This is a simple but handy tip while using Google Maps in a browser or on an iPhone. Here’s the scenario: I’m in NYC attending a conference near Grand Central Terminal. Needing a coffee fix, I whip out my iPhone, use the locator button to find my rough location, and type ‘coffee’ into the search bar. Nine of the ten results were Starbucks.

Digsby is a multiprotocol IM client that also acts as both an email notifier and social networking tool. Since all of this functionality takes up quite a bit of memory, you are wasting resources by leaving it running when you don’t need it.
