Motorola Phones Have a Pitifully Long Wait for Android 4.0 [Android]

Android 4.0—aka Ice Cream Sandwich—is such a lovely and tasteful software update for Android phones that I'd be kicking and crying if my phone didn't have it. Well, it looks like Motorola owners should start kicking and crying because they have a painfully long wait before they even sniff Ice Cream Sandwich. We're talking like Motorola doesn't even know when's it coming long. More »

Adblock Plus developer pokes holes in Mozilla's new add-on performance tests

Wladimir Palant, developer of the most popular add-on in the world, Adblock Plus, is also an active contributor to the Planet Mozilla blog community. Over the last few days, in response to Mozilla's new name and shame list of slow add-ons, Palant has been investigating whether Mozilla's testing methods are actually accurate.

Rather surprisingly, it turns out that Mozilla's numbers could be significantly wrong -- and if they're not wrong, the factors that Mozilla uses to tabulate an add-ons final score should definitely be made more transparent.

In the first set of tests, Palant shows that FlashGot's position in the top 10 is probably due to a fault in Mozilla's testing setup, and that add-ons can perform very differently depending on which operating system they're being tested on. In the second analysis, Palant uncovers an irregularity that doesn't seem to have an obvious cause -- but it could be due to an I/O bottleneck on Mozilla's test machines. Basically, even though performance testing of Read It Later is disabled because of a bug, it still (somehow!) manages to record a 14% slow-down on Windows 7.

Palant concludes both analyses by scolding Mozilla for going public with the performance data before its testing methods had been confirmed accurate. It definitely looks like Mozilla has been more than a little reckless, considering the importance of Firefox's add-on ecosystem.

March 31 is World Backup Day 2011

World Backup Day 2011
Those benevolent armchair philanthropist Redditors are at it again! Four days ago a 'self' post extolling the potential virtues of a Backup Day exploded with 2500 upvotes and 1000 comments -- and now World Backup Day 2011 is actually happening.

On March 31, as part of the global data-saving initiative, you are encouraged to back up all of your cherished photos and videos, and important documents. If you've ever had a hard disk fail, and not had a backup to fall back on, you'll know that it's a bit like losing a sizable fragment of your soul. If you've never backed up your important files -- or if you only back up sporadically -- do it on World Backup Day!

It's not hard to back up your data, either. A 2TB drive costs only a fistful of dollars, and it takes just a few minutes to set SyncToy for Windows, or Time Machine for Mac, to mirror your data every night. If you prefer a cloud-based solution, there's always SugarSync and Dropbox. Finally, don't forget that Bundlelytic has a charity giveaway for three excellent data-backup-and-recovery tools -- $160 of software for only $25, and 100% of the proceeds to go the Japanese Red Cross.

For even more backup options, for Windows, Mac OS X, and Linux, check our list of 13 great backup programs.

Qmadix Snap-on Cover for the Pantech Breakout [Accessory Review]

Qmadix

No one wants to be locked into a contract on a nice new device and then drop it unprotected and have it break, do they? Keeping your smartphone protected is quite important, and while some add cases for protection, others add it for style or functionality, making finding the perfect case for everyone nearly impossible. 

The Qmadix Snap-on Cover for the Pantech Breakout is a great case that combines style, functionality, and protection all in one great package. Without adding a bunch of bulk, or putting some fancy print on the outside, we can't help but wonder -- is this the case for you? With tons of cases already on the market, and new ones hitting almost daily it can be rather difficult to find the perfect case for your needs, but we want to help you out and guide you in the right direction. Let's hit the break and check out some more details about the case as well as a bunch more pictures.

The Qmadix Snap-on Cover has two pieces, one is the case that snaps over the phone and the other is a holster which the cover slides into. I am quite particular about cases and covers on my phone, usually I don't like them since most of them are either to slick or to bulky but I happened to find a rather happy medium with this case. The ribbed style design on the back allowed for the case not to be to slick and want to slide out of my hand, but the case itself was not overly large, contoured the device well.

Another pet peeve I have with cases is when they don't fit super snug, or the edges aren't properly aligned, whether they sit above or below the device it still drives me nuts. The Qmadix case snaps on pretty easily, but locks right into place and doesn't move. It aligns well with the device, and feels very natural in your hands. The cut outs for the charging port, headphone jack and other ports are easily accessible but they aren't overly huge which is a definite plus. Additionally, removing the case doesn't take a ton of effort, nor does it feel like you are going to break the case or device while attempting to remove it.

The case itself is very nice, and definitely a great accessory, and luckily the holster that they have paired with it is equally as well constructed and useful. While belt clips aren't for everyone, they definitely serve a great purpose in my life, I prefer to have quick and easy access of my device instead of fumbling through my pockets to grab it as it rings. The holster has a nice felt liner on the inside which is great since you are placing your device screen side in on towards the holster. In addition the holster has a nice strong ratcheting style clip which allows you to pick a position which you want it to hold to and keep it that way.

If you are looking for a nice case and holster combination without adding a ton of bulk or breaking the bank, the Qmadix Snap-on Cover may be a great case for you.
