Thanks for all the recommended services, especially flixfindr.com by rewind (which covers Netflix, Amazon, and others). Based purely on my personal experience, I'd like to recommend Netflix's native personalized starring system. Netflix is pretty good at adjusting their average user ratings based on what I like. I…

Public Policy Polling is the best at including lie detector questions, asking things like "Who do you think was more responsible for the poor response to Hurricane Katrina: George W.Bush or Barack Obama?"
I love my stock ROM 7" Kindle Fire HD for Amazon connected activities, Pandora, and Netflix. But I hate it as a general use tablet. No easy Dropbox, SwiftKey, or good browser options on the Amazon store kill its utility. Sideloading is cumbersome and gets wiped out with a full reboot (which I've had to do twice in 2…

So a future moon tourist will gripe, "What the - I flew 239 thousand miles to step on a bag of crap!? Who's in charge of cleaning this place!?"
What if they dipped the dodge ball in white phosphorus instead of gasoline? Then the ball only needs the water protecting the phosphorus from the air to evaporate and it will burst into flame.
They could use a highly flammable rubber for the dodge ball so they wouldn't need to dip the whole ball in phosphorus and risk…
Forgive my ignorance, but how in the world does anyone save 20x their current salary? Taking the $100K/yr example and assuming a 5% matched retirement plan (so 10% of salary invested annually) and a generous 6% annual return on investments, in 30 years we'd have $791K. That's a million short of the $1,800K suggested.

Be Aware of Your Surroundings
I think you've discovered the ultimate pillow for pranking house guests.
Not bad if you're optimizing looks. If optimizing function, my favorite trick is putting half a dozen liners in at once. I pull out the full bag and a new bag is already there waiting.
I find my challenge at controlling the length of my breaks is how to make my breaks effective. When I need a break from responding to work email, I'll habitually open up Facebook or Google News, which offers no break for my eyes and little relief for my hands, back, and brain. Then I wonder why 15 minutes later I…
Sweet - maybe it can turn off the infuriating reverse beep in my 2010 Prius.
inSSIDer 4 is $20 at http://www.inssider.com/, and appears to have Windows and MAC versions. inSSIDer 3 has lots of warnings about bloatware in the reviews at CNET. http://download.cnet.com/inSSIDer/3000-… I haven't tested either myself, but it's worth watching out for with either version.
I like how this tip gives you a time to pace and a time to stand still. I find I have to control my "happy feet" while giving a talk. Having a set a precise times in the talk when I should move sounds better than thinking "don't move, don't move, don't move" for an hour.
Another Chrome tip. For the links to work with Chrome, you need to disallow ADP from working in incognito first. In the upper right hand corner menu that looks like three horizontal lines, go to Settings > Extentions > Adblock Plus Options (chrome-extension://cfhdojbkjhnklbpkdaibdccddilifddb/options.html) and uncheck…
And if like me you don't know how to make and post good videos, you'll be learning two new skills in 100 days.
I like how they cover a group of Ted talks with a specific theme and give the highlights of the whole group of talks in just an hour.
Nice! In the model shown, the VIP mode disables automatically after 72 hours (per the link below). So no need to worry about disabling it manually when you check out. The link also has a how to for another common model.

For me the hardest part is turning the wheel while stopped and listening to four hundred dollars worth of tires grind against the asphalt. The impact on the tires is probably trivial compared to doing 80 on the highway, but that sound makes my wallet cry out in pain.
