It appears there’s a bug, or maybe just a slight glitch, in Google’s IMAP implementation. Whenever messages are copied from a desktop IMAP client into GMail, the dates on the GMail web interface’s folder listing become out of sorts.
This problem can be solved by importing mail using the POP3 importing feature, but I thought I’d give people a heads-up just in case they’re thinking about migrating their email into GMail.
(Yes, I caved in and moved into a “cloud” environment. I don’t regret it.)

For anyone installing their own WWAN card into a Inspiron 1521: The SIM card slot for this model laptop is under the battery.
Just found this out today, and I am now very happy. Mobile Internet without extra devices, here I come!

Thanks for this wonderful marketing information Facebook. I’ll be sure to let the corner stores know to put 3OH!3 albums nearby Skittles.
On a side note: Page data is easily viewable by just about anyone on Facebook. See what can be determined with it? Correlation != Causation, but most people who like 3OH!3 honestly do like Skittles.

For anyone who doesn’t already know: a ssh client for BlackBerrys (BlackBerries?) is available for free. It’s called BBSSH, and is currently under pretty active development. Being the administrator I am I downloaded and installed it on my Storm2, but noticed one funky thing: it refused to go into portrait mode, or even hide the keyboard. Also it had a weird border around it.
I’m new to these phones, so I very confused until I did my research. Turns out all you have to do to fix this behavior is to go into Options->Applications, select BBSSH, open the menu, and click “Disable compatibility mode.” Once this is done things behave as expected.

About time. Click here for a read.
Two key paragraphs to notice:
Industry stakeholders were quick to weigh in about the FCC vote. Many have charged that the proceeding is a backdoor way to write net neutrality rules without a congressional mandate. Such rules would prevent broadband providers from favoring certain Internet traffic.
Changing broadband’s regulatory status is a “terrible idea,” Verizon’s top lobbyist, Tom Tauke, said in a statement. “Rather than attempting to make the new world of broadband fit into the regulatory scheme of the old telephone world, the FCC should acknowledge that this is an issue Congress should address.”
These statements definitely made my day. If it’s going to irritate Verizon then I’m sure it’s a step towards proper net neutrality.
