While there is a lot of room for improvement (Movies included in photostream, ability to view photostream online, forced syncing and making iWork useful) I like it and for the most part think it's an improvement over the solutions I had in place before.

Never.

Or you could just mix and match. I'll stick with Gmail and Docs, but probably transition my calendars to iCloud. There's a few gotchas I haven't figured yet, though... syncing with Address Book and calendars on an Android device being the critical ones.

I've always done something similar, except I use salt instead. Somehow, I never have baking soda lying around...

Different backup solutions do different things. I personally use both Time Machine, CarbonCopyCloner (for a local bootable backup) and Backblaze for online backup (which in my opinion is far smoother than Crashplah and also slightly cheaper if memory serves me right).

I only use three of those. To mention a few that are mission critical to me: TextExpander, TextSoap, BetterTouchTool, Pomodoro and - of course - Evernote.

It really depends on where I am going. Mostly, just my Android phone. If there's a risk of boredom at the destination, I'll also bring my iPod shuffle or my iPad.

I carry a bulky old school bottle opener in my key chain. I hardly ever use it, since everything seems to be with screw caps or in cans nowadays, but I don't have to reach into my pocket to check if I have my keys when I leave the house...

I've found out that a great way to stay on budget is only bringing cash into the store. That way I am forced to only spend what I have. With a debet card it's a little too easy to say "On the amount, please" and very difficult to bother doing the maths before you're at the register.

I do use custom profiles. The point is that the second monitor would not take *any* calibration. At least not as far as I could figure out.

So, I jailbroke my iPad 1 because it was so easy. What do I do next?

I feel your pain. The Android version of Evernote is sub par. I frequently have syncing issues too.

I have to agree with Whitson and wicked - it's not nice when the butler hovers behind you and snaps the book you're using from the table the instant you lay it down just to make a quick note or look in another book. But it is cool when he cleans up after you, when you're done with all of your books, papers and notes.

I use Hazel too. And it's brilliant. Although, I usually don't keep it running, rather I ask it to trigger either of my rules when it's convenient. I can't live with automation; well, at least not for the desktop. But it is a neat way to clean up when I am done working with the files on it.

What a coincidence. It's not long ago I switched to LastPass from Opera's built-in solution to be able to synchronize my passwords. And now this happens mere days after Opera announces password synching in Swordfish.

That is exactly how Opera Turbo works. On at all times, off at all times or automatic mode. There's also a setting that'll make Opera Turbo warn you when it detects a slow connection.
