How is the battery drain?

Amazing. And free

I used it for about five minutes and it lagged the heck out of my phone. Like, my phone became nearly unusable. A lot of people like it though, so apparently I'm an exceptional case.

Strange it is one of the only Live wallpapers that does not cause the phone to lag.

been using this for awhile. the only thing I don't like is that you have to reset your presets after you reboot. for me at least

This is brilliant. Really smooth on my NS and I like the customisation options.

Yea u need a phone with cojones to run this. Not every phone would run it smooth. I tried it on my evo and scrolling was terrible ...on my NS it doesn't affect anything. It runs like if Im not running a live wallpaper ..this phone is crazy or gingerbread? Or the hummingbird CPU? Or wtf? Lol

Same here. I tried it on my Nexus One and although it was still perfectly usable there was a noticable lag to the scrolling and app drawer. The gpu on the S makes a lot of difference I think.

I have a Nexus S. Stock 2.3.1 unrooted. I guess I should have mentioned that, I just didn't bother since it's in the Nexus S forum. >.>
Or better yet, I should get one of those fancy technical signatures where people describe in too-much detail their current phone and phone history.

LIKE !
Made my day man!

LOL !
1 LWP replaced 2 other ones that i had installed (Bezier & Flurry)
this Solar Wind is exactly what i was looking for, both of those other 2 i had just didn't cut it for me
same idea, just better realizided by Solar Wind
... you know what is missing ?
Touch effects, like touch the screen, and a new stream shoots out or something like that (sort of like the nexus LWP)

Sure is pretty. And smooth. But a little busy for me. Am I missing it or is there not a way to customize colors? Would love just white particles.

SO TRUE!
touch effects would be a real burner...but the LWP is young, maybe theyre adding it...email the devs to force ^^

This live wallpaper rocks, I like the undertow style. Doesn't slow down the Nexus S at all which is the best part. Only thing that kinda sucks is a shorter battery life but not by much.

Great find! Just downloaded for my Epic and it is absolutely stunning

Yea, I found it a bit funny bc the description says its not compatible with tablets, yet Amazon website has a green compatible check mark next to the Xoom. Sow sadly it does start on a black screen on the xoom like its not going to work but if u keep taping the screen and tring to move stuff to the screen it will work.

I just loaded the app and it started. What kernel are you using? Are you on OC GPU? I don't like that OC stuff so I'm stock. I'm up to level 40 and it hasn't sputtered or crashed (knock on morning wood).

I actually am using stock and am not rooted. I was thinking about flashing for sdcard support but I think Im gonna wait and see what 3.2 brings.

The game is awesome I used to play it back in my iOS days.

It seems to work for me.. the 'not for tablets' is probably because it isn't optimized as well as you have to scroll the screen a little bit up/down to see the top are of the screen for putting towers etc and down to put them on the lowest part of the playing field. Otherwise.. seems to work great for me.

I get an Unauthorized Request error when I start it up. I click OK and it closes .

I'm in the same boat as you, and it sadly isn't working. I got SOO excited when it came out too!
Anyone have a work around? It begins to play the game fine. I select the level and difficulty, it shows me where all of the buttons are, and then the map turns black. The game continues on, and I can use the in-game controls, but can't see anything. Guess I'm just beat

I'm using a custom kernel. Try going to the dev section and looking in the Notubuntu thread. Flash that kernel and try it. Maybe its kernel related. Mines works fine everytime. I'm on wave 70 and no hiccups.
By the way I'm not overclocked or anything. I'm using the stock honeycomb also. If you guys are using a different ROM it could be an issue.

Custom ROM/kernel from tiamat team and TDR team running on my Xoom, and i have no issue with all apps/games that support for HC.

For me the trick is to do a two finger re-size on the black background, this causes the play field to be redrawn and works great.

Anyone have this issue? See the small text?
Man this game is harder than it looks. How the hell do I stop the helicopters from getting past? I feel like I'm upgrading the early buildings and its killing me!

I noticed that when my game ended and my name was on my high score list. I could not read the list. Either the text was microscopic or was not working correctly.

I have the issues too. I beat the game on easy and medium. Save up for lightning towers and upgrade them to the Max. Also place the goo towers spread apart to slow them down.

