Nexus Two, Take One

MOUNTAIN VIEW, CA - JANUARY 5:  A screen shot ...Image by Getty Images via @daylifeGoogle doing Nexus One early this year - or was it late last year - was a big departure for the software giant.

Other than that the Nexus Two would have the newest version of Android, what would be the rest of the features? Will it just have the best of the best phones now? What additional features could there be?

It is not like the iPhone is sitting around. The talk that the iPhone will distance itself a little bit more - at least in Europe - from the carriers is not an innovation in the technology department. That is sheer guts. That is more politics and policy. That is more in the fuck you department.

Maybe Google should get more unapologetically into the phone hardware business. Obviously it feels like the other Android phone people are not delivering it. So why not do it yourself?

"For women, the biggest problem is going to be desire" .... Men, on the other hand, tend to experience problems with the plumbing: premature ejaculation in young men and erectile dysfunction in older men. .... the stew of physical, psychological and cultural factors that make up desire ..... "Women might be having sex for a dozen different reasons, only one of which might be that it feels good and is satisfying," Derogatis told LiveScience. "It's a path to intimacy, it's a path to fulfilling a role of the woman or wife, it's a means to keeping her partner happy, and on and on. .... It may be that women who are anxious about their relationship are so relieved to have intimacy, they ignore problems in bed, Stephenson said. The women who are secure, on the other hand, might put a higher priority on sex.
