[REQ]Iperov's Pocket Guitar

Hey , Can anyone upload Iperov's Pocket Guitar Sources or Similare Application , Links are dead in the main Topic .
Thank you

Yes my friend. I can help you, but first, let me tell you my tale...
It was a small village that I grew up in, probably much like your own. People laughed and cried, but we all loved the place we came from and that kept us together. Then in my early 20s I was visited by a knight of the realm. He had been given a quest, an almost impossible quest, but it was his duty to see the quest done, or die trying. Over the following months we became friends, that knight and I, and shared many a tale of fortunes, both good and bad. He became a brother to me, and I a brother to him. He trained me in the ways of combat, and I trained him in the ways of life, both of us learning the most vital lessons that the other had to offer.
Then came the day. My Brother had to leave. His quest awaited him, and he longed for the journey in a powerful way.
He gave me a map to show his route, in order that I may one day follow in his footsteps and see the monumentous journey through which he had struggled. The journey would be easy for me as he would have slain the many beasts along the way, and I would merely be an observer to the aftermath. That was the plan, but as we both know, in life, sometimes things do not go to plan.
Only two days after my Brother left our small village did he return. He had been poisoned by dwarves along the way, and he was now close to death. His final breath was a laboured breath, but it carried the words "it is your quest now, my Brother".
I knelt in the muddy street, my Brother's head in my lap, whilst I cried out into the raining sky "WHY GOD? WHY?", but God did not answer. He did not need to. I already knew what must be done.
And so, after an almost impossible effort, and losing many, many dear friends and loved ones along the way, I managed to struggle my way across the mountainous terrain, fighting off many vicious animals, not to mention the murderous mutated demons and creatures of The Pit. I faced The Mighty Baal himself and we fought... oh how we fought. At times I felt like I'd been fighting this monstrous demon forever, blow after blow ripping my life from me an ounce at a time, until I finally landed the fatal blow that freed us all from the uncertainty that had been raised by the quest.
This was truly an historic adventure that would be talked about, in a hushed voice, but a hushed voice filled with awe, for many generations to come.
I did it all for you my friend. This was an epic struggle, but I finally found your answer...

