The share menu got a little cleaned up in ICS, for what it's worth.
I think 2 people responded to it before and I explained myself. Then I felt like there was a rational discussion on the merits and deficiencies on features revolving around time-shifting paid content, if you regard it as a "shitstorm," it started when I was explaining what I thought were the merits of Instapaper's paywall circumvention technique. There somehow was some weird discussion about the relevance/irrelevance of Instapaper not saving multi-page articles in the past, and whether that was a bug or not, as if past issues are relevant. Then there were the sudden GTFOs.
So am I expected to post "u mad" or something? I think I brought up good points, and we seemed to be having a discussion. It's odd for you to do this abruptly in the middle of it, and what's this, the third time now to end a conversation? *Shrug*
I hope the mobile version of spreadsheet become more usful. Right now you can't really input data with it.

RIP consoles.
Google needs to hire Perlman to work in the X Lab and be done with it.
After months of dealing with the piece of shit that is the Google Listen podcast app, I finally uninstalled it and downloaded one that seems to work flawlessly- Podkicker. Paid $2 for the full version. God what a piece of trash Listnen was, on my Moto Droid at least. Google should be ashamed. It never loaded podcasts properly, podcasts would restart at the beginning at random, usually couldn't skip forward (which is a pain when the podcast restarts on its own), and the lack of a download feature was the last straw. Really poorly designed app. Does anyone else have these troubles with Listen?
Yeah Listen sucks. Podkicker is quite good and the developer is still active.
Did anyone try that Tweagle app (twitter + 4square)? It's very basic but a clean UI
My
have you tried "boost" hahah. honestly back when i was in ny boost made my connection go from terrible to fantastic
can't say the same about comcast -- their "boost" made my connection go from completely usable to occasionally usable
ymmv

That's assuming everybody has a padfone. Or some other device that lets your phone piggyback directly off its battery. Regular USB charging wouldn't even be enough to charge your phone faster than it uses power if you're streaming a lot of data.
It's cool that MS/Google have understood that different ecosystems exist.
Also, hot damn that chick driving the car in the youtube video.

What is the best app to lock certain photos from showing up in your Gallery? The one I'm currently using seems to make my Gallery just not load at all at random times.
Stored on your phone phone? QuickPic can hide/unhide folders for you rather easily.

Does it do specific pictures within folders?

Reddit Sync is frankly the bees knees. Love that app.
It really is brilliant isn't it? The developer is working at a cracking pace.
Gonna give on{x} a try, all the down votes appear to be due to the Facebook login and probably due to the Javascript coding (though I haven't tried it yet so I don't know how in depth it goes). I know Javascript anyway so shouldn't be a problem. Interesting idea and I'm assuming some sort of small test project.
Tried it just now, bought it after 2 mins of using the ad version.
First Reddit app ive seen that shows me imgur image at the same time as the comments. Awesome.

Is there any way to have the address bar in my browser show up at the bottom of my screen? It's annoying when i'm holdin it one handed and I have to slide my phone down in my hand to reach the top. Dropped it already a couple of times doing this. Maybe my hands are too small.

This man is correct. I've fallen in love with this since you just set it up and forget about it. The only problem I've encountered is that the option to start playing on jack plug only seems to work the first time after the phone is restarted. All times after that I have to manually open DG, at which point it starts playing automatically.
Does this happen to anyone else?
I do wish it was slightly prettier though.
Gotta say, I've always preferred BeyondPod over DG. Maybe it's just me?
I use BeyondPod. It was the best free podcast app and since getting an unlock key in a sale I've never really felt the need to check out alternatives. The only thing I don't like is that the settings are really bloated, but that's not a big deal once it's all set up.
The notifications screen widget which they recently added for controlling playback is extremely useful. Do all the other players have that?

Is anyone else having a problem with articles in Instapaper not showing up in the Read Later folder? They sync over fine in my Like and Archive folder but not that one. I've tried reinstalling the app and everything but it doesn't fix it. A bit annoying as by the time I found out it wasn't working, it was way after the 15 minute refund period due the the annoying server problems they had meaning you couldn't log in. I contacted their support email, but still haven't had a reply.
Doesn't feel any different on my CM9 GS2. Still considerably less smooth than the stock browser.
They pretty-fied the Bookmarks page. Icons look better. I have noticed some minor UI tweaks, there are very subtle.

Welcome beautful toddler, Madison Elizabeth, to the horde!
Pocket Casts is my Podcast grabber of choice
I went through a period where I was trying a bunch of podcatchers. I eventually had it down to Doggcatcher and Beyondpod. I absolutely could NOT decide which one to stick to. I really liked how Doggcatcher had the player on the bottom at all times. I eventually decided to stick to Beyondpod because I liked the UI a tad bit better, and it just looked nicer. I'm kinda having doubts now though. 
I've noticed it only stops working when you force close the app (dismiss from multitasking menu).
I seldom use the multitasking menu, so it wouldn't be that. At least for my case.
Check whether it's already rooted/has ClockworkMod Recovery installed. If so you should be able get into the recovery menu and wipe all settings. Most commonly this is done by powering the phone on while holding either Volume Up or Down.
If not, I'm not sure whether it's possible to get the phone rooted without actually having access to the phone itself. I would think it is, if you physically take out the sd-card and put the necessary files on it, but I'm not sure as I don't have a Galaxy myself.
Basically, if possible, get ClockworkMod Recovery on it and wipe everything.

I ended up with BeyondPod. I think the interface make more sense. Things are more compenenized.
Splashtop works well for me... the ios version. Well, I've never used the android version since for some reason it is never on sale while the ios version is on sale all the time. I suppose it should work all the same.

50% off now, I got it, its good, probably the best 'remote desktop' kinda thingy I have used.
I havent tried running games through it though, but I doubt there would be much problemo.

I recommend Foldersync:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=dk.tacit.android.foldersync.full
It uses the usual cloud services (dropbox, box, Gdrive...) and blows away their apps, A LOT of options for syncing folders: manual, automatic, scheduled, subfolders, 1 or 2 ways, deleting files or not etc. etc.
There is also a free app that even with limitations, is quite great.
Does it work using your lan conection? Or it goes to the internet regardless?

If you are home it uses your network, otherwise you can set it up to go through the nets.

Multiple sugarsync and box.net account? Holy crap why did I spend 5 bux referals to expend my dropbox account?
If you have a no-ip.org type service running in your home box you can just put in your no-ip domain address and the network will figure out the rest no matter where you are.
I have a personal domain so I added a pointer on my web host so home.mydomain.com also point to that no-ip address which make it neater.
