Actually, Apple has reasons WHY they don't want to. I'm not saying they're good ones, but essentially what it comes down to is they're saying their 30-pin adapters are better, and it'd hurt customers who have bought third-party devices for their iPods/iPhones, the third-party companies, etc. Doesn't meat it's a

I recently switched from Delivery Status to trackthepack, which has a website counterpart, like Delivery Status, at trackthepack.com, but also offers push notifications, unlike Delivery Status. Well, Delivery Status does, if you have a Mac, and you're running the dashboard widget, and blahblah. Well, I have a Mac,

You ever read a word so many times that it stops making sense? "Lifehacker" in the title, the main image, on the right of the "article/ad thing", on the cover of the book, a dozen times in the text... Whew. I mean, it's cool and all, you guys can plug yourselves on your own site, just a LOTTA your logo over and

This is why we can't have nice things!

THIS. I've always shaken my head at the whole "breeding ground for bacteria" stuff. Yes, your meat will breed bacteria if it sits at room temperature. But thawing it is taking it from frozen, getting it JUST to room temp, and then cooking it to well above what those bacteria are going to be able to survive at. At

I'm sure they're already working on it, based on their previous reactions to such things.

*snrk* That's exactly the kind of comment I was expecting to read on this article. Thank you. XD

I wear a baseball cap most of the time. I grab it by the bill and in one smooth movement flip it off my head and into the offending insect, be it fly, wasp, spider, whatever. At the very least I'll smack it out of the air and disorient it, then step on it. Typically, however, one smack kills it dead.

Exactly the sort of thing I was thinking. Not to mention, the article he linked to says very clearly "Depending on your jurisdiction, you cannot even be approached until you've left the store premises. This isn't universally true, and often the act of concealment of store property is enough evidence to have you

Let me just say that I wish I had a job that justified 2 iMacs, 2 Mac Pros, and a PC. I'd love to have all that gear crammed into one room. ;) Looks nice and clean, though, I like it.

I'm willing to bet they'll want to see some receipt on the phone at the door. My real issue with this is if there's some kind of issue where your phone might crash or something to that effect you could lose the receipt somehow and not have proof you bought the item.

Very nice. Now my texts can stop getting in the way of my playing Plants vs. Zombies which is where about 50% of my iPhone's battery goes each day...

That and chaining your bike to a bike rack like that, so no one else can use the thing very easily? Real dick move, in my opinion. lol

I swear the iPhone thing has been there for a long time... since iOS 4 or maybe even 3?

Sorry, but I'm not going to base my goals for happiness on a book written thousands of years ago. Imagine if doctor's based their jobs on something that outdated. I'm pretty happy overall and frankly the only bad thing to happen to me today was being preached at in a place where I don't believe such things belong.

I'd love to know any good tips for re-heating pizza. The oven makes it too crunchy, toasting it or something, the microwave makes it flat-out soggy, etc. Some decent middle ground would be good. I hate to order a small pizza since the price of a large is much more reasonable, but I also hate throwing out the crusts

It's been my experience that MANY people who have asthmatic issues, especially ones that can be triggered by cigarette smoke, or even a significantly strong smell of cigarette smoke (as an associative reflex kind of thing) tend to say they are "allergic to cigarette smoke" because it's easier to say that than to go

No offense but your post was very convoluted and I'm not sure if you were agreeing with the developer of Instapaper's comment or not... As I said, I don't agree with him, just wanted to let the Android users out there know why they don't have an app.

In an old post from the creator of Instapaper he explains why he has no interest in the Android market. Specifically:

I absolutely feel the ability to tether should be free with any and all limited data plans. It shouldn't matter whether I'm using that data purely from my phone or from my phone attached to my laptop. I can almost understand them wanting to charge for it when people do it on unlimited plans since it can
