    Google Voice and anon callers?

    I have Google Voice. I know it's possible to setup a custom voicemail message for anon callers to hear. Is it also possible to not allow anon callers to actually leave a message? Gotta be a way to do it, I suspect I'm just missing the setting somewhere? I just want 'em to here something like...

    Companies with GREAT customer service... post 'em up

    With all of the companies that get blasted for their customer service, or the lack there of, I thought maybe it'd be interesting to hear about companies with exemplary CS. It would probably help out a lot of folks in the long run. One that I've had experience with is...

    Pretty good deal for Tracfone service

    Just passing on what I think is a pretty decent way to get a year of service AND a lot of minutes relatively cheap. This Ebay Ad has an el cheapo Motorola phone (TMFL) WITH a 200 minute/90 day pin for $19.99. So, if you have a TMFL phone, you buy 4 of these phones for eighty bucks, free...

    call from 545-454-5454 ? and a robo-call?

    So, I get this call with a caller-id of 545-454-5454. Right, I'm going to answer that. Did some searching on the number but didn't turn up anything definitive on it. Anyone have any info on it? Has to be a scam of some sort. But that got me to thinking about the calls you get and answer...

    Is there an app to

    force the speaker on no matter what I'm doing? I'd like to just have a widget/app on my home page that forced the ext. speaker on or off. Searched on GP but didn't find anything.

    Time to move the fishtank... ugh...

    Well, I've had a 30 gallon fishtank for the last 20 years. Time for it to move on to a new home. The guys buying it should be here any minute to start breaking it down and taking it away. Yes, it's currently fully setup and running. Not looking forward to the next couple of hours. I have a...

    PSA for folks in NYS: DEC interacts w/Google Earth

    I thought some may be interested in the NYS DEC interactive widgets that work with Google Earth. I don't praise NY much but these are kind of nice. There are quite a few, including Public Fishing, Fishing Streams, Lakes, Land, Horse Trails, Hiking Trailes, etc... . I know that they work on...

    So, what do you folks think about a teen (18yo) suing her parents because they won't pay for her college if she won't obey house rules? A bit more background: Apparently the girl was an honor student but was suspended twice from school (not stated why), had been caught drinking, was stripped...

    LG39C "Case"

    I bought a case that is for the LG Optimus L4 II E440 which DOES fit the L39C with some slight mods. I still don't like it though. The on/off and volume controls are a pita to use with it on. Without it though the phone is rather slippery but a lot thinner too which is nice. I saw on another...

    Sick of winter and white "stuff"?

    Here's a montage of pictures I took last year during a ride through the Catskill mountains in New York. We didn't have a real good year as far as fall foliage went and even with that I missed primetime by a day or two but still... it's not white. ;-) Fall 2013 - YouTube

    Next Browser - how to nuke their icons?

    Someone here reported that NextBrowser was a low resource/fast browser so I figured I'd try it. On my laptops I'm a Firefox/PaleMoon bigot. So I installed NextBrowser onto my LG L39c and the first thing that I can't figure out is: How in the heck do I get rid of their widgets (CNN, You Tube...

    [PSA] For those who own washing machines

    Check your water supply lines periodically. Our cold line was about ready to pop. Braided/stainless lines on that puppy now. Just another one of those things that gets overlooked. Outta sight, outta mind.

    What's the big deal about whatsapp?

    Facebook bought whatsapp for 19mil. So, what's the big deal about whatsapp? If you want to send messages, the receiver also has to have it. It costs $, albeit not much. It uses 3G or wifi... So what? Using Google Voice and Messaging+GV. Free - text anyone whether they have the apps or...

    Full Charge Vibrate app?

    I have an LG39C. My wife has a Samsung S2 which has a nice "feature". Even with the phone turned off, if she has it plugged in charging, it will vibrate when it hits full charge. My LG doesn't do that and I've not found a setting to enable it. I've looked and don't see an app for that...

    What I learned today. (Read as: what I learned to NOT do)

    I debated about where to put this. It could go in Android discussions or it could just as easily fit into the rant thread. I couldn't decide so I figured I'd stick it...... here. :D ok, so I have the LG39c and bought the only case that's even close to fitting it. Other than the phone being...

    Ringtone volume low then increases?

    Probably a SUQ but.... I have an LG L39c. When someone calls me and the phone starts to "ring", the volume of the ringtone is very low and then slowly increases in volume. I've looked for a setting for this but I'll be darned if I can find anything for it. As a noob, I thought maybe this...
