Well, I mean, it doesn't give you new hardware or anything.

I don't know what kind of apps you're running but I have several dozen of varying types, including a few "service-type" apps like weatherbug which regularly updates temperatures, tasker which monitors the state of a lot of things, Cloud SMS which syncs my SMS messages with my phone, and a number of others... and I get…

So, to users of this... I really want a solid, system-wide notification sync. So when I dismiss something on my tablet or phone, it will dismiss on both of them. Not "pushover" notifications - my normal phone notifications like Gmail, Gvoice, eBay, weather, etc.

Really, though, they're already exposing a force stop option which can cause applications to behave unpredictably. If this were any more user facing, you know there would be tons of people who would use it believing this to be a battery saver, when in fact they're killing their email service, or notifications for…

If your irreplaceable data is not backed up off-site, then it's not really backed up.

I'm loving this trend towards apps that sync everything between devices. Even simple things like alarms - it just makes so much sense.

I have no left over SD cards since we moved to a virtual machine infrastructure at work. They're great for installing hypervisors on - since the hypervisor runs almost exclusively out of memory, the R/W speeds don't matter, and it means you can separate out the OS from the local storage of the box (or have no local…

Credit Karma does not give you your credit score. They give you some muddled credit indicator of their own devising.

They may be rolling it out over a period of time. Go into your apps and select the green Google Settings application - do you see "Android Device Manager" at the bottom? If not, it may not be enabled on your phone yet.

You don't need an app; it's available within a web browser. You'd need to be able to log into whatever Google account is associated with the phone.

The only thing I'd give up vacations for is if I could work out some kind of semi-annual hiatus of a couple months.

Uh. Do you think the only jobs that exist on the planet are manufacturing or other tasks that can be handled by machines?

Obviously there are exceptions everywhere, but generally speaking, if there are no jobs in the area, it's probably better to move. This isn't an easy answer, but sometimes you have to examine the situation a little closer: how did you end up living in an area that has no jobs for you? Is this just an economic downturn…

Commute times are so often self-inflicted.

My hobby is photography. Consequently, the current lack of income from it is by choice and it's certainly something that could make me money.

If you have a touch screen, you can long press on the network to delete it.

I really wish we could get synchronized notifications across the board. I frequently switch between tablet/phone/laptop over the course of a day, and it'd be awesome to not have to dismiss notifications in multiple places.

I hate this line of thinking. "Why would you need privacy?"

Well, there is an element of trust, but you can add each others' accounts to your phones, and then go into the account settings and uncheck the pieces you don't want to sync.
