I use my Google voice number exclusively.
If I get spamed I can just click a button on my browser and block that number forever.
Works great. You also never know when a person you want to give your number to will change into a person you wish you had never given your number to.

Good for you.
Me. I do not give a shit.
I share nothing with Facebook and will continue to not use it.
I do not find my life empty and without purpose. I am not missing invites to my (real) friends birthday parties or get togethers.
I have about 40 - 50 people in my life. Friends, family and co workers I give a shit about. I find no need of having 500 -600 Facebook "friends".
Not sure how I would have a life if I had 500 real life friends. Even with social networking to make it a bit easier.
I think that many people do not even know what a friend is anymore.
My life is full and I have 10% of the "friends" that many Facebook users have.

At CES CNET voted that Dish networks "Hopper" would be best of show. Of course CBS, owner of CNET steped in to kill that due to pending litigation over the Hopper.
Well they have finally come clean about it.
Sort of. My favorite part is these two quotes from the editor in chief of CNET Lindsey Turrentine.
First.
"Going forward, I will do everything within my power to prevent this situation from happening again."
Followed by.
"If I had to face this dilemma again, I would not quit. I stand by my team and the years of work they have put into making CNET what it is."
Hmmm

I bailed on RIM almost 4 years ago.
Went to Android. I will not be switching back but....
If I was still using a BB I would be very happy right now.
The keyboard looks very nice. The time shifting photo thing is awesome.
There are some real nice ideas in there. Would love to see that keyboard on my Galaxy Nexus.

I love Tasker for this kind of thing.
Turning on wifi at home and at work.
Toggling GPS off when battery power gets low.
Guess though would would need some kind of patent on stuff like this to use it on iOS or Windows Phone 8.
On Android though Tasker has been on every one of my phones for a few years now.

If he wanted to expose crimes that the US were responsible for he could have just released the pertinent documents cleaned of mentioning anything that could put a persons life in danger.
What he did was dangerous, stupid and selfish.
He just wanted to be the big man. Fuck Manning.
