tommyrot,
you may want to turn off the offline features of google reader.

Also, I have used gmail and google reader mobile versions when I'm on a metered data connection so I don't blow it out.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Cool. I was wondering if that was possible.

All is well that ends in pizza.

Oops, first read this as "online version". I didn't know there was an offline feature. (I was using google gears for that on my netbook. (Gears is now dead, to be replaced by features in HTML 5)).

Dashcode can create backwards compatibility, but it may not do it by default.
Yeah, I was thinking if I did any more widget stuff I'd download Dashcode. Maybe I'll try it out tomorrow.

Gears might be dead, but there is still an offline feature. I don't know how much data it takes up, but I turn off gmail and reader's offline features when I am on metered data.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Android Contacts suck. All my numbers that were listed by company name are now just listed by phone number. The company name information is still stored, just not on the primary screen, and not searchable.
Is there any simple way around that? They're listed sensibly in gmail contacts.

My Tivo is on the fritz. It's been rebooting at completely random times for no apparent reason for the past few days. (And I do mean *completely* random - I notice it mostly when we're trying to watch something, but I've also noticed it rebooting itself while the rest of the AV system is turned off and there's no scheduled recording or anything.)
If I had to pinpoint when it started, it would be when I upgraded the router last week, so I reran Guided Setup to make sure the new network settings weren't confusing it. (The Tivo is connected to the router via ethernet, so it's not a wireless problem.)
My next step is to call Cablevision because there's also an intermittent CableCard error message that comes up, but based on what I've read on the Tivo forums, the reboot thing seems to be a known issue with the Tivo HD models and happens with or without a cablecard.
Anyone here encountered this and fixed it? It took me almost 2 hours to watch Caprica this weekend because the damn thing was rebooting itself every 15 minutes.
