My phone is my primary MP3 player, but I wish it wasn't. As nice as it is to use it in the space-saving department, my 16GB iPhone doesn't hold all of my music. I used to lug around an 80GB iPod Classic so I could take everything with me, but it has long since quit working. *sigh*

This happened to my mom. We lived in one of those creepy old Northern California homes full of spiders and such while my dad finished his medical fellowship at Stanford. She complained of ear pain and my dad, being an MD, pulled out his handy-dandy otoscope and saw, to his horrow, a little spider in there. He used…

I'll never forget the time when I learned how to prove there were infinitely many infinities. Ah, the wonders of undergraduate mathematics.

So the trick is to avoiding this to 1.) not keep stored credit/debit cards on Amazon, 2.) use two-step authentication on Google, and 3.) not use the Back to My Mac setup.

No, they're just stockpiling sufficient quantities of uranium so that they COULD build nuclear weapons quickly if needed. Also, I'm sure it would be very convenient for Iran if some of that fissile material ended up in dirty bombs carried by Hamas and Hezbollah, right?

I know it's not exactly what you're looking for, but this might help. ComicBookLover is a comic book reader for Mac that has a rotation feature in it that rotates when you tip your computer 90degrees. It's not free, though I eventually plunked down the cash for it and feel it's worth it.

Judge Posner is definitely one of the more interesting judges on the federal bench right now. Most of his opinions are a joy to read because of their logic and the way he integrates economics into his reasoning. I recommend his economics blog for anyone who wants a good take on the modern economy: …

Do they leave room for people who like to randomly split their infinitives? Having finished this test, aren't some modifiers left dangling?

This happens with men too, though probably to a lesser extent than with women. I remember when Rulon Gardner (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rulon_Gardner) won gold at the Olympics back in 2000 that a lot of commentators were caught up with his weight and had a hard time seeing what a truly amazing athlete he was.

Sadly, I haven't been able to find a solution for that. Like I said, it works with my MacBook with Quicktime installed. I'd imagine it would also work with a Windows computer with iTunes and Quicktime.

I've been hosting my iTunes movie downloads on my Linux media server for about a year and a half now. I load a shared folder onto my MacBook from the server and then navigated to them and open them with Quicktime. It's not ideal, but it does work, so long as the computer you use to access the files is associated…

Actually, I'd think picking up a few cables would be a good idea. If Apple is moving to something different, now is the time to stock up on legacy cables for your old iPhones, iPads, iPods, etc.

Excellent post. It's articles like this that keep me coming to Lifehacker.

Very cute movie. I think this is a heartwarming and clever idea.

It sounds like most of your problems with the Olympics and technology are actually problems with the Olympics and NBC. I must point out that NBC has always made the Olympics inconvenient and annoying, so this is nothing new.

Do you mean the gray menu bar at the top? Just hold down cmd while clicking on the username icon with you mouse. This should let you drag it off the menu bar and into oblivion, just like you drag apps off the dock. In fact, you can do this to get rid of most of the stock menu bar icons.

You sir, are a hero.

I stayed in Kansas City last year and thought it was fairly nice. Actually, as someone who lived in St. Louis for a while, I was particularly surprised by how much I ended up liking western Missouri. I guess Kansas City has one more thing to recommend it now.

Lame. My 2011 MaBook Pro with an SSD is not compatible. Talk about limited feature support, Apple.

If I understand correctly, the research only applied to written materials. I wonder if phrases like "of the Pope" or "the body and blood of Christ" were really all that commonly used in the day-to-day vernacular of 16th century England. My guess is that phrases like "feed the hogs" or "run, the plague has broken out…
