Agreed. My parents never mentioned anything about money to me and my siblings. I'm pretty good with math and numbers, so I've been able to handle basic budgeting. But if it weren't the Internet, I would be in a much worse financial situation than I am. Doesn't matter how "smart" I am, if no one ever tells me what a…

Yes the video is silly, but I'm not trying to make fun of anyone here. I'm 24 and my hair is so thin it makes me look like I'm 50. So I buzzed it all off and I look way better now. This is one of those things that the more you fight it, the worse the problem becomes. So my advice is to just embrace it, follow the easy…

Right now, the 3DS dominates the handheld console market. I think a Vita 2.0 would be doomed to stay stuck behind Nintendo, it'll take some real change to compete. So here's my thought for them: Android.

Yes it sucks that this is broken, but let's all take a second to appreciate that the game exists in the first place. There are a variety of old final Fantasy games available, and chrono trigger too. This is where retro games should be. Nintendo's virtual console is nice, but I'd rather have the old games on my phone…

Yes. This.

A lifehacker article posted today linked back to this article. And then I got sad, because I remembered the traumatizing day that Google Reader shut down.

Ditto. Mario Kart 8 made it really tempting earlier this year, but with the recent release of Hyrule Warriors, the release of Super Smash Bros in about 3 hours, and the promise of a new Zelda game next year, not to mention the lower price point, buying a Wii U a few weeks ago was a no brainer.

I will probably get one at some point next year. I've been torn, I can't decide. As I read this article, I realized how much I just don't care about 99% of the differences, especially with their very similar game catalogs. So Xbox One it is, because come on Sony, your controller layout is awful.…

Here's one more app for me to not download. The convenience of facebook was that everything was all in one place. I used facebook messages because it was convenient since I was already using facebook. I now no longer use facebook messages ever. For now, this doesn't effect me, but if they eventually remove groups from…

You definitely have some valid points in there. Hangouts could use some improvements, and hopefully it will be better once they overhaul it with material design. However, I would have rather seen them put that time into creating a better Hangouts app, instead of creating another seperate app.

I don't quite understand the point of this. I thought Hangouts was the nicely Google-updated version of the default SMS app. And if they would just make it the default on new devices and remove the crappy old messaging app, more people would use it, and we could all get the benefits of Hangouts with all our Android…

Well here we're talking about a scenario in which the question is directly given to you. In the case of being an organ doner, you are directly asked when getting your driver's license "Do you want to be an organ doner?" or "Do you want to opt-out of being an organ doner?" Either way, it's a yes or no question being…

This bias actually is one of the biggest factors that effects how many people are organ doners. Places where it's "check this box to be an organ doner" have far less doners than places where it's "check this box to not be an organ doner"

I don't understand why this needs both bluetooth AND wifi? If it only works when on the same wifi network, that would imply that it's sending the information over wifi, so why do you need bluetooth turned on?

Isn't that synced across all devices in your Google account?

Going into Android settings -> apps -> Maps and hitting clear data should also fix this. This shouldn't really have much in the way of downsides, since things like your starred places are stored in your Google account, not locally in the app. This would delete any maps you have saved offline though. Obviously,…

This doesn't even make sense. Wouldn't the easiest way to make this adapter have been to have the Wii U interpret the Gamecube controller like a Pro controller? Map Gamecube A to Pro A, Gamecube B to pro B, etc.? This would have the side effect of it also working with EVERYTHING the Pro controller works with, with…

Yeah, this completely makes sense that they'd be doing this. The whole point of a preview like this isn't to provide you with a product, it's so they can gather data and feedback. So of course they're collecting a LOT of data. Definitely good to know the extent to which they're collecting, but absolutely not something…

That's... well that's a really good point actually. People worry about things like names and addresses, but that stuff is already basically public information. So in effect, nothing happened.

People. It's all about the people in your life. I guarantee there is someone, somewhere that cares about you. I ended up reconnecting with some friends from college that I hadn't seen much in the last couple years, and those friendships are what gave me the strength to keep going and move forward with my life. Having…
