A vent! - Note 7 Questions & Answers

Please tell me why with every mobile introduced we have people making Youtube clips of the mobile being hit with hammers, knives, boiled in soup, cooked in a cake etc etc? I truly don't understand these clips. They are in no small way scientific and prove nothing. Where does Samsung say that that the note 7 can be hit with a 1.5kg hammer? Why would someone take a hammer to a phone? Why are such morons surprised when the mobile breaks?
What do these clips achieve? I genuinely don't understand them, in fact I find them a complete insult to the maker of the clip and feel embarrassed particularly when they take such clips seriously!

Because they make more than enough money to buy and trash phones by uploading those videos on youtube. People are bound to watch them out of curiosity and insecurity.

Because... They make money out of YouTube advertising?

And lets be honest there is a market for those videos I myself am guilty of watching some of those. OP doesn't even need to think why. He should just look at the thread about gorilla glass 5 and how that is going to understand why.

It's the Video age!

I just saw the hammer test video in my YouTube feed. It was created two days ago and it has already gathered 100k views.
Directly below was a Sonic Boss Run video. Created 11 months ago and "only" 50k views.

Exactly.... So glad I don't have to read that everyday in this forum anymore.
Geez... I didn't realize this thread was a parody of his posts at first. I got all frustrated for a few seconds there. But that was classic!
what did he actually do to get banned? i mean he did spam, but all those apps work didnt they?

"you didnt read the directions, this is the best player ever (for this week)"
"if the video is not as clear as blueray, you screwed something up"
and my favorite "you stole my player that I stole and rebadged fair and square" (paraphrasing, but not much!)

I don't know I saw that too but I just skimmed over the whole post as it was all garble to me. I think he was implying that the "Ultra-Mega Sonic Blu-Ray all the fruity colors of the rainbow Dolby surround sound heat seeking killer media player sent from SKYNET" was sent from outer space by aliens from Mars, and was released by NASA or something! Initially it was developed by the aliens as software for an ultra-pulsating anal probe but when that failed they decided to make a few tweaks and BAM !!! - the Ultra-Mega Sonic Blu-Ray player thingy was born! We should all sit back and behold this most awesome piece of alien technology! Woooooow!!!

My Tilt 2 Unboxing Vid

Unboxing videos are for people who don't yet have the gadget, but are wanting it. There are few things as fun in a geeks life as opening a new toy and playing with it for the first time. Unboxing is kind of like geek porn in a way.

Haha, you hit the nail on the head with that one, and I can relate to that because I myself am a gadget geek. However, when watching unboxing videos, I tend to feel impatient and jealous. Instead of just shutting out normal customers completely with the early release, why not just charge non-premiere customers an additional fee, that way both sides are happy, AT&T gets more money in their greedy little hands, and the non-premiere customers get the option of getting it early.

Spin your Browser in 3D and Rotate your Video in Windows Phone 7 (Video)

Spin your Browser in 3D and Rotate your Video in Windows Phone 7 (Video) - Have you ever thought of spinning your browser in 3D ? Or Have you ever though of rotating a playing video in 360 degrees ? Well, Guys at Microsoft Hyderabad IDC, India thought of this and implemented into Windows Phone 7 with Silverlight.

Hey, how about giving me some credit? You ripped off my videos without any credit on the blog posts? Very convenient of you to give a link back on the Youtube page which no one cares to read.
I did and I always give credits
Take a look at my post carefully, I have credited you. I have even mentioned your site in Youtube video description. What else do you expect? Please let me know.

Good to know you thrive on kudos rather than sharing information to the world - even though the OP quite clearly did attribute the videos to you.
Thanks for bringing this to my attention, WM7 is looking more & more delicious for developers. Imagine what kind of crazy mind-bending code you would have to write with .NET CF 3.5 to achieve this kind of result.

New WP7 ad

AT&T has a new ad for WP7 and i think its the best one so far. it finally shows off what the phone can do. What do you guys think of the ad.
here is the link
YouTube - New Windows Phone Ad: What if?
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mrhpXQqS3Is
Best wp7 ad I have seen so far...I hope sprint can come up with something like this
It's amazing. This add attracts peoples attention for WP7.
For me, also the best ad i have seen. Here in Germany, the ads of WP7 are not very good (my opinion).
nice marketing ! the graphics pouring into the phones is sharp !
too bad you can't share any of those movies, pictures, or files with a friends phone.

I think you have answered your question. Does he even own a Windows Phone? You have to question someone's motivations, maturity, or mental development. Or all 3.
def. the best ad so far, finally they aren't playing those stupid ones about that idiot skydiving who has a dedicated hw camera button or that dumbass who keeps looking at his phone, looks like MS finally found a decent marketing strategy (or is this ATT's doing?)

[Q] Survival apps for when TSHTF?