I have a lot of friends and family who smoke pot, and the majority of them are pretty vocal about wanting it legalized. Let me make perfectly clear right off the bat that I'm not coming at this as an "anti-pot" guy because I personally don't give a **** if they legalize it, and it doesn't bother me that people smoke. I've done my share of illegal substances.
But why are pot advocates some of the most annoying f*****g people on the planet.
I'm not talking about the average Joe who just wishes it were legal. Hell, those people are inching into the majority and comprise a significant portion of our own audience. I'm talking about the people who push it so hard that they're just short of going door to door, like Mormons. And they get so aggressive and misguided in their arguments that I'm pretty sure that they are their own worst enemy at this point.
#5.Taxing it Will Save the Economy!
This one seems to be the dominant argument ever since the economy went to ****. "Legalize it and tax it! With all the money we'll save from enforcement and all the tax money we'll take in, it'll balance the budget!" And no, I'm not exaggerating the claims -- here's one of the more articulate articles that literally says marijuana would "save the economy."
Cited some pretty big numbers. "Full legalization would bring in $6.2bn annually if it were taxed at rates similar to those on alcohol and tobacco." Man, that's a lot! But when you put that up beside the total taxes collected in 2010 ($2.1 trillion) and the current national debt ($14.4 trillion), the dent it makes is comparable to trying to change the orbit of the Sun by shooting it with your BB gun.
There's no doubt that legalization would create some jobs and bring in some tax revenue. But it's a drop in the bucket, and when you start presenting that drop with titles like (as in the wake of the Prop 19 legalization movement in California last year) "Save California: Legalize Marijuana" and "To Save California, Legalize Pot", it makes it sound like you have no idea what you are talking about. In fact, it makes it sound like a bunch of young stoners making **** up, and that gives opponents an excuse to dismiss everything else you're saying.
It's the same when the advocates say that we'd be able to "fix the budget" by eliminating the cost of marijuana-related law enforcement, based on this insane idea that once the drug is legal, we'd no longer need any of that. As if the country would suddenly turn into a free-for-all, grow-your-own, weedathon where there are no regulations or restrictions on its production, and yet everyone would just volunteer to report and pay the $50 per ounce tax out of a sense of civic duty. Why? Because people prefer to do things the legal way? That's true... because they fear going to jail. Which means you still have to pay for cops to investigate and arrest people who use unauthorized pot.
This is what opponents were trying to explain during the California legalization debate, that you're going to need a lot of new regulations to figure out just exactly what activity you're legalizing, and what happens to the people who violate the new laws. Do you get the FDA involved in regulating the THC content? So then you need somebody enforcing those regulations, right? And to go after the stronger, black market stuff? Then we'd still have DUI arrests to deal with, and figuring out what weed does to your health insurance premiums, etc.
Again, let me make clear that whether it's legalized or not, my life doesn't change. I couldn't give less of a damn. It's the dishonesty of the arguments themselves, and the way you're absolutely bludgeoned with these on the internet, that I find infuriating. And none piss me off more than...
#4. We Need it for Cancer Patients! And to Make Paper!
This is a tactic used by almost every advocate I've ever met. See, they don't want to legalize pot because they want to smoke it and get high. No, they're only concerned on behalf of cancer patients. And they'll have martyrs they can pull out as examples, like that guy who was fired for using medical marijuana on the job. That's what legalization is really about, right, TokeOfTheTown.com?
This is usually lumped in with the general defense that "Hemp can be used for lots of things! You can make paper out of it. Clothing. Rope." Hell, marijuana was only made illegal because the traditional paper industry was afraid superior hemp would take over, right, website that has "420" in the URL?
I hear both arguments from friends constantly, and not a damn one of them has cancer. None of them has ever had a need for, nor owned a rope. And before they started reading "facts" off of a pro-weed website, not one of them thought twice about the paper industry. It's a bull****, back-door argument. And, again, it makes everything they say seem invalid -- the same as when states that do legalize for medicinal use immediately see half of the patients use it, not for cancer, but mysterious "chronic pain" or "stress relief." In other words, they lie so they can get medicinal weed, not caring that it makes the entire campaign seem like a lie.
People want to get high, and I just wish they'd come out and say it. Of all the arguments I've ever heard, I've never had a solitary person step up and just say with unmasked honesty, "I want to get stoned without the fear of being arrested." Which is ironic to me because it's the only argument I've ever heard that makes sense. It's the only one that's even remotely logical.
Putting up this front that weed is a magical cure for all things economic not only requires you to bend the truth beyond recognition, but makes it seem like you're admitting that simply wanting to get high is not a valid reason to make it legal. In fact, the cancer patients who do in fact benefit from it wind up becoming the victims of your bull****. When a perfectly healthy guy with dreadlocks and cannabis leaf t-shirts stands up next to the cancer patient and pretends the interests of the cancer patient are all he has in mind, it makes it look like both of them are full of ****.
#3.It's Good for You!
So the picture I'm starting to get is that pot advocates saw the government's old, ridiculous anti-weed propaganda that grossly exaggerated the harm of the drug and decided that the best way to combat that was to simply tell equally silly lies in the opposite direction. So in my lifetime I've seen the argument go from "pot isn't as bad as other illegal drugs" to "it doesn't hurt you" to literally saying weed is "good for you." You know, like it's Vitamin C or calcium.
For instance, when various studies showed that THC might slow the growth of some tumors (while making others grow faster), all of the studies pointed out that they got their results by injecting the chemical and not getting lab rats to smoke joints (a pretty major difference). Yet, pot advocates immediately took those results and translated them into endless headlines asserting that smoking weed "cures cancer." Never mind that all of these studies on the positive side effects of TCH and other chemicals in cannabis go way out of their way to tell you that this does not mean that smoking weed will cure your cancer.
