OMG, adorable. Our little guy likes to sing, "I been waitin' all day for Sunday night." Except "Sunday night" sounds like "wrecking crew". Go figure. http://www.youtube.com/watch...

"Recently, I moved my Phone app out of the main bottom dock and into the top left spot. I realized that I rarely use the iPhone as a phone anymore, and AT&T helps quite a bit with that thanks to its awful service in San Francisco. I text much more than I actually make calls, so I added that icon to the main dock."

"Obviously, I use Twitter quite a bit as I have not one, but two Twitter apps on my main screen, Tweetie 2 and Birdfeed. I use Tweetie 2 most of the time but keep Birdfeed there because it has a much nicer geolocation implementation (which Twitter will hopefully be formally launching soon)."

foursquare... "There are two applications on my main screen that I use primarily to help me with work throughout the day: Yammer and Boxcar. Yammer is what we use at TechCrunch to talk to one another, while Boxcar is a push notification app that can send me alerts for various searches on Twitter, as well as ping me when new Gmails come in. I keep it on the main screen because I often will miss a notification and Boxcar has its own notification inbox to show you what you’ve missed." ... Instapaper

"Turn on Green Robot, a new experiment in Gmail Labs, and you'll see a robot icon next to people who are currently using Android phones. In the case below, Shirley is online with Android, Nicolle R. is using regular Gmail chat, and Chris I. is currently away but also on Android. Slatka is not an angry robot — she's online with Android but currently busy."

All of these are in the top two or three of each category for me. Chromium I hugely agree with- can't bear to use anything else.

"Not only does it let troops talk and send messages over WiFi, tactical radio and cell phone networks. Soldiers can plan missions and mark target on digital maps. “Navigation tools help troops determine the range and azimuth between any two objects marked on the map. If they receive a target’s location by radio, they can input the code and the system automatically plots it on the display,” National Defense magazine reports. It’s even got a sniper detector built in."

"Darpa, the military’s far-out research arm, is looking for research projects that would create a “therapeutic hypothermia device” to prevent traumatic brain injuries from causing permanent molecular damage to the brain. The idea is based on successful studies that used cortical cooling to treat survivors of strokes and cardiac arrest. According to Darpa’s solicitation, cooling down the brain after trauma can offer “dramatic neuroprotection” that will prevent long-term harm to cognition and motor skills."
