible?

    Except that ruling only applies to Verizon LTE phones which are on metered plans, not unlimited plans. It was a condition of the bid for the spectrum that they won for LTE.

    Removing GPS chip

    GPS does not transmit, it only receives the signals from the satellites. Therefore, it is not possible that it is the gps chip in the Nexus that is interfering with your external gps device.

    Poetic HardBack Protective Case for the Google Nexus 7

    I have the same case and it is very good, however I switched to the YooMee version (which is exactly the same) because it comes with a black microfiber lining which I like better than the grey. My wife is now using the Poetic version.

    The reason for the short, thick power cords is to reduce impedance which allows more current (milliamps) to be provided to the device. See this thread over at XDA for a comprehensive analysis of chargers and usb cables and what effect they have on charging. [SOLVED] Nexus 7 charger/cable...

    Default music player

    If you have winamp on the nexus and winamp on your pc, why don't you just sync winamp to the device? It'll copy all the music and your playlists to the device automatically. You'll need the pro version if you want to do it automatically via wifi.
