On a boring party?
Follow these steps:
1. Grab your android device
2. Open android market
3. Search for BeerTimer
4. Download BeerTimer
5. Make boring party a success!
No seriously, I have developed an nice little app that lets your android phone time how fast one can drink fluids! It uses your phones acceleration to sense when the table it lays on is being hit.
Usage: Lay phone on a table, hit the table once to start the stopwatch, then again to stop the time. One use is to time how fast one can drink fluids (beer chug game).
Or if you don't drink bear, then it's just a great stopwatch with a beer in the background!

Haha you're right, we do a little chugging here in Missouri.
I'd like to suggest some type of leader-board or someway to save high scores, for review the next day.

That is on the way! Not sure when im done with it. Thinking about give people able to register for referee rights so that they can verify times and upload them to a global scoreboard!
I got a tip about using facebook for scores. And a way to create local tournaments (aka at house party) with dedicated referees. Any thoughts?
Damn, i'm a wimp. Regular 12oz can of beer 14 seconds. Gotta work on my chugging. Thank you, this app just opened my eyes as to Joe slow I am.

If this is a serious question, there is a brief explanation in the app as well in the description.
You have a bottle/can of beer. You hit the table which the phone is running this app on and start to chug the beer. When you are done, you smack the can/bottle in the table and the timer stops.

From Techcrunch:
Siri for android is here
While voice control has been part of Android since the dawn of time, Siri came along and ruined the fun with its superior search and understanding capabilities. However, an industrious team of folks from Dexetra.com, led by Narayan Babu, built a Siri-alike in just 8 hours during a hackathon.
Iris allows you to search on various subjects including conversions, art, literature, history, and biology. You can ask it “What is a fish?” and it will reply with a paragraph from Wikipedia focusing on our finned friends.
The app will soon be available soon from the Android Marketplace but I tried it recently and found it a bit sparse but quite cool. It uses Android’s speech-to-text functions to understand basic questions and Narayan and his buddies are improving the app all the time.
The coolest thing? The finished the app in eight hours.
When we started seeing results, everyone got excited and started a high speed coding race. In no time, we added Voice input, Text-to-speech, also a lot of hueristic humor into Iris. Not until late evening we decided on the name “iris.”, which would be Siri in reverse. And we also reverse engineered a crazy expansion – Intelligent Rival Imitator of Siri. We were still in the fun mode, but when we started using it the results were actually good, really good.

Outstanding work in 8 hours. I think it's not a market releasable version right now... polish it, add more skills to Iris.
Keep up the good work and +1 for the name.
I just notice its in the market now. Pretty good for 8 hours of work. I wonder what they can do with more time?
great job guys in just 8 hrs... im sure you guys will keep us posted on further devolpements..

Gratz!! Awesome job
I downloaded it and, while I haven't had a chance to play with it much (I work at an ATT authorized retailer), I did like what I saw and have been telling my Android customers about it all day
So I ask: "what is 2+2"
Iris responds: "Conan O'Brien, he is very white"
Then I ask: "what is 2x2"
Iris responds: "Harry Potter"
Seems to work perfect to me.
I used this today and it sucked.
App is good. But analyzing stuff has a lot of scope to improve.

I tried asking the questions shown in the screenshot of the OP, i got nothing remotely like that lol. Any question i asked ended up "i'm too tired to respond now, try asking me again later"
At the least, it is entertaining. Perhaps not as useful as SIRI in giving accurate answers. But my family is having a blast asking and frequently laughing at the responses. That, is priceless. Thanks!

Hi. My name is Ari and I'm a alcoholic.
Just kidding, but seriously.
Ok here is the deal, like my tittle states I am looking for a reasonable tablet for my son. I will not state his age whereas he is extremely too young for such device, but his mother (my ex), yes I am single PM for details, have agreed it may be a good idea to buy one.
Reasons why we are considering;
To enhance his learning abilities, play learning games, and she questioned if there was something out there we could possibly use as a movie viewer while on longer then normal car rides.
Now I know there are probably 107 threads just like this but i felt the need to make a new one. I would really like all opinions so I can better gauge my research before making a purchase.
Clearly an iPad would be a good choice but lets face it folks, I'm not wiping my ass with money.
Any help, kind words and inquires about dating would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks for your time.

Its very well designed, with good specs and a nice comfortable size for a child. Also its got a very affordable price tag as well. And its a nexus device which means timely updates. Aaaaand its got the latest and greatest flavour of Android.

How about an e-ink Kindle then? That way he can read even more books. I may be conventional in my views but I believe that cultivating the habit of reading when young is extremely important later on in life. =)
The Kindle Fire is also an option as it'll give your child the opportunity to play games.
the nexus 7 is a good choice; fast and responsive hardware for a fair price

Ryan Scott of the CyanogenMod team (you may know him better as ChiefzReloaded) has contracted a rare, flesh-eating virus.
CyanogenMod said:
A member has had a pretty serious problem fall into his lap. +Ryan Scott (aka ChiefzReloaded), a device maintainer, has a rare infection known as Necrotizing Fasciitis. This infection is caused by bacteria that eats skin, fat, and other tissue; it is literally a flesh-eating disease. Ryan is going through the treatments that he needs to keep him alive, but unfortunately, that treatment quickly becomes very expensive to deal with, and it is no exception for Ryan. This disease has placed an incredible strain on him and his family, including his young children. The CyanogenMod team would love to be able to hand out a fistful of cash and help out as much as possible.

Wikipedia said:
Necrotizing fasciitis (/ˈnɛkrəˌtaɪzɪŋ ˌfæʃiˈaɪtɪs/ or /ˌfæs-/) or NF, commonly known as flesh-eating disease or flesh-eating virus, is a rare infection of the deeper layers of skin and subcutaneous tissues, easily spreading across the fascial plane within the subcutaneous tissue.
Necrotizing fasciitis is quickly progressing, having greater risk of developing in the immunocompromised due to conditions like diabetes, cancer, etc. It is a severe disease of sudden onset and is usually treated immediately with high doses of intravenous antibiotics.
