Alternatives to the default Androids homescreen application

I have installed 4 alternatives to Androids default homescreen theme with icons.

aHome Lite

Freshface

Open Home Lite

PandaHome

When pressing the homescreen button I could toggle between different homescreen apps. All with their own settings, homescreens, themes and icons.

My favourites are Freshface and PandaHome. In Freshface I have an theme allowing me 5 screens to put my apps.

Give it a try.

Android apps-Alternatives to default market

It exists alternatives to the default market for android applications. I have tried SlideMe (Sam 2.8) and Handangos InHand. SlideMe has more apps to offer than Handangos InHand and several of them are free, but Handangos InHand has applications you could buy. I found some useful applications not available in the default android market. Give it a try....

Chrome Os first glimpse - Fake pictures

It seems as if more and more people get fooled by not checking properly their sources of information. The latest one having a big hype at the moment is the fake pictures of Google Chrome Os Private Developer Beta originated from the Chromeosleak blog, even several IT newspapers has being fooled, the norwegian ITavisen is one of them. It's funny to see that the first comment made about the article by a reader is stating the fact that it's all fake but eventhough the comments keep coming in, why don't people bother reading?

It's really scary to see how easily people get fooled.

Chromeosleak announcement in the form of a youtube video:
