A. no, the Evo V 4G does NOT have NFC, which is required

no, you can't use beam with your Nexus 7, but you can still transmit via bluetooth, wifi, email, etc.

A. no not possible s-voice is only android 4.0 and above and is patched not to work on othr devices

Can you beam someone into outerspace in Star Trek?
Q. There are so many occasions when they could do that (like in TNG) but they don't. is it against some kind of ethical code to beam someone into outer space?
lol it always seems such a funny thought to me. Scenario: a Romulan ambassador refuses to compromise with Picard. Picard gets pissed and orders Geordi: beam the b**tard into space!

A. It's unethical, but it's been done a couple of times in urgent situations:

"Wolf in the Fold" (TOS) - The crew discovers a non-corporeal entity which is capable of possessing people and was responsible for the Jack the Ripper murders of 1888. In order to keep the entity from going on another rampage, the crew trap it in its current host, knock the host out with an injection, and then beam the host's body into space (wide beam, maximum dispersal) which effectively "kills" the entity. Tough break for the host, but they didn't have time to figure out a way to save him without turning the entity loose to run amuck all over the ship.

"Datalore" (TNG) - Data's "twin brother" Lore is discovered, reassembled, and proves to be hostile. They end up beaming him into space just as he's about to kill someone with a phaser. Unlike the "Ripper" host, Lore doesn't get the dispersal beaming. Since he's an android, he survives the exposure to space and floats around for a few years until he's rescued by a passing ship.

There is a long-standing Star Trek joke that the one person whose s**t list you absolutely do NOT want to wind up on is not the captain, but the transporter operator. :-)

EDIT - @Esper: Thanks, I forgot about Nomad (episode "The Changeling").


Is the iphone 5 better or the samsung galaxy s3?
Q. I am due to get a new phone but cant really decide which one to get! I have been using the android system for quite a while and seem to like it...but i would love something new. I am also doubting the size of the galaxy and wondering if the size is just too big for my small hands! ha I have also been hearing that the Galaxy works much better and has much better screen resolution...but honestly which phone would be the the better one for me to get?

A. A very hard question to answer as both of these are very solid choices, but each user will tell you a different answer. Both phones has its up and downs. Here's my take: The Samsung Galaxy S III has a larger display and Android ecosystem with addition to some cool features like S Beam, NFC, etc. The iPhone 5 has a much better build quality, smoother operation UI and a slightly better camera. If cost is a big factor, the price difference between the two is quite significant. Check out some Comparisons on Youtube to help make your decision. Can't go wrong with either choices though.
