I used newsrob for a while, then found out via watchdog that it was prone to go on prolonged 60% cpu use binges. My battery life is bad enough as it is

@Tetsuooooooo: I love the bit about the camera.

@SparklyJesus: We live in a city full of hills. It plays hell with radio/tv reception too...

@KamWrex: Really? I definitely find myself on the phone and sometimes switching to speakerphone and checking things in a browser or in google maps. (t-mobile)

@qrius: Agreed about the chinese website streaming. I once tried to watch a baseball allstar game via that route, bad idea...

@heroineworshipper: Focusing

Ah man, that beautiful phone and motorola pollutes it with motoblur? Dammit...

@2 replies: You also might want to check your urlbar. this is LH.

@theGigaflop: I played with it and thought it was interesting, but it was just a little too different for me. I'm still used to the desktop paradigm I guess. I applaud the idea though

Man I switched to launcherpro, and it is FAST. I naturally assumed with all the extra eye candy and customizability I'd take a performance hit, but it's way faster than the motoblur home.

I'm willing to give anything a shot that might give newspapers and good journalism a boost

@evoCS: You make an excellent point, that in a sense we're now able to export online bad behavior to the real world. And it's sort of orewellian...

@OCEntertainment: Bah, that only works for people who need glasses but not badly. If I tried to remove them while making a dramatic intellectual point everything would suddenly get crazy fuzzy and I would lose eye contact. Damn

@joe.glass: Indeed!

@Donbluesboy: No worries, we figured it out. Happy new year and welcome to Lifehacker!

"Find big emails when you're gmail's almost full..."

@Aipaloovik: Thanks, I'll try that

@Maniacmous: Very much agreed. I think people have a knee-jerk reaction to regulation and assume it would stifle competition and hurt businesses, but one very simple rule like that "Don't mess with traffic" wouldn't inflict undue harm on a business and would help consumers immensely

@MavrixWK: You, sir, (or ma'am) are a scholar and a gentle-person. Thank you!

@Thad E Ginathom: Don't forget that buying once often means you're getting a higher quality product that will hold value better too.
