I'm skeptical too. I clean mine once, or a couple years twice, every winter since the heat it generates isn't minded. That's been about 8 or 10 times by now, and our Whirlpool oven hasn't had a problem. But, if I do run into problems, now I know another possible culprit.

Well, if/when merchants start adding a surcharge, I'll determine if it's a wash, but for now, I'll take my extra rewards, which any smart merchant would have figured into the cost of what I'm buying already and priced it accordingly.

First, this should work to disable the pin and password lockscreens with unrooted phones, but your device needs to be rooted to disable pattern lockscreen, according to the Secure Settings website: http://www.intangibleobject.com/. If rooted, also install the helper application for Secure Settings to disable the…

I also use Tasker to apply the screen filter plugin at night, but I do it every night because my phone's screen is too bright, even on the lowest setting, that it blinds me to look at with the lights off. Also when it switches on the screen filter, it mutes all the volumes, except the alarm and in-call volumes, which…

" Every internet user has developed a healthy dose of skepticism..." Really? You think so?

Sometimes complaining is venting frustration about a situation that the person thinks is better left alone than addressing the problem. And there are right places to vent (perhaps an empathetic friend) and wrong places (maybe a comments section where empathy might be lacking and is instead taken as a complaint). Seems…

Maybe the title should specify a charcoal kettle grill, because my Weber gas grill's hot spots are closest to the input of the gas which is in the right side, and it gets cooler the further down the length of the burner you go (and obviously overall the temperature can be manipulated by increasing or decreasing the…

I don't think that's a Google Voice thing, I think it's baked into Android because I have it on my Galaxy S, and it's there in the dialer, outside of Google Voice.

We had an air popper when I was growing up, and that's what I still use today.

VOTE: SERENITY

We're also two years out from the Samsung Galaxy S not the Galaxy SII #corrections

The illegal part has nothing to do with your phone in this instance, it's to do with using software (Siri) without a license on that device.

Until there is one, I'm using SkyDrive Browser, and it seems to work well. I had been using SoRaMi until recently, but the dev closed up shop when Microsoft changed the way to connect to SkyDrive, which probably had everything to do with these new apps.

I did this last year, giving some applewood smoked sea salt that I bought online, and some homemade vanilla extract and vanilla sugar using vanilla pods I got online, and some of my homemade sourdough starter. These were all things I was using at home, and figured I'd share with family members.

We installed these in both toilets in our home about a month ago, after seeing this advertised at the store. The kits are easy enough for us to install, though we had to convert one of them from a Mansfield system so we had to take off the tank and install a flapper system, and on the other one, the "1" flush didn't…

Sounds like a job for Mythbusters. Then at the end, they could blow up the washing machine.

"CamelCamelCamel only works for Amazon, however, but the data is still a good indicator of when prices may drop elsewhere as well." CamelBuy.com works for Best Buy, CamelEgg.com works for Newegg, CamelCamper works for Backcountry and CamelSounds.com works for Zzounds

I too ended up using PlastX on my headlights a couple weeks ago after doing a few days of research on the topic. It sounds like the leading reason headlights get hazy again is because the UV protection is stripped away from the headlights after being sanded. This is why I went the PlastX route, figuring if my…

A while ago, I got motivated to have Tasker do something like this after reading about police possibly accessing phone data if it's not password-protected. I hadn't done a password on my SGS before, and went with the pattern lock and downloaded the Secure Settings plug-in which is required for phones running 2.2+. …

Anyone know if this would work for the BBC iPlayer apps that just came out? I suspect they'd check the location of the connection like they do on the website.
