Hmmm...or you could, you know, ball them up and stuff them in something. But spending all this time folding them seems like a nice hobby too.

@Terry: No one expects you to swallow anything. It's an article that someone spent time on and shared with readers. You can disagree, but be respectful of his opinion.

The author makes some excellent points here, and I know that a lot of this is true for me. I have spent almost 5 years procrastinating about editing my wedding video, because I want it to be absolutely perfect, but my wife would just like to watch the darn thing!

As others have mentioned, why in the world would you do this instead of using a mulching mower. That way not only are you grinding up the leaves, but they are spreading evenly across the lawn as fertilizer.

This looks great the way they presented it, but he already has the first step done, which is threading one lace under the other. If you actually show the ENTIRE process, it's only barely faster than the traditional way, and all the time you spend learning the new process will negate the small amount of time you will…

The author makes some good points here, but since most people suffer from lack of motivation to get started with thing that are a little scary, or paralysis by analysis, I think more people will be helped by encouraging them to get started sooner rather than later.

One that drives me crazy is people online who don't know be the difference between "quite" and "quiet".

I have a perfect example of this. Recently, I went golfing with a friend and it was his first time playing. After spending 30 minutes or so working on the basics with him, I found that I was swinging better than I ever have.

@Wipeout: If there is enough of the screw sticking out, grab it tightly with a set of vice grips sideways and then use the leverage to crank it.

This is interesting. Paul McKenna did a test that involved blindfolding people and serving them the same amount of food as the day before. Everyone ate around 50% or less, and some actually started feeling sick from all the extra saltiness they were tasting in the food, etc.

This doesn't seem to accomplish the main purpose of a backlit keyboard, which is to make it easy to find the keys in low light. On real backlit keyboards, the letters and numbers actually light, so you can find the keys in the dark.

Who in the world washes raw chicken? I've never done that and never heard it. Everything that touches the chicken goes into the dishwasher on the sanitize setting. Why in the world would I want to spread the germs around all over the sink and possibly the counter?

In other news, playing active Wii games is still better than sitting on the couch and eating potato chips. For obese kids, it could at least be a step in the right direction.

Do people really pay this much for sunglasses? Good lord. I never spend more than $20, and that's pretty rare. Usually I spend $10 or less.

@WebologyWORX: Apple never claimed the iPhone 4 is a 4G phone.

@battra92: Great shot, and model schmodel. She's very pretty and that's a great photo.

This is interesting, but an emergency fund is not an investment. When you have an emergency that requires your emergency fund money, you don't want to be thinking about penalties and red tape.

@Tsylord: You're thinking like a Windows user. You don't have to close everything, just keep using the phone and let it manage things for you. Apple products are different.

@Dukenukemx: First of all, if you're using a PPC Mac, you're not really using a Mac anymore. Sorry, but your machine is just too old to judge the value of a Mac or OS X.

Having tried one of these many years ago, I can tell you that it won't be nearly as bright as a traditional projector. You'd have to have a REALLY bright LCD to make this watchable, and even then you probably have to have it pitch black.
