"Eclipse: Android code is basically coding in Java. Eclipse is an IDE that is most known for its Java friendly environment and is probably among the first tools one needs to download as they start out developing on the Android platform. Google, the creator of the Android platform, have done an excellent job getting the Android SDK to run with Eclipse. The two are almost synonymous to developers. Eclipse gives developers an easy time in getting their code in sync with facilities such as debugging, the DDMS perspective, and a host of other important tools available in the Android SDK kit. On the surface level, Eclipse makes Android development a whole lot better - the object oriented code is easy to write and manage, plus you can get a design view of layout files such as XML based files used in Android code."

"1. Calibre: Superficially, Calibre looks like a tool to manage books on your e-reader. But underneath, it offers much more. It is a powerful management tool that can edit the metadata for your books and convert books into a useable format for the Kindle, Nook and iPad among others. With this tool, I can make a properly formatted rich-text version of the original document, edit the metadata to include details such as author, publisher, cover and tags, and then covert that file to .mobi, .epub, and .pdf. With those three formats, you cover nearly every e-reader on the market."

"APPALLING. That?s what Microsoft appears to have given the world. First it put a tax on every computer sold, removing people?s ability to avoid this tax even if they want nothing to do with Microsoft. Now they want to force people to pay Microsoft a tax no matter which phone they buy. That?s right, and if it?s not Microsoft pulling those strings, then it?s the two co-founders of the company and their former CTO, who with funding from a Microsoft co-founder created the world?s largest patent troll, Intellectual Ventures. Watch how patent lawyer types try to white-wash the patent trolls? role in industry and cover the fact that Gates and his buddy Myhrvold are extorting RIM for its phones, just like HTC and Samsung (for Linux), allegedly after Myhrvold did his blackmail routines. Here is how patent lawyers put it (subscription required)."
