This is quite off topic, but according to the news, the US will be experiencing a Solar Eclipse Sunday all over the country around noon (not specified). They say it will look like a black circle with a ring of fire around it. From what I knew, I thought it was a white ring or maybe this is a special one. But anyways, everyone just look out for everything going dark and go check out this rare event. The last one in the US was 18 years ago.
CORRECTION: Got some incorrect info. It should be around night time for most of the US but around 5PM-6PM for the West Coast. And this is a very unique Solar Eclipse. Its actually an Annual Eclipse. The moon will not cover the sun completely causing it to look like a red ring of fire unlike a standard eclipse which is only a white looking circle.
Kewl, thanks for the info!

Not really the ring of fire solar eclipse happens every 18 years like clockwork lol not real hard to predict, I predict it will happen in 2030, which is when it will occur again, does that make me some kind of prophet?

The Calender ending not what its about. Its the end of a cycle. There will be an awakening on that day. Another theory by the Mayans is that we will have a visit from the lords of the stars.

The annual eclipse? Because most people lived way longer than 17 years old and its not hard to predict the previous generations seeing.it every 18 years.. and no predictions have been correct. People add things to the calendar after the event has happened. Did anything happen in 2000? Nope? 9/11 wasn't on the calendar until after the event. It's a fake prediction.

Lol really? They had a calander obviously, not hard to mark down the event each time it occurs and then track it across multiple generations to see it occurs on a pattern. They were pretty good with math. That's like saying how did they build the temples they didn't have the tools and none of them were architects. And the end of the Mayan calander only coincides with the end of a solar/lunar cycle it completely meaningless other than it's time for a new cycle to begin. Any and all predictions made by anyone, Mayans, Nostradamus, etc are purposefully generic enough that any similar event can claim the prediction came true.

Well I'm not one of the sheep that believe in any of that crap, no worlds end predictions no magic bearded man on a cloud granting wishes. I'd believe the ninja turtles and transformers were real first any and all organized religions are the exact same stories regurgitated over and over with different names and places attached if you actually read all of the books(I have) there are so many contradictions in them I can't believe anything in the books are more than just stories, not that I don't believe in a God just not the ones from any of the books

I can drop the religion bombshell. But there's no arguing with it.

I'm not saying ANYONE'S religion is incorrect, I'm just saying anyone can say anything and just because someone in the past said something, it doesn't matter besides a historical standpoint? I can say the world will end in the year 3000 on some stone and future generations will freak out.. the myans I think have only predicted one think correctly out of countless.. when you predict so many things, one out of all of them are bound to be correct.. and for anyone who thinks, we aren't arguing, we are seriously discussing lol..
But anyways, guys, come on, A BADASS RING OF FIRE SOLAR ECLIPSE and the last was 18ish years ago.. its going to be amazing

I wouldn't say anyone is wrong for believing whatever the believe, I just don't believe in the book versions of things, thousands of years of stories combined and edited into one book doesn't not a believer make me, since the Christian version has been called the bible its already been translated, edited and revised hundreds if not more times, so if it was the word of god the meaning has been lost along the way. Remember that game "telephone" by the time you get to the end of the line whatever was originally said doesn't even exist anymore and a whole new phrase comes out, try that in dozens of languages across thousands of years and different cultures and see what happens. A good example of why I don't follow organized religion is Scientology didn't even exist 50 or 60 years ago and now its a recognized religion with all the protections and tax exemptions to boot its sad nothing is really sacred anymore, I think I'm gonna start the church of the android and get me a tax exempt status . The ring of fire solar eclipses are cool, I have some photos of the last one taken with a telephoto lens and a solar filter in one of my photo albums somewhere. Yeah I'm old enough to have seen and remember the last one, they are one of the only solar eclipses you can look at with the naked eye, most others you need a filter to see so you don't go blind and so you can actually see the eclipse cuz they are caused by a. Venus or mercury and not the moon

All threads in all forums (not just Epic's) by John were locked by 'upper management' so to speak with XDA, so I'm guessing they didn't like the initial approach of things for whatever reason. I PM'ed him earlier today myself and asked about it for curiosity's sake and he said 'we' were in talks with XDA and he hoped to be able to post some details again soon in a new thread. Without being privy to the particulars of all that, my guess is that they'd prefer him be isolated to some higher level 'general' XDA forum and all interaction/feedback occur in one central thread than have a separate thread with every device of theirs. But that's purely a guess on my part.

I dont want to believe this, but it makes me wonder.
His last activity was 6:49 today, so I doubt he is gonna make any post regarding what he promised.
He's got 4 hours until its no longer Monday. He is in Texas, so its around 8PM there now. I sure hope "politics" doesn't get in the way of him making his announcement or whatever.
Did anyone really think that this was going to turn into something great? I mean really? Samsungs track record for putting customers first has been proven time and time again, long before the galaxy line and long before cell phones. Not only that, look at XDA from the eyes and view of a large corporation such as Samsung... not just from the view of a dev, themer, consumer. If you've ever worked for a larger corporation/company who's main priority is profit and remaiming current and ahead of the competition you probably understand. One main priority is keeping products and control over those products within your reach, not within the reach of the consumer.

Hope I get. Acting like Samsung John was the next coming of Christ is another thing (again, not just on the Epic forums). I was hopeful as well that Samsung would get it, but the Epic is soon to be old news, to me at least.

