Customize Every Aspect of Your Android Experience

One of the biggest advantages of Android’s open source roots is that users have complete control over pretty much every aspect of the operating system. If you don’t like any aspect of the stock Android experience, there’s a good chance that someone somewhere has already done something about it. If you own an Android phone that is not a Nexus (One or S), you have probably already experienced this. HTC’s Sense UI and Samsung’s TouchWiz are examples of phone manufacturers’ attempts to providing device-specific Android experiences. This is often misunderstood by the less tech-savvy, who assume that what you see is what you get.

10 Power Food Combos The Oscar winning visionary filmmaker opened up during a Reddit AMA on Saturday afternoon. James Cameron, the acclaimed filmmaker behind sci-fi classics like Terminator, Aliens, and Terminator 2, as well as the blockbuster behemoths Titanic and Avatar, participated in a surprisingly candid Reddit AMA on Saturday afternoon. The self-proclaimed “king of the world” was online promoting Years of Living Dangerously, a 9-part documentary series about the filmmaking styles of top directors, which will premiere on Sunday, April 13 on Showtime. And Redditors, as is their wont, didn’t let Cameron off easy, prodding him with questions ranging from how to find missing Malaysia Airlines flight MH370—Cameron knows how, apparently!—to his thoughts on climate change, Leonardo DiCaprio, Arnold Schwarzenegger, and more. Here’s the cream of the crop. [Note: No changes were made to Mr. On how best to combat climate change: On how to find Flight MH370: Well, I know how it will be done. On the Avatar sequels:

Tumblr 10 Absolute "Nos!" for Freelancers 1) Can you show me a mock-up to help us choose a designer/developer? No. I fell for this once when I was young and naive. I made no money and wasted lots of time. Don't do unpaid work for the chance to be paid -- this wouldn't fly in any other industry, so why web design? 2) Can you give us a discount rate? There are A LOT of companies out there that do not see web design as a service worth more than $20 an hour. 3) Will you register and host my site? Sure it seems like a good idea -- free recurring revenue right? 4) Can you copy this site? Now you may think that I answer "No" strictly from a moral standpoint, and although that is true, there are other equally important reasons. 5) Can I pay for my e-commerce site from my website sales? I hate to be the pessimist, but when I am asked this, I want to tell them that they most likely won't make any money so they might as well ask me to do it for free. 6) I have a great idea. 7) Do you have an IM account?

Metabolism: Popular Myths And Nine EASY Ways To Rev It Up! Metabolism is a murky subject that has taken on a meaning of its own. Read on to discover what your metabolism really is, myths about your metabolism and nine techniques to rev it up, and reach your fat burning potential! Author, Rebekah Baumgardner: 'Metabolism is a murky subject that has taken on a meaning of its own.' What Is Metabolism? The word metabolism refers to how much energy your body uses, or how many calories you burn in a day. Even though you're not moving around, your body uses energy (burns calories) by keeping your heart beating, sustaining your muscles, breathing, and regulating your temperature, among other functions. Then add to your BMR how many calories you burn doing your daily activities, and add what you burn in the gym, and voila! Metabolism Myths The word metabolism is one of the most misunderstood words related to training (second only to motivation, but that's another story). For example, a 130 pound, 30 year-old woman who is 5'5" tall has a BMR of 1384. 1. 2.

Dynamic Duos Disbanded: The Money May Be Good, But Not Good Enough To Talk To You! | List Of The Day As Jack White soldiers on with his solo career, it's time here at List of the Day to use this flimsy premise to remember all the great musical duos who are no longer intact. Obviously, there have been more than 25, but it's my job to make the square peg fit into the round hole. I've tried as best I can to avoid duos who are said to be on hiatus, figuring if they can't decide if they're still together, why should I? An alarming amount of lazy musicians maintain they're still working together and could conceivable release something in the next decade. I ignored dynamic duos who performed in bigger organizations. But that still leaves plenty of quality twosomes to remember. 25) Buckner and Garcia: Like most people, I assumed the duo who recorded "Pac-Man Fever" to be Richard Buckner and Jerry Garcia, but according to Wikipedia, the most semi-reliable source for news on the web, it's an Akron-based duo of Jerry Buckner and Gary Garcia. 21) Jan and Dean: Who doesn't like the beach? 7) Wham!
