      Problems. There are 6 variants of Android. Most users are on one of the oldest.

      This fracturing of the Android OS as well as the problems caused by differing hardware form factors (keyboard or no keyboard; 5 hard button or 6?) only add to the woes of consumers and developers.

      As an old Windows Mobile user I can remember applications that required actioning with a hardware button that was either not easily accessible on my device or simply didn't exist.

      Apple takes a lot of flak for its closed proprietary iPhone OS, but it does mean that the vast majority of users are always on the latest release and developers can rely on which buttons to program for.

      Official Gmail Blog: New in Labs: Nested Labels and Message Sneak Peek

      Labels are more flexible than folders because a given email can have several labels but can't be in several folders at the same time. A highly requested feature for labels, though, comes from the world of folders: the ability to organize labels hierarchically.

      If you think this might be useful to you, go to the Gmail Labs tab under Settings, look for "Nested Labels," enable it and click "Save." You'll then need to name your label with slashes (/) to make it the child of another. For example, let's say you wanted to create a simple hierarchy with a "Home" label, and inside it a "Family" and a "Vacation" label. Just create three labels with the following names:

      Home
      Home/Family
      Home/Vacation

      You can then create "Home/Family/Kids," "Home/Pets," etc., to get something like the screenshot on the left. If you had the parent label "Home" before you don't have to create it from scratch.

    Nik is pondering life in his mid-30's and is fearing that his parents might have been right all the time.

    During his ever increasing years he has discovered
    *that short hair is better than long
    *Thai food is funky
    *Your kids only pretend to like your music.
    *You can never have enough gadgets
    *Jean-Paul Sartre was right
    *Gardening and DIY are boring
    *The Velvet Underground were the greatest band ever. Period!
