In my experience, the top three are:

Personally, I think email is still a "killer app", quick, convenient, secure (as secure you want to make it), and as long as your recipient has an email address, specific and he or she can respond to. Besides, you are not really "locked" into any system; I am not sure I'd give up the convenience and simplicity of…

Lifehacker is fascinating; while I feel a little empty that I will not see posts in future in lifehacker written by Adam Pash, I also know it's an incredible team of innovative writers and editors that keeps finding, commenting, and churning must-read stuff day after day. BTW, just signed up for superhuman, :-), be…

This article brings to mind the excellent shojin ryori style of cooking in Japanese buddhist temples. The combination of ingredients to bring out the "umami" factor is unsurpassed. Here's some more information http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Buddhist_cuisine

This is one of the best articles I read in Lifehacker, not just well researched, but very well balanced. As Alan writes, "Like many things, productivity isn't a one-size-fits-all approach. It's highly individual, and every bit of advice you read—including ours—should be considered as such." I'd add to the list…

Well. duh.

Excellent post and set of advices. In general, I think adhering to the Buddhist philosophy that the world is painful, acceptance that the world is painful but you don't have to "suffer" just because of that works wonderfully. In other words, at the "heat of the moment", remind yourself that just because something is…

What you quoted is obvious if you check blogs by cops. They want you to be unduly submissive. Have you checked for advice from blogs by lawyers? What do they advise?

These are excellent tips, and I'd definitely put together a list before shopping. Having said that, at least on one occasion four years ago, despite following the two tips ("read reviews" and "try out"), I had a very bad experience with a top of the line Acer Aspire laptop I bought from a store here in Christchurch…

This is a lifesaver. Having lost my bike over the weekend, I wish I knew this before! I will surely build this for my next bike!

I think so too. Too cluttered. Too complex. Why does he have to use a keyboard with his macbook? it's so cluttered that you couldn't even fit all of that in one frame (the speech bubble got cut off on the left side and on the bottom of the frame on my computer monitor). Two paper notebooks when he already has a laptop…

I use chopsticks to pick up small toasts of bread (or tortilla pieces) from pop-up toaster.

This is an excellent article. In addition to the general advices written here, I'd like to add that regular meditation (very simple form of meditation, such as sitting silently and focusing on your breath for about five minutes a day), listening to quiet, soft music (we found binaural waves to be excellent relaxation…

There are some services that are certainly worth paying for. There are already freemium models, and various different ways of making money even while offering free services to one section of users. Remember the milk for instance is a neat example of how such webservices may work. Just a thought.

VOTE: Feedly

My vote will go to Feedly (the new version, version 6.0) because it has well integrated with Google Reader but extends it more with posting to Tumblr and G+. Besides, it has a clean interface, works with all platforms (web browsers in all OS), and with tablets.
