HTC quarterly profits improve by a third, beat even its own lofty expectations
We were impressed with HTC back in April when it forecast a record $1.6 billion revenue for itself over the second quarter, but lo and behold, the Taiwanese superphone maker has gone and outdone that with a $1.88 billion income over the period between April and June.

Facebook icon not showing under account management
I want to sync with facebook but under account management, there is no option for it. The icon IS on the master account, but it doesn't appear on the sub-account, which is the one I use (this one). So my only guess is that it's because it's a sub-account and there is some kind of security on it....
