@ironghost: And you don't think all the other sites you visit aren't tracking your browsing habits?

I use Chrome. I've found that I do NOT need NoScript or AdBlock. I also don't use torrent sites. And, I've yet to pick up any virus or malware. If I run into a site with obnoxious ads or scripts, I simply don't return. To me, that's considerably more effective than addons.

@codykniffen: Going to bet Gina knew at the same time as, or before, LH. ;)

I got both Launcher Pro and ADW the day I got my X, and LauncherPro easily won out. It's very comfortable now, so I can't imagine changing. Although I think I'm now convinced to pony up the $3 for the premium version.

@Matt: An alternative to Cardex is Key Ring—does the same thing. (Just providing another option.)

@crichton007: The first or second update to TweetDeck beta allowed you to change the update frequency. The original version was checking Twitter almost continuously, which of course killed the battery. It's MUCH better now!

@mrchnd: I have Vignette, and it will stitch up to 6 photos seamlessly. I love it!

I'm not exactly a Microsoft fanboy (my computers are Apples, for one thing), but "...could check out some free solutions that work even better" is sheer puffery, and completely incorrect.

@davidr521: Keep in mind that check scanning is a rather recent development. And printers that scan/copy are more ubiquitous than smartphones.

@nowdevidebyzero: That's not exactly correct. I've been a USAA member for almost 40 years. I've been doing all my banking at USAA (in Texas; I've never lived in Texas) since 1982.

Or you could switch to a provider that actually...you know...provides service in your area!

Never mind; needed to read further.

I have a Droid X, but at the moment, I see absolutely NO need to root it.

@Gotlactose: You guessed correctly, although you should keep in mind, they're loaning you money at that high APR for two reasons: one, you don't have a long credit history; two, you aren't securing the debt with tangible assets.

@se7a7n7: This is going to sound harsher than it is intended.

@headclone: Ditto, hence my vote. (Well, I don't have it on my PC; I have it installed in a Win7 VM on my iMac and MacBook Pro. It's not on my iPod Touch. Yet.)

VOTE: Evernote

Since no distinction was made, are we to assume that all the suggestions are available for both Windows and OS X? What about iPhone, Android, and other mobile platforms? Come on, LH: This isn't a Windows world anymore!

This works well as a bookmark, but an Android app would hopefully be easier.

never mind
