Rethinking stuff
28/03/2011A long-time interweb friend of mine wrote a lengthy forum reply to me on a forum about rethinking social media. And it was really, I mean really about properly rethinking social media. It began like this: "Mikko: You and/or your cohorts could code this up:[...]" thus I replied, thus realizing I had a blog post for my blog:Android - the honeymoon was already

In fact it was over already before Christmas, when the initial enthusiasm over smudging the touchscreen and palying Angry Birds started to fade. I finally installed that notorious Samsung Kies-software's new version 2.0. So that is used to transfer data and sync the phone among other things. Well, at least it lives up to its reputation.

I'm sharing a few useful and essential utilities and small apps for Mac and some for Windows I've found useful over the years. They are mostly free, donationware, or shareware.I'll start off with Startup Sound. The Mac startup chime is nice and sounds great, but it get sold after a while, in fact, it gets old really quick and just generally annoys. And there's no way in the system prefs to set it off. StartupSound is a nifty 3rd party system extension that allows to mute the chime…
