Re: Google Talk Being Prepared For Changes?

I also got this same chat message. I think this is warning for the replacement of Hangout over GTalk : https://play.google.com/store/...

If this goes on, I think the result would be same as in movies like iRobot or Wall-e!

We know that Google searches through your Gmail to find information that will help them sell advertising focused on you specifically. Since the Google Talk sessions are now archived in Gmail, seems logical that this is a play to get more of your information so that they can in turn sell advertising based on not only the contents of your emails, but your talk/chats as well

Same thing for me. I signed up for a new Gmail to use with Talk earlier today, and ofc disabled the chat logging first thing. A couple hours ago I got this same message in the GTalk client. The setting is even gone in the Gmail settings (chat tab), so it's probably not just some service problems. At least the "off the record" option is still available, but it's per chat so it will have to be enabled each time.

Edit: A recent addition to that help document!:
"We've made a change to the Google Chat and Google Talk chat history settings. You can turn individual chats off the record, but you'll no longer have the option to make chatting off the record the default setting for all of your chats."

No reason as to why is mentioned.

Heh, no problem. I understand you're not a pro blog, but it goes towards the overall look and feel. Better presentation means more people will be interested in what they see :)

Dan, in fairness we are not a professional blog. Human error sadly creeps in sometimes and we hope people like yourself will help us spot the errors early on :)

Thanks for alerting us to this.

Guys, you seriously have to work on getting your titles checked before posting. It looks kinda unproffesional.

Re: Sense 5 and Android 4.2.2 Leaked for the HTC Butterfly?

blackroseMD1 — Wed, 08 May 2013 17:50:13 -0000

Yeah, and I guess the quick toggles can be done via an app. Still...I'd love for this to be true, and then for someone to port it to the One.

Hi Nigel,

We are waiting on Doro fixing a little problem we have with the Android Experience then we will publish a review on a lower cost tablet.

Nigel R — Wed, 08 May 2013 06:21:57 -0000

I am hesitating over getting a cheap (sub $150) tablet for my mother with Doro Experience on it. An expensive tablet would be silly but it has to have 2 cameras as my mother would love to send pics she takes to relatives as well as do Skype.
How about a review of this affordable solution, and done with a non-luxury tablet?

More likely to buy now. Removable battery, SD card & now unlocked BL + root. Google can take their everything-in-the-cloud, no SD card policy & shove it!

Re: Hotmail App Update Brings With it a New Outlook.com App

Jelena Rawdanowicz — Sat, 20 Apr 2013 05:57:12 -0000

The new Outlook app for android still has issues to be fixed. Myself alongside with colleagues who have a Samsung galaxy S3 as part of work have not been able to use the new Outlook app as it just goes to a white screen after we enter our login details. I understand that the issue has been fixed for some people by simply restarting their cell phones however for myself and some others this issue has not been fixed.. we cannot login in. Please advise if you have any suggestions on: jelenao@hotmail.com

Your feedback and advice would be much appreciated. Thanks & Regards, Jelena

What about replaceable battery? Would break the true unibody design, but I'd take it like a shot.
