Every conference sucks balls if you look at it as closely as we look at the Big Ten. The SEC has lost to western Kentucky and Louisiana Monroe or whatever they are two weeks in a row. Arkansas has fallen off the map. Outside of Bama I don't see much in college football this year.

QUOTE (WilliamTell @ Sep 14, 2012 -> 07:28 PM) Those are exactly the 2 reasons I was thinking about also. I'm already doubling my fruits and veggies, mainly because I usually don't do a great job eating them to begin with. Today I got a walking boot on and actually I like the crutches better mainly because it's harder to move around so I get a little bit of a work out that way. At least I can work out abs and a little bit of upper body. Unfortunately the doctor told me it's a hard bone to heal correctly so I might end up having to get a screw put in. 4 weeks could turn into who knows how long! Yeah, its a b**** just do it right. I ignored all of that s*** and a few years later my toe is still not right and its really hurt the rest of my body.

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Sep 14, 2012 -> 10:04 AM) So, what the f*** is up with Jay Cutler and night games? Does he not manage his diabetes well-enough? He always sucks at night! He had no energy last night, and he had no strength for the deep ball, and he also looked pale and s***ty. Probably cause he was getting his ass kicked repeatedly.

QUOTE (justBLAZE @ Sep 14, 2012 -> 06:28 AM) I don't follow the Marlins on daily basis but just heard on Mike and Mike interview with Buster Olney that Miami brass is not happy with Ozzie whatsoever. Olney said you can't rule out Ozzie getting canned. Crazy mother cow. 2 Years in a row he's taken a very good team and they've ended up in the s***ter under a cloud of his bulls***. I'd fire myself if I sucked that hard.

QUOTE (JoeCoolMan24 @ Sep 13, 2012 -> 11:18 PM) I posted a video because it was funny. You people need to lighten up a bit. It won't be the last funny video mocking Apple that I post, so try not to get too butthurt next time. As long as you dont cry and get all butthurt when posters make fun of your love for old out of date technology. "Wah this is just like high school wah"

QUOTE (HickoryHuskers @ Sep 13, 2012 -> 10:01 AM) Maybe you don't understand the difference between figurative and literal. In the world of college football, ND is figuratively the "richest kid" The Big Ten did at one point decide to go from 8 to 9 games, and even though they've switched back, the time in between caused some shifts in the series with MSU and UM, which was part of what got the ball rolling for ND to make the ACC move. Why? They dont have the largest fan base, not the largest tv deal, not the largest endowment, and haven't been competitive in the BCS era. What makes them so rich?

I broke my big toe years ago and tried to get back into it too soon and it affect my gait and the way I was placing my weight on my feet and consequently contributed to my knee injury. So be very careful and let it heal. I always say injury time sucks for many reason, not being active is the #1 reason, the #2 for me is I then go on a very strict diet to ensure I dont balloon.

QUOTE (Y2HH @ Sep 13, 2012 -> 08:41 AM) I use Google for a few things, namely: Chrome (not on iOS, however, I use Safari) Gmail (I have my own domain that runs email for my family on gmail servers since it's free, my email address is @.com, which is pretty cool) iGoogle (which is going away next year) YouTube Search I'm all google with work so my iphone, ipad, macair and imac are all syncing together and all are on google or google sites all day. All of my devices are "tied" together with dropbox and we collaborate internally with google drive. All of our employees are real time provisioned and deprovisioned google accounts through our own software which also allows us to have real SSO based on SAML tokens.

QUOTE (lostfan @ Sep 12, 2012 -> 08:40 PM) When I think about Apple products I don't think "you have to Google this to learn how to use it." I had always been under the impression that everything done on any Apple product was something any dummy could do intuitively, that was the whole selling point of the original iPhone. My point was that I didn't find this to be true like I thought it was. Using that standard, I think the high-end Android phones are actually easier. JMO. Lol, yes google and apple don't interop very well. Just like iTunes and android. However with a little tweaking both can work just fine. Everything else on an iPhone has been copied for a reason, its straight forward and simple. Press an icon and you get what you want. Companies all the way to enterprise software have ripped that off.

QUOTE (lostfan @ Sep 12, 2012 -> 08:31 PM) When I originally tried to do this I thought it was going to be self-explanatory. It is if you google that specific functionality. When I started at my current company I moved form outlook to gmail and I needed some help to do this, and I found a video we had in our portal for it but really it was on youtube.

QUOTE (Y2HH @ Sep 12, 2012 -> 08:27 PM) He's taking about using PowerPoint presentations on software that doesn't support it. This would be like trying to open PowerPoint on windows in notepad. It's using a wrench when he needs a hammer. Yeah you cant do that unless you have an app that opens powerpoint in the first place which I have, I also heavily use google docs. Definitely user error.

QUOTE (lostfan @ Sep 12, 2012 -> 07:53 PM) Apple's stock email program sucks. But when I installed the gmail app it's flawless just like the Android app or using gmail on the computer (it's hard to convince me there is a better web-based email than gmail) So let's say I go to gmail and I add Y2HH's phone number to my contacts. On my HTC Sensation, within a few seconds it will load your name and phone number to my phone (because I have that as my default contacts list, in Google's cloud). How do I get this to show on my iPad's contacts list WITHOUT hooking the f***ing thing up to iTunes? The less I have to use iTunes (for anything), the better. Mine works just fine with gmail if you use your native email client and do a sync. I add and delete contacts real time constantly and the native email client on my iphone works perfectly with gmail. You have to make sure you use the exchange function and not the gmail function. I dont think the iphone client sucks at all, I would rather use that than the web-based gmail client on my mac or PC.