That's because on the whole, breathing smoke of any kind, is not good for you. And with pot, you're inhaling smoke into your lungs and holding it there for a long time, and that's going to damage the tissue. In fact, just three joints a day do as much damage to the lungs as twenty cigarettes. We can be fair and cite this study saying there is no connection between cancer and smoking marijuana. Though we could also cite the studies that have found the opposite to be true.
But even if we take cancer off the table, there are a whole host of negative effects we can list. Right after smoking, the average heart rate increases between 20% to 100%, and that effect can last up to three hours -- your risk of heart attack shoots up fivefold within the first hour of using. If you have anxiety disorders, there's even more bad news. It's being found more and more that modern pot can actually cause panic attacks, and is a high risk for triggering an already existing condition. In the still-growing brains of younger smokers, it can stunt basic emotional development and promote paranoia. And just on the whole, users are far more likely to come down with illnesses and miss work than non-users. One of the biggest debates right now is whether younger users are at higher risk for the emergence of schizophrenia. Schizophrenia.com cites 30 studies that show a connection.
But again, I'm not trying to fall back to the government's "one joint will drive you insane" scaremongering. Pot is not as bad as heroin. That isn't my point. But don't go the other way and start acting like the **** is broccoli.
It's at this point that someone always brings up...
#2. Alcohol and Tobacco are Worse, and They're Legal!
Yep, booze and cigarettes are pretty bad for you. Deadly, even, if they're abused. Hell, I had a doctor tell me straight up that if I didn't quit drinking entirely, I'd be dead within the next five years. I've never heard a doctor tell someone that about their weed smoking. Drunk driving and smoking-related lung cancer have literally killed millions.
In fact, here's a not-at-all-retarded rebuttal from a legalization advocate in response to a "Foundation for a Drug-Free World" pamphlet that claims pot is more dangerous than alcohol. In case you didn't read that, it's exactly what you'd expect from a site that runs its articles over a background of marijuana leaf gifs, versus a highly generalized and exaggerated claim from an organization that is obviously anti-pot. The argument being, "Pot is worse than booze!" "Nuh-uh, alcohol is worse!"
But here's the thing about that entire debate: It doesn't matter.
Throwing out death tolls from tobacco smoke, drunk driving and liver disease makes perfect sense as an argument for making those things illegal. It makes zero sense when trying to convince somebody to make pot legal. Don't you understand that "It will kill fewer people than cigarettes!" could apply to anything? You could pass a law that lets 12 year olds carry concealed guns to school and it'd kill fewer people than drunk driving.
If the argument is that pot is the safer choice, then by that rationale, it's also safer than deep-throating a cactus or blowing a rattlesnake. Is someone obligating you to choose between the two? There's not a third option of just not doing either of them? That has baffled me for years, and I still don't understand it. But I've heard it. A lot. As if the legalization of one unhealthy activity obligates us to legalize every single thing that's less lethal than that.
You have to remember that the people who have the power to change these laws are old, rich, stuffy white guys who for the most part don't smoke weed. When they hear rebuttals like this, they're picturing a six year old kid stomping his foot and screaming at his mother, "Why can't I play that game? Jimmy's mom lets him play GTA, and that's way worse!" The end result is still that you're arguing for the right to make things worse than they were before.
#1.It's not Addictive!
Of course, the thing that scares society about any drug, and the thing that makes alcohol and tobacco so deadly, is addiction. This is crucial to any argument for legalization, because you can't talk about "freedom" to use some product if that same product in fact takes away your ability to freely choose to stop using it. You don't hear people at AA meetings sit around and reflect on how awesome it is that they have the freedom to drink.
Here, I have to admit my own personal experience bias -- my brother used to love giving me that "it's not addictive" line as he was lighting up his tenth one-hitter, with four hours of sunlight left in the day. He couldn't go more than a couple of hours without lighting up, but he's probably just an isolated case, right?
It's been suggested that because most users aren't habitual, the majority of people will never develop a severe dependency on pot. Much in the same way that not everyone who drinks will become an alcoholic. In fact, according to that link, about 15% of drinkers will develop a major dependency, as opposed to around 9% of marijuana users.
That's just the statistics for "severe" addictions. They claim that between 10% and 30% of marijuana smokers will at least fall into a minor addiction. Note that neither of those statistics are 0%. You know, the threshold for "not addictive."
This is where my brother loves to bring up our uncle... I'll call him Thundercock Soulpuncher. Uncle Thundercock smoked pot his entire adolescent life during the 1960s and 70s, and when he decided to file away his partying days and join the adult world, he had no problem at all stepping away from weed. But studies from 1983 to present show that the average THC level (the chemical in pot that gives the buzz) back then was about 4%. The same group found that over the last few decades, the seized pot they studied had risen to over 10%, with some plants as high as 30%. It's predicted that in the next five to ten years, that average will reach around 15% before it hits a plateau.
What's that mean? It means you get higher faster, using less of the drug. It also means that younger, inexperienced smokers have a higher chance of addiction than ol' Thundercock because they're smoking stickier ****.
Now, once again, it's widely believed that pot is much easier to quit than smoking, booze, heroin, and just about every other drug out there. But the belief that "it's not addictive" is bull****. Want an easy way to see if you're addicted? Give it up for a year. I have a feeling that would be tough for a lot of you, considering how many can't go one week without working it into a conversation. It's tough to give up something that you've built your entire personality around.
But just keep in mind: if you want to see a day when the cops won't hassle you for smoking it, you're going to need to be a lot smarter about how you argue the issue, that's all I'm saying.

