Hi Mike,

Two-factor authorisation is great. But don't think that it can't be circumvented.

The main time that I use too much mobile data is when I forget to turn my WiFi on at home/work (I tend to have it off when I'm at neither of these places to save battery). To fix this, I've got a Tasker profile set up (just using loose coarse network location, which uses relatively little battery) to switch WiFi off…

It took me a while to get used to running with audiobooks, but now I *love* it. I find I'm more motivated for longer runs with audiobooks than I used to be just listening to music.

In Australia, virtually *all* pumps are self service, and *none* of them have the lock mechanism.

Also be sure to look into the difference between the open- and closed-comb razors. The 34c is a closed comb, while something like this 15c (http://www.shaverhut.com.au/manual-shavers…) is an open-comb and might be more suitable if you've got a bit of a coarser beard.

I'm in a bit of a conundrum about my current sleep cycle. I'm a night-own by nature, my circadian default bed time seems to be around 1-3am, with a default wake time between 9-11am. Adding this to a full time 9-5 job, I'm in a situation where I'm getting an average of 5hrs sleep a night. Am I tired in the morning?…

So will there be any difference between the cloud version and the extension version? Will the extension version use less bandwidth? Be faster? Or is there no reason for it?

I have a rule for myself: I never read more than one book at a time... .

Funny - "one book a week" was my new years resolution for this year. It's been surprisingly managable, once I taught myself that it really wasn't the important to unlock the next achievement in Temple Run 2, or that it wouldn't be the end of the world if my RSS reader still had unread articles at the end of the day.

One other point for considering brand name over generic (and I'll be interested to hear others' thoughts on this) is to consider the quality control processes that the factories use to ensure that you're getting the safest medications. Branded products have the most to lose from loose health and safety practices, so…

So taking an electric trimmer as well as a razor and shaving cream with you on your holiday is "low maintenance"? How about you just did a full shave on day 3, while you're already shaving your neck (which should take no more than a few minutes longer), and then you're done for the rest of the week. Sure you may…

Yep, that works. That's how I've got mine set up.

As it says in the article, if you're crossing "three time zones or less" can afford not to adjust. But as a frequent traveller from Australia, this isn't a practical suggestion, as the vast majority of destinations require much more than three zones worth of change.

I'm in exactly the same boat, Lefty. Never would have thought of it, but been doing it since that article and loving it!

I'll give my favourite tip for ordering a new beer: ask the bartender their thoughts about what they serve. There's a good chance that they've tried most, if not all, of the beers on the menu, and they should be able to give you a pretty good explanation of what the beer will be like. Plus, if you express a genuine…

Really? I've got an AeroPress, a French Press, and a Mocha Pot but I still use the Mocha Pot every morning. It's got nothing to do with nostalgia it's just the e best coffee that I can make without an espresso machine.

I'll echo Alan's point that if your french press coffee is watery, it'll be a problem of not using enough beans. A lot of people think about instant coffee quantities (~1tsp per cup of water) for french press, bug you'll actually need about a tablespoon of coffee for each cup of water.

I like asking people what their "thing" is. I've found that everybody has something about them that makes other people think, "Wow!". Maybe you can solve a Rubik's Cube in under a minute, maybe your hobby is reading Shakespearean Sonnets, maybe as a kid, you finished second in your state in an darts competition. …

I'm always on the lookout for a new music player option for my phone. Unfortunately, Now Playing wasn't quite what I was looking for.
