I use them as well. I also found another handy use for them. Since I have a black car, after I wash and wax it, it looks great, but the day after it's covered with dust from the static of polishing. If it rains, this dust makes the car look like crap. I find that If I swiffer it after the first day, dust doesn't…

In my opinion, the future of open computing is important; giving money to Apple is offensive.

The longest lasting, least trouble UPS for me is the CyberPower I have, although a slightly different model than the one here. No more APC UPSs for me even though I can buy them locally. I'll pay shipping if I have to, but future UPSs will be CyberPower.

I'm a big fan of Jamendo.com. I discovered a lot of artists I still listen to, including local-ish artists "Brad Sucks" and Jamie Rumley. Free downloads, streaming, and an available app.

Cable adapters are great, but know what's better? Standard connectors.

I love the attitude. I'm buying it myself just because of it. Thanks for keeping up the awesome reputation of XDA-Developers!

There's almost nothing you can do with an iPhone that you can't do with an Android phone. The converse is not true.

You can get almost all of that with a pebble. Missing heart rate, and compass (in the watch) I think, and wireless charging. Beyond that I think it's got you covered. I absolutely love mine.

I get the remind button for some things, but so far I haven't had it actually remind me of anything. It's too bad, it's a great idea. Having that and Google Wallet work here in Canada would be more important to be that Google Voice and Music even.

It doesn't seem to work properly for those of us in Canada. You can ask it to remind you, but it doesn't. I've tested it so far with Castle and Big Bang Theory. Perhaps it only works for hockey games here.

I use my Nexus 7 for a few tasks at work. Reading through all the comments here is quite interesting ... people kept saying "people don't want tablets, they want iPads", but the majority of work devices mentioned here seem to be Android. A good number of people with iPads seem to have them jailbroken, or want to…

"Zippo" type lighter fluid makes the stuff just dissolve. It's quite amazing.

You can generally see the content of a link by long-pressing it. This doesn't work for shortened URLs, but many shorteners allow you to change settings to preview the target URL.

Some Linux OSes like Ubuntu have a "Guest Account" login, where you can allow someone limited access to your computer. Very easy to use, very secure, and very solid.

Something that's cross-platform also has a huge advantage. FaceTime, even though it's based on open-source code and Apple promised it would be made an open standard, is still locked to Apple devices, meaning it's useless for the vast majority of people.

... or two.

Because of some of these choices (iOS and soon Windows as well) people should be starting to miss being 'allowed' to install any software they want. We're heading for a future where you're likely not going to have that option readily available. After seeing what Microsoft et al have done with people's privacy I think…

Instead of this, why not use K9, which supports proper key based authentication plug-ins. Your same keys can be used for non-mobile clients as well, such as Thunderbird. I believe K9 is also open-source.

"Sent from my iPhone" is the modern equivalent of a VCR flashing 12:00.

Google has had those features for many, many years, and yes, they are handy. It will even tell you how far 1 AU is in mm.