The legalizing or Mary Jane alone wouldn't save the economy, but the decriminalization of all recreational drugs, tax and regulation and an end to the failed war on drugs would. There is more money spent on the enforcement of drug laws, and housing of non violent offenders for drug violations than almost any other domestic problem. If you take a page out of Amsterdam's Playbook, after the decriminalization of recreational drugs there crime rates plummeted and tax revenue increased almost 1000% due to the fact that the tax revenue had a new source and the existing tax revenue wasn't being plundered for enforcement of failed drug laws. In Amsterdam addicts can get their methadone from water fountain's in clinics for free so when they can't afford their heroin they aren't going out robbing and stealing because they are dopesick they can just walk into any 24hr clinic and get medication anonymously to ease their withdrawals. Over there there is no stigma attached to addicts that they are the scum of the earth, which is good because addiction is a disease and just because someone is an addict doesn't make them a bad person. That would be like saying because so and so has cancer they are a bad person and its all their fault they have cancer.

And hipkat pot is not addicitive in tthe same way as nicotine, booze or heroin it is habit forming but when you quit there are no physical effects. I've smoked off and on for the last 15 years and never once had a problem going without it for anywhere from a few days to 2 or 3 years. I have also been addicted to painkillers after a surgery and after about 20 hours without am opiate in your system you feel like you have the worst flu in the world, chills, sweats, fever, diarrhea, vomiting, blurry vision, aches and pains etc. Alcohol withdrawal can be deadly, it causes seizures and can even result in coma. Nicotine withdrawal gives you migraines, diarrhea, sweats and shakes. Marijuana withdrawal you may not be as hungry all the time and you may not sleep as much, but there are no health risks or discomfort from it. Anyone who tells you marijuana is physically addicitive is a) a fearmonger and b) a flatout liar, there is absolutely 0 medical evidence to back their claims up because it is simply a scaretactic created by the anti drug nuts to keep the people from wanting it legalized by turning it into some kind of monster akin to heorin or cocaine.

In fact, here's a not-at-all-retarded rebuttal from a legalization advocate in response to a "Foundation for a Drug-Free World" pamphlet that claims pot is more dangerous than alcohol. In case you didn't read that, it's exactly what you'd expect from a site that runs its articles over a background of marijuana leaf gifs, versus a highly generalized and exaggerated claim from an organization that is obviously anti-pot. The argument being, "Pot is worse than booze!" "Nuh-uh, alcohol is worse!"
But here's the thing about that entire debate: It doesn't matter.
Throwing out death tolls from tobacco smoke, drunk driving and liver disease makes perfect sense as an argument for making those things illegal. It makes zero sense when trying to convince somebody to make pot legal. Don't you understand that "It will kill fewer people than cigarettes!" could apply to anything? You could pass a law that lets 12 year olds carry concealed guns to school and it'd kill fewer people than drunk driving.
If the argument is that pot is the safer choice, then by that rationale, it's also safer than deep-throating a cactus or blowing a rattlesnake. Is someone obligating you to choose between the two? There's not a third option of just not doing either of them? That has baffled me for years, and I still don't understand it. But I've heard it. A lot. As if the legalization of one unhealthy activity obligates us to legalize every single thing that's less lethal than that.
You have to remember that the people who have the power to change these laws are old, rich, stuffy white guys who for the most part don't smoke weed. When they hear rebuttals like this, they're picturing a six year old kid stomping his foot and screaming at his mother, "Why can't I play that game? Jimmy's mom lets him play GTA, and that's way worse!" The end result is still that you're arguing for the right to make things worse than they were before.
#1.It's not Addictive!
Of course, the thing that scares society about any drug, and the thing that makes alcohol and tobacco so deadly, is addiction. This is crucial to any argument for legalization, because you can't talk about "freedom" to use some product if that same product in fact takes away your ability to freely choose to stop using it. You don't hear people at AA meetings sit around and reflect on how awesome it is that they have the freedom to drink.
Here, I have to admit my own personal experience bias -- my brother used to love giving me that "it's not addictive" line as he was lighting up his tenth one-hitter, with four hours of sunlight left in the day. He couldn't go more than a couple of hours without lighting up, but he's probably just an isolated case, right?
It's been suggested that because most users aren't habitual, the majority of people will never develop a severe dependency on pot. Much in the same way that not everyone who drinks will become an alcoholic. In fact, according to that link, about 15% of drinkers will develop a major dependency, as opposed to around 9% of marijuana users.
That's just the statistics for "severe" addictions. They claim that between 10% and 30% of marijuana smokers will at least fall into a minor addiction. Note that neither of those statistics are 0%. You know, the threshold for "not addictive."
This is where my brother loves to bring up our uncle... I'll call him Thundercock Soulpuncher. Uncle Thundercock smoked pot his entire adolescent life during the 1960s and 70s, and when he decided to file away his partying days and join the adult world, he had no problem at all stepping away from weed. But studies from 1983 to present show that the average THC level (the chemical in pot that gives the buzz) back then was about 4%. The same group found that over the last few decades, the seized pot they studied had risen to over 10%, with some plants as high as 30%. It's predicted that in the next five to ten years, that average will reach around 15% before it hits a plateau.
What's that mean? It means you get higher faster, using less of the drug. It also means that younger, inexperienced smokers have a higher chance of addiction than ol' Thundercock because they're smoking stickier ****.
Now, once again, it's widely believed that pot is much easier to quit than smoking, booze, heroin, and just about every other drug out there. But the belief that "it's not addictive" is bull****. Want an easy way to see if you're addicted? Give it up for a year. I have a feeling that would be tough for a lot of you, considering how many can't go one week without working it into a conversation. It's tough to give up something that you've built your entire personality around.
But just keep in mind: if you want to see a day when the cops won't hassle you for smoking it, you're going to need to be a lot smarter about how you argue the issue, that's all I'm saying.

