Good news for users of multiple Google accounts (i.e. – one for work and one for personal): now you can sign-in to more than one of them from the same browser window.
The feature has been in testing for several weeks, but now appears to be publicly available by going to the Google Accounts page and enabling multiple sign-in (it’s turned off by default).
Before you can turn it on, Google wants you to be aware of a few caveats, most notably that not all products support multiple sign-in and offline mode for Gmail and Google Calendar won’t work.

As we got more, our guts shrank because we didn't need a giant vegetable processor any more. Our bodies could spend more energy on other things like building a bigger brain. Sorry, vegetarians, but eating meat apparently made our ancestors smarter — smart enough to make better tools, which in turn led to other changes, says Aiello.
"If you look in your dog's mouth and cat's mouth, and open up your own mouth, our teeth are quite different," she says. "What allows us to do what a cat or dog can do are tools."
Tools meant we didn't need big sharp teeth like other predators. Tools even made vegetable matter easier to deal with. As anthropologist Shara Bailey at New York University says, they were like "external" teeth.

And The Winner Is …
Apple iPhone 4
The Motorola Droid X came close, but even antennagate can't kill the Apple iPhone 4's momentum. For the past three years Apple has made the iPhone the true touch-screen titan and while the competition continues to try to take away its crown, it hasn't happened just yet.
The Droid X made a valiant effort, but it just wasn't meant to be.
Final Score: Apple iPhone 4, 9; Motorola Droid X, 6

There is a whole really good article there on the Droid vs. The Iphone and which is better. Worth reading the full thing. Droid excels at more than I thought it would. -
For Chase bank customers on the go, there’s one less reason to stop by an ATM.
Chase last month added a feature to its banking iPhone application enabling customers to virtually deposit a check using the smart phone’s built-in camera.
Called Quick Deposit, it requires a snapped picture of the front and back of an endorsed check, which is then submitted to Chase via the app. The amount is deposited directly into your account; Chase encourages customers to destroy the physical check as soon as it clears.

Droid X vs iPhone 4, that is the hot topic of discussion these days. With the recent Droid X sales figures from Verizon, the speculations started again whether Droid X can beat iPhone 4 as far as sales are concerned. That is, to be frank, one tough task to accomplish considering outstanding iPhone 4 sales figures. 300,000 Droid X units were sold in the opening week which is great but still does not beat Apple iPhone 4 sales.

This is a clearing house for free and paid-for web products which, as its creators point out, do not yet have all the functions of native software downloaded from the App Store, but are increasingly powerful. OpenAppMkt can be installed on the iPhone directly from its web site to the homescreen, and then users can browse by category or bestsellers, and instal and purchase apps, also by adding them to the homescreen. Products can also be reviewed or shared by Facebook, email and Twitter.

Apple artificially limits the use of Facetime—their videoconference software for the iPhone 4—to Wi-Fi use. Good thing we have independent developers to make it work under 3G too. This is how to do it:
