Shameless self-promoting - I sell residential solar power systems

My company is ***.
Just in case anyone knows anyone with questions or who is looking into this, thought I would put it out there that I'm in the industry.
All you need to get a solar iQuote is an internet connection and 5 minutes.

I'd love one set too, but we don't have a sellback clause (yet!), and I (personally) live on the ground floor of a flat. But my parent's might be interested
Good to see more renewable energy alternatives coming up.

How many pairs of headphones have you broken?

So I think this is a valid question, how many pairs of head phones have you gone through? I swear I've gone through like 14 or so, probably 6 of them are them damn apple headphones.
So how many have you gone through?
Post your answer as a reply to this post.

Say what you like about apple headphones but they are the only ones I've used for about 5years and I don't see that changing anytime soon.
Never broken a pair but worn plenty out.

too many to count

Too many but thats about only 4 anyway
Max. (From my Galaxy 2)

I Can't remember the exact number, but all my previous ones are bad quality.

None.
Perhaps it's gods way of telling you to invest in better headphones? My Shure SE530 set are still good after four years.
The Sennheiser HD650 i use at home will last a lifetime without breaking, but then i look after my stuff!

Wow they're nice, but i dont think even them will stand up to how mine are broke (Accidental chewing of them, and washing machine

Perhaps not as nice as the Grado RS1 i used to own, but i had to sell those.*
I have a pair Of Senn HD595 just sitting in my drawer gathering dust too. A bit of a waste really.
* Another of life's ironies. (Or punishments). I sold the Grado's when i desperately needed cash for food. Took the money to pay into the Bank and crashed my car on the way. Car was a write off. Ended up worse off, (no headphones and no money), and had to run to and from work, six miles a day, for two years.
Whatever i did wrong in a former life, i've been punished enough already!

At least 20. That's why i don't buy super expensive headphones... and sunglasses

Mine get mangled working on the farm, so I buy cheapos for work and have one good pair for everywhere else.
I would say about 10 in two years.

My Screen is Cracked and Not-Functional (Video)

...? What's the point of the video? You either can replace the screen or not.

To explain why I haven't made any videos on it recently? I don't know.

Yet another screen crack starting from the left side.... The question is did you drop it or hit it against the trim piece. Did you have screen lift/ loose issue..
If you have the lift issue call google.. or asus .

You actually put a 2 minute video showing a cracked screen???

Lol i downloaded the cracked screen app and blamed my lil bro. Dont worry i told hom after 10 minutes

You cracked ur 8GB so your parent's are replacing it with a 16GB?!
Man kids these days are lucky. I remember when I broke something I cried for I got in trouble and never got a replacement.

Touch screen not working?
Flashing!

I felt bad for your tab, but upon watching a video that had no use, rather you could have posted a picture and that would have done the job, I couldn't understand a word you said, It was like you were on a sugar rush.
Also, who does a shoutout when their tab is broken?

My dad bought it with his Amex Card. Whenever you buy something with an Amex card, it is automatically covered with Insurance. We are going to get the money back and also keep the 8 GB. With the money, we are going to buy a new 16 GB one.

OT:
I would agree with you strongly on this. Back in the years my pops would only get me something he felt was "worth it" for my age. If I had asked him for anything over $100 it was a strong NO until I came to realize it's value/worth. If not for that I wouldn't be looking after all my gadgets like they were diamonds.
Pops can fork over $200 more for a new N7 but it's useless if you aren't a developer. I would agree if you had an 8GB, it broke, but you're a developer and daddy got you a brand new one because it was worth it, not for Angry Birds in HD. But wow, this is outrageous. if daddy forks it over way too fast, then you'll never look after your things. Ever. If anything, you might aswell learn/do something with your tab, You're like what? 13+ by the sound of your voice. You're young, do something with all those gadget's you have marked under your signature and maybe daddy's Amex would be worth it.

Are you saying I should start developing? I know a lot about ROMs and stuff like that. I also know alot about tech. I am looking to start developing. Actually, I am in a group here on XDA for beginning ROM building. Also, I didn't break the tab. I'm 12 BTW. I am also a Senior Member here on XDA. Like I said, I am knowledgeable in this stuff.