Weed cures and helps in many ways there's a lot worse substances that are legal than weed, although its much legal here (Cali) because its legal medically but then all those strong medications gets tranferrrd down to us , anyways weed is acctually better for your body than cigarettes and alchool, the only known issue with weed is it makes your maturity stop for the period your smoking but then it goes back to normal that only applies tho if smoked before age 22, its perfectly fine.to drive on, no wrecks on dui of bud, but lots from alchool, its not bad for your lungs it actually cures them believe it or not if you smoke as much weed if not more than tabacoo you smoke, your lungs will stay normal, the doctor couldn't believe I smoked half a pack day the miracles.of weed, and another thing, weed is not ****en addictive! I think its some thing like 5% gets addicted, only because they become dependent on it after thier treatment is over, I smoked everyday at least a quad a week of good dank cali bud for like 2 years then stopped for a whole year with no urges or anything, I know what it means to be addicted I can't handle one day with out a cigarette hardest thing ever I've done it like twice I wanted to kill myself, smoke weed not tabacoo

And hipkat pot is not addicitive in tthe same way as nicotine, booze or heroin it is habit forming but when you quit there are no physical effects. I've smoked off and on for the last 15 years and never once had a problem going without it for anywhere from a few days to 2 or 3 years. I have also been addicted to painkillers after a surgery and after about 20 hours without am opiate in your system you feel like you have the worst flu in the world, chills, sweats, fever, diarrhea, vomiting, blurry vision, aches and pains etc. Alcohol withdrawal can be deadly, it causes seizures and can even result in coma. Nicotine withdrawal gives you migraines, diarrhea, sweats and shakes. Marijuana withdrawal you may not be as hungry all the time and you may not sleep as much, but there are no health risks or discomfort from it. Anyone who tells you marijuana is physically addicitive is a) a fearmonger and b) a flatout liar, there is absolutely 0 medical evidence to back their claims up because it is simply a scaretactic created by the anti drug nuts to keep the people from wanting it legalized by turning it into some kind of monster akin to heorin or cocaine.

I do on occasion, haven't since Xmas but I used to smoke all day every day. Never had a problem when I needed or wanted to quit. Now the oxycodone after my surgeries was another story, when I'd run out of that I was about ready to kill someone for another one. When I came off of them it was the worst 2 weeks of my life and the longest month before my head got back to normal.

For those of you that don't remember me, I released the midNIGHT ROM back on the Epic 4G and the EpicTouch 4G. The purpose of the release was to bring Autism Awareness to the Android community. As the father to 3 boys on the Autism Spectrum, spreading awareness is my mission. It worked amazingly well. Even now, there are Autism Awareness banners in peoples signatures and that's awesome.
Anyway, I retired after the Epic Touch 4G because things with my family demanded all of my time and energy.
I never stopped tinkering but never released anything publicly. I decided that I would throw my hat in one last time and release what I've been using, in case anyone is interested. I have also re-branded the ROM from midNIGHT to Android4Autism, as this is a project I began awhile ago. The mission of Android4Autism is to show the community that you don't need a overpriced iPad to help your child with developmental disabilities like Autism, to communicate with and navigate their world.
What does this ROM include?
This is a basic ROM based on the Deodexed L900VPALJC OTA by joshbeach and is geared for people who don't want anything heavily modded and or tweaked. I prefer simple and clean to heavily themed. This is a very stock ROM, nothing fancy.
Apps installed to data so they are easily uninstallable:

