Nowadays we are accustomed to using the mobile phones for all sorts of activities. Back in the old days, mobile phones were used mainly for calling people and sending them SMS. Things have changed over time, and now we have smart phones, supposedly univeral computing devices that happen to be usable for making phone calls and sendings SMS as well. After spending a couple of days on setting-up full installation, backup, and restore procedures for my new phone, I started wondering how smart they actually are. It should be noted that this post is mainly oriented on issues I have with Android phones.

After opening-up the machine I've done some cleaning-up since quite a bit of dust had ...

Well, after my recent purchase of Android, I got back into reading books again. Using <a href="http://www.fbreader.org/">FBReader's</a> built-in option for searching and downloading free e-books, I've stumbled upon a very nice fantasy book written by <a href="http://ecmock.blogspot.com/">Elizabeth C.

Last night was quite fun. After quite a long time, an interesting band decided to hold the concert in Belgrade - <a href="http://www.painofsalvation.com/POSdotcom/enter.html">Pain of Salvation</a>. Since we don't get many progressive bands playing here, I just had to go.

They were promoting their new album, but I've mostly listened to their older stuff ...

Well, after a lot of reluctance, I've finally made the jump onto the <a href="http://www.android.com/">Android</a> bandwagon. For a long time I haven't been ready to make the move onto it since I was hoping that a more Freedom-friendly platform would emerge, but alas, after Nokia's fiasco and <a href="https://meego.com/">MeeGo</a>, there's not ...
