Halfway through your long and complex password and *possibly* making a typo so you start all over again. #firstworldproblems

So I finally have the Nexus 4, 7 and 10. That's quite impressive when you consider how much I usually love Microsoft.

Pros:
  • Nexus 4 lets me use the apps I've already bought for my old Samsung Galaxy Nexus
  • Nexus 4 can be rooted to install all sorts of cool things (unlike Windows Phone 8)
  • Nexus 7 isn't ridiculously locked into Amazon's services (unlike Kindle Fire HD)
  • Nexus 7 lets me use the apps I've already bought for my SGN and N4
  • Nexus 10 is considerably cheaper than the Surface Pro
  • Nexus 10 is more readily available than the Surface Pro
  • Nexus 10 lets me use the apps I've already bought for my SGN/N4/N7
  • Nexus 10 appears to have a much better battery life than the Surface Pro
  • They don't support Flash (officially) - I guess some people would consider this a con
Cons:
  • They don't run Windows software (but I do have a decent Remote Desktop client, with multi-touch support)
  • Wireless connection doesn't seem to be as quick as I'd expect, even the 5GHz 802.11n on the Nexus 10!
  • The SkyGo app doesn't support the Nexus 10 (or my [temporary un]rooted Nexus 4)
  • The BBC iPlayer app is the mobile website in Chrome, and it won't let me request the desktop site (HD streams?)
  • Matroska support is limited, especially 1080p files with DTS audio (BS Player seems to cope best)
I'm spending a lot of time playing Football Manager Handheld 2013 (as Arsenal), which reminds me of Championship Manager 2 from the mid '90s (at one point I wondered if this was a port of the old C code, minus the voice of Clive Tyldesley, with the latest football database). All that power, and I end up playing something so basic.

I "accidentally" bought a Nexus 10 to go with my Nexus 4 & 7. So much for me disliking Google. Would buy Surface Pro if it was much cheaper.

Why don't Arsenal play the first 90 minutes anything like the last 4 minutes of injury time? Another season without winning anything? :(

Broke a glass and cut my hand. Let's hope Arsenal have better luck today.

So far no one else has done a better version than the original Harlem Shake: https://t.co/7ioFOkCi

Might have found a use for my "old" Samsung Galaxy Nexus: Ubuntu for phones out on February 21. http://t.co/PCPsvPwo

On the plus side, I made myself a Domain Admin on a customer's network. They weren't entirely expecting that (they did ask for a pentest!).

*generic rant about awful people taking trains* The majority are okay, but some people make you want to hit them. Hard. Until they bleed.

Beer helps when you're tidying up the house, right? #somanysatacables http://t.co/I3iXg4VU

Clearing out some computer parts, but can't bear to throw away this very old and trusty ATI Mach64 PCI graphics card. http://t.co/MVBtSats

Really like the new version of the Sky+ app on my phone!

I like the scientists; not so keen on the this emotional woman. Richard III. Good find.

Heading back from London for a 4th day in a row. This time was for pleasure, watching Arsenal win at the Emirates. Bloody cold though. #COYG

Ticket from man on train didn't like the barriers, had to ask the friendly staff members to let me through. Tickets are definitely annoying.

Solitary ticket machine never works when wet, ticket office closed. Thankfully someone wanted my money on the train. Tickets are annoying.
