There's a good chance the iPhone 5 won't be released till the fall. In that case, I think it makes perfect sense if you're contract is up, and your old phone is a dumb phone or a brick, and you don't want to wait till fall to get a good phone.

Not exactly a battery meter, but I've been using Juice Defender recently in its default settings, and I've been noticing quite a bit of a battery life improvement on my Thunderbolt. I think the app simply syncs everything every so often, and then kills all data connection, waking up the data again after a stipulated…

"The White House recently released an app for Android (to please both platforms!)"

I was thinking the same thing! Oh, and that episode is, hands down, my favorite episode. The scene with Lois choking. And black Jesus...

Awesome, awesome video.

Yeah, there are waay too many cops in downtown PA on Friday/Saturday evening, I do all I can to avoid driving... Do you still work in the area?

Chrome with adblock does the same. Not only does it remove ads, but it collapses the region where the ad was supposed to be. Thus, you never know there was an ad there in the first place

lol, I moved to the corner of University Ave and Middlefield a few months ago, so I definitely know which one you're talking about.

Yup. When Apple was dying in the 2000s, they bought a large chunk of non-voting shares to keep them afloat. The logic was with Apple dead, Microsoft would face anti-trust and get broken up.

Yeah. Take that.

Attached is a real watch.

how do I heart this in the new layout?

This guy's math seems to be off. Increasing speed by 20% and then decreasing it by 20% will lead to a slower clock! (0.8*1.2 is not 1!)
