Microsoft System Sweeper
Have you tried this new free tool from Microsoft yet? 32 and 64 bit versions.
Taskos
Now that I’m completely used to using Gmail and Google Calendar I wanted a good way to see my Google Tasks on my phone. I read something about Google just opening the API or just opening it to Android developers. Not too sure but the article said there should be more apps out soon to bring your Google tasks to your Android phone. I found one last week that does just fine. It’s called Taskos and it seems to run fine on my Thunderbolt.
Thunderbolt SMS app
What sms app do you use on your android? After getting bored with the built in app I finally tried Handcent. Not too sure why I wanted to use something different except but to maybe make it look different! I could think of some things I wanted to be able to do like have it make a different sound for different people. Handcent seemed fine but I recently installed Go SMS Pro and switched to it because I read you could have a different sound for different people but now I’m reading about ChompSMS and think all three can do that!
Facebook Mobile Authentication
How much information do you give Facebook? What about your cell phone number? If you don’t mind them having that, this is a feature worth turning on, I think. I think I added my cell phone number to my profile a long time ago and only have it shared with friends but the world may know it by now since they are always changing settings! Will you give them more info and turn this feature on?

FBI fights to protect ISPs that snoop on their customers
This is enough to piss you off if you care about privacy and the government and big corporations thinking they are always above the law. Everyone should keep up with this kind of stuff just to be aware and to always be on the side of tech folks that try to provide ways to protect customers from this kind of stuff if the customer wants to at least be able to.
