"Those hit hardest by transportation costs are what a center study refers to as families in "drive-'til-you-qualify zones" — those who moved outside city limits to save money and find cheaper homes to buy, so they could afford a mortgage.

@Will Burns: okay, good to know. Nothing I was trying would make it work.

@franksands: I agree to a certain extent, but I think reading comics is a bad example. I didn't follow the link but I assume they're not talking about indulging yourself, they're talking about playing to your strengths. E.g. If you're good at programming, don't spend a bunch of time teach yourself piano and forget…

@PReDiToR: "Stops your phone experience from getting scale". Haha I love the lifehacker community. I totally agree, but only on LH would people think it's fun to switch phone keyboards frequently just so they don't get bored

Installed it on my 2.1 cliq the other day and it was a dream. Except for the last day or so, it only recognizes taps. I can swype and it'll draw the lines, but it won't make words out of them, but if I tap keys it'll work fine. Anybody else had this problem?

@bagelwagon: That's pretty cool! Good for them for responding to user's needs.

@daweinst: likewise with syncplicity. I've never gotten the dropbox lovefest. Sure it's nice and easy, but is it any harder to tell another syncing program which folders to watch and be done with it?

It's definitely roundups like these that show that android's still not as mature as the iphone. The iphone has a far better set of cooking apps, and the last time I tried epicurious it wasn't nearly as nice as the iphone version. Hopefully android will catch up soon though

for the multimon entry you say "note the very generic looking left-hand taskbar". The right hand taskbar is the one that isn't skinned with the system theme

Very nice. I never found myself using xbmc that much when I had it installed on my main computer, but this might finally spur me to haul it out to the living room and try it out as a media center

@sahilm: No, they're right. It says "we don't have to pretend that customizing.... was a walk in the park" The negative's earlier in the sentence

So a group of 'vigilante hackers' decides to prove that gawker's security isn't good enough and that my email/password could be sold to a russian spam site or hacker, and to prove it they do the job for them and then post the information on the internet so EVERY hacker and russian spammer can get at them? Thanks,…

@YourSaltyPinkDeathNuts: Blah, I haven't gotten around to rooting yet and I only 2.1, so no apps2sd for me. Really? I'm not sure how, I feel like I have hardly anything installed and yet it's always hovering on the edge of being full. *shrug*

@bakana: Hmm. HMM. I may have to borrow that from you for my next risk game. After the six or seven hour mark I'm willing to try anything.

@Naveed Kakal: I agree 100%. 35mm is a much more natural focal length, when I was a beginner with a 50 I found myself uncomfortably constrained by the crop. I still prefer 35mm

I think this would have been more useful if you had also highlighted those specs that we CAN look at, that are still meaningful.

@YourSaltyPinkDeathNuts: Because some of us are still stuck with 256mb of internal memory. Throw in a dozen good games, some other big apps like pandora or skype, and suddenly poof there goes my space.

@Gabriel Féron: HOLY COW I love you.

@Gabriel Féron: Moto cliq 2.1 leak?? I have not hear about this at all. (!)

@LittleJon: Really?? That's so cool. Alright, might have to be a stocking stuffer...
