Puppies tend to go to the bathroom — a LOT, and there's nothing you can do about it. Get some puppy pads and put them on the floor (you may have to cover most of the floor with them, if he has the run of the bedroom). When he goes on the pad, reward him with praise/treats/attention/toys or whatever works. This will

While what you say is 1000% correct, most guys will just hit the water. Aiming doesn't really enter into it, as long as the water is hit (and, for the really drunk, all bets are off). Of course, you can improve your chances if you have an in-your-face sign that says, "Aim for the side!", but that will, well, only

It's unclear if the new limited-edition calculators will have keyboards as good as the old ones; the keyboards on HP's recent calculators have left much to be desired. Still, I'm probably going to be suckered into getting a 15c when it's released.

Skype makes it news. SIP-based ATAs like the pap2t have been around for a while, but this is the first Skype one (IIRC, there might have been something like this years ago, but, if so, something like this hasn't existed for years).

Thanks, but are they any good? I looked at them at while back, but wasn't impressed by their website. For example, I couldn't find any pricing details, like how much extra mail storage costs, or any information as to whether or not email aliases are allowed (and costs, if any). I can find this information on their

Can anyone recommend a good MS Exchange hosting service? I'm trying to wean myself from Google, and I need something that supports push on the iPhone, as well as a personal domain. I wish I could use iCloud, but it doesn't support domains. I've heard that 123together.com and exchangemymail.com are decent; anyone

Wunderground has a Wundermap for the iPad (not available for the iPhone, unfortunately). While it doesn't have hurricane tracking (no predicted paths), the satellite map and severe weather overlays are pretty cool. It's free, so check it out. Link: [itunes.apple.com]

Likely mushy stylus solution (won't help with the pressure-sensitive issues, though): [www.kickstarter.com]

The handwriting recognition (and maybe the social sharing) appears to be its one and only claim to fame. I think it's the only note-taking app that has it.

Yes, the iPhone can work with the free version of Zimbra, via POP3/IMAP/SMTP. The problem is that push doesn't — not without buying the non-free Zimbra. The reason? Mind-bogglingly, the iPhone doesn't support IMAP IDLE. Sad, but true. Hence, my search for an exchange-based service. I'm currently thinking about

AFAIK, Zimbra doesn't work with the iPhone (exchange/push email/contacts/calendars) without paying for the expensive non-free version. I'd love to be wrong, though.

The iPad version sorely needs pen/finger input, much like the "new ink note" in the windows version of evernote. On the iPad, there are better note-taking apps because of this.

lol, csb

This is really an Android vs iOS fight. It should be separated into the best Android recovery app and the best iOS recovery app. (Well, there may not be much point into having a best iOS recovery app poll, and so this should, perhaps, be really a "best Android recovery app" poll.)

I'm not voting, as a lost phone is an (admittedly expensive) way of upgrading to a better phone. :) With Apple's and Google's cloud storage, little to no data should be lost, and a keypad lock should keep it secure (on the lost phone).

As everyone else says: Yes, go back to your optometrist and have them readjust your glasses. Properly-fitting glasses should never hurt.

BofA's offering allows you to specify the expiration date (up to a year, IIRC). You can also view active numbers, and even close them.

Yup, there's no need for boiling. To make it go faster, put a lid on the pot at the very beginning, and wait until the eggs just start to bounce. Turn off the heat ASAP (or you'll have cracked eggs!) and wait 12-15 minutes (12 is enough, but you can go as long as 15, obviously :-). Once time is up, I quickly put

Heh, for those of you who use those obscure services called "SMS", "email", "twitter" or "facebook" (that no one obviously uses), there's a free service called TrackThis ( [www.usetrackthis.com] ) that'll send you package updates (complete with push, if you use the appropriate social networking client). Supposedly

Heh, we haz pizza.
