Sometimes comments on Lifehacker crack me up. A writer spends probably 2-3 hours writing an article and posting it on a free information site, only to get a wave of cynical responses. Lighten up, people.

I agree with what someone else said. I rely on debit and credit cards (via mint.com) to stay within a tight budget. When I use credit cards, I try only do it with those 12-18 month interest free purchases—two of which I just paid off well before the deadline. But setting up budgets on mint.com is the best way to go,…

Mac Pro: home office use

I think if you do a lot of writing, you’ll find that it can be a boost in your workflow. It does though take some time to learn all the features. Lots of good tutorial videos for using it.

I’ll stick to Scrivener, in full screen mode.

I did this the other night using the $5 method. Well worth the money and time it took download. You will keep scratching your head and wondering why Apple didn’t officially put gestures in the last update.

Lol, don't know where the "ear" came from, but thanks for the feedback.

Great post, but here are my 10 Annoying Life Problems

Added update to my iPad. Works wonderfully.

Would love to see if this solution is available for OS X. I’m constantly copying and pasting stuff for the work I do.

My suggestions:

I don’t know, but it just seems faster import stuff into iOS devices via Dropbox than to use the WiFi method. That what I do with iAnnotate.

The best way to boss your Mac around is to use QuicKeys 4.0. It sort of like AppleScript without all the scripting.

@sdn: I agree. LH should require paid subscriptions for its site so it can hire like 10 copy editors to find every little grammar mistake in all its daily content.

@FrankenPC:, it's not as complicated as other systems. Once you set up the categories, tags, and then monitor your transaction in terms of tagging, it gets a lot easier.

@phoenix: Yeah, I mean, once it's set up (banks, credit cards, tags), then it works pretty smoothly. But I should have added that it does not have good reporting features. You can get reports, but you can only save pages as PDFs or export as cvs. For better reporting, you'll need Quicken. There's also Mint apps for…

Mint has really helped me budget my finances a lot better over the past year. Mint's website and mobile app do not always automatically update fast enough, but the site makes it simple to set budgets and monitor them. I really like how I can see, for example, how much I've spent on books and software from month to…

Well, personally, I’m just not willing to pay $100+ for better earphones or headphones. I’m sure the quality of the Apple earbuds are not as great, but a hundred bucks for earphones? Damn!

I use a $5 book stand from Staples.