Early on drop a middle launcher along the aircraft flight path, then lightning generators later in the round.
I have the same "small text" issue with the high scores screen - this is probably the reason this game isn't "approved" for tablets.

I had the same problem. I had to log into the Android market on my computer and bought it then it downloaded to my Xoom.

The game is cool and works well until you leave the range and then openfeint crapware kicks in and nukes game play, you have to restart the game to get a different weapon.
did 2 reviews about the game on android market and the devs pulled 1 review down, i suspect my second review will be pulled shortly..lol
Buy it if you can put up with openfeint ware crapping out ALL the time.
EDIT: LOL, yup, second review has been pulled. LOL

I don't see a point to all the fuss, especially at that price. Apparently hardly any programs can even utilize that resolution so it scales it down anyways. If you're a video/photo editor then I can easily see the benefit. But for so many others who just use it for facebook and MS word, what's the point?

Not even so much video editing, unless you're working with 2k or 4k resolution. And if you were, you'd know right away, when the computer can't do anything in real time.

Besides the ridiculous pricing and the lack of programs supporting the screen's ability, I refuse to support Apple so long as their business practices include the inane lawsuit wars that they have been waging. I really don't care about the eliteist toolbags who use them sometimes because we have PC/Android/etc users who are the same, but I won't give a one cent to a company who conducts business like Apple does.

I still want this thing, and it didn't help that i checked out The Verge's review.

I read their review, on the machine itself, then took the pictures. The review doesn't really show how good the display is in real life. I really, really want to dual boot ML and W8 on it and turn it into a HDTV, along with finding an external Blu-Ray drive for it.
It's shocking how far ahead they are in build quality against the PC manufacturers.

Exactly. I want to dual/trippel boot OSX/Win7/W8. I'm not a gamer but it's also nice to know that it'll run most games just fine.
"But why would you pay that much for a laptop when you can get one for $3 and a BJ on Craigslist!?"
- Nice screen
- Superb build quality as usual
- OSX (I like it very much)
- It pisses the fanboys off

Meh, sticking to my guns. It could come with Halle Berry and every Pussycat Doll and I still wouldn't support it, but more power to you guys if it makes you happy =)

The only thing that apple is good at making, is really only Macs. iOS will forever take criticism from me and a bunch of people

Not a good idea. The retina display means nothing but trouble with regards to Windows. Windows doesnt do well with really high resolutions. Don't expect any gaming at all either. The 650m isn't a terrible card, but if you put it under much stress, expect a lot of overheating. That chassis is just way to small to deliever adequate cooling.
Tldr: If you want windows, buy a native windows machine this time around.

How To : Move Seats In Occulus Theater

Wow, So Im Not Sure if anyone else has stumbled upon this yet but if you have a gamepad paired while in the 1st 2 theater options, you can change your seat by pressing button 3 on the gamepad! in the first theater u can switch to any of the 6 seats, while the 2nd theater only allows from front, middle and rear, ENJOY! GUYS!!

Ugh. I doubt moving away would be enough. Seems the type that would follow you around still rambling. My luck, I would have to leave for dumping my soda on "a paying customer"

i too hope they implement this
1. to be accessible even without controller (i.e. swipe up/down could be used) and
2. to be accessible in the void as well, so that every person can choose for himself how big he wants the screen to be. i do like the void, but it kind of bothers me that the screen is smaller than in the main cinema. sure it makes sense to not have the picture "attack" you too much, but on the other hand, theres movies that attempt to do just that, i.e. gravity.
so, this should be an easily accessible user setting in all theatres including the void, IMO. for some movies, id like to sit in the back of a cinema with some distance, i.e. TV series that generally tend to do more closeup than movies do. for others, i might want to watch them silly close in the void so that they almost fill up the entire FOV, maybe even a bit more than the cinema default does (that would be gravity )

So is this not achievable with just the touch pad? :/
EDIT: Just bought a controller, and it's much much better than swiping with the touchpad. Tried this in the cinema app and it works perfectly. I prefer the very back seat because I can see the whole screen without left or right.

Me and the wife want to get one, I think it's sad you can't join two and sit in the same virtual cinema... maybe in a future update.
