Reading Time: < 1 minute I just upgraded my HTC Magic with Android 1.5 from the official release on the HTC website and I was surprised to see that all my settings, sms, contacts and pictures have been erased… So I had to reconfigure everything. Luckily one of my colleague is more persistant than me and got it all sorted.

Reading Time: < 1 minute Flight of the concords!
2 Kiwis living in the US. They form a band called the Flight of the Concords (how do you come up with such a name??). They are a bit nerdy and freaky but they are good enough to make at least 2 or 3 songs per episod.

Watch it, it’s fun!
