I just restarted Google Chrome after clearing out my cache, and found a link in my tabs box showing a themes tab: I thought: Wait a second, Chrome has themes?! Hadn’t heard of that one.

Or even if you see a process and don’t know exactly what it is doing, and you are just curious what it is up to? As with most issues there are several ways to skin this cat. You can use tcpdump or wireshark to sniff the all of the network traffic on the device. If you know the port the program is running on (you can use lsof for that), you can restrict traffic to that port.

Cricket Wireless is relatively new in my area (Philadelphia), having only started providing service in March of 2009. They have been in other markets since 1999.
