Not in my experience. I switched Chrome to use it as the default search engine for a couple days and found DuckDuckGo results too often showed obscure sites when there were plenty of high quality sites that would have been better.

I do hope you can forgive me, but I was blinded by the rage that comes over me whenever I see the word utilize.

No, that's a toasted cheese sandwich. It's a good sandwich with no clean-up to be done afterward. It is a favorite.

Or you could use a shorter word.

My Verizon hack: You can get a Share Everything plan with someone even if you don't live at the same address. Team up with a friend or family member and save: Instead of $90/month for one phone with 2GB of data, you'd pay $150 for 4GB of data. That saves each of you $360 on a 2-year contract.

I was sitting behind the visitor's bench at a Div III basketball game, matching my UCSD Tritons against the Pomona-Pitzer Sagehens. The Hens were going to the line at the end of the game. It was in a small gym and I could clearly hear the coach say, "When he makes the shot," and I yelled out, "You mean 'after he…

No more so than a JCW Mini, I bet.

Tip for the Audio Technica ATH-M50 users: Get a Sennheiser headband cushion (maybe this one) and velcro/zip-tie/twist-tie it to the headband for a huge increase in comfort.

Allen Edmonds makes great belts as well as wonderful shoes. I have two belts to coordinate with my two pairs of their shoes. I wore each 2 or 3 times a week for many years back in my office days with no signs of wear. The shoes went back for reconditioning a few times when the soles wore out, but the shoe leather and…

So what exactly is in the box? Is the box necessary because FiOS is fiber optic all the way to the router whereas Uverse uses copper?

Today, with all the safety regulations we consider cars twice as heavy to be light as feather. And then comes the Caterham 160 at 1,080 pounds, showing the regulators what's what.

I have a small house and my 40" TV is about six feet away. I use an antenna so I get the straight broadcast signal which on some networks is 1080 and on others 720. I see no difference when switching between a 1080 football game on one channel to a 720 game on another. Maybe if I tried to find a difference I could,…

Keep in mind that our test cars had Pirelli P Zero sports tires on them, and not the crappy, hard-riding run flats that Coopers usually come with. No word yet on what tires they'll have them they actually go on sale.

I refer to it as the Superb Owl.

From it's oval-like-everyone-else badge (which includes all the letters of the company name) to the painfully staid font, Japan's GM is as bad as its American counterpart.

People need to know how I feel!

The only issue I have with working from home is making clients understand that working from home does not mean 24/7 availability. Clients can be trained, though. Fortunately for me, face-to-face meetings are rare and Starbucks works fine - once my clients realize they went to the wrong one even though I sent them the…

I mute commercials when they come on TV, why would I choose to watch them on YouTube?

Isn't that true of every outdoor hockey game?
