    Thread Hack to Enable full Flash for Any Website

So if there is a site that you like, but flash doesn't work, because Microsoft hasn't deemed it worthy enough yet, here's a way to manually enable Flash...

    Thread Benchmarks after Jelly Bean

    Ran RL Benchmark and Androbench - Is it just me or do these numbers not make a lot of sense? They seem downright horrific or am I misinterpreting? It would seem that there is virtually no significant improvement in performance with Jellybean as far as I can see. At least on these tests. For...

    Thread Headphone Jack Position - Really Good

    Has anyone tried to watch a movie with wired headphones. You're in for a wonderful surprise. ASUS has greatly improved the headphone jack location. It is now at the bottom of the left side so now it no longer dangles when its in the dock. I know this might be considered a small thing to some...

    Thread Engadget Review-Air Pockets Under Screen?

    This is an odd claim by an Engadget reviewer: "We did find one flaw with the display: it's bonded in such a way that if you press down on the screen you'll see air pockets form beneath your fingers. This isn't the first time we've seen this on a tablet, but it's also not the sort of thing we'd...

    Thread What Audio DAC is used in the TF300?

    Thread MKV to Mp4 for XOOM WITHOUT Converting Video

    Under Honeycomb 3.1, playback of some high profile h264 files is now possible. This means it is now possible to convert many high profile MKV files to a format the XOOM will play WITHOUT the time consuming process of re-encoding the video. So for those who hate re-encoding, here is how...

I don't quite understand this, as it would seem that if the Tegra 2 can handle high profile video perfectly, which it can now apparently under 3.1, and flawlessly at that, then why does the simple inclusion of an audio track...

    Watching a movie that is h264 encoded while listening with bluetooth headphones causes a noticeable decrease in video quality.
