    CM12 OTA Roll Out Underway!

    I haven't run into any battery life problems yet. If anything, I am getting better battery life than before. Is there something specific that triggers the Google Play service to go nuts?

    CM12 OTA Roll Out Underway!

    I received the CM12 OTA yesterday afternoon, and so far I am really liking it. I haven't been crazy about Lollipop on my Nexus 7, but this has been really good. It is early though... Details: Android version 5.0.2 Cyanogen OS version 12.0-YNG1TAS0YL

    How do I put my movies onto my Chromebook?

    As another option, I store a bunch of media on a NAS unit that my Macs can access via smb or afp. Thought I was out of luck with the Chromebook, but remembered that here is a web interface as well. It is kind of crumby but works to get content onto my Chromebook by way of the local network.

    Want to delete user data

    For anyone else who has this question: Go to Settings, then at the bottom click the link for "Show advanced settings." Then hit the "Powewash" button. I haven't tried it, but I assume it will ask you to confirm and then nuke all the user data.

    Other devices question

    In settings there is a button for advanced sync options. Do you have open tabs checked on all your Chrome instances? I had a weird thing happen once where I had to re-open chrome on all my devices as the list of open tabs was empty. The option still showed up though...

    Goodbye Galaxy S3. Hello Razr Maxx

    I have always thought of Motorola as having better radio technology so I would think you might get better call quality, but nowadays the radios are built into the SoC. The US version of the S3 uses the same SoC as the Maxx. Maybe the software and antennas will make a difference. Previously I had...

    Could you ever go to a smaller battery phone?

    The HTC One looks really nice and I am tempted but found myself asking this exact question. How could I go back to a phone with a "normal" battery? Hoping whatever Motorola and Google have going includes a big battery option. I have a while before upgrading, so they have time...

    Chromebook Pixel = Google's Macbook/Macbook Air?

    Love my Samsung and well worth the money. I also love my Macbook Air but let me say: don't put Linux on your MBA. It is really unstable. I ended up putting OS X back on it when I got tired of it crashing.
