This makes sense, but I'd say you should make exceptions for places that you naturally think of in a different orientation. For example, I always think of the college near me with west up, not north. Trying to put north up would confuse me more than facing west and thinking of the campus map in that orientation. Maybe…

Close your browser, then reopen it and try again. If it works like my test with Chrome just now, a new browser session will not keep the toggle setting you previously selected. It does look like changing the default behavior requires the actions mentioned in this post.

Double-post, sorry. Mods, feel free to delete this one (I don't see a delete option).

I think this article at the Art Of Manliness site about developing a strong voice might be of interest to readers of this article: [artofmanliness.com] . It talks about the deeper voice, but focuses more on how to make the most of your natural pitch/voice.

There was one other Namecheap coupon mentioned on Twitter earlier today — BYEBYEGD (see [twitter.com]). I'm not sure exactly what it offers, or if it will still work; all later tweets have promoted the SOPAsucks coupon. I thought it was worth mentioning though.

For Android, it might be worth checking out avast! Mobile Security ([market.android.com]), which recently left beta and became a full release. It's free, includes an anti-theft component, and I've read elsewhere that this could be a contender for the best anti-virus/security Android app. It sounds pretty good,…

I only tried it on one call (me to myself), so I don't know how slow it really is. It would take some amount of time to do a look-up though, so I'm not surprised that it's not instantaneous. It doesn't really push you into using YouMail, but it does give you an account. As @TomRiddle and @entropiclarva noted in…

This looks interesting for identifying unknown numbers, so I'll give it a try for a while and see how it works out. Things that seem worth noting though — as soon as I installed and started testing the app, I got a text message saying "YouMail signup complete!" with a PIN, and was apparently opted in to receive text…

I have that, too, but mostly for blocking spam numbers. I think the Caller ID feature it provides requires that you either pay for it or share your contacts' info with them.

Is there any particular reason ThinkFree Office ([www.thinkfree.com] ) was omitted as an alternative? This came pre-installed on my device, so someone clearly thought it was good enough to work as an office solution. I almost never use it though — I just don't have much need to do office suite work on my phone. But…

When I was skimming the XDA thread to find out if this works with an odexed ROM, like rooted stock (still don't know), I think others posted about the same problem. If you search the full thread — it starts at [forum.xda-developers.com] — I think you can find a solution. I don't remember it off hand or exactly where…

Does anyone know if the removal via the pro license will work correctly on odex/odexed ROMs, like rooted stock? In the past, all the CIQ removal things I've seen required a deodexed ROM. I'm wondering if this is the same or not. If anyone can clarify, I'd appreciate it (I can't post to the XDA thread to ask there).…

Same here. If it's free, why do they need a form of payment on file? We're not being charged for it. I can live with that if they'd take a virtual card number, because I can set limits on them (to make sure I don't spend too much, and they can't charge me too much). Amazon does, Google doesn't, and that's…

I just took a look at this and found out two things: (1) it looks like they now require you to have some form of payment on file in Google Checkout/Wallet to get even the free songs, which I'm pretty sure they didn't before, and (2) Checkout/Wallet apparently refuses to accept virtual credit card numbers, because it…

Does something like the MyPageKeeper Facebook app help stop this, or does this particular thing work differently?

Thanks for the suggestion. While looking elsewhere on the web about this, I came across some other scripts that do similar things. I like [www.userscripts.org] — it may not do much to most of the page, but it does reduce the spacing in the list of article titles, which is the main thing I wanted.

I completely agree with regression's comment — yet again, there's too much whitespace. Why does Google insist on putting less information on their pages with this redesign by padding things out with so much vertical whitespace? I want to see more information, not less. *sigh* Looks like there's no simple way…

True, but you can always turn on GPS and/or WiFi location capabilities when you need them. That's what I do. Also, regarding weather widgets, how well they work depends on the settings they permit and you use. If you have them track your current location, then you're right, they won't work properly without location…

Am I correct in assuming that, as with past Swype articles I remember, this is not applicable if you already have Swype pre-installed on your phone? That beta is at vesion 3.26, while the one on my phone is only 2.11 — it would be nice to get newer versions, but I thought there was some conflict with installing the…
