@Flemish: Nevermind. Followed XDA thread a few pages to find out.

@Ben Zvan: Because it's easy to see a clock that's 10-15 times larger than the one in the status bar from a few feet away. That's why I do it.

@yanks003: If you disable the Nexus Dots you can enable Secondary Action Buttons which will give you four icons rather than the default two. Then you can create a theme to customize those icons images and the dockbar images to appear like the one above.

@Flemish: That is pure sex. I switched from LP to ADW a few weeks back but you've got me going back now. Thanks for the post.

@WUSS: ADW.Launcher has all of those features. Not arguing that it's better as it's all personal preference. Just stating that those features are available in other launchers too.

I'm going to bandwagon it here too. I prefer ADW.Launcher over LP after using both for a week or so. There isn't too much of a difference but as for now ADW has everything I want out of it.

What about Plan B? I'd say that's a single use tool that comes in handy every now and then... although this is lifehacker.

@jjswee: I came here to draw a similar analogy but yours surpasses anything I would have been able to come up with.

@Brian Alexander: Old? If the iPhone 3GS is old then I am a dinosaur.

@Duffin: I don't think there is a better solution. I take the time to glance down the permission lists for every application I install. If for some reason I felt the need to install this application the personal data access permissions would instantly cause me to cancel installation.

@Toastie: Accept the story without facts, you will.

@MayorBloomberg: So they are now evil for protecting their investments and first-party assets? Not the people in Washington who failed to realized the impact of not allowing net neutrality?

@Ariel Seoane: For trying to protect their interests because the idiot policy makers in Washington D.C. can't understand the implications of having or not having net neutrality? Not I. They're a business first, remember.

@Duffin: I'm just pointing out that saturating the user with a prompt will in most cases cause them to get in the habit of just clicking "Next" or "OK" rather than actually reading it each time.

@Trickyhop: Live wallpapers are wholly different story and justify having to download an app for them. I think what the OP is referring to is applications which just present static pictures for you to choose from and set as your wallpaper.

@sweetelectro: The fact that 2.2 uses JIT is reason enough for an upgrade. Can't beat 2-5x performance gains.

@Brain.wav: This is a great tip. I've used it a lot since my upgrade to Froyo a few months ago. More people need to know about this.

@Izzo: Hasn't iBackground been in the top 25 for iOS free apps for months?

@Vanarie: Like the UAC screen in Vista, people blindly click "OK" when that pops up since it happens every time.
