Droid Bionic and the Ice Cream Sandwich system slowness
I had a the most fantastic and awesome Droid Bionic…. right up until Verizon pushed (OTA) me the Android Ice Cream Sandwich update.

Windows 7 Telnet
OK, not a huge Windows fan, but Win 7 is ok… until you have to troubleshoot a network issue. I like to telnet to ports to see if they are open and if they answer (telnet 192.168.1.13 993). Windows always wants to pretend that it doesn’t have telnet and has never even heard of it […]