QUOTE (chw42 @ Sep 12, 2012 -> 06:53 PM) I don't know how many times you've said this, but it's like Steve Jobs and now Tim Cook have hardcoded this into your brain. Apple has buzz words and phrases down to a tee and it seems like the people who use Apple products just take what they see from the ads and keynotes. And you know what the worst part is? When you ask people who like Apple why they like Apple. The response is..."IT WORKS". Really? It better work for the amount of money you paid. Want to be a little more specific? You'll get answers like "It's so intuitive" and "it's so seamless". It's not like I don't own an Apple product. I do and I don't find them THAT intuitive or THAT seamless. Here's a great example of something that I go through on a regular basis: I want to download my daily lecture notes for a class. I go on Chrome and oh guess what, Apple's stupid anti-competition policies don't allow Chrome to download the file. No jailbreak = no downloads on Chrome. The even worse part is that even with the Chrome downloader, I can't download Powerpoint files. Okay, I'll just go on Safari. So I download the Powerpoint and guess what? I can't open it with my note taking app. Alright, fine, I'll go get an app to print it to a PDF or just use QuickOffice (yours for a $15 value) to convert it. Alright, done. BUT HOW THE HELL DO I OPEN IT IN MY NOTE TAKING APP? Oh, yeah, you have to go to iFile and find the file in the mess of folders and then you can open it up in your note taking app. And oh, you need a jailbroken iPad for iFile. I go through this process at least twice a week and it takes me a good 5 minutes to finally start taking notes. SO INTUITIVE, SO SEAMLESS. I only needed 4 applications and a jailbroken iPad to start taking notes on it like I'm supposed to. THIS SHOULD NOT HAPPEN. And it's the perfect example why a closed ecosystem like iOS can restrict a device's usability. Thank goodness for the iOS hacking community. Otherwise, my iPad would be nothing more than something I can watch baseball games on. Before you ask why I don't just sync the lectures through iTunes... 1. Slides usually don't go up until an hour before class. Professors are busy/lazy. 2. Who the hell wants to sync anything through iTunes? LOL, no I know that because I work in technology with some of the most bleeding edge software programmers in the industry as well as visit just about every Fortune 1000 company in the marketplace. I know from experience. Second, I dont have any of those problems you cited whatsoever. We have over 300 people using macs with chrome with zero issues. I also use my ipad for day to day work and presentations seamlessly, I also take notes on my ipad in every meeting I am in and share them with co-workers realtime. Sounds like user error to me.

QUOTE (Soxbadger @ Sep 12, 2012 -> 06:16 PM) Thanks, thats what I assumed but always better to wait and see. I always liked how apple products work, I just never have bought one for a variety of reasons. Apple products just work. But for me the value increases by quite a bit when you have several of them so they can interop with each other. My apple TV for example does a nice job of tying everything together from a media standpoint.

QUOTE (JoeCoolMan24 @ Sep 12, 2012 -> 04:54 PM) It's hard for you to laugh at funny articles? Damn, you must live a difficult life. I'm just glad you dried your tears from being offended last night enough to come back in and poke fun at the elitests again.

QUOTE (HickoryHuskers @ Sep 12, 2012 -> 03:51 PM) Purdue isn't dropping ND at all. MSU and UM are moving from playing ND every year to 4-6 years of every ten. This has everything to do with the Big Ten going to a 9-game conference schedule and nothing to do with ND. You seem to be all knowing then, because thats not what I heard from very connected people. Michigan is going to replace ND with USC or at least they are trying to. MSU is also trying to schedule a more legitimate OOC team.

ND hasnt been relevant or rich in a long time. So far Michigan, MSU, Purdue are already dropping them from the schedule. ND is hurting itself by moving its games further away from where its located, and frankly, nobody really cares.

QUOTE (JoeCoolMan24 @ Sep 11, 2012 -> 06:15 PM) I had no idea what "clippy" was until you posted it. I mean the fact that you need to laugh at someone for not having a device that isn't "cool" or what everyone else has. Who the f*** cares? Why is it funny that I have Zune HD? I don't get the joke. I don't laugh at people for not wearing Northface, or for not driving a Lexus, or for not wearing Nikes. That's f***ing s*** you'd see if Mean Girls or the girls from Clueless would do. Such a high school girl mentality of elitism when it comes to consumer goods. You literally just explained the nature of every one of your apple related posts in this thread. You judge anyone that owns one and even stated you hated your generation because of it. You look down your nose at anyone who would succumb to Apples ploys, comparing them to sheep. So why are you so offended when someone criticizes your choices?

Just to be clear, if a pitcher doesn't get Cabrera out 4 times per game he's an overrated choke artist?

QUOTE (iamshack @ Sep 11, 2012 -> 05:35 PM) Recently started dating a Buckeye fan from Cleveland. She is determined to convert me and doesn't believe in my devotion to the Ducks. Chip Kelly isnt long for the college coaching ranks, especially with more and more investigations looming around their program. When they fall from grace it will be somewhat difficult to call you a front runner. You should however take the trip to columbus for a game sometime, you'll either love it or hate it, there is no in between.

QUOTE (JoeCoolMan24 @ Sep 11, 2012 -> 05:39 PM) Not sure you could have thought of a more terrible analogy, really. Why exactly? Do you even remember betamax? Betamax was revolutionary technology that unfortunately was released as a proprietary platform for only one and then a small number of hardware manufacturers. They also never got the full buy in from the media companies. The Zune is a proprietary platform produced by only one supplier correct? And it was somewhat passed by by a more universally accepted technology?

QUOTE (iamshack @ Sep 11, 2012 -> 02:22 PM) I've fallen in love with the Oregon program over the last few years. As someone with no real college allegiance, I decided to dedicate myself to full-out Duckness this season. I apologize in advance for annoying all of you this season with my front-running. It's cool, it wont be "front running" for much longer.
