Blogger :: Issues with transparent images & quick fix

So I was writing a new post and decided that it needed more visual appeal then just plain text. I decided that I would add a "tools" icon that had transparency at the beginning of the post in hopes it would draw more readers to read the full post. So I add the image in the Blogger Post Editor without issues and keep writing. Well imagine my surprise, when I "Previewed" the post and the background of the image was coming through. Ok, ok, it wasn't like "ZOMFGWTFBBQ NERD RAGE !!!", it was more like Mr. Horse saying "No sir, I don't like it".

Android App :: SMS Popup - Custom SMS ring tones per contact

Looking for a way to customize my SMS ringtones for specific contacts, since Android doesn't do this out of the box (apparently iOS/iPhone does), I finally found an app that does everything I need with a nice bonus. ALL FOR FREE!

Thank you SMS Popup. Search for it in the play store or hit the button below.

Thoughts...

Oh so close. Now if they can only produce a more high end tablet that others would want. That said, and as the reviews allude to or outright explain, I totally understand why they chose the hardware the way they did. They did it to keep costs down to compete with Google's Nexus 7. For me, I'm personally not looking for a "budget tablet". I want a work horse that can do it all and I'm willing to pay for it. Just not $600+. I think $350 - $450 depending on features/hardware is reasonable for a tablet.
