So, on a completely unrelated note (hence the location of this topic), this:

"NVIDIA has announced a recall of its SHIELD tablets, sold between July 2014 and July 2015. NVIDIA has determined the battery in these tablets can overheat and pose a fire hazard. As part of this recall, NVIDIA will be replacing the tablet.

NVIDIA is asking customers to submit a claim for a replacement device. NVIDIA is also asking consumers to stop using the recalled tablet, except as needed to participate in the recall and back up data. Consumers will receive a replacement tablet after registering to participate in the recall."

GUESS WHAT?!?!
I HAVE BEEN BLESSED WITH A FAULTY Y01 BATTERY!
THE LITTLE RECTANGLE SITTING BESIDE MY LEG COULD SUDDENLY BURST INTO FLAMES!
I WILL NOT HALT MY DOWNLOADS FOR ANYTHING!!!!
ANYTHING!!!!
But in all seriousness, I really do have a tablet with a bad battery. I will have to go without a tablet for half a month. Its going to suck. I'm in the middle of 5 books on the tablet. I have to wait for a new tablet all because NVIDIA chose the wrong battery type. GLORIOUS CHOICE NVIDIA. :roll:
