Android App My Tracks Can Get you out of a Speeding Ticket. - Epic 4G General

My buddy, sent me this on twitter:

Pretty cool!!

FTA: "...unable to recall when was the last time he had been trained with his radar gun or when it was last calibrated, Katta was found not guilty by the judge."
That's the real reason. I doubt it had anything to do with MyTracks.
Good to have, though, for peace of mind.

Well, still if you have proof with a print out from my tracks, it definitely helps.
I remember i got a speeding ticket and tried to pull the calibration card and i didnt even stand a chance cause i didnt have proof. But i just posted this story cause i thought it was cool what our awesome phones do.

Yeah, this app definitely wouldn't be helping me out of a speeding ticket...

I need the app that has a jedi mind trick on the cop to say that it was another driver driving and vehicle speeding.

Whew! Talk about lucky (yeah, another toilet story).

Ever wanted to kill your wife after she dropped her evo into the crapper? I have. Just happened on Saturday. She forgot it was in her back pocket, and out it slipped (luckily pre-dump, lol). Pulled the battery right away, and buried it in a sealed tupperware container of rice. After a day and a half, took it out, and it works. Still has moisture under the screen, and the haptic feedback for the capacitive buttons isn't working right, but she can deal with those two things, unless they're cheap to fix. We'll see how things go over a longer period, as I just took it out today, but I've got some hope at least. Just felt like sharing a little messed up story.
I bet it went plop!
Nope, can't say I ever wanted to kill someone over a piece of electronics.

Wow, this thread took a weird turn. Looks like I might have to hurt someone after all, as it seems the phone stopped working after about 2 days. Now it's stuck at the splash screen. Oh, and btw, I wasn't talking about literally killing someone.
but was she good in bed?

That does suck. My first thought when I read your OP was that a day and a half isn't long enough in rice.
Buy your wife lots of new shoes, and use the desiccant packs to dry out the evo. Then return the shoes to punnish her

You're posting off topic. This thread is no longer about swype, it's about getting the OP to own up to his idiocy.
In my own defense, I'm not trying to make the guy look bad; He already did that. I just want to read his response. I don't want to PM him because I know 1 of 2 things will happen:
A) I'm just gonna get a bunch of profanities back
B) No response
Fair point, metal. Actually reading what he said, I can see how mocking him would be more entertaining...
Stole.... sense? Who accuses people of things like that? Haha.
And I feel like somewhere in the kitchen/cellphone thing there is a joke about lte and the little I've heard about appliances having lte. But, alas, I cannot find it on my own.

Nah, there are a few possible scenarios:

Does the Xoom.......

No but it can let you time travel. Unfortunately your safety is not guaranteed under the factory warranty.
Pervert...
it's not as good as the Ipad then!
But it can see around corners.

While the Xoom camera is not able to allow you to see through solid objects (and I'm pretty sure the iPad can't either) it can turn into an x-wing fighter. Not sure how useful that feature is to you though.

But don't you have to spend hours searching the supermarket for exactly the right type of bacon?
Because, I heard it only cooks low profile bacon, which has to have a precise ratio of protein, to fat, to sodium nitrate.

To me it seems ridiculous that he was a bystander that just happened to be there and decided to catch it on tape. How is that illegal? Nothing he was doing was illegal at all. To top it off the cops pull guns on him? Sounds like Miami police has problems.
I find it impressive that he was able to get the micro-sd card out of the evo fast enough. That thing tends to be a pain to remove let alone when you are in a hurry.

One of the users in the comments read this in a article.
"He didn't have a weapon. He hit a police officer earlier that day with his car. The officer was not severly injured and was part of the five that took part in this shooting. They found him later that day, surrounded him, yelled at him to put his hands on his head, and proceeded to unload 90 bullets on him, four innocent bystanders were hit by the cops during this exchange."
Sounds to me they have some really bad cops.

Unfortunately anybody can be a cop nowadays...and that's what happens when you give power to week minds, it's abused.
No offense to cops, i'm sure there are good ones also it's just that the pre-requisites to becoming a cop should be harder and more particular imo. Then again, there is already a shortage of police. So what can you do.

Believe it or not but I never had any negative feelings towards ios until the announcement of ios 5. Pretty amazing how gullible people are and apple feeds on it perfectly...
I can see why cops wouldn't want this posted on the internet, since it could potentially show their faces and make them vulnerable, but imo that just comes with the territory. They have all that power and it's only right that ordinary citizens have some sort of check on them

There is no way he took the sd card out while the video was being shot, because you have to remove the battery. This would turn the phone off, which means he can't be recording like he is till the end..

Most of the Android apps I use have ads plastered all over them, there's no reason to suppose these glasses will be any different.
I just wonder how long it will be before someone is killed wandering around blindly using these things. As if being "powered" by Google isn't bad enough, the safety implications are quite obvious.

We are already at risk with people texting and driving and being general morons with phones anyways. Glasses might make things worse but I'd think they might see what's in front of them one day with them on.

Cool! But I’m sure Apple will sue anyone who tries to manufacture them!
Since they hold "retina display" patent already, they will certainly try to apply to everything to squeeze as much money as they can.
I like the design, but we already have a big enough problem with texting and driving deaths. The last thing we need is another distraction.
