Musings on the GALAXY Nexus

http://www.themanly-man.com/2011/10/galaxy-nexus/

So Samsung and Google just announced the Galaxy Nexus and below are my thoughts on the device which will ship with Android 4.0 or “Iced Cream Sandwich” if you will. Let me be the first to say that I liked the code name “Nexus Prime” much better than Galaxy Nexus. I suppose Samsung had to get some branding recognition since Google seems to be using them as the handset maker of choice for their pur-bread Android experience.

That said, there are a few things that I’m excited about:

Dubbed as the spiritual love child of Sade and D’Angelo by Rolling Stone, Goapele has a voice that is unmistakable. With a highly anticipated album set to give us eargasms galore, Goapele talks Break Of Dawn, Natural Hair & Mommyhood with WiseCurls. Enjoy!

WC: 10/24. Break Of Dawn. What was the concept behind the album and what makes this album different from previous albums?

G: The concept for this album was to put out good soulful music to share where I am now and give people something that they can feel.

Grandmother Says Her Missing Child Being Ignored Because She’s Black

Your Black World reports.

A grandmother in Arizona says that the reason her grandchild hasn’t gotten attention for her disappearance is because she is African American.  The girl has been missing for a week, and she has been begging the media to cover her child’s disappearance.  Jahessye Shockley was last seen on October 11 and disappeared while her mother was out running an errand.

Police believe that the girl left the house through the front door, but have no suspects in her disappearance.  They’ve utilized more than 100 officers for the search and checked a 3-mile radius around the girl’s house.  This has produced almost nothing.

Shirley Johnson, the girl’s grandmother, went to the state capitol this week to bring attention to her grand child’s disappearance.
