There are times when you wanna’ browse somewhere in Safari that you don’t want others to know about. When doin’ this, you wanna’ clear your history.

You clean your history by going into your bookmarks, then going to history, then tapping the clear button. Easy enough.

But here are two tips I’ve got for ya. When you go to clear your history, make sure to close all tabs. Once you have only one web page open, navigate to a safe web page, such as Google.com. Then go and clear your history.

The reason why it’s best to do this is because I’ve noticed if you close out web pages and navigate somewhere else, then close, once opened it sometimes will open the web pages that were supposed to cleared from the history.

The other tip is that clearing your history doesn’t log you out of web pages. If you are logged into a web page, log out before you close that tab and clear the history.

And that’s it… Real simple, but if you don’t follow these simple steps, you may end up with some of your web browsing exposed. Be safe with your browsin’ now…

Palringo, although it’s got a stupid name, is the best app for instant messaging. Not only that, but it’s completely free and… and… it’s ad-free! Yeah baby.

Go to the app store to find out exactly everything it does. But in a nut shell, Palringo let’s you sign into all the major IM services, at once. This means Google Talk, AIM, Yahoo, Messenger… the main ones and more.

You do have to sign up for a free account with Palringo, but this is a good thing. There are a lot of people that have two groups of people to contact. Let’s say work and personal. You have 2 Gmail screen names for each group, but you wanna be able to talk to them both. With Palringo, you just log into your Palringo account and all services are there.

But let’s say a comedian uses this. He has two main online aliases. “Mr. Winky”, which is for his fans, and “Bob”, for his family, friends and people he works with. In addition, for “Mr. Winky”, he has Google Talk, AIM, Yahoo and MSN screen names. For “Bob”, he has Google Talk and AIM screen names.

He won’t wanna’ talk to his idiot fans while he’s trying to have a serious conversation with his sister. With Palringo, he can setup two accounts with Palringo. One that contains all of his IM services for “Mr. Winky” and one for “Bob”.

With this baby, I was able to uninstall both AIM and Google Talk because I now have this. This free program has so many great features, and I’d get into’em, but my *** is tired so I’m goin’ to sleep.

Peace, J

Update:

Ok, so I said Palringo was ad-free. It’s not, there is an ad when you first start an IM with someone. But, once you get a few lines of text goin’, the ad scrolls up with the text window. After that, you don’t see any ads at all. So I still consider it ad free.

Of any phones I’ve seen, iPhones have got to be one of the best at switching call audio from Bluetooth. Most phones I’ve worked with have all been so complex to work with in switching audio from a Bluetooth device, such as a GPS, to the cell phone’s speaker. In fact, a lot of phones can’t even switch audio, they’ll try to just disconnect. When this happens, the Bluetooth device can actually try to reconnect back to your phone when your trying to talk on the phone.

But with iPhones, it’s so easy and fun. Take my Lexus for example. When I hop in my ride, I turn Bluetooth on the NeoCell. Once I start the car up, the GPS connects to the NeoCell. I can then dial and take calls from the GPS touch screen while my phone’s in my pocket. Once I’m on a call, I can choose (on the iPhone’s screen) whether to switch audio from the car to the phone’s speakers.

What’s great about this is that I can switch the audio right back to the car no problem. This is the only phone I’ve worked with that’s been so great to use like this for Bluetooth.
