Here's a rhetorical question: how do I tell a recruiter that repeatedly sends solicitations to my work account (which is, by the way, unpublished) that he's an idiot, without offending him much?
Something tells me that the person violating the biggest recruiting no-no is too thick to listen to any arguments, so for now he goes to /dev/null. Alternative suggestions welcome.

Android Market Updates: I Give Up
As far as I'm concerned, the main problem with Android Market is drowning in an ocean of shit.
The "default" Android Market is useless - you have to be actively looking for something in order to find it, and it has to be "top". Thus useful, but niche applications go unnoticed. There is no search. There is no feed.
cyrket.com, on the other hand, does provide a feed. Good luck using it, though. Daily volume is over a hundred items, you've missed a weekend - it's over 300, you've had a busy week - it's well over a thousand. Most of it is farts and sexy lady whatever, repeated every few hours (yes, developers have realized that you have to release a new version pretty much every day tostay on top avoid total oblivion).
I've been using the cyrket.com RSS Feed since the day it appeared, but today I'm calling it quits - the signal/noise ration has become loathsome, and I'd rather miss something useful than spend hundreds of non-renewable hours of my life sifting through junk that is flowing at ever increasing speed.
What I would ideally like to see (consider this a free idea) is an Android Market notification service that would allow me to
Then it can become more or less usable. Not before.

What I would ideally like to see (consider this a free idea) is an Android Market notification service that would allow me to
- notify me of totally new applications only;
- notify me of new releases of applications I've subscribed to;
- allow to blacklist publishers, or, even better,
- allow to blacklist anything based on regular expression patterns.
Then it can become more or less usable. Not before.

Life - the way it really is - is a battle not between good and bad, but between bad and worse