Autism Education
This is directly from Autism Speaks
What is Autism?
Autism is a general term used to describe a group of complex developmental brain disorders known as Pervasive Developmental Disorders (PDD). The other pervasive developmental disorders are PDD-NOS (Pervasive Developmental Disorder – Not
Otherwise Specified), Asperger’s Syndrome, Rett Syndrome and Childhood Disintegrative Disorder. Many parents and professionals refer to this group as Autism Spectrum Disorders.
How common is Autism?
Today, it is estimated that one in every 88 children is diagnosed with autism, making it more common than childhood cancer, juvenile diabetes and pediatric AIDS combined. An estimated 1.5 million individuals in the U.S. and tens of millions worldwide are affected by autism. Government statistics suggest the prevalence rate of autism is increasing 10-17 percent annually. There is not established explanation for this increase, although improved diagnosis and environmental influences are two reasons often considered. Studies suggest boys are more likely than girls to develop autism and receive the diagnosis three to four times more frequently. Current estimates are that in the United States alone, 1 out of 54 boys is diagnosed with autism.
What causes Autism?
The simple answer is we don’t know. The vast majority of cases of autism are idiopathic, which means the cause is unknown.
The more complex answer is that just as there are different levels of severity and combinations of symptoms in autism, there are probably multiple causes. The best scientific evidence available to us today points toward a potential for various combinations of factors causing autism – multiple genetic components that may cause autism on their own or possibly when combined with exposure to as yet undetermined environmental factors. Timing of exposure during the child’s development (before, during or after birth) may also play a role in the development or final presentation of the disorder.
A small number of cases can be linked to genetic disorders such as Fragile X, Tuberous Sclerosis, and Angelman’s Syndrome, as well as exposure to environmental agents such as infectious ones (maternal rubella or cytomegalovirus) or chemical ones (thalidomide or valproate) during pregnancy.
There is a growing interest among researchers about the role of the functions and regulation of the immune system in autism – both within the body and the brain. Piecemeal evidence over the past 30 years suggests that autism may involve inflammation in the central nervous system. There is also emerging evidence from animal studies that illustrates how the immune system can influence behaviors related to autism. Autism Speaks is working to extend awareness and investigation of potential immunological issues to researchers outside the field of autism as well as those within the autism research community.
While the definitive cause (or causes) of autism is not yet clear, it is clear that it is not caused by bad parenting. Dr. Leo Kanner, the psychiatrist who first described autism as a unique condition in 1943, believed that it was caused by cold, unloving mothers. Bruno Bettelheim, a renowned professor of child development perpetuated this misinterpretation of autism. Their promotion of the idea that unloving mothers caused their children’s autism created a generation of parents who carried the tremendous burden of guilt for their children’s disability.
In the 1960s and 70s, Dr. Bernard Rimland, the father of a son with autism, who later founded the Autism Society of America and the Autism Research Institute, helped the medical community understand that autism is not caused by cold parents but rather is a biological disorder.

10 Things My #Autistic Kids Wished You Knew​
Written by me, Rob Gorski (Lost and Tired) about and dedicated to my three amazingly beautiful children.
1. I’m sorry I have fits but I’m not a spoiled brat. I’m just so much younger on the inside than I am on the outside.
2. I’m easily overwhelmed because I see and hear everything. I hear the lights hum and clock tick. Everything is so loud it makes my head hurt all the time and my eyes hurt from all the bright lights.
3. I’m not stupid, I’m actually very smart. I just don’t learn the way you want me to. Please learn about Autism so you know how to help me better understand what you are trying to teach.
4. Please don’t be mad at mommy and daddy because we don’t come over for holidays or birthdays. They really want to go but I don’t do well at another person’s house. It’s too overwhelming for me and they know that. They don’t go because they love me, NOT because they don’t like you.
5. Please have patience with me. I try really hard to make good decisions but I can be very impulsive at times.
6. Yes, I have Autism but that doesn't mean I’m less of a person because of it. If anything, I’m actually more of a person in spite of it.
7. My house might be messy sometimes. It’s because my mommy and daddy spend all their time trying to find new ways to help me or teach my brother to talk..
8. Just because I can’t talk doesn't mean I don’t understand what you are saying. My feelings can be hurt just like yours.
9. I wish my mommy and daddy knew how much I love them. I have a really hard time with emotions and I don’t always like to be touched. But I love them more than anything in the world, even more then my Lego’s.
10. I know I can be frustrating but don’t tell me I won’t amount to anything because I have Autism. If you love and support me I WILL do great things in my life in spite of my challenges.

Alright. The link is live in the OP. The ROM is hosted on the server for my blog. I just had to upgrade servers again as I'm getting almost 2,000,000 hits a month on my blog. I now have unlimited bandwidth so have at it and let me know if you have any problems.
Remember, this is a pretty simply ROM with a few mods and tweaks and all the ugly orange an yellow removed from the theme. If you're looking for something more elaborate, you may want to look elsewhere.
This is what I am personally using and I just wanted to share and give something back, all while spreading some Autism Awareness.
I don't consider myself a super talented developer. I do this for fun, in my free time.
Thanks everyone.

The funny thing is, that this phone was already a beast without root. I'm not dissing apple cause it's a great phone but my thing is, there are so many more options.

I had a friend who was Iphone 5 all the way. He even ran his mouth how dumb of a decision it was. untill i bought it and he couldnt keep his hands off.
its interesting to see how attractive the GN2 is once all the people who down it change once the have it in their hands.
OP root it while she sleeps.

