As Tuner said, you really don’t need an anti-virus…yet. I use iTunes (as much as I hate it) to create ringtones.

So based on the Sprint phone buy back program, the iPhone 3GS 16GB is worth more than the Atrix 4G. The Atrix is also only worth $30 more than the iPhone **3G** 16GB…How does that even make sense?

My new favorite app is the fios tv remote. If you wanna mess with your g/f while your outside, in another room, or just working in the garage then get this app. She will get so pissed wondering how the channel keeps changing.

A note one that app. It only works on HD set-top boxes and you need to install the widget on the TV beforehand. I’ve used it a couple times when I can’t find the remote. It works over the network so you don’t need to point it directly at the TV.