Sounds like a sucker move to me. They say it wont happen again to suck you into buying a a new phone with the same support, only to drop support for the last line of devices. Not buying it Mr Samsung.
As soon as another competitor has a device that has even within reasonable specs at the same time of launch, they are gonna notice why their failure has come to a reality with their next device release.
Lol.
Yano, the cynic in me, as I'm sure is true with some other people, (and I hope its not lost on those people either) believes his lack of a post today is intentional. Remember, he is a social media "analyst". Looking for what type of reactions he would get for breaking such a small "promise" sounds like a pretty good barometer to gauge just how accurate the "mass feelings of resentment" for samsung for not getting us an update sooner is.
Do believe he's the real deal? Yes, and I'm confident he will post with his details later. But I'm pretty sure he's holding off just to watch us, and see how much we hold people to verbal commitments.
We're all lab rats.

Because, I heard it only cooks low profile bacon, which has to have a precise ratio of protein, to fat, to sodium nitrate.

You're right on the speculation... Nine times out of ten,the so-called facts are inaccurate.
But a big part of the fun of owning one of these gadgets is the excitement and speculation that goes around before they are released. We can't even imagine what's going to be available to us 6 months from now, and one of the best things about being a techie is seeing a device and having the bar raised for what we think is state-of-the-art. Why not have fun with that and put those future devices against what made our jaws drop 3 months ago?
Having said that, the only speculation that gets under my skin is updates. No one ever knows when they are coming, not even the so-called "insiders"... But people still throw out random months and quarters trying to sound like they're actually in the lab watching someone typing up code for it. LOL sheesh

Lat time I traveled in Europe I had three! One for my Oz account with my email / WiFi & contacts, one for my UK / Europe account (because Oz account charge a fortune over there in most countries), and one Sat Phone for use when I was at sea in the Med.
It got so bad I almost gave it all up and went of a Sat Phone all the time, but the reception is useless inside any building.
My neighbors jaw dropped lookin @ my phone..
Funny, I keep explaining to others comparing the same with iPhone, for me its my first Android phone, and I am running ICS and end up showing stuffs pretty much and there will be a crash or something crazy..!! lolz, though after two days I feel other phones are so tiny.
Now imagine this: i show my note and everyone asks:" how much did it cost? " and i simply say:" it was free... Won it in a contest on Stuff.tv site"
And everyone thinks this: Damn you bastard... I never win anything!

The only stranger who ever gave my Note more than a moment's glance was a guy I was sitting beside in a seminar. I was using it both to take notes and record audio, while he was using his GS2 to record, and one of the Galaxy Tabs (I think 8.9) to take notes. He was looking over to it constantly, surely with the thought that it must be a great combination of the two devices.
As far as non-strangers are concerned, my wife (an iPhone 4 user) is jealous about damn near everything I've shown her on it. She might end up with the pink or white Note.
I was really surprised with the amount of positive feedback that people gave to the note, including iPhone users etc.
Something interesting I noticed was that at my campus there seem to be a lot of folks with a phone+iPad or phone+playbook or any other tablet etc. (even my gf falls into this category). It just seems sort of silly to me to carry around two devices everywhere.
To be fair, though, I would never use the Note as a primary note-taking device, and have definitely seen iPad users use their devices for this purpose. Like some other users have mentioned, a 6" screen would be just fine in my book, as long as it still made calls.
However, if I didn't have a stereo bluetooth headset I would notice the size of it when using as an actual phone much more...
Ha. How about this one, I was on the phone with the Note on Thursday afternoon in the foyer of our business complex (talking to ATT nonetheless) and saw a Guy walk past me looking right at the phone and is massive size up to my ear and COMPLETELY forgot to open the door to go outside and slammed right into it.
I laughed and said holy crap bud you okay? He said nothing and ran out the door!
This is what the Note will do for you.

How about this one, I was on the phone with the Note on Thursday afternoon in the foyer of our business complex (talking to ATT nonetheless) and saw a Guy walk past me looking right at the phone and is massive size up to my ear and COMPLETELY forgot to open the door to go outside and slammed right into it.
I laughed and said holy crap bud you okay? He said nothing and ran out the door!
This is what the Note will do for you.

Well, the Note held to your ear IS bonkers for its sheer size...
Yesterday my friends made jokes about exactly this situation all evening long - and yet could'nt resist to playing arround with it. It got the attention from both Galaxy (SI & SII) and iPhone users...
Anyone seen the commercial for these yet? Thoughts ?

everything looks cool but the part where you look at the weather to check weather is just stupid...
yeah, I heard about these. They're meh, not my thing. Having a phone that does it all is more then enough, I can't imagine having a screen in front of your eye telling you useless info 24/7.
Getting facebook updates from your stoner brother updating his status to 'chillin' 8x a day, would be enough to smash them in no time
They already have a parody about these on YouTube.

Chuck Norris can but Walker Texas Ranger can't.
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. I say go for it, I would want them until they had retinal implants with a neural interface of some sort.

Think it is neat, but really this has safety hazards written all over the place.
When is enough going to be enough. I betcha it catches on though, lol!

Didn't Google say that the video wasn't real and was concept? Pretty sure I read about it on endgadget

As catastrophic as it's gonna be, people are gonna buy it, it's the next best thing, so screw safety, lol.

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.

Up for preorder for those who happened to attend the IO event, and had $1500 bucks to lay down
While we're still waiting for AOSP ICS for amaze, the JB is out and this video shows how fast it is:
