http://Laptops.Megafreebie.com?referral=28626
is my link i need 28 people to sign up and do one just on offer many of which are free.
I don't have much to offer in return but thanks, maybe some google+ invites(not that those are rare anymore), and maybe even some light cash(albeit probably very light) but i have signed up for the site and haven't gotten spam, so if you do a free offer and help me it would be awesome.
i'm in college studying architecture and this would be a huge help over my inspiron e1705 from 4 years ago
If you are willing to do it for nothing i will be eternally grateful

You have better luck finding a job...lol (not trying to be a 8===D)
But good luck anyway, I wouldn't sign up for a site like that, seems to easy, if it's too good to be true, it usually is.

what makes it not too good to be true is the hassle of having to get others to buy into the idea, and actually doing offers, it's all advertising. for sites like intuit, gamefly etc.
but i do understand not wanting to deal with it.

You can't find 28 friends? lol I'm sure they would be more willing to help than a random people here?

this is true, but because they are my friends i'd rather not hassle them about it, instead i can roll the dice here and see if anyone here is up to it
at least i'm being honest about it right?

Yeah, I feels, good luck. You should just go read the rules real quick and make sure this is even allowed. They aren't that long

i did and i think i am clear, though this could be boarder line spamming i suppose or advertising... if interpreted as such i will delete it.

I will leave it for now...but I am keeping my eyes on it.

Windows Marketplace, will it hurt?

Hey everyone,
I am really concerned about windows marketplace. I suppose it will either help the community here by weeding out certain visitors, or it could lure all the good dev's from here with the promise of getting more than recognition for their work.
Anyone have an opinion?
It always hurts the first time.

opps my bad i should really proof read.
I wouldn't worry about it. If anything, it should be useful for the platform and, as such, will benefit us all. For people like myself who flash ROMs quite often Marketplace is useless as it doesn't leave the the cabs and I'll have to redownload stuff every time. For those users who can't spend 5 minutes googling it will be a blessing and therefore will grow the market for WM apps.
What does worry me a bit is not users migrating to MP, but developers.

Android. The theif.

Doesn't anyone find it odd that we are paying out huge sums of cash for a Linux based OS that is free to use?
Because the cost of the handset doesn't factor into it at all :face palms:
I mean they handed us a broken toy and we fixed it for them with no pay and they sold it back to us as an update, now we are fixing it up more. Hopefully when Android 114.6 rolls out some devs. will for a union of some kind and make some cash from big business instead of settling for the 2.99 that their brothers and sisters are downloading.
Next time put the bong down and think before posting.
Here's your basic argument in another context:
The internet is free so why do we spend so much money on computers to browse web pages?

Oh, no kidding, I had totally forgotten that hardware costs money somewhere on the road to neverland .
Compare prices for free vs paid OS on the same specs. Shouldn't there be a decent difference between the two?

But who is it that decides the devs have been screwed. Is it you? I think that honor goes to each individual who bought the phone. You don't get to determine that someone else has been screwed just because your panties are in a bunch over something related to your phone.
The cost of a non open source operating system on a phone is going to be so heavily subsidized, I'd be surprised if the additional cost was more than a couple of dollars/pounds/whatever. Bottom line is that you're just paying for the device whichever route you take.
Also consider how long android has been out, it is definitely the quickest maturing mobile platform around. Anyone remember the state wm was in at this age?
Edit: I think the developers would rather be "screwed" as you put it in order to bring about progress in a timely manner. That's what open source is all about!

First off, that's a toaster I want.
Second off, you're absolutely right. It's not about the money, it's about taking your phone to the next level and being able to say you were the one who got it there first. I and thousands of others have nothing but respect for these developers and a lot of us give them both props and donations for their work. I'm sure the donations are nice, but I doubt there are many devs on XDA who started writing ROMs and compiling kernels because they thought it would make them rich.
Don't understate the motivational power of random people coming into your thread to say "Your work is awesome, keep it up, and how cool would it be if it did this too?" For some people the respect is all they need, since genuine respect can't be bought, it can only be earned.

I'm going to regret this, but I'm going to give you some free advice:
You need to either break up with him or decide you're willing to sit down talk it out and trust him. A keylogger isn't the answer. He will discover your deception and it will destroy any chance you have of salvaging the relationship up. If you think the relationship isn't worth salvaging then just break up and save your money, its not worth being in if its not worth saving.
Reference/Experience: Psychologist.
Keylogger? May we ask why....? Good luck in whatever you are doing.... -.-...

I'm going to regret this too, but +1.
One of my bosses' kids are at the age (teenagers) where they are wanting Smart Phones now.
He actually has stated that he doesn't feel comfortable just letting them have em, if he doesn't have some kind of keylogging app, or a keyboard that sends data to someplace where he can monitor, just in case. Especially for his daughter.
I feel for him, but I KNOW a lot of people would use it for the wrong reasons.
This shouldn't really be a taboo topic.
And I hate to say it, but suggesting 'breaking up' or a 'psychologist' doesn't really help with the Android App question that she had.
I have been looking for a solution to this too for a while, OP, and have found nothing.
Sometimes it's not about living out your jealousy, sometimes it's about PROVING that someone is a liar, because they are doing it to all of their friends and family, and it's TIME for someone to be smarter than they are.
Just saying. Even though I'm a guy.
I'll still be watching this topic, just in case someone has something helpful to post.

[REQUEST]Apple vs. All timeline?

Hey all,
Recently I have been researching the big hub-bub going on where Apple is suing everyone in sight (my poor attempt at humor). Next thing you know, the guy that invented the Slinky will be getting a subpoena to testify for Apple. I have been VERY busy with the crazed thing I call a life and need a little help here. I am not very delved deep into this massive debate going on between Apple and Google, Samsung, HTC. The thing I request is a "timeline" to loosely term it. Don't automatically discount me as some "lazy" person. I just need the expertise of someone with their nose in this doggy doodoo pile, so to speak. I don't really ask for much, but I haven't followed the battle since the start so my ability to effectively chronologically order the major lawsuits and actions taken by all sides is next to nil. I don't need anything fancy, hell a text file written with Notepad will do, as long as the information is FACTUAL and ordered correctly. If you feel like composing a flashy Powerpoint then by all means do so, but it's not needed. The major points will be elaborated upon and condensed in a 15-20 page Powerpoint by me. Anyways, back to work since my professors getting on my a** about being on XDA.
Thanks, worldindo1.

I do not want to be the asshole here but should we really support someone who has not enough money to buy the glasses to take a loan to get them? I think we should help op rethink this they will be avaible in a cheaper and more consumer ready version within a year or something. but his loan will be influenceing him for at least that time. if you haven't $1500 as playmoney you should never spend it on something like that use ur money for education so that you have 1500$ as playmoney soon.
