How long are you in for?

elegant: I know I'm really gonna have to cut back on the terrible crime of turning left into the right hand lane
shroomz: that would be excellent. just to make it irritating for the mail guy, send one for each update.
metal: hopefully only a week... but could be a month or more depending on which way the judge goes hahaha.

Good luck to you man, I know how bad jail sucks. Best piece of advice I can give you- don't drop the soap

hahaha its washoe county.
A. They probably don't have soap.
B. 80 of people in there are weekend warriors for possession of marijuana.
C. I pity the fool that tries to give me a log ride if I were to drop the soap.

Good luck m8.... you'll be fine. Just remember, the first thing you do is find the biggest Guy that's in your cell block/pod... what ever they call them now.
Hit him square on the chin... this can have 2 outcomes. Both a plus!!!
1. He drops like a bag of bricks, you'll get your own cell for a bit and no one will f with you.
2. He smiles, drops you like a bag of bricks, you'll get your own bed in the hospital wing and people will think your crazy and have some kind of death wish.
Win... Win... plus you'll have a great story to tell either way, right?
Anyway here's a link you may want to check out.... I think they over night...

I know my way around a jail a bit. So no internet, listen to the tank boss, stick to your own kind white on white, black with black, etc... always brush your teeth before morning chow or you will get a beatdown. Lastly find out which toilets are for what. One will be for pissing, one for ****ting, and one for washing clothes. Don't mess that up. Good luck.
The EVO you wish you had

Why not show up with a bondsman and skip jail until the court date?
Pay it in full you get it all back if you show up to court.

Better do those taxes with turbotax. You'll get your refund in a week so you can pay those fines.
Take your Evo and disassemble it and smuggle it in your anus like some people do. You can also train a pigeon to drop it off in the yard.

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 a way to get the SD card out quick? With guns in your face?

Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App

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..

Real world use for moto-webtop, my experience at the bar last night.

So I have my phone hacked for HDMI output. Went to the bar that I DJ and a couple friends came in who are in a band, along with someone who wanted to see their work. They have a video on their website in flash format. Cait who has an iPhone can't use flash and also doesn't have HDMI out. So I hook up my Atrix to the large HDTV and fire up firefox, and had it playing in less than a minute over the bar's WIFI connection.
That's it, just wanted to share, I was quite pleased with it. People say that it's useless, I just wanted to say that I actually found one.

Nice Atrix success story!!!
However, I wonder why you fired up Webtop when you could just have used the default Android web browser and HDMI Landscape mirror?
Oh wait... I see what you did there!
I would have done the same just for the sake of showing off my uber-cool modified Webtop on the big screen!
Thanks for sharing!
Rayan

Here's my Atrix Webtop story ....
While deployed over in the Persian Gulf I was delivering an important dignitary to the US consulate in Qatar, when our convoy came under attack. We were in a fire-fight for what seemed to be more than 3 hours; almost out of ammunition and pinned down, it seemed as all bets were off. We ducked into an abandoned hookah lounge to seek shelter and it hit me.... We pushed the large HDTV's up against the windows, I hooked up my Atrix to the lounge's video feed and pumped out porn to the screens .... all of the shooting stopped, and we slipped out the back while the mad crowd was mesmerized. We later dropped 500lb bombs on the area in retaliation for the problem, but I just thought I would share ..... just kidding, I couldn't resist.
(I mean no disrespect to anybody, just having fun)

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.

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.

The Massive Phone Held to your Ear

I think it's odd how many people say the Note is too big, or you will look funny holding the phone up to your ear. I make at least 40 calls a day, and I do not use a headset, and not once has anyone said I look funny holding the phone to my ear. Maybe I do look funny, but nobody has ever mentioned it, or even looked at me funny. I think the first few days I used the Note, I felt a little weird, but now I don't even think about the phone size.

If someone doesn't want to get the Note because he or she "will look funny with it" and not because it's too big or any other actual reason - there's something wrong with that person, not the phone. Enough said

It doesn't matter when it's big enough to satisfy expectations my friend

I agree w. OP. I am a Prof on a 3 campus university. I am always walking around them and the research labs. I have no problems with putting the Note in my front pocket, talking on the phone with it my ear, using it with one hand and of course being able to do email, schedule, find a room number of a meeting - all while on the fly walking w/ or w/o the pen and usually using the dead accurate voice commands and dictation - never get a strange look.
I use the note like a computer and get things done with such less frustration than past phones ( moving between touch, pen and voice and using allot of gesture controls for speed). I am on one campus when a crisis happens on another ( I am a Grad Chair for a Interactive CS school on one campus and Dir of another small program in Cog Sci on another), checking email and voice inputting a reply or room number or person to call - saves me hours of frustration if I had let the problem grow and not made a quick fix or alleviated with a quick email.
The phone is a godsend and the 'it just looks to big for me being on my hip bus in Manhattan with my hipster friends ( hey I grew up in Manhattan) is just stupid press BS which we have to read all the time. Although 5 million of us know better.

Years back, the smallest phone was the trend and if you owns a small expensive phone, you would be the talk of the room! But nowadays, large device/screens are the growing tend. 4.3-4.6 inches screens seems to be the most popular but I think it won't be too long before the majority of people would adopt a 4.8 or 5.5 inches phone!
Thing is we all like to browse websites/check emails/watch photos and videos on the go, and to be able to do this with ease, we need more screen space. The Dell Streak 5 was great but it was built with very outdated hardware/specs. Samsung definitely has won the consumers by making the Note stands out of the market with the S Pen and some top hardware specs.
