Some companies have donation matching programs for charities they support. It's worth looking into.

Please, please tell me what Tasker scripts you used! Links to download them would be very much appreciated.

The tricky thing about having Hive Fives with physical products is that very people have had in-depth experience with two, let alone more, of them.

Here's a question: Can an Android 2.3 device be the recipient of a Bluetooth tether? I have a Galaxy Nexus with a faux-4G connection that I would like to share with an OG Droid.

1) The dwarves from the Hobbit

I would actually recommend NOT installing all of them on your new phone. Assuming you bought them all from the Play Store or the Amazon App Store, they are all only a few screen taps away. Wen you first get the phone, install the apps that you KNOW you're going to use. After that only install apps when you need them.

How does it hold up to productive use, though? That screen is going to suck a lot of power

@Scragglykat? Really? I haven't seen that option. How do I get to that setting? I'm not questioning you; I just didn't realize it was there :-)

Does the Nexus 10 really get 11 hours of battery life? I thought Engadget's review pegged it at 7-something hours. I would love a Nexus 10, but I'd really like something that will last a full day on one charge.

Groupon had a great deal on a PQI wireless flash drive. I'd really like one because I have a Nexus phone with no expandable storage, but I'm really trying to cut back on my spending. Here's a link to the product on Amazon: http://amzn.to/U7fImj

No. MATLAB for the win! That software is AMAZING!

I'm trying to get rid of some of my old gadgets (so I can buy new gadgets!). My Droid X is a tricky gadget, though, because a year ago I had my driver's license number engraved on it in two places, the back and in the battery compartment. Besides the obvious decrease in resale value, is there any reason not to sell

The Pirate Bay article is worth reading just for the few technical details. It's pretty impressive how "raid-proof" they've designed the system to be.

I would like to point out that both FreedomPop and NetZero run off of Clearwire's WiMAX network, so their coverage should be, in theory, identical

Well, that escalated quickly

I was about to say the exact same thing. Plus, an Android phone can function as a musical alarm clock.

I second SpunkyTheMunky. Google Maps has a good offline feature. I don't think it caches business names and locations, though.

If anyone is remotely interested in maps, I cannot recommend Ken Jennings' Maphead highly enough. The first chapter is a little dry, but the rest of it is incredibly interesting. I learned a lot from reading it.

What do lifehackers suggest for backing up photos online? Here is what I'm looking for:
