I've been doing this for ages and find it works very well.

With Ad Block + now on Chrome, I am armed and ready....and I won't be paying to get rid of any ads.

Brilliant idea - thanks. Now, where's the best place to get an inexpensive skateboard?

@SErich: That third one is very interesting — good idea.

@bmaz: You're asking the right questions. I too have clicked on Help - Upgrade and was told I have the latest version, but clicking on "About" says that I'm using version 1.0.2498.0. And as you say, nowhere on the link provided in the posting does it say that it's version 2.

This is fantastic! Could someone out there please report whether or not this works even if you are outside the U.S?

Thank you for this. I've been waiting for this Lifehacker posting ever since Adam first Tweeted about the possibility way back when.

@digital_man: Alright, I was wrong. Voice Mail's do seem to have pop alerts, but without a transcript.

@styfle: Very true.... only I use the "Remote" App to listen & control music playing from iTunes while falling asleep. So the situation is still not perfect for me, but very tolerable.

Minor gripe #2: While it pushes through on screen alerts for text messages and missed calls, for voice mails, it only makes a sound and shows a badge.

Minor gripe: when you enable "Do Not Disturb" on Google Voice, the app still pushes through notifications to the iPhone.

My vote is TrueCrypt, but I feel a little funny about it as I have zero experience with any of the others. I've used 7-zip for compression, but never encryption.

@SherriffBacon: I'm having the same problem you are — any help out there?

Having recently re-jailbroken my phone, I had to reinstall this fix. It worked perfectly before, but I was scared when all of a sudden pushes weren't coming through.

I love Chrome, but dislike it's constant "phoning home" to Google.

VOTE: Evernote

Thanks for this.

This is a great piece of software — no question about that.

@JamesR404: I have a massive archive of emails, going back pre-Gmail. Enabling IMAP would throw that archive into chaos. POP allows me to easily download to the archive without any problems.

I upgraded to Tomato firmware on my Linksys WRT54GL which Lifehacker covered here: [lifehacker.com]
