thank you! I don't understand how so many people don't see this comparison.

I know that technically "the psychology behind it is a little iffy", but gamification definitely works really well for some people. I started using HabitRPG a month or so ago, and got a few friends to join me a few weeks ago, and we've all seen a huge benefit from it. Obviously this won't work for everyone, but it…

I had assumed that Siri could already do this just like Google Now does.... I guess not though.

My thoughts exactly. Their model is basically leasing you an antenna and a TiVo, to make that whole process easier than trying to hook all that up yourself. If you look at it that way, this seems like it should be allowed to exist. I'm pretty sure TiVo and antenna manufacturers don't pass any of their profits on to…

That's really cool!

Yes there is. Using an adblocker on the internet is essentially stealing. Websites that provide content for free cover their costs by showing you ads. There's a saying in economics, "there's no such thing as a free lunch" and it's true, nothing is ever really free. Hypothetically, if everyone used adblocker, Google…

The Pebble is awesome, I don't understand why a big company like Samsung is having so much trouble making something that's even remotely as good as a Pebble, especially since this is their second round of wearables. Hopefully they do a better job next time, but at this point I think we won't see anything that can…

Sounds similar to what the new HTC One does. HTC does it by having an extra camera to create that depth map, and then here comes Google right after, one-upping them by doing it with software instead of hardware, so any phone can do it!

It's a smartwatch, I'm guessing most Lifehacker readers have heard of it. I love mine, wear it every day. Even on my small wrists it's comfortable, doesn't feel as bulky as I expected. With all the apps available you can use it for pretty much whatever you can think of, I love being able to just glance at my wrist and…

Interesting, I always enjoy these. Some of the "sins" though have to do with basically "why did the robots not do X which would have made them win" but if I remember correctly, later they explain in the sequels that they want The One to exist, it's some sort of cycle and there's always a One that rises up and then…

I just saw a post further down that mentions OBD's that work over Wifi instead of bluetooth! That might solve this issue

Ah, I didn't know wifi was an option for these! It could be useful for those of us who are using bluetooth in the car's stereo, allowing us to be connected to both at the same time!

Made a similar post before reading this. Yeah I don't want to give my bluetooth audio. Hopefully in the future they'll connect the car's diagnostic stuff to the radio and we can get it all over one built-in bluetooth connection and not have to buy an OBD device at all

I really like this in theory, but I have on problem: I already connect via Bluetooth to my car's radio. So I have no idea if I could actually use this or not. I tried to connect my bluetooth headset at the same time as my car (just out of curiosity) and I couldn't, but it can be connected to both my Pebble and my car.…

Nice review! I really like a lot of the improvements over the S4, it's almost to the point where I would consider it (I'm a sucker for stock Android though). I'm glad they finally updated their buttons to go along with the other Android phones, a menu button is nice but I use multitasking to switch apps all the time…

I assume this will also be the first phone to run Amazon's version of Android, meaning no Google Play store. Although Sense, TouchWiz, etc. are all skins on Google's Android, Amazon's Android is more like it's own OS (though built on the base of Android). We might be looking at essentially a fifth smartphone OS…

I agree with Corey

I heard about this method a while ago. I read somewhere (I don't remember where so I don't know how reliable this is, take it with a grain of salt) that often songs get stuck in our head because of a subconscious need to finish things, which is why it's common with catchy pop songs (read: repetitive) because their…

a perfect example of why I don't like most fighting games.
