I was worried for a minute, but I can't actually think of anything a hacker could do with my last.fm account that I care about.

How would one go about setting this up in their own house? Privacy concerns aside, I can think a some cool uses for this (more finely-grained location based reminders for instance)…

You can use a Bluetooth keyboard with an Android tablet.

I believe Ixquick blends results from several search engines, like an aggregator. Startpage is by the same people but only includes Google results. It also has some Google-specific…

Why? I doubt it has any negative impact on Google if a tiny fraction of their users go through a proxy, and I'm having trouble thinking of another reason to oppose doing so.

The two best alternatives I've found: https://ixquick.com/eng/ https://startpage.com/eng/

What if you object to being tracked, but also realize that no other search engine comes close to matching Google's results?

XDA forums are hard at work: http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=1309 Basically, they have CyanogenMod 7 running on it, but there are still some kinks that need to b…

In some ways the more awesome you are the more humility you have to signal, to avoid seeming arrogant.

The memory problem is pretty serious. I've been using the Memory Restart addon ( https://addons.mozilla.org/en-us/firefox/addon/memory-restar... ), which shows memory use in the bo…

Will there be Windows support?

Couldn't they just attempt to fill the "outside" partition up? I mean, let's say you have a 1TB partition with a 100GB hidden volume inside. What happens if somebody tries to write…

The tagging feature is very impressive.
