I like the interface of Handy Scanner better, but when printing PDFs from both apps the results from CamScanner are noticeably better.

No. My battery will not thank me. Push email is far less demanding on mobile device resources than polling. Push email is not the problem, and neither are the notifications. The problem lies in the recipient's response to push email. Some people have conditioned themselves to believe that if a message is…

My son (age 11 at the time) lost his phone prepaid while we were in a museum. The loss was discovered within 30 minutes or so, while we were still in the same building. We searched everywhere he had been since he was last known to have the phone, constantly calling it, hoping to hear it ring. After leaving our…

As I sit facing my computer with my hands over my keyboard, my hands are naturally closer together than my elbows are - my arms are NOT perpendicular to my keyboard. Turning my hands to be perpendicular to the keyboard is completely unnatural, and would seem to be an obvious cause of pain - so I don't do that, and I…

I've been using repeating tasks in Astrid as bill payment reminders for well over a year, and haven't missed a payment since. While Bills Reminder may be a good app, I think it's purpose is too narrow.

I hate to nit pick (oh wait, that's not true), but the headline is misleading. It states that this is available for any rooted phone, when in fact, a third party recovery is also required. While these often go hand in hand, it is not always the case. The article does indicate that it's required though.

The most common theme among the "things I've learned on the Internet" has to be how much stuff other people seem to not know. I suppose others could say the same about me, but hardly a day goes by where I can't add something to that list.

I was using Dialer One for quite a while before switching to aTAKEphONE. I used that until I got my Bionic, and now find that the "stock" dialer has most of the features I liked.

I still don't get why anyone uses Twitter... or Facebook. Revelations like this make it all the more puzzling.

If you can't figure out within 1 month that the service is or isn't for you, cough up the monthly fee for as long as it takes you to figure it out. If you can't afford the monthly fee, but you still find a way to pay for your internet connection, and managed to pay for a TV and DVD (or blueray player), then you…

I'm with you all the way on this.

I absolutely do not. Way back when, when Windows hit the scene, everyone in my office was using DOS, and we had a menu setup - press 1 for this, 2 for that, etc - all nicely SPELLED out on the screen. I thought "why would I want to switch so Windows" - having the decipher the meaning of a picture - when I already…

My rule of thumb is that if the first page of results doesn't include the web site for the product or manufacturer of the product, then I'm not interested.

I might pay to avoid ads, but I wouldn't pay to keep my information private because I wouldn't trust anyone to keep it private whether I paid them or not, and there's almost no way for me to verify that my information is being kept private.

Way back when, eBay would provide contact information for deadbeat bidders. They may still do that. I found that once the deadbeats are no longer anonymous they are much more willing to pay.

@zaxour: Yup. There's no way a third party would know who won the auction. Combine that with the fact that using ebay to arrange an off-ebay transaction is a violation of ebay policy, and this dead is also a dumba**.

Tried the PDF support in Chrome. How do I disable it and go back to using Acrobat?

@wygit: I get mine at the Bank of America site, where they are called "ShopSafe" numbers. I'm pretty sure that ShopSafe is a trademark, so your best bet may be to call the issuing bank.

They forgot "Angled parking, facing wrong way".

"The goal of their new messaging system is to unify the many modes of communication you already use so you don't have to jump between applications and devices to manage the different ways you and your friends like to communicate."
