Anyone heard of boost mobile? Sign up for their pay as you go plan (covers voice and data) and then you don't have to worry about all those skype and tmo subscriptions, and you probably will end up saving more than money than either option above.

This is pretty bad advice that you could give anyone. It is also worth noting that most OEMs will disable the ability to turn off password request on wakeup.

Looks great with Chrome, but the weekly dates above the calendar are just too huge. Takes up valuable screen space that should otherwise be devoted to seeing the actual calendar.

I'd rather wait for a few more weeks to see the sync feature Google will be testing. But, this certainly closes the bridge for those who still use Firefox for certain things.

I had issues with PG2 on Win7 as well and then I found PeerBlock is more or less a testing ground for the PG series. I have been using the "nightlies" for a couple months now and it has been working perfectly. Cheers to the devs for fixing loading issues and all.

@DiscoZombie: or here's another tip: use this script, [userscripts.org]

Too fake. I fail to see why they would rework the Chrome browser into something so primitive. If anything, Google would install Chrome browser by default and then all done.

@boundlessdreamz: Great script. The way it was before using the scripts was just simply too distracting with the spongebob squarepants icon and all. Oh, for the rest of you, I can confirm this works on the latest dev build of Google Chrome. Cheers.

Looks like they totally ripped off Terminator Salvation with "The future is now" tagline.

@glassmusic: Google Earth does has sky mode, but this has a far more extensive database of the universe with better features for exploring. I have tried the desktop application a long time back when it first got release. It was impressive from the start and even more impressive now. Give it a shot and you will see…

Unless you really need the extra RAM, its not worth it especially if you the type of person who constantly like to minimize programs. It will use up CPU cycles and bog down performance when trying to reduce that memory each time its minimized.

Has anyone been able to get the Chrome updater to work properly in Windows 7? Apparently, I have read elsewhere the channel chooser is not fully compatible and therefore you really can't update directly through the browser itself. For the time being, I have been downloading the builds from softpedia.

They have been doing random bucket testing of this feature for months now. Nothing new, except they might be rolling this feature out on a larger scale.

You'd be surprised on how easy it is for someone to sabotage your email account by signing you up for porn newsletters without you knowing. So if there is a sudden jump in porn-related email in the spam or inbox, then this is probably what happened. Unless of course you sign up for all that yourself :o

Another failed Minimalistic copycat script imo. The search bar at the top is unnecessary as it is only used sparingly. Secondly, it takes two hits ("w" and "u") just to open the collapsible sidebar and access the the "starred items", "trends", etc; another two hits just to close all back.

Looked great in the picture...until I installed it and started using it. I use the expanded mode instead of list, and the headlines are nice and big so its easy to spot while scrolling through. But this script shrinks it to a size to 12 font or whatever making it an eyesore. Even worse is the search bar is gone…

I honestly find this nothing more than bloat for Firefox when most people already have enough addons running. The better option is to just change your Windows Update settings to "check for updates, but let me choose whether to download and install them". Same exact function but just a simpler and Windows-native…

@DahCheet: I could not find a way of doing this with the current gmail settings. The only suggestion I can think of is to send a BCC to your secondary and then have the secondary account automatically filter these emails into a separate "sent" folder. While this may not be exactly what you were looking for, but its…

@maalmeida: Interesting idea. This would certainly eliminate the current hassle of having to click OK even when you want to be sending with your default address. Hopefully, the script dev is reading these comments for feedback and will try to implement this feature in a future version. After all, this script is…

As a college student, it's always been the thumb rule that you should use your university email for sending messages to faculty. But, more often than not, I find myself forgetting to switch the email address when replying to a message. Another day another problem solved thanks to lifehacker.
