For a brief moment I thought that I might go a little DIY with fixing my nexus 4 screen.  I did find the parts on Amazon for around $30 (relatively cheap I think), however after viewing this instructional video I thought twice about it.  It takes a professional 2 hours to do this, it will most likely take me more (if I don't ragequit ;-) ). The video lost me at using a hear gun to remove

It's been a couple of weeks now since my Nexus 4 sort of died.  It took a tumble from my bike and hit the pavement in such a way that the touch screen no longer responds to input.  The rest of the phone seems to work fine, but without an ability to do input it's not all that useful.  So, I pulled out the old Motorola v3xx phone (aka razr 3G) from the drawer, powered it up, and

Back  when I was a teenager I was reading about this collaboration in the gaming magazines of the time (the few that I could afford to buy from the UK when I was living in Greece) and I could only imagine!
