Just noticed 5by is now Chromecast-ready. From what I've read, it's from the makers of StumbleUpon, which I've wasted countless hours messing with over the years. It was also GeekWire's App of the Week about a month ago. Give it a try!

One of the nicest apps I've used. I wish something this nice is created for gathering movies and tv shows. Like the Watzontv app, but that app is so messy.
I didn't expect I would enjoy this app this much. Thanks for sharing.

Sounds like a pretty good plan. I will keep note of that
Yeah I got Spanish. No, picture this, we have Block Scheduling. One day I have 4 classes, the next day I have 4 different classes. The third day I have the first 4, and etc... It's nice because I get 2 nights to do my homework, but I rarely get to it either way.
After 4 hours, I go to football practice until around 6, and if I stay and lift, 7:30. Get home, eat, relax, it's 8:30. 30 minutes to an hour to do all of my homework. Yeah. try it kid!
Running out of time and you're only in high school! It's gonna be a long road ahead buddy

Try 2 full time jobs because your wife gets disabled and 2 small children at home then come back here and talk about time. You learn to survive on 3-5 hours of sleep a day.

And if its Android i would say the same. Oh and get some credit, unless your on contract.
I would eat a ****load of chips and salsa about 4 hours before leaving.
Prank Call company's / people on the bus

yea just go up to them and start sayin random things to start a convo ... preferrably women ... it also helps if u act like ur drunk so they think its normal that u wanna socialize and ur not a freak
When they are asleep put toothpaste on their finger, and their eyelid. When they wake up. they will wipe it... it will sting like a *****
(hope I am not too late, but on the 15th you said 4 days so I should just be in!)
Also, stupid bets to past the time when hiking could be fun. Not sure what you could do, but be creative!
One of our own made it into Round 2 of the Google IO challenge! Developer teleknEsis had this to say about it...
The first round was just 6 obscure Android questions that we had to answer in 30 minutes. Top 200 people went on to round 2.
Round 2 was to create an Android version of the HTML5 countdown clock on the homepage of the google io site. They changed up the site today for St Pattie's day and changed the bouncing colored balls to floating 4-leaf clovers, but it's still the same concept more or less. We had about 20 hours to do it (although less for me b/c I had to wait to get off work)
So I created an app for Android that has little bouncy Androids instead of colored balls.

HERE'S a little more about the contest itself. I'm sure everyone will join me in congratulating teleknEsis and wishing him luck in the future. Hopefully he'll be able to update us with his progress here.
Thanks.
Thanks for letting us know and good luck to our XDA Dev!!
Good Luck! I hope He wins.

Thanks guys, I definitely appreciate the support! I don't think I'm going to find out if I won until April 4th but until then I'm keeping my fingers crossed!
If anyone would like to test the app I submitted send me a PM and I'll send you a link to download, and in the mean time I will let you guys know if I hear anything!
Please keep us updated!
And if you want to make your app free public in XDA I can write an article about it.
Let me know via PM
Good luck!
Congratulations for getti this far dude! Hope you win!

A not so happy ending...
Well, I'm sad to announce I was not one of the top 10 Android winners
It seems they gave a lot of credit to final app size (even tho mine was still 20 kb) and a few of the people used some tools to shrink the final apk. Once I found out about this I did it to my apk as well and was on par with their size (11 kb).
It's disappointing, but at the same time, I'm still incredibly happy how things turned out. I was w/in the top 38 people who competed and that in and of itself is something to be proud of.
I also learned a TON from this challenge because prior to it I had never done custom animations or even worked with the Canvas class - both of which I can say I'm very comfortable with now. So in only 9 hours I learned how to do custom animations and created an awesome app - AMAZING!
So, long story short, while I may not have won, I'm still holding my head up high and there's always next time.
I did, however, turn my submission into a live wallpaper and made it the system clock rather than a countdown clock. I stuck it on the market for $0.99 so who knows, if it sells like hot cakes then maybe I will have enough $$ to buy an I/O ticket on eBay.
So.... what are you waiting for?! Go buy my app and check it out!!!

How nice. I already have it because amazon had it for free years ago. But very nice of them indeed.
Thanks! I just grabbed it! I've heard good things about it.
So, many of you geeks out there must be following Dexter T.V. show. So what do you think about the ending? I think it was a perfect end. Put your thoughts to words here!

I wasn't expecting a happy ending - that would have been insulting.
But, it should have been done better. It's like we've spent the last 7 years getting to know someone inside out, and then they change in the last 5 minutes of the show into something completely different. Is anyone else reminded of Anakin's 5 minute journey to The Dark Side? It was just badly portrayed.
Apparently though, the last series was meant to span over at least 2, which is where the rumours about it having another series to go came from. They did cram in too much story and that spoilt it.
The last series was rubbish for me. It pretty much killed my appreciation for what had come before.

Maybe they crammed too much story that's why people were expecting a somewhat different ending. I feel that the reason why he succumbed into seclusion was because of his very nature. We know Dexter as the person who is known for taking decisions no one could.
But I agree to the point that they did cram too much story in last season. Though it's disappointing to see him like that but he could not have done anything else accounting to his very character.
