I would say, omit the bit about temporary files, unless you really notice a shortage of disk space. The worst thing you can do is to delete something you really need in the interest of saving a few tens of mb or something. A 1TB hard drive: $90.

Good luck with this. The bad habits listed here have been a problem since email crawled out of the primordial bit-soup.

Four hours? It sounds like Abe needed to spend an hour or two finding a quicker way to sharpen his axe.

Yeah, because, you know, my friends and I never like to enjoy a nice cold beer while sitting around the fire. The minute that fire starts, in fact, everyone tends to pour their beer out and toss the bottles into the reversible flip over trash can/recycle bin.

I have a very nice dishwasher, have had it since my son was born 3 years ago. (I was persuaded that it was a good idea to sterilize baby bottles in one, which as it turns out, is not really necessary at all. Huh.) My mother loves her dishwasher and wouldn't dream of living without one. But I was resistant, as it…

By 2050 things will have changed . . . a lot. Also, people wanting to travel halfway round the world will also be a lot more numerous. Right now that kind of flight takes about 20 to 30 hours and requires at least one stop and a great deal of fuel. It will probably be cheaper to do what this space plane does and leave…

You don't get it. Sure it's just a circular building. But you can write APPS for it. Can't find the bathroom on the third floor. THERE'S AN APP FOR THAT.

Well, you know, go right ahead, but . . . there is absolutely nothing here that is remotely useful enough to start mucking with my system or adding clutter-apps that jam up the system tray or startup folder etc. These kinds of little utilities eventually can become the death of Windows, and tend to lead to all kinds…

This review is exactly what it needs to be and really cuts to the quick of whether or not this tool is for you. I have a rather large lawn that's now about 40% crabgrass and so I'm thinking it's not for me. There's a decent chemical solution that kills the crabgrass and not the lawn, I'll probably stick with that.…

I was just in the act of buying a USB hard drive to plug into my existing WiFi router. It's about $120 for 2TB. Then I saw this with much interest. And I went ahead and bought the 2TB USB drive.

Umm. First of all, the user has to 'connect' his other accounts to Google in order for any of this sharing to happen. I would assume that by authorizing Google to connect to your Facebook or Twitter or whatever other account, you might get the inkling that Google would have some idea what's in those other accounts.…

Obviously, having a lot less bezel would mean the device could be smaller. That would be great. It would also mean you'd have to hold the thing very carefully all the time to avoid your 'holding' fingers from operating the touch screen. Than would be not great.

Given that a normal curtain has almost zero efficacy at blocking out sounds, and this one is five times better . . . well, I'm just guessing I'll probably still not be able to sleep through the weed blower or the trash truck rolling by.

They need to stop making them? Just because you personally don't want one and may never want one?

This is an interesting concept, but it's quite abstract, so much so that it just comes off as yet more self-improvement fluff. How about some concrete examples of how this theory could be applied. Like say someone (like the author mentioned) is very curious. That's a very vague general quality. Applying that…

Another 'iOS is still ahead in this statistic' story. And this statistic is only for the U.S. which the post doesn't mention. At 350,000 Android activations a day - and the curve is steeply upwards - it seems this measurement too will soon enough succumb to the Android army.

Yes. I love a good wine, but there is a ton of good wine these days available for cheap. I seldom pay more than $6-8. You have to try what's available and see what you like, but that's a cheap proposition and fun as well. True, once in a while I get to taste a good expensive wine and it's nice. But. You can't…

You will pry the icemaker from my cold dead hands. It ranks up there with the wheel and beer on my list of best inventions ever. I bought a refrigerator many years ago, and it didn't have one. It's a common brand and a few years later I found the plug-in icemaker for it on line. Works fantastically.

A lot of people are discounting this because 9 scale quakes or anything near that don't happen in many of these areas. But remember the earthquake and tsunami are indirect causes - Fukushima basically suffered a double electrical failure, of primary and backup electricity, that caused the cooling systems to stop.…

Yes, absolutely you can get a nice photo from a 3MP sensor. I notice you don't claim that you can get an awesome shot from a 0.7 MP sensor. You can't.
