I know it's tempting, but if you get caught snooping around an apartment it can be the end of your business. All it takes is one accusatory online review and you're finished.

You just don't get it do you? Nobody is saying that teachers aren't important. I'm saying that without the private sector, i.e. the sector that creates wealth, there would be no money for schools or teachers.

Lol - Siri cannot understand head nor tail of what I am saying. I keep going back to it to see if the voice recognition has improved but she still makes way too many mistakes to be useful to me. I wish that wasn't the way it was, but...

To forward a text to myself (i.e. to somewhere I can mark it unread) I would have to copy the text, paste it in an email and send the email. Might as well just stick it in a reminder and set the reminder alarm.

Really? Someone told me it did. I know BlackBerry has been able to do this since forever.

You're talking about emails. I know you can mark these as unread. I'm talking about messages (i.e. SMS texts). There is no way to mark these as unread.

And even after this major overhaul of the OS it still hasn't occurred to them to give us the ability to mark message threads as unread. This is incredibly annoying if you read a text that requires later action. You have to either remember to deal with it later, or open another app and write a reminder with an alarm.…

I run a service business in which employees are trusted to enter client's apartments unsupervised every day. The first thing I tell them is, when you're in someone's apartment, assume you're being filmed at all times and act accordingly. So, obviously no stealing stuff, but also no snooping around, looking in drawers,…

In about 15 years time we'll see his mugshot in the newspaper, complete with douchebag goatee, along with a story about him beating his wife.

"Please remove me from your calling list" — ha, if only. Anyone who owns a business with a web presence in this country will probably be familiar with the endless calls from shady SEO companies who claim to be "affiliated with Google" and promise to help you obtain a higher search rank. There is one particular one…

Not so. I'm talking about the point at which you finally come down off the peak just enough to start feeling your body again.

Just drop acid before the concert. You won't even think about water for at least 6 hours.

I don't get it. Why is making the mark within the tape measure any easier/more accurate than marking it above or below the tape measure? And how are those marks going to be any more "level"?

I wish someone would just come up with a retractable headphone cord mechanism that doesn't break after a few weeks. I have a pair of Sony headphones with the retractable cord - you just pull out how much you need and there's a button to suck it back up. Trouble is it wasn't long before the locking mechanism failed and…

Fruit juice....all of the sugar, none of the fiber.

I bet the photo is reversed. Nobody is left handed in real life.

Egg carton sound insulation is a complete and utter myth. Sound passes freely through cardboard. The only way to soundproof a studio effectively is to build a second room inside the studio with an adequate gap between the two. This is a pretty standard soundproofing technique and can be done if you're prepared to make…

The trouble with ear plugs is that they're unpleasant if you have tinnitus, because the silence makes the ringing so much more audible.

I had a sleepless night recently that bothered me so much that I vowed to change. This is what I do now to ensure a good night's sleep:

What kind of lightbulbs do you use around the house? I have a sneaking suspicion that the "full spectrum daylight" varieties are playing havoc with people's pineal glands as well. I was using daylight bulbs until recently when I switched them all out for the regular (and cheaper) soft light variety. It's made my…
