ed: "worse than"

There is nothing worth than having an hour of free time and wasting it on searching for something to watch instead of actually watching something.

I like dropbox for backing up / sharing photos. My and my wife's smartphones both auto upload photos to our shared dropbox account. It's great for sharing pics of the kids, but it's really great for sharing the grocery/shopping list. When she's at the store and forgot to take a picture of the whiteboard, she'll text…

I find addressing who I want a response from works better than relying on people to notice if they were in the to: or the cc:. I start every email with something like "Hi, Joe" or "Hi, Jane and Jack". That way the first words of the email make it clear who it's for.

Easy — smoke.

I find the recent site changes a little distracting, but I understand that it's still a work in progress. After the big redesign, I went from checking lifehacker 6 times a day to 6 times a year. Remember how terrible that was. The site just wasn't fun to look at anymore. I've only recently started actively visiting…

Missed opportunity to name this Chrome extension Chromelingus.

This is why you don't end up in court over your baby's name.

On behalf of those of us with the cord still cut, thank you. High quality television is insanely expensive to make. An hour long drama or scifi show hangs around the $2 million per episode mark. Breaking Bad is especially expensive at $3 million per episode. It's the people who are willing to watch tv with commercials…

I'm waiting for Swype to come out with a maximum size feature. There's no reason for Swype to expand to fit the whole bottom of the screen. Swype is optimized for smaller screens, so an option that let it take up just a corner of a big screen would be great.

What about the BPA lining in the keg? Gizmodo reminds us it's the same lining that's in beer cans. I'm concerned how that would respond to the heat.

On the flip side of it's kind of creepy to go to an occupied playground without your kid in tow, it's worth noting that distracted caregivers, e.g. parents texting instead of watching their kids, is believed to be a cause of a recent spike in playground injuries (see Jezebel link below).

So working out instead of…

No love for Mog?!
Some interested in Google Play All Access might prefer Mog Primo at the same cost. Mog has free and $5 versions too.

I will be eagerly awaiting the Lifehacker article on how best to split up your long-shared account. My wife and I have both entered 100's of movie ratings and have a massive shared watching history. It'll be a nightmare to tease it apart and an equal nightmare to start from scratch.

Sweet pre-commitment tool. "I'm only going to surf the web for 10 minutes." I've fooled myself with that line plenty of times. Now I can take a mere 5 seconds to set a timer in the same tool I'm using to goof-off; removing the burden of making the pre-commitment. Nice.

What are you doing?! LifeHackers worship productivity. You are practically desecrating our favorite idol!

I liked how TigerC10 responded for someone just getting interested. I'm offering a similar take.

1. That's a horrible idea.
