Ok. So after watching a few videos I finally felt comfortable enough to go ahead and unlock the bootloader. Although I am not 100% sure what that actually does for me. I may go ahead and root later on....

Nexus noob here. Was finally able to pick one up from ATT yesterday( after much arguing with the sales associated who wanted me to switch plans, I have a very old plan with unlimited data). My real question is what to do to get the full Android/Nexus experience. I was able to delete all of ATT's...

a little back ground. I recently graduated from college at the ripe age of 29 and started working in the oil and gas industry as a purchaser.

Saw it yesterday. Really good movie. I thought it was very well paced. There is not a whole lot of action to it but it was a great slow burn.Tom Hardy and James Gandolfini were both really great in it. Guy in front of me obviously thought it was gonna have more action. Turned to me after it was ...

It is a lot of shite to learn. But i am enjoying the hell out of it. The guy i work with is a riot plus he knows so much about the field. I was originally an accounting intern with this company and he approached me about doing purchasing. So glad he did, this is a lot more fun that accounting....
