Ice Cream Sandwich melts in summer heat
I just recently updated Samsung Galaxy S II with official release of Ice Cream Sandwich. Unfortunately, I am not completely satisfied with it. Main reason is that it sucks the battery like a thirsty man during summer heat. Ooops, and the bottle is empty before you even understand what happened. Previously, Galaxy S II needed … Continue reading
Unbearable lightness of tablets
Well, they are light when you compare tablets weight with a pile of books, newspapers, magazines, printouts etc. And that is the main advantage of tablets… at least for me.

Windows, Samsung Kies and self-inflicted mental pain
I really hate Windows. Fortunately I do not have to use it, except occasionally. And those occasions end up to appear like worst nightmare. This time I thought to install Samsung Kies and prepare myself for upcoming update of Samsung Galaxy S (Android 2.2). What ensued was probably the worst day and a half of … Continue reading
