gojirelsa, Android Device Manager doesn't see my phone. It's a HTC EVO running 4.0.3, so yes, this is better for ADM.

I'm surprised FileMaker hasn't hit them with a C&D letter. Bento is their lower tier database product for MacOS. I hope the rebranding isn't to painful when they get slapped.

Given the huge pain that Matt Kraus, author of Social Fixer, has just undergone, I'm kinda surprised that the authors of ABP would risk litigation with Facebook. Matt was able to negotiate keeping most of the features of SFX so that FB still isn't as annoying as the unfiltered site but now ABP is jumping into the…

I reviewed a local LAMPS-R-US shop which gave bad service to my mom. After 4 months, the $60 lamp she bought just broke. Cheap phenolic parts and it wasn't worth buying a kit to repair it at Home Depot nor would the store fix it ("we don't have a repair department"—I wonder why?) or swap it out for something else…

This is also AmTestKit's way to make great french fries. They also dunk the chicken in corn starch (and the french fries) to make the buttermilk coating stick to the chicken.

I suppose posting a picture of this guy with a bullseye on his head and a Hitler mustache would be over the top.

I closed an account because the company was very hard to work with. They wouldn't do anything over the Internet accept allow you to look at your balance or pay it. Any complaints or account issues required calling their 800# and waiting or writing the Corporate offices. After struggling to get a charge removed from…

Two of my friends from prior jobs, whom I did not directly work for, but did work with me, did agree to be references about my old, stale skills and both are very clear I could pick up most anything and learn it very quickly. They're willing to say so if asked.

I think the site just got the equivalent of being /.-ed. The web server isn't responding.

NOT free. You give them your email address and have to tweet or post to Facebook about it. That's hostageware.

RealMac has gotten to be a greedy little bitch.

I'm a sucker for the quadrille lined Mead Composition book. I used them for work and now when I write. It's an affectation that harkens back to my days in the lab.

The thing I liked about the public wallpapers in previous Wallpaper Wednesdays is that I could download them and try them out. Specifically, the black sand wallpaper was very striking but the link had no way to download it.

This looks like it only supports Nexus or Google phones at present.

Just be careful what you put on there. Any mention of pressure cookers, guns, and ammonium nitrate might flag a visit from the feds.

This is why I only buy California Olive oil. My local supermarket has a wide variety. And Trader Joe's has small bottles of varietal olive oil that's nice and peppery.

America's Test Kitchen called these "Baked Potato Fans" and used a nice trick to help in slicing them. Position the potato between two chop sticks and you won't slice them through. Also, a really sharp knife is required.

Another perspective.

What about Medico locks?

Paco Underwood's The Science of Shopping talked about how he and his company did this "by hand" (with a clipboard and a field data gathering agent). When retail analytics was in it's infancy, most store owners thought that everyone entering a store would buy something. Paco's data proved them wrong and showed what…
