Weird, my i9100 has been playing up today a bit.
Getting extremely hot and draining the battery a lot quicker then normal. Looks like the Music app was the main contributor to the battery drain. Powered it off for a bit now to let it cool.
Some condensation seems to have built up a bit behind cover around the camera lens. Also a little odd. While it cools and has a large dose of mains charge, I'll grab the latest official samsung rom for it.

Microsoft pinning their hopes on this.

Microsoft pinning their hopes on this. Not sure myself, all the publicity seems to be focusing on it being an iPad competitor, no mention of AndroidOS and the multitude of different tablets models constantly being released to suit all budgets and pocket sizes.
Keyboard dock looks pretty neat though.

Long time no blog...

It's been a while since I last posted any updates here. I guess with the way social media is expanding its little surprise that more blogs aren't closing up shop.
If you think about it, the whole way people express themselves online has been divided into different services depending on how much they want to put across.
  • Twitter for the short and snappy
  • Facebook for the slightly longer piece
  • Blogs for even longer
Google+ has attempted to cover all areas and unfortunately only those who understand it's benefits are using it. Until they release the an API to allow 3rd party posting, persuade more people that facebook isn't the only place to post nonsense

Personally I don't tend to write much anyway, so blogger, with its G+ integration is a little lost on me again. Maybe I should post more often, and let it tie itself in to G+. After all the main bonus to Google having so many underlying options available to it is that it all ties together. If you actually break down the features offered by facebook, there isn't really anything there that isn't available within the Google sphere. In fact, Google offer even more (eg Docs\Drive). The only thing facebook has is users and activity...

G+ needs to look at how it looks, make it more attractive to those that don't want to spend a lot of time on the page trying to find content. Twitter's short and snappy approach works a treat for those who just like to take a glance at life outside their own.

Anyway, thats enough waffle there for now. Maybe I'll blog again at some point now that I appear to have this tied to G+. Maybe I'll feed my G+ into Twitter and then into facebook... who knows. Until sharing comments and friends across multiple services kicks in, things will never merge and an online social atmosphere, will never replicate real life.
