I think many of the old conservative banner wavers have no idea about this. They are often the same people who told the government to get their hands off Medicare. Same for the brain-washed GOP voters in the Sourthern states. They are some of the poorest people with the most need for social support....and they will…

That's certainly true (TBH like most Apple products) - perhaps I see more negatives than with past phones, where I expected only incremental increases in functionality. If my 5S screen wasn't shattered, I'd seriously consider rolling back. But then again, I still use my Classic iPod, so perhaps this says as much about…

This is only helpful for people who are already stoned.

iPhone 6. Either I am missing something huge or there's almost no advantage over the 5s except size and the health app. Admittedly, I'm not a sufficiently expert photographer to maximize camera use. I don't hate it, but it's less easy to cart around in the front jeans pocket and having a side power button is a pain.…

I feel this could be a very important article for many people - thank you. I haven't seen this topic addressed as accessibly as this before, and I'm sure many Lifehacker readers are either in this situation or will be soon. I will certainly be forwarding this to many friends approaching these decisions.

Echo all the comments here and would just like say +1 zillion for your light-up-the-room smile.

No doubt, but in this case I believe it. it doesn't sound like her voice at all.

Each to their own. I rarely make the bed. I throw back the covers and allow the bed sheets/pad/mattress to air out. I think this comes from my partner going through a lengthy illness with fever/sweats, where the sheets were soaked daily. Even with changing out the sheets/pad daily, I imagined the mattress benefited…

Me too. +1 for major hug-fest with Julie Andrews.

If by "frat boy" you mean "dumb", Yes.

Enjoyed the write-up.

Fair enough!

Sometimes I think that we will app our brain into atrophy. Isn't this what fingers, toes, and...wait....your brain is for?
