Is it the actual MotoX active notification feature or the app that works just like it called "DynamicNotifications"? https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.greatbytes.activenotifications

Woooooooooooosshhhh

I have no evidence one way or another, but that's only because it's completely irrelevant.

HOF committee decides. Used to be they deferred to the player (Nolan Ryan etc) but they changed it. Vlad can certainly state his preference.

If he doesn't pull your chair out and let you order first, I'm calling into question all this "class" business...

Not up to him.

I'm sure he's a swell guy, but I've never heard a guy with 8 kids from 5 women described as "classy".

How does everyone know how "classy" he is? Did he invite you all to champagne brunch?

"moderately interesting comment..." FIVE PAGES!

Google has been making major version updates less and less important. The decoupling of functional apps like the keyboard along with the Play Store services updates. I think people will be safe with 4.1 for a reasonable amount of time.

The cult of personality.

It's a generation old, that's why it's so cheap. I hate 2 year contracts, but I think these newer smartphones will hold up just fine for a few generations as long as you aren't a spec-whore or a version-nerd.

Has it occurred to you that AngelsWin is not all one person? Just because some people don't trust Gammons does not mean that nobody trusts him. Maybe he's got an agenda or a bad source, but between you, me and Gammons he is by far the most likely person to have this knowledge.

For your sanity, I won't post a link to the Gammons thread. You're welcome.

I should have known be was just regurgitating his own blog post; that's nearly word for word what he said, except I don't remember him saying that last sentence, which seems to go a little further in saying that Dipoto got overruled.

He's got a limited NTC so I guess Howie could have vetoed it.

The original report of that deal stated that it was unknown which party backed away from the deal, so I guess Gammons' usage of "overruled" is the issue here. Either he's got inside knowledge, or just using that word to describe the likely scenario that someone said "no".

Gammons was on MLB network a few hours ago and was doing his usual shtick. The bullet point he was discussing was that, even with all the questionable pitching moves, CJ Wilson was a good deal and Dipoto should be credited with the signing. As he was evaluating the rotation he said they are a young pitcher away from a respectable rotation, and almost as an aside, said dDipoto had such a deal at the deadline but it was "overruled". He didn't say who overruled it (the other team?) and he never followed up. Is this a story line that we know about? July seems like a long time ago so I can't remember if he was just reiterating a well-known fact, or trying to drop "insider knowledge"...

Aquamail is a good email app.

Do you mean it was a big day for smartphones or a day for big smartphones?

Honest question Spencer: what makes Anaheim any different from other OC cities waiting on economic recovery to build up? What will be the appeal to young families?