Well, In all honestly, I didn't see the need for this thread, You may call it bashing but I call it bulk. If you're getting it replaced, and the older tab is covered under the insurance why the need for this thread?, If you're asking for help, the best you'll get are links you can get the parts separately or stuff you could probably Google it yourself. Why not get that repaired elsewhere and enjoy the new 16GB, In the end you'll have 2 tabs and one which won't become and expensive paperweight. You can't sell that tab because Nexus are known for their no on screen buttons, and whats the use if the digitizer/glass is cracked and all you can do is turn it on to show the pretty wallpaper.
If anything I'm not mad here, Just find it insane that you made this thread to tell us "Daddy's replacing it with a new 16GB with his Amex" well, good for you kiddo.

I see people all the time making videos about their broken tabs and phones so I decided to do it to. My dad isn't even going to have to pay for the new Nexus. He is getting it with the insurance money. Also, about my other phones and stuff, I bought then with my own money for big discounts from friends and stuff like that. I don't even have a PC or Laptop. I had a choice between the N7 and a PC/laptop. I got the N7 because I like playing with ROMs and stuff. Also, I knew I could make some vids on the Nexus. Last thing, the Nexus 7 only costs 200$ and a good PC/Laptop costs over 700$. I'm not asking for help, I was just saying that it broke. The reason I am getting it replaced is because t wasn't me who broke it. If I broke it, I wouldn't be getting a new one.

Well that wasn't a smart choice, How do you expect to "learn" about ROM's or developing in general when infact 99% of all that requires a PC, if anything your own personal storage that people won't erase because your stuff makes no sense to the non techy's---buddy, joining a group on ROM building/development with a tab is like joining a bodybuilding competition with flabs.
Anyways I'm done here.

Genome Sequencing

When my mom asked my kid brother what he wanted for his birthday he asked to have his DNA or genome sequenced to find out his genotype. (Or something like that, I'm still learning about all this.) She asked me to pick out a computer for him haha. But I've been doing some research and I think it's a really good idea! They can tell you what health issues you are predisposition to, and give your doctor information about your genetic structure that would help him better prescribe medicine. Also they tell you your genetic ancestry, genetic relatives, and even what percent Neanderthal you are. haha
23andme will do it for $300. I heard about them through Wired, and their website looks good.
Has anyone ever done this or know someone who has? What company did you use?
On the other hand if you think it's a bad idea for some reason, tell me why. So far I don't see any reason why not to do this. Frankly I am dumbfounded that health insurance companies do not require it.

Seems like a worthwhile idea. I didn't know it was as inexpensive as $300 already, I figured it was still like a couple hundred thousand or more. If I had the disposable income, I'd probably go for it.

I know right. And the way I understand it they continue to check different new diseases against your genotype and update your predispositions on your profile, for the initial $300. They add new genetic relatives on your family tree too.
It's just such a new thing I don't know what I might should be concerned about, or who has good track records. I was hoping someone had already had it done and could share their experience.

Right. But what I'm most concerned about is will the rogue DNA recognize me as its genetic match and obey my commands. I don't want Dr Frankenstein to build a monster out of me if I can't control myself, ya know? The cloning feature was only a bit extra, but I don't want a genetic friend. I want to be able to sleep in and force my genetic equivalent go to work and clean the house, and the ESP control feature is a little out of my price range.

There are downsides. How differently would you lived your life if you knew there was an increased likelihood of dying early from some terrible disease. I think in most cases I would want to know, but not everyone would want to.
The biggest problem is going to be when insurance companies start to require this testing as a way to get coverage. Then those people with "bad genetics" will be forced to pay higher premiums.

Haven't done it. But at $300 its getting a lot closer to what I'd be willing to pay and im sure eventually it will be cheap enough for insurance companies to cover it since it would let them know about possible medical expenses down the road.

I think it's a worth while upgrade, I don't believe that you'd regret it.
It might be a good idea to wait for a little bit until the first batches are gone and you can get a 2nd batch handset.
I've got no issues really with mine, it's a decent handset and I love it harder than any phone I've ever owned.
I think the fact that you're asking this in the 'One' threads is a bit hit & miss as we're probably more biased towards getting one than not but then again we can give you an accurate idea of what the handset is like... swings & roundabouts.
