The best file explorer for Windows Mobile just got better: Resco Explorer 2005 V5.30 now lets you safely delete files into a virtual Recycle Bin folder (taking at most 10% of each storage medium) instead of immediate deletion. If a file was deleted accidentally, it's easy to restore it from the Bin folder. Other enhancements:

• Multi-language installation package
• enhanced Bluetooth support
• enhanced SD/CF card folder detection in Today plugin
• easier button navigation
• supports square screen

We have the world at our fingertips now with the world wide web. But the world is a lot to chew on, so most of us have a handful of sites that we visit religiously every day. Not the RSS feeds, or the ones that are bookmarked, but the sites that you can't miss or your day just isn't the same.

What are those sites for you?

To get things started, here are my "can't miss a day" web sites:
* MobileRead (of course!)
* Palm Addict
* PDA24/7
* Woot
* Engadget
* Slashdot
* Gizmodo

In addition, some other sites I like to go to a lot:
* JKontherun
* PocketPCThoughts
* Pocket PC Magazine Blogs
* BlogMaverick
* CBSsportsline

In the interest of brevity, this is not all-inclusive and there are a lot of other fantastic sites I like to visit. But these are a few of those that are really special, and draw me frequently. How about you?

"God's Debris isn't the final answer to the Big Questions (quantum physics, evolution, God, gravity, etc.). But it might be the most compelling vision of reality you will ever read," says its author Scott 'Dilbert' Adams. Yes, it's a free download, no strings attached:

It's free because it’s designed to be discussed with people who have also read it. I’m confident that some percentage of the free e-book readers will be inspired to buy a physical book for friends or for their own collection. And if you like it, you might want to try the sequel, The Religion War, available only in hardcover. At the end of the e-book you’ll find some links to Amazon.com for your impulse-buying pleasure.

The Harvard Crimson reports that iPod users all over the world can now listen and watch Understanding Computers and the Internet, a Harvard Extension School class, by subscribing to its audio and video Podcasts on iTunes.

Harvard is not the first university to offer Podcasted lectures. Princeton University's University Channel Podcasts public lectures from different universities. Executive Director Donna M. Liu said that she is noticing more and more schools capitalizing on the Podcasting trend, whether they offer Podcasts individually or collectively.

Like all Podcasts, Computer Science E-1's feed is available as RSS, and if you are using iTunes, you can also subscribe to the feed directly through iTunes.
