Right, I think this is more designed to be unlimited e-mail storage (with a preposterously high cap, just to prevent a couple crazy people from using 100 terabytes and ruining it for everyone). So it's more comparable to the 7gb's that Gmail offered before it was combined with Drive, not really comparable to the 15gb…

To me, owning a house is absolutely worth it, and I think sometimes when people try to look at it as an investment they look at it incorrectly. If you look at it as investing $100,000 in a house vs. investing $100,000 in something else, then sure maybe it's not good. But that's not the real decision, because if you…

Don't forget about Republic Wireless. $20/month for unlimited, I think they're an important player in this revolution as well.

Yeah I don't care what your interest rate is, putting it on a credit card and paying it off over time is going to cost less than this. And if you don't have the money to buy it or room in a credit card to buy it, then you probably should work on improving your finances before considering buying a new consoles.

Yeah, it drives me insane. It's a legitimate concern with headphones, but ONLY headphones. When I'm connected to my car, I keep the phone volume on max and use my car's volume controls. It drives me insane, I wish my phone was rooted just so I could install this. (Sadly, I accepted an OTA update when I first got my…

Haha probably not. I got a group "happy Easter" message the other day... I knew the person it came from, and one other recipient. I did not know the other EIGHTEEN recipients. It was a fun few hours of unwanted texts.

Agreed. I defnitely get WAY more than $8 worth of enjoyment out of Netflix in an average month (and same goes for Hulu). As much as I'm not exactly excited about paying more, the service that Netflix offers is worth far more than the current price and it's completely reasonable to increase the price a bit.

Awesome! Now I can finally get all my iphone using friends to stop talking about how iMessages make iPhones so much better than Android.

Haha that's a good point! It is kind of a stupid name

I have countless times heard the rule of using 100-age for stocks, and then the rest in bonds, and it always struck me as idiotic to word it that way. This tip of using your age for bonds is mathematically exactly the same, but much simpler. Kudos to bankrate for being the first one I've ever seen to word it this way…

Why will an external HDD be faster than using a flash drive? Aren't HDDs slow because of physical moving parts, which SSDs don't have, so wouldn't a flash drive be comparable to using an SSD? Both flash drives and SSDs use flash memory (I think) so isn't a flash drive basically just a small SSD?

As a math person (use lots of Greek letters) it always bothers me that people call this "you-torrent". That's not its name, it's "mu-torrent".

I'm also totally stealing your "downloading games for free" analogy the next time someone disagrees with me on this topic :-P

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…

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…

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
