damn breh, what happened?

got laid off, worked at fedex for a year or so...they say i can come back in a few months but they just don't have enough hours for me at the moment. Theres always unemployment tho but thats not gonna be enough.

gotta start liquidating some of my assets so i can make it until i find something else. I don't have much saved so everything counts, the IRS even took my refund this year. Ill probably just downgrade to a galaxy nexus

Google working on experimental 3.8 Linux kernel for Android

Google has opened a public kernel repository, marked as experimental, for the Linux 3.8 kernel. The kernel repo is built from the standard Linux kernel, with Android modifications added by the folks in Mountain View working on the Android project.

The reason this is good news? 3.8 includes three important and interesting changes for mobile devices -- support for open source NVIDIA Tegra and Samsung Exynos DRM drivers, support for the Flash-Friendly File-System, and a lower memory footprint -- in some cases much lower. Having native support means less development time by Google or anyone else building the kernel for Android, and everyone loves more memory for apps instead of the system.

It's important to realize that this is by no means official support. Currently, Android 4.2.2 Jelly Bean ships with the 3.4 kernel on the Nexus 4, but versions 3.0 and 3.3 are supported as well for other Jelly Bean devices. Maybe we'll see 3.8 in the next version of Android.

On this note, has anybody been on mod scene for the N4? I see a couple of kernels out there have major support and I'm thinking about using one. Don't needed a ROM just yet but I would mind squeezing more performance out of my N4

Google CFO: None of Motorola’s Upcoming Products are “Wow” by Google Standards

Back in January, Google CFO Patrick Pichette mentioned that Motorola had inherited 18 months of product pipeline that they would need to drain through before the company could focus on creating something completely new. We assumed at the time that he was referring to that period coming to an end with the RAZR HD and RAZR M, and that Moto would be working towards releasing their first set of products under new management some time by mid-2013. In what can only be considered sad news to Motorola fans, his remarks at today’s Morgan Stanley Technology Conference paint somewhat of a different picture.