I have smart tools, most handy thing out of that is the compass basically.
So im asking, what are the best survival apps?
Im no conspiracy nut, but it doesn't take a genius to realize the earth is going through stuff it never has before.
Survival apps meaning:
Any guides (i already have the US army & Navy guides)
Any tools that utilizes the Epic's tech (i.e compass, solar wind activity)
If we do not already, someone needs to start coding some serious apps.
Also, if anyone knows of any good ad-hoc programs for when cell towers go down.
Having a nice shiny phone wont mean **** when the cell towers go down.
Take this seriously, please.
When the towers go down and all that madness starts happening, how do you plan on charging your shiny phone?
Edit: As snide a response as this is, I'm being serious. There's better ways to be prepared.
In all seriousness, anything a smartphone can do (assuming network infrastructure is kaput) is better done with a purpose built tool. If TSHTF, you really think a day or two of battery life is gonna cut it?
Better to get a standalone analog compass, a good set of maps, and a decent Yaesu HT ham radio. No reason to reinvent the wheel.
(Unless you want to play Angry Birds)

I just thanked you when i meant to quote lol, off to a great start. As for your "response", no ****.
**** hits the fan, you have a phone for 2-3 MAX, what apps are you gonna have that will help you?
You think i assume our Epics are gonna be solar charged or something?
So again, 2-3 days max...what apps are going to be the most helpful?
EDIT: If you're going to state the obvious (phone dying) then dont bother posting, im fully aware of
that as its the big pink elephant in the room.

It's okay. I'm thank-worthy. As much as I love technology and the cool things it can do... I wouldn't really bother. You're a lot better off learning basic things like first aid and having the head knowledge than being reliant on anything. Also, it's awfully optimistic to hope for more than 24 hours max if you ask me.

Lol, you're an interesting fellow -- interesting is the nicest word I can think of at the moment.
I have everything else covered, dry meals, water filters, i have enough first aid kits to aid a village. I have much more aid that i wont list as it comes from ex-military friends, trust me when I say I have everything else covered.
So again, when TSHTF, what are the most useful apps?
I cant even believe im trying to explain to you the importance of having survival apps on your phone, feel like im taking crazy pills or something.
EDIT: and no, you are not thank worthy -- not even close. Please abandon the thread if you continue to think small small-mindedly, on the other hand
if you want to contribute, please do.
They have solar chargers for laptops which will hold over 10 full cellphone charges and require something like 10 hours of sunlight to get those 10 full charges. With them, you could charge your cell phone as fast as you could with a normal power adapter from the wall.
I think they also have $50 range solar chargers which would hold about 3-4 cell phone charges, and get your cell phone charged fully in 3-4 hours from sunlight or from the built-in battery.
I'll take a stab at a serious reply for ya...
Other than a compass, obviously... A GPS program with pre-downloaded maps might come in handy, something like Gaia GPS, perhaps, where you can get maps with hiking trails listed. I figure if something happens to take out the satellites, you probably wouldn't be around to worry about much else!

So, let me get this straight. You shoot people to get directions?
Gotta love 'em rednecks.
Thanks Nabbed & Dalmus, will definitely look into both of those.
As for the others, the ignorance is amazing.
Ill list some of my own if anyone didnt already know about them:
BrightestFlashlight
U.S. Army Survival Guide
U.S. Navy Seal Training Guide (which i downloaded & loaded onto my phone w/ a pdf reader)
Boskoi (utilizes google maps (albeit if its still up) to show you ALL edible sources around you, nuts, fruits, berries, even fungi.
ICE: In Case of Emergence (shows you First & Local responders (police stations, hospitals) and also gives you information on allergies, specific medical conditions,
how to treat someone who is unconscious, ect.
Also remember, if you have some steel wool & enough tinder you can start a fire with your own battery.
Small-minded thinking gets you nowhere, open-minded with a dash of doubt is most important.
Not just outright "Oh you think you're phone will save you?"

No offense taken.
The right approach would be to think, wow we really do need some handy apps.
I'd code everything myself and not ask a single question but I obviously dont have that knowledge so instead I have to take a gamble, post on here -- & get nothing but ignorant responses.
Except for the few that get what im saying

I'm not sure how my post was ignorant at all, I was kind of thinking the same about this entire thread. This belongs somewhere, yes, but not here. At least take it over to the themes and apps section... And no I don't think we need apps of this kind. If I was worried about something happening, I'd get actual tools designed (and much better) to solve these problems than my cell phone.
you could smash the gorilla glass and use it to skin squirrels and cut paracord.

It's called a map and compass for directions. Gun to hold onto my shiny cell phone that I will wear around my neck as a trophy because that's all it will be good for.
If your really looking for a serious note on this and I am still confused why you'd rely on a cell phone when things go down but I'd get all the guides, local maps, points in interest I.e. police stations, military bases, hospitals and load them into PDF files then save them on your phone so you can have all the info ready. No cell reception required.

You'd be much better served with a glock. If you want to shoot bandits in the case of a national emergency, a handgun trumps the rifle.
Also, you seem to be confused, friend. If you are going up against a totalitarian government, then a rifle is a good choice. A handgun is much better in the case of riots. Your confusion seems to stem from the misinterpretation of the Second Amendment. You see, you can fight against injustice with a rifle, but a handgun is much more useful in case of civil disobedience.
I have to repeat these obvious truths 3 times over because rednecks really don't think for themselves.

Lol your a tool box good sir. This thread went from worthless to just silly. Who is talking about fighting the government, riots or second amendment. Apparently your idea of $hit hitting the fan is way different then most. This went from joking around to you getting mad. Why so mad?
I'll make it even simpler, a pistol for CQB/CQD and a rifle for anything past that. Take your smugness somewhere else, it doesn't really add much here.
