@UnderLoK: Almost nobody uses said features, or has an alternative that works for them. GMail is clean, fast and sits in a browser that is going to be open anyway. Plus, how many of those outlook features have nothing to do with email?

The dropbox autohotkey thing is also a way to automate certain tasks. Create a script that watches the folder, and suddenly you can do neat tricks like starting up crossloop, copying the code and putting it in a text file within the dropbox folder for you to remotely control your home computer. There are of course…

I generally go to one or two stores for computer gear, and one or two for books/entertainment. As someone who has clicked less than five ads in that many years, I truly see no point in letting the extra distraction through. I'll block a thousand just to kill one flash ad trying to sell me an iPod over my speakers.

@kevinw1: Obviously it didn't stack up to a good, solid counter top.

@ioanmcavoy: In America we use a lot more pluralizes.

@ritchie82: After having seen half of entire browser windows filled with toolbars, I'm sure plenty of us are fairly soured to the idea of wasting our valuable screen real estate. Everything the google toolbar does is either near-pointless or can be replicated with another, less bulky addon.

@mrsilver: The wording on the article was a tad odd. Reading the links, it appears it is 199$ from google for regular folks. Those with older google accounts get the 100$ rebate, bringing the price for them down to 99$.

@AmphetamineCrown: Until he breaks out the obligatory Rubik's cube.

@jinushaun: "You're also assuming these people know how to download stuff off the Internet!"

@TheOtherHalf: Your comment made me realize how many times I've skipped over the "web slices" "feature" without even knowing what it was. A google search found a load of microsoft websites that explain how awesome web slices truly are, but it seems like a largely overrated feature.

@The Amazing Ant: "sarcasm" in IE is "yeah, this is really a tag. Right"

@adamhunterpeck: Aye, being able to right-click a video and get something more than worthless "access your webcam" settings and a lack of a "delete flash cookies after 10 minutes" button will be heaven.

If not now, then when? Yes, you'll likely be working harder because of Microsoft's mistakes, but you will eventually be working with standards knowing no widely used browser is going to cross that line. The same goes for flash: At the moment it has bugs, security issues, memory leaks, and youtubing a video requires…

@Zombie Ms. Skittles: All that space is completely usable, depending on how much alcohol you have on hand.

@TuxBobble: Meh, it isn't worth "trying." Just adblock the star symbol, greasemonkey the gray text to black and call it a day.

@Spunkie: Lifehacker comments tend to be more useful, containing a more "mature" type of humor (less "lols"). Engadget has a type of humor more oriented toward giggling eighth graders with a useful comment buried deep amongst the garbage. I read both sites, but a more strict comment system is better in my opinion.

But can it mute sound now? #flash

@mahimahi42: Neither. What dissolves is their business model. #movies

@foolish-rain: I've always enjoyed seeing censored music sitting next to rated R movies. And they wonder why people file-share. #movies
