The reason GMAIL is the hands-down choice is because of how it integrates into all other Google services; plus anyone with an Android phone can hook into it the easiest. But for me, it's those two things PLUS — and this is a big one — GMAIL uses the best-of-breed POSTINI spam filtering system. In fact, if memory…

Sadly, I have an older DSLR that uses compact flash, so I can't use this as universally as I'd like; yet I have one. Plus, I have its predecessor which has not USB hub, but has the compact flash. In fact, I have two: One velcro'd onto the front of my HP all-in-one printer because said printer's gang of card reader…

Yes. I have not only the one being talked about in this article, but also its predecessor. They both handle all the Olympus cards, old and new (all our cameras — lemee think... um... five, no six of them — are Olympus cameras).

You are absolutely correct, gadgetron3000! Though, that said, there are upsides and downsides; and, the "unbanked," as the debit card industry calls them, almost have no choice. This is a subject that's in my wheelhouse, and so I've explained it all — and more — along with some good advice, in a quote long, but…

From the article: I switched to Simple a few months ago and it has made managing my finances far easier than Bank of America.

You can also delete the posting on your page that happens whenever you "like" something; that, though, doesn't remove it from the likes on your "About" page. So the suggestion, here, is a good one. A far better one, though, is to never use social networking as so many stupid people do. Never write anything, or…

From the article: The most recent study suggests 40 million to 80 million network-enabled devices responded to discovery requests from the internet and are vulnerable to an attack that gives hackers access to webcams, printers, passwords, and more.

This is all very interesting, but entirely pointless, given the Chrome apps that are out there.

Excellent article... and every bit of it true. Thank you, Thorin!

Hey! Lookee there! I've been doing it right for YEARS, according to this article.

Duplicating (or so replicating that it's effectively the same as duplicating) the active ingredients and their effects is the primary goal of generic drug makers. However, any even only reasonable substitute (that's obviously far less expensive) for inactive ingredients, as long as they don't manifestly change the…

Yeah... that's what I was thinking.

One of MY biggest disappointments of 2012 has been clicking on a "biggest disappointments of 2012" link on LifeHacker, and ending-up here...

I don't know how to more strongly convey this; but I do know that people who think they're writers will challenge me on it: No one can really and truly properly edit themselves. Period. They just can't. It's the literary equivalent of the whole "person who acts as his own lawyer having a fool for a client" thing. …

Wow. Elizabeth... your nice words to me, beneath your earlier article, back atcha'.

I should first say that I'm not an atheist... or even an agnostic. My Christian faith is deep and abiding, and I even have a nearly-full-time ministry of agency/advocacy to/for the homeless, the indigent elderly, disabled vets, the prostituted, recent parolees, and others similarly in need...

Wow. Such cynicism in the responses, here. And most of them pretty much procedural. This solution, though, if it's even required, must begin philosophically.

@Tessa Miller: All the time.

@muttonchopbaby: Ha! Well put. My thoughts, exactly!
