FLO TV: More Baggage, Less Function

Imagine this- a company that has decided that its not enough for you to carry your mobile phone, GPS, Kindle and PMP device, but that you should add one more to the mix. And at $250 with an $8 monthly fee, FLO TV is acting like they don't remember that we're trying to dig ourselves out of an economic recession, not create a new one.

I was watching a story on the news about a group of 17 high school girls who made a 'pregnancy pact' and methodically got themselves impregnated from various sources, including a homeless man. I suppose in the grand scheme of things, what with Jamie Lynn Spears getting pregnant in the public eye in her teens, and Jessica Alba et al minimizing the need for matrimony before conception, it was only a matter of time before something like this happened.

Android Trick: Remove Facebook Contact Photos

So, you've got your shiny new android phone and now you've linked all your Facebook contacts to your device.

At that pint you'll notice that your originally selected photo (not the one from Facebook) is showing. Tap the picture and then you'll have the option to use that photo, delete it or chose a different one from your gallery.
