Battery capacity (2020 mAh) seems a little low for a phone with a 5" screen (Note II has 3100 mAh) but otherwise the specs look good. Apple would have to be a little concerned that the only area where they've been ahead, Retina display ppi, was just blown out of the water.

Not to defend Apple too much but they have other subtle areas in which I prefer their products.

One example I noticed from changing over to a Samsung screen is screen brightness. My Note has a gorgeous screen, but if you want to turn it down and read an ebook or something at night while your gf is sleeping.. well good luck. It doesn't go very dim. It stays pretty blindingly bright at night. And yet it doesn't do so well in bright daylight either. You can barely see it. The 4S was much better on both accounts from what I remember.

Haven't had that problem with the S2.

Have you tried this app:

Screen Filter

Reduce the brightness of your screen for night-time viewing. Applies a shade that acts as a dimmer to ensure your eyes don't hurt. Far more powerful than Android's built-in brightness setting. Great for low-light gaming, web browsing, and eBook reading. It even saves battery life for AMOLED displays!

Silly me, I shoulda checked if there was an app to do it. I'll have to try that.

Just tested it and it works fine. No ads or weird permissions. One tap and it works. Default setting should be fine but you can jump into Notifications when it's running and adjust the slider if you want.

When in doubt there's usually an app that will do what you want. I've played around with the iPhone 5 and can't see a single compelling feature that would make me want one.

I didn't mean redneck/backwater pejoratively.

I was using it as a contrast to my metropolitan not-handy pussified persona.

You guys ever have those days where you just want to quit working out?

No...never...

lolmaolol

but you are def a lot deeper at RB than I am. I thought I'd be safe from your bids this time, but I knew Chuzzle would be after him, and I figured a few others with bye week quandaries.

I wanted to bid for real on him since I traded away Alex Green right after paying $22 for him last week. (happy with trade so far, Green + Steve Johnson = Vincent Jackson, Started VJax right away to the tune of 18 some points)

Fortunately my picking up Mikel Leshoure a week or two before his suspension ended seems to have been a good play.

Unfortunately what I do doesn't actually seem to matter because something or other fuks me over every week, and I still dominate in points against.

Doesn't points against just mean that other people have better players than you?

4S blows in the sun, I own one. Last phone was an Epic 4g. Also sucked when sun was bright in the sky. However, I liked the epic 4g screen better because of the contrast. My iPad 3 is awesome though. HTH.

[Miketoc]

Also I created a new journal, I expect everyone to sub for cherished reps.






Oh wait, you're all on spread. Nevermind.

[Farley1324]

It means that the other people's players seam to like to have their best performances of the season when I play them.

For awhile I had the most points SCORED, even though my record was like 10th out of 12. I don't have the most points scored anymore, but I'm not bombing out or anything

[Lencho]

HTH.

It does, Miketoc. It really does.

Yeah, being up there in points scored with a sh*t record sucks. But I just don't get the PA arguement.

"I would be 6-0 if all of these other teams weren't scoring more points than me!"

Sound logic, if Farles opponents would stop **** kicking him every week he'd be undefeated, duh.

Now it's 11th out of 12.

Ok good hang in there.

I'm getting the short end of the stick on everything. It must be karma for trotting out my 3 championship trophies (out of 5 teams) from last year one too many times.

I have more points scored than 2 of the 3 division leaders (including more than my division leader who is 4-2), and I'm only 3 points shy of the other division leader.

Matchups be screwing me.

Sound logic, if Farles opponents would stop **** kicking him every week he'd be undefeated, duh.

I wish I could score 67 points and win.


It's pretty easy to notice that the top three teams in points against are the bottom three teams in record. (Chuzzle is one of them, as well as myself)

So who is winning the league you guys are all in?

Please say A2M. Pllleeeeease.

Three guys in the league are not from bb.com. Two of them are currently #1 and #2. I recruited them from my home town to fill out the league. jshaw is #3, TAAB #4, and A2M #5

(currently)

A2M is leading the Shack division though

Strong bb.com suckage to have the outsiders 1-2 right now.

Ahh thx. Well I guess that's pro sports though. Perhaps this is why it's so hard to make a living on sports betting.

My bro, who I think I mentioned won two years in a row, is also basically last this year. He knows his ****, but too much unpredictable stuff happens.

Outsiders are 9-9. OBviously they've had easy mathcups.

Outsiders are:

#1 at 5-1
#2 at 4-2 (with the most points scored)
#12 at 0-6 (2nd in points against, behind me)

Yeah, 9-9 and all with bad teams. We'll see where they end.

[Farley1324]

Must be why they are ranked #1 and #2, and why one of them has scored more points than any other team. Trololol

I was funnin' ya mang. Making jerky is easy to do. A good marinade will make or break it. Ask Sage about the stuff I sent to him in teh Nam.

Basically it's marinade, cook or smoke, slice, salt then dry. Either dry it in the sun or use a dehydrator, I use a dehydrator. Grilling the beef will go a LONG way to add flavor.

I joined link's league I don't even know who all is in it.

my team has been sodomized the last two weeks.

[ryuten]

I have sleep apnea. I stop breathing 80 times an hour. I have to wear a fuucking mask while I sleep. I found out about 10 years ago.

Yea I am about to get fitted for a mask lol.

I may end up having to buy it out of pocket if my insurance doesn't cover too much. Personally I think it is worth it if it means that I won't feel like napping 4 hours after I wake up.

[Miketoc]

I have apnea too. As I start to fall asleep, I jolt awake like 10 times in like 30 mins before I finally fall asleep because my lungs decide to stop. I wonder how many times I stop breathing over the course of the night.

They've won 4 games outside of playing each other or you..

We'll see what Big Kock Randies has this wknd should be a good one.
