Got a question about technology? Ask it here. Discussion of hardware, software, TiVos, multi-region DVDs, Windows, Macs, LINUX, hand-helds, iPods, anything tech related. Better than any helpdesk!
Oh my god. I wish the CI app came in Android form. It's so nifty! I see what you're saying about the timers, -t. And, hell, not having to log in every time (I hate that about the website) is golden.
It's weird, but I'm making grabby hands at something I already have.
Flash doesn't work on my lynx browser, either!

Wahoo! Good news, Maria!
I just got a new firmware flash on my tablet, and an update to Honeycomb.2. All I've noticed so far is a Swype update, but it's one long in the coming--the ability to edit the custom dictionary. What the fuck took them so long? I entered some random stuff in there by mistake, and it itches to see it suggested. Gone now! I cleaned that sucker up.
I need to poke around and see what else they changed/fixed/added.
Anyone have a comparison between Springpad and Evernote?
I use both, but I definitely use Evernote more. I use Springpad for shopping/buying/product kinds of things.
Ooh, that's perfect, thanks. Just what I needed.
Man, this is a solution in search of a problem. Or, as the page notes, a joke. But, because geeks are geeks, it's a working implementation of a joke.
And, going for the triple...
If I want to root a device, obviously I backup first. But when I go to the Cyanogen Mod page on rooting the G2 (since that's what I'm considering installing), its first recommendation for a backup application is Titanium. Which only runs on rooted devices.
Then it suggests Astro. Which I have, and I've used to backup my phone, but I'm leery of thinking it's a sufficient backup, just because I don't trust that bit of the entry anymore because of the Titanium mislead. Is Astro able to do a sufficient backup?
Gris, what do you use for backup before you root? Anyone? Bueller?
I didn't - I rooted my phone about 3 days after I got it, so I didn't have much to back up. Getting access to Titanium was one of the main reasons I rooted, actually. There is no easy way to back up without root - app developers don't want you to be able to easily back up, I think, since many of them provide "exporting" as one of the premium features in the non-free versions! The fact that this couldn't be easily done astonished me - I hate iTunes, but at least syncing an iPhone with it backs up everything.
This page has good info: [link] Unfortunately, the main takeaway is "you can back up a lot of things, but not app data unless the program has it built in."
