I want to find a machine that makes shaved ice for drinks. not like a snow cone machine, but the ones like they have at some restaurants? I know someone here with all the genius minds that make my phone awesome must have come across one in there time?

Please lengthen your message to at least 10 characters

no just ice for drinks like water, soda etc, i guess crushed ice might be the better term

Ice Cubes - Towel - Hammer.
Not sophisticated or elegant but does the job.

THis is true and is a very college thing to do... i was thinking maybe a blender as well

Just get some liquid nitrogen and make ice cream. Best story ever and it makes amazing ice cream.

Anything quick, us geeks are always busy doing something.
Or busy doing nothing, obesity should be a main characteristic of the fabled geek...yet it's been pretty clear to me that a lot of geeks I know are skinny, I have no clue why (I am included in the skinny statistic)
Snacks. Biscuits, crisps, chocolate bars, etc.

I noticed, I gained 20 pounds in the last 3/4ths of the year.
Best food for geeks:
1. Anything that I can eat in front of the monitor/keyboard
2. Something that is easy to clean off said monitor/keyboard
3. Something sweet and diabetic-coma inducing to wash it down
So a shadowrun themed cookbook with wyvern tail and spectral chips? I am a geek/cook so I can cook 18 hours in a day while going on my nexus one

I hate utopian optimistic people who mistake being REALIST for PESSIMISTIC.
For them, everything that isn't "oh it will be all ok and better, much better!" is pessimism. That's incredibly annoying.

King of the Hill

i move a small band of rebels close to the hill, you scramble your helicopters which attack the wrong people.. something to do with the communication devices you were using not being compatible (probably made by apple?). the friendly fire incident leaves your troops in utter chaos allowing my small band of rebels to walk in and take the hill like candy from a baby.

Sheesh. I am king of XDA's OT, hence in anything that is under MY province shall acknowledge me as king.
Kneel, or you will be made to kneel (mostly by me asking real nicely, pretty please with cherries and berries on top), to your King.

PFFFFT?! King?! My arse! You are a squire at most, your long absence has made you weak and lowered your rankings my good sir.
Now you will be brought down by the sword and made to profitable labor by the whip! (Or you can just continue making fun of Husam, whichever tickles your fancy) Don't tickle your fancy while I'm around, I get....uncomfortable.

You, my good sir, is most certainly wrong. I have long carved out my Kingship of XDA's off-topic with my rapier wit, broadsword trolling, hammering command of English, scalpel-like sarcasm, vice-hard poetry, brass-knuckle-duster-worthy teasing of Husam's virginity, arrow-straight love of Transformers pr0n and, most of all, my nuclear bomb power of the "Off-Topic Endless Loop" (patent pending).
As King, I have a most noble heritage and it is my right, and possibly my left too, to be THE KING!
And I shall not do manual labour.

The worst thing about Ice Cream Sandwitch

OK, so first off: think "Honeycomb." What comes to mind? An intricate heaxagonal lattice inhabitted by social insects with cool names and functions such as "queen" and "drone." It's no wonder the Android Honeycomb OS has inspired so many cool themes and desktop Wallpapers.
Now here's the challenege: Think "Ice Cream Sandwitch." What comes to mind? A kids treat. Now try to think of a single, solitary, cool theme or wallpaper inspired by the word "Ice Cream Sandwitch." You can't, can you? That's because it's not possible. Indeed, scientists working at NASA, JPL and CERN have proven that it's impossible to derive a single cool theme or wallpaper from something as dorky as an ice cream sandwitch.
How sad.
Really? That was worth a post? Should have instead looked up how to spell sandwich.
I assume you just make fun of it by wrong spelling "sandwich", anyway, if not Ice Cream Sandwich, what is your suggestion then?
What an Ice Cream Sandwich means to me
When I think about eating an Ice Cream Sandwich on a hot, humid day, my heart races with excitement as my tired mind becomes enthralled with thoughts of slowly consuming a wondrously cool delicacy, so refreshingly simple that my taste buds gasp with delightful excitement. As I open my eyes, I realize there's a Samsung Galaxy S2 "Within" my hand.
IDK, I could envision a three striped wallpaper: two thin dark brown on the edges separated by a large centered white stripe.
Also the variety...
Ever had a half and half ice cream sandwich?
What about a chipwich? mmm chocolate chips...
I like to get a wide straw and poke out a hole through most of it, then backfill with chocolate syrup. Yum.
dark with cool icy blue highlights. Just because you suffer from a rather limited imagination do not assume that your failing extends to the whole human race.
I hope this is just a poor example of trolling as who would really think the restrictive regular pattern of hexagons and the extreme regimented social structure of bees is a boon to design ideas.

And you need a theme to remind you what operating system you're using because...?

What's wrong with getting a little off topic? All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy. Besides the topic of this thread is pretty useless anyway.
I'd much rather eat an ice cream sandwich than a honeycomb. Maybe the OP is some sort of health nut.

Have you ever had a random invention/idea that you think would be awsome? wel how about lets share these ideas here! Feel free to comment on ideas as well as post your own, I will start...
veding machines (pop/candy/chips): all vending machines should have a "mystery" button you put a dollar in and select "mystery" and it will randomly choose an item to vend. Somtimes people just cant make up thier mond standing in front of the vending machine holding up a line while they choose between m&m's and Twix, or coke and dr pepper, why not let the machine do the thinking for you!

I wanted to patent a mechanism where idiots who make new topics without doing a quick search for it are mauled by a non-teddy bear of popular choice.
Fortunately or not, you are not going to be mauled today.
i wanted to make a refrigerator with a touch panel at the door that functions as a grocery helper. example : if we want to buy milk, we don't have to go to the groceries. The onboard AI will contact the shop's computer to send a gallon of milk to our house.
