and i want to kick it across the room. why anyone (other than apple) thought it was a cool idea to create a tablet and intentionally gimp the crap out of it is beyond me. i'm taking it to italy on vacation tomorrow to use as an ereader and convenient web browser/email. if i like it, i'll root it when i get back so i can actually install real apps. otherwise it's going back.

sadly, my 2 year old gets my galaxy tab 10.1 so he has cooler technology than i do.

I'm guessing you can take the 2 year old in a fight so I don't see what the problem is.

2 year old being able to watch movies in the car is more important than my nerdrage.

Where in Italy are you going? I was stationed there for two years in the military. If you aren't going to Florence you might as well not go IMO.

Be sure to give a detailed trip report.

I really feel terrible that your wife sent me nudies of herself for my birthday. Would you feel better if I shared them?

Happy bday and if you are coming to Italy, look me up! I am here for a few more days or so.

If you go to Venice, there is a little city about thirty miles north called Azzano Decimo. It was the tenth city Attila the Hun pillaged when he came to Italy . Mia cuginetta (my cousin lives there) . That is my mothers side of the family's home town.

Jeebus how long are you staying? That's a lot of cities for a two week trip.

You could spend a year in Florence or Rome or Milan and not see half of what there is to see.
