Does anyone have an LG smartphone? I need to get a new phone, and they recently released the V10. The woman at Verizon was guiding me toward the Samsung Galaxy S6. I prefer the size of the S6, but I loved my old LG flip-phones and, playing around with the V10, I liked the interface a lot. I know my way around a Samsung (have an S2 from work), but I don't want to get it just because the learning curve will be shorter. Ack - it's such a big commitment! I have an S6 Edge and I love the darn thing.

We are running a pilot with S6's right now, and everyone loves them so far. I have a Note 5 and I like everything but the size.

I went with the V10, and I'm already regretting it. I like a lot of stuff about it, but the battery's a piece of shit. I was told that it should have more battery life than the Samsung, which is part of why I chose it. That damn thing is draining at a rapid pace when I'm not even doing anything on it. It went from 100% charged to 60% in less than 2 1/2 hours, and I'd only spent maybe 5 minutes looking at email and hadn't sent any messages or surfed the web or anything. I live near the store, so I went this morning and they tried to adjust some things and told me to give it another 24-48 hours. I don't know if it's a bad battery or just a shitty phone. Ugh! I'm expecting a call later, and I dread discovering how fast the battery's going to drain when I'm actually using the thing. Luckily, they said yesterday when I bought it that I'll be able to return it and switch to something different if I hate it, thanks to the holiday return policy.
Edited: I take back every mean thing I said about the phone. I searched online about the battery and found a forum in which someone said he let the battery die completely before recharging and then did that a second time, and the battery worked well after that. I was considering trying that when I did it accidentally. I was baking cookies and when I looked at the phone, the battery was at 2%. I turned it off and recharged it overnight. Today, it's been on for 4 hours and is still at 95%! I feel like I should go tell the Verizon store, so they can let people know about it.

Do it! And I recommend going in to chat so you can be helpfully overheard by other baffled customers.

Can anyone recommend a GPS watch that is accurate and not a million dollars? My app drains my phone's life on longer runs, and my Nike+ feature on my iPod can't do basic cartography.

Garmin makes some decent GPS watches, the Forerunner series is moderately priced and sometimes they're on sale on Amazon. The tracking is a little hinky from time to time but not majorly. I have a Forerunner 15 now, I had the Forerunner 10 before. Unfortunately in my experience the only GPS watches that are consistently accurate are the really expensive ones, so I've had to adjust my expectations accordingly.

Thanks, roisin! I did some comparison shopping and found a really good deal on a Timex Ironman with GPS from Jack Rabbit sports, but the Forerunner 10 in Orange or the 15 would be good, although I like the TomTom interface the best. The reviews are so hard to decipher sometimes.

Downloaded Windows 10 and now my computer won't work. It installed okay, but it's time to login, I'm stuck at the greetings page. I can't deal with this. Does anyone know how to access the boot menu so I can uninstall this monstrosity?

Any of you lovelies use VPN? Is it worth the monthly subscription? I'm really only interested in ITV and BBC stuff, but I heard I could log into Netflix and get shows that haven't been licensed in the US.
Thanks!!

Shame on me for asking so late.
My computer has not been able to update for a long time. The DVD RW drive does not work either & I have no clue if the two things are related.
