While I don't own an Android phone, and I have disdain for telephones (and other sorts of interruptions), I'd use up all my unused minutes all just to fill up their disk space.

Very cool. I won't have anyone to call, since nobody loves me. But I'll use it ... maybe I can call myself when I buy a new phone! And while I'm empathetic to your disdain for phones, you can't possibly be saying you dislike slick, powerful, palm-sized computational devices. Especially with apps like these:

Re: prism-break - I've been trying to use DuckDuckGo for quite a long time. I just can't break the google habit, though. I've tried to split my searches between ddg, yahoo, and alpha. But the "search tools" feature on google is what keeps me coming back.
E.g. I saw _news_ of a recently published article on the relationship between low gut biome genetic diversity and obesity. But like so much "news", they don't go into any depth and don't properly cite their sources. So, I tried using ddg to find the new articles. The top results were decent, journal articles from 2011 and such. But in the end, I used google, set the search for the past week, and sure enough, up it pops.
I know it's bad form to ask for advice. So, I'll stop just short and say that if anyone _does_ have advice for how to use ddg (or even yahoo for yog's sake) to better effect, I'd be grateful.