My girl has iphone4 and says she has no special loyalty to Apple so I had her play with my note 2 a bit. The size is way too big for her hands, comical really, but that's no problem there are other great phones.
You know what it came down to? Bejeweled Blitz.
She plays that game constantly and there is no equivalent in the android market.
There are several bejeweled clones and one real bejeweled2 from EA, but it turns out they all suck.
The apple version is perfectly responsive. Every time you touch anything it reacts immediately no matter what else is going on elsewhere on the screen at the same time. But on my phone it won't even register trying to swipe new jewels until the explosion animations from the last move are all done playong out. This is on a note2 that's even somewhat debloated because I deleted all the services and junk for weather, stocks, social integration, allshare, sysscope, smart device manager and touchwiz. There can't possibly be a cpu issue. And this was the real game from EA/PopCap not the small indipendents.
I never play any games so I would never have noticed this. But just watching her try to play a simple game on the supposedly highest end badest badassest uber phone was pretty embarassing.
She actually said it's not necessarily a deal breaker but I believe in quality of life. If that's what she likes and Android can't provide it then that's all there is to it. Guess she gets an iphone 5 even though she lives with an Apple hating unix sys admin.
I actually blame Apple more than Android or the game developers. Apple forces developers to choose only one platform to invest their limited resources by blocking use of cross platform tools, and few developers can really afford to support multiple platforms the hard way without cross platform tools.

There's nothing wrong with Apple products. They cost more and it's a closed box but it if you download something from the App Store, it works. No force close, no lag, nothing to complain about. The tablet apps are actually designed for tablets and for the most part they get updated with every iteration of iOS.
I love my Note and the Galaxy S2, Thunderbolt and Fascinate that came before it but I've never once got pissed off at an iPhone because the lock screen wouldn't come on without lag or the gallery froze the phone. The gallery in MA7 makes me want to punch a baby in the face.

Actually apps on her phone crash all the time. Depends on the app. We both use a unique app called guidebook. The android version works fine for me on both my ltevo with gb and the note2 with jb, but it crashes constantly on her ip4.
And half of her apps are old because they now require ios5 or later. She's on ios4 so she can't update any of those any more. And she doesn't want to update ios because she has good google maps right now.
The closed nature and vendor lock in and nanny app blocking ultimately causes more problems than it solves. It's ultimately a self-defeating dead end. It's only good for one thing, making a few people money right now. It's bad for both users and developers.

Lol apple has force closes they just dont tell their sheep cuz the assume they are dumb enough if a dialog doesn't show they'll just assume they caused the app to disappear . Theres nothing about apple at all appealing. They steal peoples opensource work close it up rush to grab a baseless patent and then sue the original creators into submission, its pathetic and their business practices are akin to that of organized crime, disgusting really.
I like to break stuff!

Apple v. Android discussions are getting tired. To consider Apple as pure garbage is foolish, and to completely write off Android is just as foolish. Both have their followers for different reasons- who cares?

Apples issues have nothing to do with android. Apples issues lie solely on apples shoulders with their crooked business practices. Giving apple your money is no different than giving it to the mob.

Yep that's a solid argument.
Please tell me more about how you only support companies with pure business practices. Or perhaps how you speak out about all crooked business practices, and not only Apple.
I would imagine a thorough review of Google and their business practices may enlighten you- but that wouldn't be fun, would it?
FIGHT THE MAN!

It's impossible to avoid patronizing companies run by bad people that do bad things.
It's not imossible to try. It only requires you care.

Then quit being hypocritical- acting like using Android makes you a saint vs. Apple is a joke, plain and simple.
The fact of the matter is current patent law in America is disgusting. Can you blame Apple for exploiting what is terrible law? Absolutely not. Same argument a majority of the people are making against the rich and the current tax code.
Fact of the matter is a majority, if not all, people here are making an argument based solely on emotion. To state it in terms more complex than "Android v. Apple" is, at best, false.
Give it a rest.

Well most companies don't buy themselves frivolous patents and then use them to sue their competitors into submission. They usually work harder and pay people who have the skills to put them ahead instead of trying to cheat their way to the top. there's a difference between companies cutting costs by outsourcing work and companies cutting costs by stealing the work.

For the last 10 years, XDA-Developers has been a central pillar in the world of mobile device development. What started as a shared idea of a few enthusiasts, hackers, and developers, has evolved into a massive online community with members and developers from across the globe. Despite the size of our community, our ethos still stands strong: to advance the technology we use by means of research and collaboration. Our community has grown the way it has because people don’t like being chained to anything, let alone to a device that is bound to become obsolete within 6 months of hitting the market. That is the ideal that moves our community, but the driving force behind it is the ability and willingness to learn from each other. As a result of that thirst for knowledge, our devs have been able to accomplish the seemingly impossible (at least according to the very people who create the devices we own and love), which is to improve, adapt, and perfect, and even revive the devices.
We have seen some of, if not all, of the greatest names in this field taking off on our site and growing into giants in the mobile scene. People with similar interests congregate in the virtual walls of our forum and work towards a better future. XDA: DevCon is all this but taken a step further by tearing down the virtual walls and closing the distances that separate our community members from each other. The main objective of the conference is very simple: to take what we normally do in our forum and bring it live to maximize the experience and to learn from the very best. Most importantly, we aim to do it while having fun, just like the hobby this is meant to be. We’ll learn, laugh and have fun in the true spirit of XDA – collaboration.
Join us in honor of our Tenth Anniversary at our first Developer Conference – for developers by developers.

