Download a file with command prompt
Download.exe is a valuable command utility that you can use to download any file or number of files by having the download location. This is really handy if you'd like to setup a script that will download all the files from an ftp server straight to a desired location via a quick batch operation. It's certainly useful to have in your toolbox just in case you need it. I imagine a good use for this would be for synchronizing environments, media, or perhaps creating a download script that puts all your useful utilities in to the windows path of a new machine ready for use.

Google search for images updated
If you've done an image search lately you might have noticed that Google has improved their image search significantly. Some of the new features added allow for refining your search results based on color, type, and size. It appears that they have done away with the "Gooooogle" type page results and opted for a simplified scroll and load approach seems easier and efficient to scan through. Some of these features were already available on Bing unbeknownst to me at the time. Bing may not be the search engine of choice but they are certainly adding some original ideas that even google can appreciate.

HTC Evo My Two Cents
The HTC Evo has been released by Sprint and so far it's been shaking things up in the Android world. The Evo has proven to be a big hit for Sprint and a worthy opponent to rival the recent release of the iPhone 4. I have taken the plunge with Sprint and dropped my T-Mobile Mytouch for this upgrade and I am quite satisfied. The phone is VERY snappy and responsive, something the Mytouch lacked due to it's processor limitations. The screen is bright and colorful albeit not as good as the new iPhone 4's new screen but unless you had them bumped up against each other - you wouldn't notice.
The Bad:
Android App AndFTP
For a while I have been trying to find a good solution for getting files on my android phone without the need for connecting it to a PC. This is when I found "AndFTP", this lightweight app is exactly what I needed. This app is real handy for connecting to your FTP and downloading any files you'd like. This is especially helpful to get media files such as music or movies straight to your device while you are on the move and don't want to connect to a PC and wait for the transfer. Check it out - it's FREE.
