I’ve not been posting as often as I’d like due to the Android WordPress app not connecting… that’s another post. What I have been doing over the last couple of days is dropping any stories that I like to Google Keep. This has to be the one mobile app that I find the most useful; from shopping, book, movie, games, and to-do lists, to inspirations, notes, and shit I must…

Yes, even the 2012 Nexus 7 will get updated to Android 5.0 Lollipop Android Central I hardly use my N7 online, so never seen much of a danger of using OFW. Fingers crossed there could be perfomace improvements, worse case I root it and drop on the quickest lit-weight CFW I can find
4.4.3 arrived earlier this month for my Nexus 4, I’ve missed root access, but only just got around to implementing it today.

I’ve been on a quest to find a decent note taking app for my Android phone for some time. I’ve tried several, but for the past few months Google Keep (get it here on Play) as shone through. Feature I like about Google Keep … although not necesarily unique to the app ease it just works, although I’m not a fan of the widget, but then again Power Control is…

We’re moving into the age of the paperless office at work, so I’m looking to start using my wi-fi Nexus 7 to take notes on. I can tether it to my mobile if necessary, and who knows they may one day entice BYOD by allowing us to connect our own devices to the companies wi-fi. But until then I’d like to use my Android device offline. Keep is great for…

Taken direct from Startpage – prism program exposed If you haven’t already ditched google, and set startpage as your default search engine, you really should consider it. I think this is the end of an era of the free web… or maybe 7 years ago was, according to below. Those that choose to, will find new ways to surf anonymously.
