One word: Tasker [play.google.com]

I had several problems with this app on my old MyTouch 4G Slide. It caused Google Play to not see that many other apps had updates and it constantly made the phone forget my default launcher.

When a developer makes software for Windows they do not need to write a different version for each combination of processor, video card, monitor, hard drive, etc. And no one calls the PC market fragmented. Code your app correctly and it will work on all.

Or they did it on purpose to build hype and get all the blogs talking about it.

Thank you Editor for telling us that's an actual word. You're lack of "(sic)" also tells us that.

Interesting strategy. The links use an Amazon affiliate. The percentage you get as an Amazon affiliate goes up the more items you sell. 100s of free items (I think) will raise their percentage on the items that people actually pay for. That probably deserves a Lifehacker post all it's own.

I don't think you know what money laundering is.

What is this "phone call" you refer to? For people like myself who rarely use their phone as a... well, as a phone... a bigger screen is an awesome idea.

At one point I accidentally had Dropbox and JungleDisk sync each other. It was running continuously.

I just do not get the popularity of Zefrank. I find this more self-aggrandizing than inspirational. I much prefer Jesse Thorn's "Make Your Thing" [transom.org]

Someone warn Peter Molyneux about this ruling!

Many states have checkpoints you must pass through to get into the state for various reasons. This one is just a few miles from where one would cross into the US from Juarez, it also happens to be where you would cross into Texas from New Mexico as well.

So silly. We have plenty of pot here in Austin, why risk traveling halfway across the country?

This is a post about an article about a paper. The title of the original paper is "Finding Good Bets in the Lottery, and Why You Shouldn't Take Them". That second idea seems to get lost almost immediately.

I like not having "+" on the new tab button. It's more subtle, but not too subtle IMHO. Not having the Gmail or Google+ logo refresh the page when clicked is driving me bat shit crazy.

Your logic baffles me. Digital copies don't last forever but a paper manual is?

A tablet is a form factor. Your preconceptions of what it "should be" are your problem.

Way to miss the point of a Christmas morning post.

Figured it out. Complete walk-through (rooting, installing Google's Android Market, and how to temporarily unroot so you can use Amazon Instant Videos) here: [theunofficialkindlefireblog.com]

Got my root back using this method but it looks like the old way of installing the Vending.apk don't work. Has anyone figured out how to do that yet?
