Video: How to really speed up your Google search, without installing anything
I am absolutely livid right now. Google, a company who I absolutely love and admire, used deceit and misinformation to promote their product.

Be able to tell the time wherever you are in S60: TimeBar
S60 3.2 fixes a fault that all other previous versions of S60 has: you can’t tell what time it is unless you switch to the standby screen. I present you with TimeBar. Looks like this application gives you a clock where you expect it to be, plus has the ability to notify you on the…
