That is very good. I can't stand the WP7 home screen tile nonsense (not to mention the "no customizing"), but damn, this is minimalist done right. Re: the article... I really dislike it. No offense, but it looks like the clock just threw up all over the screen.

I agree. There were also times when I worked as a waiter that the kitchen was backed up, so they would briefly stop seating to let them catch up with the wheel. That's actually good service, because when people sit down, they expect to get their food in a certain amount of time. Better to keep them waiting for a…

"maybe my OG Droid and lame set-up is the problem—but I've always had to swipe the lock screen to answer a call and/or get to a dialer screen"

And what happens if you don't realize that your phone's missing for a while (like if it was ganked from your bag) or you can't get to a computer to activate Lookout? The thief, unimpeded by any basic security level such as the lock screen, can access all the data on your phone in that time. Not a good thing if you…

Reset IE? [support.microsoft.com]

70% chance of broadcast storm?

What Я Ξ √ Ω ℒ Ⓤ Ṯ ↑ ☼ א $ said. I'm not sure how it is currently, but I originally switched to Keepass (then LastPass) because Firefox stored my saved passwords unencrypted.

No alt-tab required, plus it's on Chrome, IE, Safari and Firefox. Even if…

Do I smell a cloud contact management Hive Five?

Yeah, sounds like out of the box to me. Are certain planetary alignments required, like it doesn't work if Saturn is in the 2nd house? ;)

The only thing I can think of is that he doesn't want to sign in to the Android Market on the computer, which the Install link requires. But yeah, QR codes are somewhat pointless with the new Market.

Red Dead Redemption — GTA in the Wild West, plus you can choose to be a good guy

How about this one?

This is a good article on proper use of a task killer:

I think iOS mostly gets around this by limiting 3rd-party multitasking. I've found that a lot of Android's big battery issues were due to apps keeping a partial wake lock and chewing on my CPU (and with it, my battery) while the phone should have been asleep. Android gives you freedom, but with it comes the freedom…

It's in the comment:

Why not just disable the Recycle Bin then? It's the same in XP/7.

Just... awesome. Reminds me of [theoatmeal.com]

It's nice to know at-a-glance, but what ever happened to people knocking so you don't have to lock the door for fear of turd-burglars?
