It’s still sunny and warm here in Chicago, but Winter is only a few months off if you can believe it. If you live somewhere that it snows occasionally, but don’t want to spend money on a snowblower for fear that it won’t actually snow this season? We’ll thanks to Toro, you can buy with confidence this Fall.

The lawn and garden tool maker is offering a special guarantee this year. If you buy a Toro snowblower between now and November 15, 2013 – and it snows less than 10 percent of your area’s average snowfall between October 1, 2013 and April 30, 2014 – you’ll get your money back. Plus, you still get to keep the snowblower. Should it snow less than 50 percent of your area’s average, you’ll get a 10 percent refund of the purchase price. Not a bad deal, I say.

Head on over to Toro’s S’No Risk website for more details, and to look up the historical snowfall averages for your zipcode and to register your snowblower.

Updated Verizon Galaxy Nexus Jelly Bean binaries added to AOSP

Updated Verizon Galaxy Nexus Jelly Bean binaries added to AOSP

CDMA variants are, invariably, the redheaded stepchildren of the Nexus line. That is to say, those units nearly always trail behind their GSM counterparts where updates and official support are concerned. But it appears Google's picking up the pace, having just released the latest Android 4.1.1 Jelly Bean (JRO03H) binaries for Verizon-branded handsets three weeks after welcoming Toro devices back into AOSP. What does this mean for the average user? Not much, since there's no real way to gauge whether or not this signals an imminent carrier-sanctioned OTA rollout, although it does bode well for those prospects. But for rooted users, the new addition is a boon, as it should pave the way for devs to cook up even more stable ROMs for your flashing enjoyment. So, that's the good news. The bad? Well, if you're on the Sprint side of the LTE Nexus divide, your handset's still not invited back to the party -- indefinitely.
