You weirdest/funniest redirections in the WWW (and other Side Storys out there) - Off-topic

I would like to dedicate this Thread to Internet Surfing Storys. Got this idea, when I funnily was redirected by Google to a site called slimbean.net when I wanted to read the changelog of Silmbean Roms.
So feel free to tell your journeys, which you made through the World Wide Web (Deep/ Hidden Web too xD )

Sharing a direct screen recording option for nexus 7

So i found a way to record the screen without pointing a camera at it if you are interested in that. I made a video on youtube. I think my title sucks or no one on youtube cares but here's the video. Because I can't post links yet i have to give you a title to my video to search for.
Record your nexus 7 display(No camera)
For some reason it's important to me for others to know this. I guess that's why i made a tutorial. Lol.
Thanks. I hope this helps. =)

Yep. When I first saw this thread I thought it referred to getting a screen capture or screen shot. What you are actually referring to is completely different from that.

I've had my n7 about 5 days and the other night I was very very drunk, flashed smoothrom, too drunk to remember to clear cache and dalvik, got a boot animation freeze, went back, remembered to clear caches, and got it all working. That was after drinking a whole bottle of vodka myself. Bad idea doing things like that at times like that

Lmao. Yeah I was thinking they were gonna think I was referring to pointing a camera at the screen for some odd reason but sometimes I think too hard. Not sure why. I think I was also trying to keep the title short.
So while the mirroring potential is awesome, I have to ask, what's the advantage of this over just screen recording directly on the N7?

Are you talking about using screencast to record the Nexus 7. Because screencast doesn't work on the N7.

Yeah. I saw it. Did a forum search using the keywords official, support, CM, and Atrix HD. That post didn't show up. If it did wouldn't have posted. My point towards Echo is to not to assume and to be a bit more friendlier. This is after all a community to help others and to spread information. Bad will towards other would have not be tolerated in the forums I modded and administrated on. The mods can deleted this thread since it doesn't serve any purpose since the information was already posted. I hate useless posts. That's why I only post when I have something to say. Thank you for pointed out the post.

@Matt
The point of the search is so you don't have to scroll to find what you're looking for. Unfortunately it isn't perfect and will not always find what you are looking for.
We could probably discuss this all day, but what would be the point. It happened. Let's all just move on.

Thank you for sharing this information. Honestly we do care and are very greatful for it, its just we needed that little bit more info on the source, as you may have seen its very easy for people to just claim they know things and post them publically and with tensions running so high as we are very happy about the device I feel many of us jumped to conclusions.

My suggestion, dont use safe terms like:
"I work for a big media company"
"I cant go into names"
"If people don't like it i would suggest don't reply"
It sounds very fishy and not very convincing
FYI, there are haters everywhere
