Awww, Daylight Savings Time, when the day never seems to end. Are you PDA-ready?
Unfortunately, the new Daylight Savings Time changes (it's been extended from March 11 to November 4) may leave your smart phone out of sync with the rest of the nation after this weekend. No one wants to be late for a barbecue because their PDA hasn't been upgraded with the latest patch!
So head on over to your smart phone's OS website -- and update your gizmo before the Sunday morning time change makes you late.

Your cell phone's pretty cool, isn't it? Takes pictures, videos, sends messages, browses the web, blah, blah, blah. Guess what? The rest of the world -- especially Europe and Asia -- thinks your super-cool phone is about as rad as two tin cans and a string.
It turns out that the slow-moving Federal Communications Commission and fickle consumers keep the United States cell phone market pretty backwards compared to the rest of the world. For instance, in Japan, the Sharp 905SH phone allows users to watch TV -- and record their favorite shows as well to watch on its swivel screen, just like portable TiVo. In fact, Japan has a digital broadcast standard in place just for cell phones.
