Google Drive

Hey guys,
I see that around here no1 announced this, so it looks like it's gonna' be me
http://googleblog.blogspot.it/2012/...2/04/introducing-google-drive-yes-really.html
There's apparently a waiting list (i'm unfortunately on it). But some of you mite just be lucky to get a head start. So, any feedback would be welcome.
The apps already available on the market. And google docs now allows you to upload any files up to 5gb. *not sure if it wasn't just the same before*
anywayz, check it out, and if anyone gets ahead of me in using it, give us some feedback

Lol why use this when Box gives you 50GB ??

I got it two days ago. Seriously it isn't impressive for me. My Google documents and drive seem to be collaborated. I believe mediafire is the best.
True , I found Google drive much better for uploading personal pictures and other multimedia stuff. For small files I thing drive is more convenient.
Plus , the current Google app for drive doesn't allow to change privacy settings as of now.
I am still not used to the sharing mechanism.
Like in mediafire , when you make a file public , you can Google it and you can have a direct download link.
Till now , I made some of my files public , tried googling them , but couldn't find them. Plus I found no direct download link. Maybe drive is not meant to be used the way I am using it.
I still prefer other websites like mediafire as of today for public sharing.

ahm...just went on box.com and they don't offer anymore the 50gb free storage, you like have to pay around 20 bucks a month for the 50gb option...you only get the usual 5gb for free.
EDIT: aaaa...yes, box does offer 50gb if you install their app from market!!! sorry guys and thanks

The promo they had was probably to get customers/user.
I like dropbox and i think drive is gonna be something like it, and will seamlessly blend with the whole android experience, being made by google. It's just at the start. I think it has potential, and we just have to wait.
I can live with 5gb as long as it offers functionality and comfort in use. See Apple's cloud services, dropbox, microsoft's etc...they pretty much all offer around the same amount of free storage, no?
One more thing. The only reason why i use only dropbox for the time being is that it integratest perfectly with my computer and my phone. I just hope that drive will be just the same...

that is so not true. i use flash everyday on my phone with embedded youtube videos on sites, watch the euro on my phone thanks to flash support and a lot of other stuff. It's true that a lot of the bigger budget more mainstream site have converted to HTML5, but i find it absolutely revolting that when i'll need it, i wont be able to use flash. I really hope some devs cook something up for that.

The apk will be floating around until html 5 takes over completely. Flash for desktop pc's will not require websites to use beyond flash 11 (if ever) until long after html 5 is in full force. We will be ok.

Ask iphone users if not having flash is a big deal?
Sent from my EVO using xda premium

Its not like its not going to work anymore. Its just no longer being supported or updated. Flash 11 is all we need for every website. Iphone users would give there left nut to have an apk that works. Even if it never gets updated. Maybe even both nuts.

Im not saying that its not outdated, i'm saying that a very large number of sites still use flash and our apk will work until the site goes to html 5. So it no longer getting updated is not a big deal. Its old news.
Now, If our flash apk simply doesnt work on jellybean, then you will have some upset folks.

Yup. I had a LOLApple moment a few days ago in a bagel place. My 4yo wanted to sit next to another ~4yo and his mom. After a few minutes, my 4yo asked if he could use my phone to play a game on the Nick Jr website. I gave him my phone. When the other 4yo saw this, he asked his mom to do the same with her iphone. Ruhtroh, Nick Jr is a flash site and so her iphone wouldn't load it.

i KNOW, it is awesome... when i first saw that i was like...oooh, oooh...lol Also, it seems you can type A LOT and it becomes a "scolling marquee"... too cool... : )

Amazed at what people can miss. Not to be a peni$ here, but this feature has been there since HoneyComb on my other tablets.
This is my first Android phone, so I cannot say if phones had it prior to ICS. I don't even know if other ICS phones support that, but this being a tablet and I can attest that this feature is not new and has been there since HC on old tablets.
What would be a neat feature is:
1. Add an icon to swipe. Just like on iPhones. I learnt how to modify those swipers that I made my own: with my girlfriend's pic, my pic, my motorcycle, my car, my ***, etc, etc.
2. Gesture unlock just like in Win8. Doodle on a picture to unlock the device. This looks like fun.

Just wanted to share it with those who might not know about it, it makes the Note EVEN more enjoyable when u turn it on and see ur own lil personalization smilin' back @ ya!

I've had this for ages on my Jellybeaned DHD. Best bit is it is backed up and restored with Google backup.
I have my email address and a plea to return if found. As futile as it might be.

Make sure to use the dropbox backup for your settings, so you don't have to set it up again. Saves s ton of time, also downloading the full install image and writing it to the sd card, takes about 5min to dl and write pop it in restore settings and your good.

[FOR FUN] RuneScape HTML5 Beta runs (poorly) on N7 w/ Chrome Beta!

WARNING: this uses a TON of battery to even get started. My N7 was plugged into my computer and went from 40% -> 17% before I even got ingame.

You'll need a BT keyboard, because there's no way to open up the virtual keyboard when you get to the login window, and unfortunately you can't go fullscreen since the applet is fit to the size of the window. So you're stuck with the bar at the top.

Jumping into the game seems to give you a black screen as of right now...
... but going into settings and manually tinkering with it I GOT THE GAME TO LOAD!!!!! It takes three and a half years (not even exaggerating that bad, literally took half an hour), but it works!
Basically, just tap the gear at the top right and set it to low, then refresh if you need to. Try not to scroll if you can help it. Then start up the game!
Once you can see everything on the ground, the game's still not done loading. Give it some more time and THE SKY APPEARS!!! (...along with a subscribe button)
Aaaand a couple years later, your character will finally appear.
Be careful taking screenshots, this is super intensive on the hardware so it'll lag really, really, really bad. The audio will snip and your screen will flash like 80 times.
The FPS is terrible if you were wondering.
Here's a video.

Haha :laugh:
I stopped playing that a long time ago - here are a few screenshots that I have

Supposedly it runs poorly on PCs too. The game itself is still beta and hasn't been optimized yet.
I'm not even sure Chrome will utilize the GPU, so maybe forcing GPU rendering in Dev options will help.

That probably wouldn't help since it's a 3D game, right?

I stopped playing this a couple years ago but its quite neat that it actually loads in Chrome.

Are you thinking about starting again or something? :angel: I quit in 2007 and gave away $200m in items and cash to my best friends in the game. Then a few years later I gave my character away to one of my best friends in real life who plays occasionally.
I attached a few of my fave screenshots I made back then.

I never really got into Runescape for some reason. A friend of mine did give me a level 30 something to play with and it was fun but nothing really grabbed me. Of course I wasn't attached to my character like I would have if I kept up with my original character.
