November 29, 201213 yr Active Members Predictive spelling has changed so many words on my Ipad to to use the word they think I wanted or thought I should use. It's a pain to keep going back and correcting their changes. My Samsung Galaxy is worse. As I am typing, they keep changing the word to what they think i might want, and they get so far afield, that sometimes I forget the word i actually wanted. And today I wanted to go to the online Bay Area Reporter, the weekly San Francisco gay newspaper. So I typed in ebar.com, and they came up and said: "It seems you meant to go to ebay.com. Do you want us to block malicious websites for you? Are those two questions even related?
November 29, 201213 yr Active Members How to turn off predictive text in the iPad and Samsung Galaxy. No knead to think me.
December 1, 201213 yr Author Active Members Well, I won't thank you then. On Wednesday I dropped my Android onto a stone floor and the screen shattered. Because I had bought the insurance, I filed a claim on Thursday. On Friday a new phone arrived at my house. I was pretty impressed with the service! (lookin, thank you for reading this post.)
December 1, 201213 yr Oh my Lucky you are so smart.. I think you would survive even if someone dropped you off in desert.. I didn't purchase insurance so I am writing on a smart phone with the shattered screen.. I'm have to buy one as soon as I get back to US...I thought about buying one here but iPhone5 is not out yet... Well, I won't thank you then.

December 1, 201213 yr Author Active Members I didn't know that you were out of the USA. Where are you these days?
December 1, 201213 yr I generally dislike product insurance oversells, but the Asurion insurance plan available with my Verizon Wireless contract seems a good deal. For like $15/month, plus a $165 charge if you actually make a claim, they replace the device overnight, no quibbles. This past January I let my iPhone get stolen -- twice in one month! -- so the plan much more than paid for itself.
December 1, 201213 yr Author Active Members Actually, my plan is $7 a month and $99 charge on a claim. It is also with Asurion.
December 2, 201213 yr I took advantage of a major Black Friday discount at Amazon and bought their Kindle Fire (low end) for $129. I thought that was a good disposable price point. I haven't bought into the iPad solutions yet because I'm not traveling enough. But I want one to read books and magazines going forward and I hope that the Kindle Fire will have a better battery life. But it is not as smooth of a solution as the Apple solutions that's for sure. But it also has all of that predictive stuff. But I love the reading screen for books and magazines. That's what I'm going to use it for the most anyway at this point.
