I have no fees at all on anything. The only fees are hypothetical overdraft fees, which are avoided by having a savings account linked to my checking account, and fees for going over the required cap of 6 savings account withdrawals in one month. Plus, I can use any ATM in the country for free.

For some reason, many of us are much more comfortable grinding away at tedious tasks if we get to level up. HabitRPG takes this concept and applies to real life instead of World of Warcraft. Create habits or repetitive tasks you want to perform and it will give you experience points for completing them. If you fail to…

Also, I love your name :-D

True! But that has nothing to do with the numbers quoted in article above that are used to supposedly justify a smart power strip.

You might not be able to do much about your fridge, but overall, this info comes in handy when you're trying to figure out how to cut back on energy. For example, if you were going to install a smart power strip, you probably want to use it on that LCD TV. Miller's info also helps you figure out where you might not…

Yeah I thought they probably meant literally on nonstop for a year, which most of us don't even come close to. Your number of $25 is much more reasonable.

You mention a smart power strip for the TV, but that only helps reduce the power consumption while the TV is off, and that cost is for while the TV is on. We need to know it's energy consumption while off to know how much a smart power strip would help.

also, I could be wrong cause I haven't used towel root, but I think I read somewhere that unlike most root methods, it doesn't install anything to manage the root access, just giving free full root access to all apps, which is a horrible security thing. An average user wouldn't know they need to get something like…

I'm the same way. 32GB is enough, and I don't have photos only locally on the device so I don't have to worry about the issue that guy mentioned. My current phone has 32GB and a microSD card slot... but I don't even have a microSD card in it.

Hmm... Although Google is doing that more than they used to, Apple has always been very much a closed off ecosystem, I expect Apple's to be just as closed off, if not more so, than Google's. But it does seem that Microsoft is doing the best here.

Even if they stay sort of separated, and don't join in on Microsofts plan of the more open MirrorLink, we might still be okay. All three of these are built upon the basic concept of a touchscreen and a single button on your steering wheel, and running primarily off of your phone, not the actual tech in the car. As a…

I was getting the same error, here's what finally worked for me, if you are using Minimal ADB and Fastboot hopefully this will work for you too (I used a Nexus 7, and a Windows 7 PC). I'll try to be annoyingly specific because I do not know what level of experience you have with this stuff. Unzip the .tgz file you…

Ever since the announcement yesterday about L, I knew this exact article would exist within a few days and I've been waiting. This is my project for tonight. I am excited :)

• It's the first generation of a new product category, which never ever ever works out.

I've had a Pebble for... maybe 8 months now, and I love it. I will probably by a Moto 360 when it comes out. I will gladly spin around in that field with you, and then send a video of it to all my friends that insisted my Pebble is "silly" or "lame"

I know that's just a stupid pun... But I completely lost it laughing when I saw this picture. Thank you.

Haha true. Most financial advice still suggests an emergency fund of some kind in a savings account since that way the money is very easily accessible, so if you already have a savings account I think this idea makes more sense than putting buffer in your checking account. If you don't have a savings account at all…

Instead, just turn on overdraft protection so it automatically pulls money out of your savings account instead of over drafting. A lot of banks offer this (as long as your checking and savings accounts are both with the same bank) and it costs nothing. If you don't want these sorts of variances to touch your real…
