I never really understood the argument that physical media is more permanent. Physical media generally can't be copied (at least not easily and legally). Digital media, on the other hand, can usually be easily re-downloaded from wherever you purchased it, and you can make your own backups in as many places as you…

I find it funny that a lot of people do attack Android for being too complicated and difficult to learn for new users, but then when you mention an app that simplify's it, you get attacked for calling Android complicated. The Internet is such a wonderful, loving, friendly place sometimes :D

I did end up buying one, just arrived the other day. I love it already, it's amazing. I can't imagine why anyone would ever use one of those awful rubber ones when something like this exists.

They did? I can't find it on the Google Play Store (I have Android), is it iOS only or something?

Okay, but the fact that the console was out for months before they could even tell us what it was for, just proves that there are cases where it doesn't need to be on. That explains why it exist, but it still doesn't justify requiring it to always be on.

Now they just need to hurry up and make a pokedex app. Or if they won't, then they need to allow other people too. There used to be a pretty good one back during Gen V, but Nintendo had it pulled from the store, which I would be okay with if they would make their own. (note: it was free with no ads, so the guy was…

Opportunity cost is a very basic economic concept, that's good for everyone to know. Yet another reason why I think a basic economics course or two should be required in high school and/or college.

I was so excited when I got to tell someone they were "one of today's lucky 10,000" once. I love that comic :)

In the stock market, past patterns are generally not indicators of how the future will play out. And I would barely call this enough data to call it a "pattern" anyways.

Yeah it's really nice to have that protection. They're call the Grid-It Wrap, here's the 7" one I got for my Nexus 7:

I manually looked up the kbb values of my car and added it to Mint, and updated it occasionally. This is far easier though, I'm glad they added this!

Awesome! It looks like it's REALLY nice quality for a $30 stylus too, I would have expected it to be more expensive. I will probably be buying this :)

Mine isn't a cover like that, but I do have a Logitech tablet keyboard, and I love it! I've been happy with every Logitech product I've ever used.

I've never seen a stylus with a tip like that. What does it "feel" like to use? I hate the feel of a rubber nub stylus, they always feel like they sort of stick to the screen and don't move smoothly (I think it's because I've always pressed too hard with pens and pencils when I write). I like the feel of hard plastic…

I got a smaller one (for my 7 inch tablet) and I love it. I think I prefer the design of the smaller one, the flap over the tablet pocket also wraps around to cover the grid-it and protect all the things you have stored there. It's definitely the best sleeve for a tablet, makes it so easy to keep all my other junk in…

I think this might have been more interesting to do explicitly exclude Steam. There's no way of knowing how those 65% would have voted if they had to vote for their second favorite, and the results may have looked very different.

Wait... in the normal contacts list in iOS you can't already do that? So what's the contacts list in iOS do, only texts/iMessages and phonecalls?

The real drain on the battery is always the screen. Messaging apps kill the battery on my phone because every time I get a message, I turn on the screen to read and reply to it. I think the only app I've ever seen eat up enough power to care about, was Words With Friends, which somehow used up MORE power than the…

I believe you are correct, but every time I take a dozen pictures, I don't want to have to download all my pictures just to get the new ones. I also couldn't figure out a way to create a new album within Google+ out of the ones that have auto-uploaded, so even if I wanted to keep my pics in Google+, the auto-upload…

I actually was on the ifttt website today and thought "huh, I wonder why Lifehacker hasn't covered these Android channels?" I guess they were even newer than I thought!
