Galaxy Nexus is taken off Google Play US Store.

Galaxy Nexus is no longer available for sale at Google Play US Store. Samsung’s request for a stay of injunction against the sale of Galaxy Nexus was denied by the Honorable Judge Lucy Koh.

I wonder what would happen to the Nexus-7 tablet. What if it were banned for sale in the US too? I have already preordered one and there might be a chance I wouldn’t be getting it. To be honest, I am expecting Nexus-7 to ship before Apple can do anything about it. Then again, Apple has yet to sue ASUS for any slavish copying.

Note from Vondiggity:

“Who’s laughing now? I already bought one.”

Replies from me:

“You paid $399 plus sales tax and shipping. The price is $349 plus sales tax and shipping. That $50 can get you a lot of taco on Taco Tuesday.”

The Week that kinda never was.

The 4th of July falls on Wednesday this year and that means a lot of people actually taking the whole week off. This certainly affects how things are in the United States. One thing I can say is that this week has not been a busy week.

I managed to get things done here at the office. Reinstalling OS X Lion and Windows 7 on various computers.

I am looking forward to the 4th of July celebration with good friends and my camera. I hope to take a lot of pictures.

Come Thursday, we all will try to get back to our regularly scheduled working life.

Hello July, 2012!

We all just hit a milestone and enter the second half of 2012. There are still a lot to look forward to this year.

  • Nexus-7 to hit the street sometimes in July.
  • OS X Lion is coming sometimes in July.
  • Windows 8 is coming sometimes this Fall.
  • Microsoft Surface is coming too.
  • The new iPhone is coming this Fall.

In addition to the above, there are still a few mystery products from Apple, Google and even Facebook.

I for one welcome July and the second half of 2012.