Special Price on Tickets
We want members of the XDA Community to be able to attend at a special price. So effective today, June 3, you can purchase tickets to XDA: DevCon for 50% off the regular price.

Thanks

Would love to go to this, unfortunately I am unable to attend as I live in Australia, I do not have a passport, and I am only 17.
Would be a great kick to my development career if I could though!
Looking forward to a live stream of the event!

Well, due to the timing I'm out. But I have to ask - please consider something up here in Chicago. Got a lot of folks that could probably make it out here quite easily thanks to O'Hare and Midway - or drive, CTA, etc...

Less then 2 weeks until the Party Starts, I cant wait!

In case anybody's interested, here's a site that shows parking rates near the hotel (1395 Brickell Avenue) -- www.parkme.com (clicking the link launches search for the address and prompts for date(s) and times).
Cheapest: Miami-Dade College's parking garage, next to College-Bayside Metromover station parking garage[/url]. $5/day. You aren't going to do better than this. Roughly 20-25 minutes away by Metromover (free, 1.5 to 5 minute headways between 7am and midnight daily, roughly 1 block walk at both ends of the trip. Make sure you board "Brickell Loop").
For overnight parking, another cheap(-ish) option is 777 Brickell Avenue's garage... $10/day (resets at 7am, but doesn't become cheap until after 9pm Friday). Depending on headways, it might (or might not) be worth boarding Metromover at Eighth Street station and riding it to the end.You won't really save any time vs walking, but it's air conditioned.
For reference, the hotel itself charges guests $26/day for self-parking (no in/out), and $46/day ($38 + taxes) for valet (in/out allowed). I don't know whether non-guests are charged the same amount.
Other transportation options:
Metrorail now goes directly to the airport. Board at MIC (don't worry about color or direction... any train leaving the airport is going to be southbound Orange line). Get off at Brickell Station (one station south of Government Center). Transfer to Metromover (free, follow signs) and go south to the end of the line (Financial District Station). If you get on a car going the wrong direction and end up on the other side of the river in downtown Miami, just chill and enjoy the unplanned detour. It'll loop around downtown once, and head right back & end up at the right station.
For another year or so, Tri-Rail's airport station is closed due to construction, so if you're transferring to or from Metrorail, the original transfer station between 'Hialeah' and 'Northside' is still your only good option (you could technically take Tri-Rail to "Hialeah Market" station & take the shuttle to MIC, but it would be kind of silly).
Beware... Metrorail runs every 30 minutes on weekends, and neither Metrorail nor Tri-Rail even TRY to coordinate transfers. If northbound Metrorail and Tri-Rail trains arrive simultaneously, there's a 97% chance that one or both will deliberately leave before the screaming, desperate passengers running up or down the escalator 3 steps at a time get anywhere near the other train's platform unless one or more sympathetic passengers take matters into their own hands and stand in the doors so they can't close. The last two northbound trains on Saturday & Sunday depart from the Metrorail transfer station at 6:27pm and 9:52pm.

Excited to be attending. Thinking of setting up a little live blog action. Any qualms with licensing or anything like that?

Hopefully, 30% chance means it won't happen. Its been raining everyday in Kansas for awhile, and want to get to a part of the country where its sunny.

By South Florida standards, a "30% chance of rain" is practically a drought. :laugh:

All kidding aside, if they end up needing to scrape together another presentation if they have someone bail or want to tack one on to the very end, it would be awesome if they could find someone to give a "CM/AOSP/AOKP: source to S3" presentation that
* sets up a virgin build environment
* builds them all the way to a flashable ROM (showing all the first-time problems that get encountered along the way & how to fix them), then
* flashes that shiny new source-built ROM to an American S3 (or some comparable American phone that's not a Nexus and requires a bit of work to actually end up with a real, flashable ROM), including all the stuff necessary to make both the proprietary hardware and carrier-specific services work.
I'm using the American S3 as an example, mainly because it's probably the single most popular Android phone in terms of sheer numbers, it's mature enough to be relatively well understood (but still a b**ch to get an actual, flashable, fully-working ROM for), and the American versions all have identical hardware insofar as Android itself has to care.
Then again, something like this would probably have to be a multi-day bootcamp-type event, just because there's such a staggering amount of ground to cover... like having people who are attending get their prerequisite build environment set up (Ubuntu or Mac) and able to make it through some automated build without dying before arrival, then do the actual bootcamp the day before the conference itself begins. Or, to get really adventurous, maybe spend the day before the conference begins having the Nexus bootcamp laying the foundation, then have the "guerrilla warfare non-Nexus" bootcamp pick up where the Nexus one ends the day after the conference is over.
