The Facebook Gift Shop Closes Its Doors, Focus Shifts to Improving Other Features
02 Aug 2010 by Evan Wondrasek
Topping the list of Facebook features I’ll never miss, the Facebook team removed the Gift Shop as of August 1st. No longer will you see the nagging option to give your friends images of cakes or puppies for their birthdays (I’m still baffled by the whole virtual item/currency thing). Jared Morgenstern, Facebook’s product manager for games and credits, explains: The gifts you&#...

Droid X: That “Pull” Tab Behind the Battery Cover is for Battery Removal, Don’t Tear it Out!
29 Jul 2010 by Evan Wondrasek / 11 Comments
After a few delays, I was finally able to get my hands on Motorola’s new 4.3″ Android smartphone, the Droid X. This is a really impressive phone, but there is one thing you need to watch out for when you first use it: the “Pull” tab is not meant to be removed! Before you insert the battery into the back of the phone, you’ll notice a yellow tab with the word “P...

How to Install Adobe Flash Player Without Installing Adobe’s DLM (Download Manager) Browser Plugin
28 Jul 2010 by Evan Wondrasek / 21 Comments
Most of us use Adobe Flash, that’s simply a fact of the internet. YouTube, Hulu, Pandora, and dozens of other sites currently use Flash to provide you with interactive media and applications, and until HTML5 (hopefully) gives us a viable alternative, we’re stuck with it in many ways. Don’t get me wrong – I don’t mind Flash. What I dislike is when Adobe starts forc...

How to Enable Vertical Tabs in Google Chrome
23 Jul 2010 by Evan Wondrasek / 19 Comments
Update: Vertical tabs have now been removed by the Chrome development team. Read more: A fond farewell to vertical tabs in Google Chrome I’ve been using Google’s Chrome web browser exclusively for a few months now, but one of the things I miss most about Firefox is the ability to view my tabs vertically rather than across the top of my browser. I’m a pretty aggressive tab user...

Update 07/22/10: I’ve spoken to Verizon reps at corporate stores across the Minneapolis metropolitan area and they have reported that the Droid X is sold out in all stores across the nation. They explained that the only way to currently get the phone is to order it from Verizon online, which should start shipping on approximately August 3rd or 4th. The phone will include free overnight s...

Netflix Will Soon Stream Newly-Released Movies Months Earlier
09 Jul 2010 by Evan Wondrasek / 1 Comment
I’ve been using Netflix Instant Watch as a replacement for cable TV for the last two years, and I haven’t looked back since making the switch. Instant Watch has been a great way to get movies and TV shows quickly, and with the rapid expansion of available content and compatible devices, it’s prime time to be a Netflix subscriber. One big downside to Netflix is that they aren...

Gmail Adds Highly Requested Feature – Rich Text Signatures
09 Jul 2010 by Evan Wondrasek
I have a very simple email signature in Gmail, but I’ve always been disappointed that I wasn’t able to add links or change the formatting. I mean, we can use the rich text editor in the main composition window of Gmail, why can’t we use it in our signatures? For example, I get away with having a link to Techerator in my signature by writing out the full URL (and hoping that the...
