When you've just about had it with an in correct bill, a faulty product, or anything else you have to call a 1-800 number for, waiting for the automated operator to finish listing all the buttons you can push can feel like rubbing salt in the wound. Dial a Human, a web directory of shortcuts and end-runs around unnecessary prompts, eases the pain. Right now, the site's just a long, single-page list of what button ...

Those of us who have forgone a fancy BlackBerry, Treo, or iPhone know a standard cell phone is probably the most non-interactive, un-tweakable device in the gadget stable. But for many phones, there's a way around overpriced cables, intentionally weak Bluetooth software, and lack of good syncing software. The multi-tool of phone data, BitPim, is a free, open-source, cross-platform solution that can back up all or most of your phone's data, put your home-baked ringtones ...

Among the changes were some improvements to Forms.The most visible change makes the whole Forms feature more accessible to you, since "spreadsheets" isn't the first place you'd look to create a form. We noticed that many of you search for "Forms" from your Docs List and from within the other editors (documents, presentations). So, we've ...

Ben Sollee is featured in September’s edition of Paste Magazine as on of the “Best of What’s Next”, and he’s in good company. Other artists featured in the article include The Bridges, Liam Finn, Islands, Wild Sweet Orange, Los Campesinos, Jamie Lidell, Black Kids and others. I think this article says a lot about the state of music in Louisville at present. Of the best of what’s next, one is from Louisville, and several others ...

iPhone/iPod touch only: Free iPhone application MiGhtyDocs performs a simple but handy task—namely, synchronizing your Google documents and spreadsheets to your iPhone for read-anywhere access. The big obvious drawbacks are a lack of any editing or modifying access, and a lack of support for Google's PowerPoint-cloning Presentations service, but if you do a good amount of work in Google's online office environment, it's the kind of low-wattage app you'll be glad you have on your ...
