Side note: We have an SSA page on there too.

My current phone, with supposedly a decent processor, cannot keep up with what I need. Bogs down, locks up, and gets very slow even during texting at the gym while listening to music. Weird. You must have a bunch of stuff open at once. My basic RAZR m works fine with 6 chrome tabs open, pdf viewer, texting, and Pandora all at once. I've gone through a handful of different series of thought, some Android geeks say to kill apps often, others say it is best to leave them alone. Restart daily, which is a very long process. Not sure what Android OS you have, but the current has a button showing active apps and you can swipe each to kill it, so it's fast and easy. Believe the latest version has not been rolled out to my phone.

It should be noted that the RAM management of Android is vastly different than your typical computer. Having 6 tabs "open" really isn't so. Android actively monitors RAM and shuts things down (or removes the ability to quickly recall something you haven't used in a while) as needed. For instance. If you have 6 chrome tabs open it may save the pages into RAM for fast flipping between them. However, as you begin to use other programs Android will likely save some sort of "screenshot" but dump the what is needed to interact with it to free up RAM. The freed RAM will then be used to remember what page you left the new programs on or something else useful. Therefore, when you come back to Chrome it will show that "screenshot" quickly before re-loading the page entirely. It's really a genius system, but took a while to perfect. Apple, on the other hand would just pause a program when you navigate away form it. Android allocates ~10% of resources to continue to process "background apps" and gives priority to most recently used programs. On your computer it process each screen as if it is the foreground program being used, Android does not. All that to say, that your Razr M does handle all of that, with ease, but its not as revealing to the performance of your device like it would be on a PC. Android has made massive improvements to RAM management and performance increase has also come from sheer increases in phone "horsepower". Theoretically, it should matter how much you have running, as Android should be able to strip away the lower priority to keep your experience smooth. The older phones did a terrible job of that. Since then they have made improvements to the system to do a better job of this while maintaining multitasking. Many of these characteristics are why I am highly considering a Chomebook to have on me at all times. My lappy is a tank, and it would be very sweet to have a moderate sized tablet (with keyboard because no touch screen does what I need when it comes to typing fast and assurance that the correct key was hit), that has good battery life and is quite inexpensive. BUT, and this is a big one, the Chromebooks seem to not allow any outside software installation.

Thanks for that. Yes, Verizon, and yes, in retrospect, I realize the Thunderbolt was half-baked a few months after purchase, even with the heavy aftermarket hunch back battery and 4G off, battery life BLOWS. And yes, I cycle the battery letting it die fully and charge it fully. But, even then, just like the smaller stock battery, it needs to charge here the whole day at the office, and every night while I sleep, sometimes the car charger is a must too, so the MASS majority of it's life, my phone has been on the charger. RUN-ON I KNOW!!! .

Totally missed this, great photos.

Samsung I assume? The quad core processor on the DNA would be sweet to have.

Sean, whats the story on the HTC - DNA? Is it the direction to take for step up from the Thunderbolt?

For one group of people (instead of the other) to do a silly stunt for the holiday, I think they are raising a little bit of charity money.

Thank you to everyone that voted. Looks like it really helped because it came down to a tie, so with out you guys it would have been a bad loss.

Thanks guys for the double vote.

I did it a little in the past in the summers.

Thank you.

The burning lets you know it's working. Yup, when my hunger drive keeps going, I know I've hit a good one. When I feel like eating every hour I know I'm on track. It was impossible to gain weight when I had this manual labor job and was lifting and going to martial arts classes. I would go through a picknick family sized cooler of food a day. Only 70% was healthy food too. Half my lunches with the fellas were 2 tripple whoppers and fries and a half gallon of whole milk. Easily scratched 7500 kcal a day some of those days. I miss that truely hungry feeling. Proud of ya Aaron. It's hard to do as we get older and even more so with you having the little man and basically 3 jobs of work and playing soccer. Thanks for the positive words. I am so cranked into my schedule, I am almost dependent on my work outs. Still slowly dropping a little weight here and there. Speaking of jobs, considering being a manager for a DJ I know. Wouldn't be too much, but we will see.
