Looks like I'll be saving some money. I purchased a $99 TouchPad on Amazon last Sunday and just received the email telling me my order was cancelled due to out of stock. Geez. When I placed my order it was in stock. Oh well. I have a smart-phone and a netbook, did I really need a tablet?

Yeah a tablet with no apps and no one developing new apps. Your not missing out. There is however a movement to port Android to them.

I saw that, Chris Darrow. I was wondering how that would work since Android relies heavily on it's "back" button and the TouchPad was designed with only one button, ala iPad.

I bet the hackers will create some sort of multi click system or virtual buttons.

I have a galaxy tab, way more than $99, but worth it. Android, lots internal memory, flash, and more.

EVO View tablet here. Love it. I got Ann the iPad 2 for her birthday in May, and it's just too big a form factor for me to want to carry around. The View is a 7" form factor (same size as the Galaxy Tab, but thinner and lighter), and it'll fit in a pocket. Sometimes just barely (wrangler painter's jeans have pockets that my hands barely fit in), but if I can get my hand in a pocket past the wrist, the tablet will fit comfortably.

That is how my GTab is as well. Just right for a lot of things. There are a few things I like the size of the iPad better for. But for most things I prefer the size of the GTab.

So, I asked Andrew Tamm, who filled my Stream with a hundred (sarcasm there) animated gifs and cat pictures to remove me from whatever Circle he has me in where he posts the animated gifs and cat pictures. It was either that or unfollow him and I didn't see any reason to unfollow him. Me asking https://plus.google.com/112885755521259735422/posts/78dwnvvgh4p <==edited to add the correct link Then he plusses me onto Public posts of animated cat gifs : https://plus.google.com/u/0/112885755521259735422/posts/EuuR1tnU3vJ https://plus.google.com/u/0/112885755521259735422/posts/8r6Grcm2Jpj https://plus.google.com/u/0/112885755521259735422/posts/74PgSu6iL2s Then one of his friends (or Circlers) starts plussing me into posts of animated cat gifs : https://plus.google.com/u/0/107120198886093172821/posts/gRW9JhWLs5T Don't get me wrong, I'm all about sarcasm and messing with people, but this seems sort of childish to me. Am I the only one who thinks so? So far I have only blocked

I'm shutting down Google+ for the night and quite possibly for the weekend. Why? This stupid #gifwars thing people are so proud of. This Adam Black guy said he doesn't like gifs and now everyone is mass trolling him. Having been mass trolled like this I can relate to him easily enough. Have an opinion and the collective might of Google+'s lower class denizens jump on a bandwagon. I just saw a post where someone wanted to jump on board and had to get clarification she was tagging the proper Adam Black. She wasn't even connected to him ! Nor was she a part of the original discussion. She just wanted to follow the herd. When I called her out of it she claimed, "one gif doesn't make a troll." Perhaps not, but she's contributing to a larger troll effort. One straw doesn't break the camel's back, but thousands will. So, tonight, Google+ disgusts me. It probably will tomorrow as well. And possibly Sunday. I gave up Google+ for two months this spring
