How do you all know what you got before Christmas, doesn't that spoil all the fun? Plus, from a lot of posts I read it sounds like some of you need to be reminded that Christmas is for GIVING, not recieving. Remember that? I don't know what I got other than a bunch of clothes from Old Navy because I was there when my mom got it. I think originally we were just going to buy some clothes, but since it was just a week ago we decided that she could go ahead and put it in a bag and say it was for Christmas :).

I know I wont be getting the only thing I really did want, a mod chip for my xbox, but that's just because no one knows where to get one, I'll end up getting one of those myself soon. That was fine. Other than that, I spent money I do not yet have to buy my parents and brother gifts, and will have to pay my little brother back (rich ****** :p) once I get Christmas money.

My biggest gift is just being able to be home and see my family and old HS friends and having a break from school ;)

I wear the hugo by hugo moss myself : )

Am i the only one that actually wanted socks? I never really ask for anything or want anything from family and friends. If its something i wanted i would have bought it already. That said, I love giving gifts though. Nothing like the thrill of finding a well suited gift for someone, something you've put a lot of thought into : )

My family repetedly called me about something i wanted so i gave them the name of a dvd i was about to buy (ATHF volume 3) .

    • Samsung Galaxy XR arrives in the UK with new AI and enterprise features

      By Fiza Ali · Posted

      Samsung Galaxy XR arrives in the UK with new AI and enterprise features by Fiza Ali Samsung is bringing its Galaxy XR headset to the UK several months after the device made its debut as the first headset built on Google's Android XR platform. The headset was first teased in late 2024 alongside Google's introduction of Android XR before making its commercial debut in 2025. Developed in collaboration with Google and Qualcomm, Galaxy XR combines mixed reality experiences with Gemini-powered AI features, allowing users to interact with digital content using voice, gestures, and visual inputs. While the hardware itself remains largely unchanged from the version Samsung unveiled last year, the company is using the UK launch to spotlight several software enhancements that have arrived through recent updates. Among the most notable additions is deeper integration with Google's ecosystem. Galaxy XR users can explore destinations through Google Maps' Immersive View, receiving AI-powered recommendations and contextual information from Gemini while navigating virtual environments. Furthermore, entertainment experiences have also expanded; users can watch 180-degree and 360-degree videos on YouTube, browse spatial content converted into 3D, and ask Gemini questions about on-screen content without interrupting playback. Samsung is also highlighting mixed-reality features such as Circle to Search, which allows users to identify real-world objects through hand gestures while using the headset's video pass-through mode. Another feature automatically converts photos and videos into spatial 3D experiences. Moreover, the headset now also supports Android Enterprise, allowing organisations to manage deployments using existing Android management tools. Annika Bizon, Vice President, Product and Marketing, Mobile Experience, Samsung UK & Ireland, talked about the device, stating: The headset is powered by Qualcomm's Snapdragon XR2+ Gen 2 platform and features dual 4K Micro-OLED displays. The tech giant says that users can expect up to 2.5 hours of battery life. Samsung also confirmed that Galaxy XR will continue receiving software and security updates as the company works alongside Google and Qualcomm to expand the Android XR ecosystem. Galaxy XR is now available for pre-order and will go on sale on 8 July. Customers interested in trying the headset before launch can visit Samsung KX in London and selected Samsung Experience Stores from 17 June. Finally, the company will also host a livestream on 19 June showcasing the headset's capabilities and answering questions from prospective customers.
