I stopped using Ubuntu and moved on to Arch a while ago. I cannot help you with the error now. But I seriously recommend you to do a fresh install. There are too many changes across the versions to be handled correctly. Even if you succeed in upgrading, you will end up with a lot of clutter. Yes, I can surely help you…

Sorry, forgot to mention! I'm on Windows. I don't care about photo manager. I just want all the photos to be in one single location where I can go and edit them.

A little bit off topic, but worth it. Currently, I have a couple of Windows Phones, Android and iOS devices. I take photos from any of them. I want the photos to be available in a folder on my computer so that I can just go there, edit the photos and publish them. There are services - Sugarsync uploads from Android,…

Lifehacker again freaks me out. I was just looking for my first router and here we are! I'll be watching this. Till then, I vote for my neighbor's router - whatever he might be using.

I know user scenarios which demand for higher processing power and advanced multitasking. However, my point is, raw power isn't everything. OS needs to be able to manage it properly. Android doesn't - or rather I'd say, app developers don't use it effectively - and that's why it lags with your two cores. However, if I…

Although it might seem depressing that current devices won't be upgraded, I guess its fine. For one, WP8 seems to be bringing drastic changes to the OS which demand for redesigned hardware. Secondly, don't iOS and Android do the same thing? Cut the support for old phones and devices. Nothing new here.

Social skills: Agreed about the twitter integration and stuff. 4th & Mayor is excellent for foursquare. And yes, official twitter and Facebook apps are crap. But its not Microsoft's fault.

Umm... don't get me wrong, but what do you plan to do with multicore support? Other than the fact that you'd be able to tell your friends about how many cores your phone sports, I see no practical advantage as a user. As a developer, it would be nice for me to have more cores to run my code, but as long as I am…

I wasn't gonna comment but then I saw the author's name! Jesus, really? He is the one who is always criticized for being an Apple fanboy, and he wrote this! Man, you just earned respect for being honest.

My bad, might have skipped it. Still, it should respect the user's preferences and ask user on launch if its to be set as default browser - just like rest of the browsers do!

There's still one thing I don't particularly like about Opera! Pin yourself to taskbar, create desktop icon and set yourself as default browser. Why bother asking me, you own the computer! C'mon, don't be insane.

You make me look like I was worried without reason! This is great.

Not a bad thing still! You see, we can do with high enough dpi - specifically retina is not needed. And you showed me some hope for Windows. I was blown away by the new MacBook line.

Additionally, great thing about third party services is that they can be cross platform. I own devices of all sorts and we all know that Apple's 'exclusive' services (which are just Apple's copied version of existing services: Dropbox-iCloud, Pocket-Safari, Notification Center, etc.) are never going to be on other…

Usually, I prefer to go with Microsoft and yes, their operating systems are simply shining these days. But I'm feeling bad for the hardware. You see, I own an XPS which is considered one of the top laptops. It came with 1366*768 which is nowhere near retina. Heck, I could do very well without retina display, but here…

In addition to what Nibblonian said, there's Waze which even has this crowd thing just like the new maps!

Anyway, iOS 5 was launched by Mr. Jobs himself last year and this launch was before that of 4S hardware.

Well, it will really depend on ROM you use and all, but if possible, why not make a lock screen wallpaper with your contact info on it? It will server the purpose for free! No need to spend money and phone's resources. Its not like you constantly keep changing your contact info that you'll have to edit wallpaper each…

Where do you get iAPCracker? I thought they did shut the repos down! Is it still around, hurting developers?

There you go! A nice one. But no one else does the tablet right except Apple. Trust me, I like to avoid the fruit whenever possible (big fan of MS) but for tablets, currently iPad is the iPad!
