That is actually my phone. I agree with you. Am running a CM7 [2.3.4] flavored build which has made a world of difference. can't imagine still running stock 2.1. I think all the ROMs with their eventual battery pulls is what made that door so loose.

You can always read about ways to increase your signal before needing to buy a new router, [lifehacker.com]

super late reply, but podcasting on windows kind of stinks. Most of the media players have it built in if you have them (Winamp, Zune, DoubleTwist) and for stand alone, you want Gpodder [gpodder.org] which is super powerful with insane crossplatform power.

it was working briefly. If you have an account you had to place an invitee in a circle, post something to that circle and email it to them. then, they could use the link above, without an actual invite, to get started. I used that trick on two people at 10:45 PST.

Thanks.

Is the premise that journalists use FB? I really thought that was mostly twitter. I don't think 'liking' a revolution was very anonymous to begin with.

That hosts file linked to in the post killed my system (OSX 10.6.8) and adblock does a fine job. I have a modified hosts file on my phone which is definitely handy, but until I get better with picking the hosts list, I am sticking with simple browser based/css blocking for now.

Couldn't you limit this with permissions? It even sounds like, at least on the Win7 machines, it already takes admin to open, and on UNIX systems definitely requires sudo. I guess what I am saying is that as long as I am not running as admin constantly or downloading malware, it should be fine right?

This sounds like a good excuse to do an article about upgrading your hard drive on a macbook[pro] (or whatever Mac you use Adam).

I actually got an invite from a friend and will totally be testing it out. Honestly, if they just implement something similar to Diaspora's groups (Friends, Family, coworker, etc.) I will use it more than ole FB in a heartbeat.

@TheNimboo: been using LauncherPro for quite sometime and can't say I recall many (if any) FC. Probably a ROM issue. Try some of the CM7 spin-offs.

Good answer and completely true about the other file systems. Lifehacker had a piece a long time ago about setting up RSS notifications of replies, but I seem to recal that not working after they re-did the site. The previous example was something using tarpipe or Yahoo Pipes.

Well the response was no surprise:

Do people actually refer to uTorrent as micro-torrent or as 'u'-torrent? I use it on my windows PC which does most downloading, but on my everyday mac its transmission all the way.

What sort of speed benefits can you get switching to a wireless router with a gigabit WAN (either G, or N)?

Surfboard.

Too bad there isn't a nice sparrow-esque program for Windows. The only reason I use a client anyways (as opposed to gmail's web interface) is to limit distractions (like clicking on LH).

On a side note that is slightly related, I hate when I notice issues in the low-range (distortion) only to find out it is the recording itself. For instance in the self-titled Broken Bells album jams at the low-end (like most of DJ Dangermouse's music) and for the longest time I thought my download was crap (from…
