Wallpaper Editor Really Works…and It’s Easy

Though I have been loving Herg’s D-Freshest ROM (build 23412), I have been frustrated by my inability to get all of the TF3D backgrounds to match the Home screen. I tried Showaco’s and mUn’s cabs, but they just didn’t work with TF3D 2.1. GenY’s cab worked, but it removed my sporty new Apple slider tab [...]

Psychology of Technology: Relationships 2.0: How Technology is Redefining How We Connect

Of all the areas of life that computer and communications technology seems to be impacting the most is its influence on relationships. Mobile phones, texting, facebook, and Twitter are just a few of the ways in which relationships are being redefined, established, and maintained by technology.

Windows Live Mobile App Updated

From our friends over at wmexperts.com, we learn that the Windows Live mobile app has been updated (so much happening over at Microsoft these days!). Here’s what they have to say about it: “There was so much news from Tuesday’s launch of Windows Mobile 6.5 that we’re keeping things going today! Up next is an [...]

Stop Those Accidental Call Pickups and Rejections

I’m not actually writing this post. Rather, I am channeling our very own DavidK who is too darned busy trying to earn a meager wage as a New York City attorney (don’t hold that against him; he’s one of the good guys) to post this app. So, as I can earn my meager wage as [...]

iPhone Today Very Cool Mod

Despite all the grief I get from WM cult members, I have been using iPhone Today on my Fuze for some months now. It’s a basic app launcher that you can load all of your favorites into and simply swipe (rather than the cumbersome WM press folder, back, etc.) to get the one you want. [...]

Sure Is Hot Out

The ability to add cities that aren’t listed in the TF3D Weather tab is essential for anyone who is from or will be going to villages, small towns, burghs, and nowheresvilles not currently listed. Unfortunately, with the move from TF3D 2.0 to versions 2.1 and 2.5), the venerable Weather Database Editor has become obsolete (i.e., [...]

AT&T Phones For $.01 Today Only on Amazon

What is AT&T up to? Are they crazy? Well, who knows, but for today only, they are selling every  phone they have (netbooks and prepaid phones excluded, so I guess not every phone) for just $.01 on amazon. Yes, you read it right, one cent, 1/100th of $1). Sounds like a liquidation sale before the [...]

Newest WM 6.5 Build 23412

As the saying goes, you can’t keep up with the players without a program. And that’s the way it is with ongoing “leaks” (who is MS kidding?) of WM 6.5, now with build 23412 (as reported by wmpoweruser.com). Here’s what they have to say: “Windows Mobile 6.5.1 is shaping up pretty nicely on the UI [...]

Psychology of Technology: Ad Out!

No, I’m not talking about the U. S. Open Tennis Championships just concluded in New York. I’m talking about the invasion of Web site real estate by all manner of ads. Have you looked at your most frequently visited Web sites lately, I mean really looked at them. Go back to a few and take [...]

A Waze to Go

Gosh, I’m punny. But seriously, sure, GPS is a useful tool for getting where you want to go when you don’t know how to get there. But have you ever followed your GPS’s route and ended up in a quagmire of a traffic jam. Something new and better is on the way. Introducing Waze, “a [...]
