Ready for Cyber Monday? Start Right Now!
After a Black Friday weekend of widespread online discounting, nearly nine in ten retailers nationwide will offer special deals to entice shoppers to participate in Cyber Monday.
The day has been called Cyber Monday since 2005, when Web-traffic trackers noticed millions of shoppers flooded online sites after returning to work from the holiday weekend.
Before start your "hunt" I suggest to visit the CyberMonday.com (CyberMonday.com highlights the best deals from over 700 online retailers)to get an impression what is hot and what is not and then narrow your search.

Skype Mobile 3.0 For Windows Smartphones (Smart Solution)
Maybe you know that Skype canceled downloads of Skype Mobile for Windows based phones. Their motivation - the need to improve quality of Skype Mobile Beta 3.0, but in reality it is all about the money. Skype is getting to launch pre-install versions for Verizon, also they got a deal with Nokia, therefore a free version of Skype Mobile will be non-existent pretty soon. But there is a trick, if you have this version on your phone before you can still use it at least for the end of 2010.
I found the .CAB file on the net, installed it in my WM 6.5 phone and it works!
Here is a link to Skype Mobile Beta 3.0 for Windows Mobile Phones.

Smartphones Security Warning
Smartphones are cellular telephones that also offer Internet accessibility, texting and e-mail capabilities and a variety of programs commonly called “apps,” or applications.
“Smartphones are essentially becoming regular computers,” said Vinod Ganapathy, assistant professor of computer science in Rutgers’ School of Arts and Sciences. “They run the same class of operating systems as desktop and laptop computers, so they are just as vulnerable to attack by malicious software, or ‘malware.’”
How could someone mess with your smartphone? By using malware called “rootkits,” which could corrupt the operating system on your phone. Rootkit attacks on smart phones or upcoming tablet computers could be more devastating because smart phone owners tend to carry their phones with them all the time. What makes rootkits particularly dangerous is that they are a different sort of malicious software than would attack your personal computer.
Here are three potential ways that your smart phone could be compromised using a rootkit, according to the Rutgers researchers:
1. Someone could eavesdrop on one of your calls (sort of a like a bug on your phone, without the actual bug), by turning on the microphone without you knowing it
2. Someone could use the location tracking information on your device to watch where you are
3. Someone could drain your battery from afar, which would leave you literally powerless from a communications standpoint
A piece of malware could enter your phone via the Bluetooth connection that connects your wireless earpiece or via a text message.

How I Upgraded My Old Dash To Windows Mobile 6.5
I did it myself and the result was truly amazing. It was like a getting a 'new' phone for free.
I got my Dash (HTC Excalibur) 3 years ago and at that time it was a decent phone. I really like the keyboard, slim body and reliability. It came with WM 5 (!), then I got WM 6.1, it was OK for a while, but then I started to think about getting a new one until the solution came form xda-developers - free WM 6.5. I've decided to give it a try and put WM 6.5 in it, and you know what - I'll keep my old Dash for a little bit longer, BG. Even colors of screen became more crispier and brighter, and when I winded up a clock of processor (application included in the package) - my old Dash became blazing fast. I love it!!!
