Aunt Jill won't be here for our 1000th episode this Friday because she only works out of the CNET office on Wednesdays, so we're popping bottles prematurely because hey, it's the 90s.

Along with a light wine tasting, Jill also gives a quick duster on the state of the Greek debt crisis and the Dow cracking 13000 after almost four years. In return, we'll tell Jill about the wonders of Instagram and Kim Dotcom's release from the New Zealand prison system.

Leaked from 404 Podcast 998:

Motorhead follows Elvis Costello, asks fans to NOT buy $ 600 box set.

Question by nyerbeezwax: What apple variety is crispiest and freshest and best to buy during the winter in California?
I usually buy Gala apples. Least week I bought a few and all of them were mushy. They must have been stored in a warehouse for months and months. Which apples do you buy in the winter? I'm in Central California. Texture is my biggest concern. I like a fresh, crisp apple. Thank you.

Best answer:

Answer by Sister Midnight
I like gala, honey crisp, or fuji. They are usually crisp and juicy. I stay away from red delicious b/c they taste like wood to me.

As usual, Samsung was involved in a fair number of product announcements this past CES, but the Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G's debut proved the most hush-hush.

From such tinder comes more news of T-Mobile's Galaxy S Blaze 4G, including an official launch target--"late March"--and pricing: $ 149.99 after a $ 50 mail-in rebate card, and with a two-year contract.

LTE may still be on T-Mobile's to-do list, but the Blaze is equipped to handle HSPA+42, T-Mobile's faster of its two 4G strains. An Android 2.3 Gingerbread phone, the Blaze 4G sports a 4-inch Super AMOLED display, a 1.5GHz dual-core Qualcomm Snapdragon S3 processor, and a 5-megapixel camera with support for 720p HD video. A 1.3-megapixel front-facing camera assists with video chats.

T-Mobile and Samsung are plugging the preloaded apps, which include T-Mobile TV, a version of the Yelp that will let y... [Read more]

Question by : What are the advantages having android operating system on mobile phone?
What are the complete advantages and features of android os behind symbian os?? Please answer me because i am planning to buy an android mobile ranging 7 to 10k Indian rupees.THANK YOU

Best answer:

Answer by mahesh Murali
for budget of 7k-10k android doesnt offer much,maybe some basic apps,you need to buy atleast in range of 17k to get full potential of os,like flash support on browser,future update like ics,hd gaming 800*480 resolution,hd recording etc.for 7-10k symbian is safe bet coz most android phone at the price have terrible battery backup,call and signal quality issues,stability issues etc.
