The latest version of Opera Mobile is brilliant. It now matches the Android browser in visual quality but performance is so much faster. Supports Adobe Flash now.
Websites that bring the frame-rate down in the stock-based browsers run fluidly in Opera, even when zooming. And it doesn't sacrifice visual quality like the older versions did.

I'm looking for a good app to follow my news feeds. Google Reader works great, except it doesn't show the full headline in list view. HTC News app shows the full headline but won't allow me to "mark all as read". I prefer reading the full headline in list mode, rather than scrolling to each headline individually but this doesn't mark them as read in most apps. Anybody know of a reader that can show the full headline and has an easy way to mark all as read?

You looking for text or a file?

I normally used Synergy+ to do this between PC's more like sharing the same keyboard and mouse over 2 PC's and it was able to copy text on one screen then move the mouse across to the other and past it. I dont know if there is an Android App or even if it will support it, maybe that can help? This was based on VNC tech so maybe you could also look at the VNC viewers on the market.

Pity Splashtop remote desktop doesn't allow you to paste text that is copied locally,

No copy text. For example copy some text in a word document on your pc, and paste it in an sms on your phone.

I dont know of an app that does this but if I normally want to copy a code or something that is hard to type I normally save it in a text file in my Dropbox folder and open it on the phone to copy/paste, you might even use Everynote. As for URL's I have Firefox on my phone/desktop that syncs across. Some people use Chrome to phone for URL's https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/oadboiipflhobonjjffjbfekfjcgkhco.

I dont think there is an App that does it.

There's only one feed reader I use (on PC and cell phone) that's really user friendly and that's Feedly... It's free and linked to Google Reader so you won't have to re-add all your sources. Definitely worth checking out. :)

Any one know of an app that replicates the iphone "contacts" i like how it shows the Favorite people in the main screen, i know htc sense can do this but it requires you to click groups first.

Go Contacts. Just change the default homescreen to Favourites under its display settings. There are some awesome themes for it as well. :)
