Posted by Justin on April 21st, 2010

And though I never dealt with the issues some W7 users reported, I find the new task bar support very intuitive and useful. I’ve been using it for a [...]
uTorrent Implements New Protocol, Several Tracker Sites Cry and Take Their Ball Home
Posted by Chaz on March 15th, 2010
uTorrent’s new uTP protocol was supposed to be uTorrent’s answer to ISPs throttling the P2P protocol. While the effectiveness of the new protocol is in question, some critics are calling the change unfair.

Posted by Russell on March 3rd, 2010
Since my induction to the HTC Fan Club and my recent self-appointment to the position of HTC Fan Boy (formerly Android Padawan), I have been forcing myself to try something new with the phone every day. Before I got my Eris, the closest that I had come to apps was Installous on a [...]
