True I hear you. My schedule is rough but I def. want to do something with her. I found some common ground tonight with her but I think just leaving a text like that will keep me on her mind for the time being.

1. Take Notes on
2. Browse the Web
3. Read Books
4. Play Angry Birds

Quite frankly, 2.2, 3.0, and iOS do all four relatively well. Don't get me wrong, when I get my devices, I play around with them to the max (jailbreaking, rooting, customizing etc), but after about a month I revert to doing the top 4 over and over again. A NC is a tablet because it does all those things at a proficient level.



Wrong. That's like saying a pc from 96 is just as good as today's machines.

1. take notes on it
2. Browse a website or 2, hopefully doesn't crash
3. Work on Office documents
4. Play solitaire.

Quite frankly a machine from '96 can accomplish all these tasks as well. Some people like their devices more modern. Going beyond just playing Solitaire or minesweeper(Angry Birds).

Better spec'd devices usually leads to better performance and a better overall experience.

To narrow down a tablet to just 4 tasks is short sighted. Honeycomb facilitates a well rounded computer experience on the go. Not hating, I just think the XOOM far out surpasses the Nook Color. Not even a contest in my book. Only reason you would get a NOOK is if reading is your primary concern or if you don't want to drop more then $300 on a tablet.

The primetime super tablets that will sell for ~$300 won't be around till after Sept. If you want a completer tablet experience right now, you pay the premium, or settle for a degraded tablet experience. I wisely choose the full experience.

Does the 96 machine have the portability and efficiency the 2011 machine does? Not even close. However, the speed difference is negligible between the two devices. Maybe a worth application will become available that will utilize the dual core processor, but as of now, the NC is running the same applications quite well. What other task is the average person going to need a tablet for?

I guess the experience can't be explained in mere words. You would need to have the xoom for a few days to truly understand why it's a superior device and clearly worth the added premium.

I also believe Google is only allowing manufacturers to use Honeycomb on dual core devices, suggesting that the OS is optimized for dual core processors. Google is also with holding the source for Honeycomb. Reason would be that Honeycomb doesn't run as well on last generation processors, also evidenced by Nook color users suggesting Honeycomb to be buggy and laggy.

Also, the accelerometer was not designed for gaming in the Nook color. Any game that relies on the accelerometer is pretty useless. Not that the NC is bad, just that the XOOM is the first device Google intended to run Honeycomb. At this point, I wouldn't downgrade.

Once you've played with a xoom for a considerable amount of time I think you would agree as well. if anything, Ill be moving up to Galaxy 10.1" Tab. That device looks even sicker then the xoom and is much lighter.

There's an evolution that happens in technology, where newer devices clearly surpass the earlier generations.

Phones
G1->Droid->Nexus One->Galaxy S 4g->Atrix ( all within 2 - 3 years)

Tablets
Nook Color->Galaxy Tab 7" -> Xoom

The xoom is the next generation device. Choosing the NC over the xoom would be akin to choosing a G1 when a Nexus One has already been released.

I dunno about you but I think this would be a huge mistake if nolan was not involved in an capacity...this man has changed the game of comic book/video game heroes movies for me with the realistic feel to it and well I personally dont want this to stop after 3 movies but he has said over and over that this is his last batman film so...who knows???

He asically botched the last film with his villain choice. Bain and Catwoman? Eh. They don't really fit his style. If he used Riddler and brought 2Face back then I can see the movie being better. He could've made Riddler into a true psychological criminal and he could've furthered the story of 2Face.

Nolan is overrated as a hell. heath made the dark knight. if it wasn't for him, this film would have blown.


secondly, how realistic can he actually make a JL film? it has superman, wonder woman, and the green lantern for godsakes.

Inception just shows Nolan's talent. Better than Cameron.

Even suggesting Cameron is 1/10 as good as Nolan is outrageous. Memento, both Batman films, Inception, and the Prestige is a pretty crazy last 10 years.

IMO, Top-3 working directors is probably:

1) Paul Thomas Anderson
2) Danny Boyle
3) Christopher Nolan

Cameron wouldn't make the top-20. Avatar was a cool movie, but nowhere near TWBB/Memento/Sunshine which are the top movies of the other 3 IMO. Most would say Slumdog is Boyle's best, but I like Sunshine and 28 Days Later more.
