I found this awesome Windows powershell script that allows you to install fonts via the command line.  This is very convenient for mass deployment.

$ssfFonts = 0x14
$fontSourceFolder = "\\PATH\TO\FONTS"
$Shell = New-Object -ComObject Shell.Application
$SystemFontsFolder = $Shell.Namespace($ssfFonts)
$FontFiles = Get-ChildItem $fontSourceFolder
$SystemFontsPath = $SystemFontsFolder.Self.Path
$rebootFlag = $false

foreach($FontFile in $FontFiles) {
    # $FontFile will be copied to this path:
    $targetPath = Join-Path $SystemFontsPath $FontFile.Name
    # So, see if target exists...
    if(Test-Path $targetPath){
        # font file with the same name already there.
        # delete and replace.
        $rebootFlag = $true
        Remove-Item $targetPath -Force
        Copy-Item $FontFile.FullName $targetPath -Force
    }else{
        #install the font.
        $SystemFontsFolder.CopyHere($FontFile.fullname)
    }
}

#Follow-up message
if($rebootFlag){
    Write-Host "At least one existing font overwritten. A reboot may be necessary."
}

I don't particularly like Facebook's cover photo feature, so I didn't particularly like it when JomSocial followed suit.  Here's how to disable JomSocial's cover photo feature altogether.

Since Blackberry is essentially dead in Japan, I face a pesky challenge of getting Japanese text input to work on Blackberries I receive from our head office.  Unfortunately, several other guides on the web explaining how to manually install BB firmware are out of date and no longer work.  To make matters worse, the Blackberry Desktop software keeps refusing to use the BB firmware I downloaded and installed.

I think I finally figured it out...

While Apple technically calls it "iPhone IMEI database whitelisting," it's better known around the web as a factory unlock--a process that allows your iPhone to be used on any carrier's network.  Unlike a jailbreak unlock, a factory unlock stays with the phone even if you upgrade iOS, wipe the phone, etc.  It saves you from the hassles associated with jailbreaking.  Apple makes it clear that your mobile phone carrier is the only one that can officially unlock your iPhone.  Therefore, sites offering third-party iphone unlock services are fraudulent "businesses" by definition.  Like any black market, the risk of getting scammed is beyond sky high--it's virtually guaranteed.  Here are some thoughts if you are pondering the dark path of rogue unlock services.
