Avoiding jet lag with continuous clock change
One of your editors, Andrew Flegg, has written a blog post about a technique for beating jet lag: I trust a clock when I see it. So if I can convince myself that the time isn't changing in one big jump, jet lag is less of an issue. I used to do this with my watch: every two hours on a ten hour flight with an eight hour time difference: move my watch forward two hours. By speeding up, or slowing down, time I find it excellent for transitioning gradually to my destination timezone. Andrew plans on developing it into an app.

2G/3G switcher and MediaKeys tweaks for N9

AllBoutN9 has a follow-on to their previous article on "toggle" applications (which essentially replicate the functionality of statusbar plugins of old with application icons) with two new applications, 2G3G and MediaKeys: [2G3G] by Jacobo Guderzo lets you switch between 2G and 3G cellular networks. It's useful, since 2G connection uses less battery consumption and isn't always necessary while you're not using internet actively. 2G3G won't work in any way if the N9 is connected to a Wi-Fi network, nor when only 2G is available. [...] If you use the N9 a lot to listen to you music collection, Jacobo Guderzo's [MediaKeys] might be made for you. It manipulates the two physical volume buttons and gives them an additional function: Switching songs. With MediaKeys you still can change the volume, but also skip or rewind a song by holding the buttons about a second long. There are several option you can choose from - but the application needs to run in the background. Both applications are available from Nokia Developer (links provided at the article, as well as a link to the previous "toggle" application article and its featured applications).
