nexus 7

The Nexus 7 is a fantastic tablet — for the price. To me and many others its only downside is lack of built-in wireless data connectivity. It can only connect to the internet’s tubes through WiFi.

Google apparently agrees. I won’t spoil the cute commercial but let’s just say the dad isn’t using a WiFi hotspot to entertain his son.

With WiFi hotspots, phone apps, and USB modems, there are a ton of ways to feed a tablet or computer wireless data while on the go. But none are as seamless or efficient as a built-in solution. Requiring another device adds another potential point of failure.

Still, even though the Nexus 7 is only WiFi-only, it’s still an amazing tablet that’s totally worth its price. But I wouldn’t buy it. I’m spoiled by a Verizon iPad and, before it, a first-gen Xoom. I simply cannot imagine owning a tablet that requires another device to connect it to the internet. I mean, I really don’t want to bring my phone along on a camping trip, but a tablet is a must-have to keep the kids entertained. What else are they going to do camping? Get dirty and have fun? Pssh. It’s Kingdom Rush time!

scala - 'wrong top statement declaration' when using slick in IntelliJ -

Image
i'm porting project scala 2.9 2.10, therefore have use slick instead of scalaquery. i'm using slick 2.1.0 since supports ms access. according this tutorial , upgrade guide changed robs object class , added val robs : why error message wrong top statement declaration , how rid of it? edit: i'm new scala... according this question seems can't put val outside of methods or classes, right? code above directly in packge. right approach slick then? should move code in class or trait? according this changed val robs = tablequery[robs] to object robs extends tablequery(new robs(_)) {} . no warnings or errors anymore. :)
