Oooh, did NOT know that. Timely advice Whitson!

You're probably right when speaking on libraries of 1,000 or less. Mine runs 6+K right now and, while I could store it all on my mSD card, this way I don't have to worry about syncing my library to my computer, phone, and media centers (home and office).

You can download whole albums the same way as individual songs.

have her log into your account.

I think laptop is assumed, since this would be what is in your laptop bag, as outlined in the first paragraph. Also, show me a geek without a phone that does mp3 and most pc services.

My question is, if you were able to install windows without anything on it, how would most people get online to download the things they want?

Seeing the comments above as examples, appearently many people have actually NOT thought of this; though I will concur that, at times (many, many times), Lifehacker does seem to be becoming CommonSenseHacker.

I personally have been a proponent of Guy Kawasaki's 30-20-10 rule.

hmmm a copper bracelet around your ankle. I know they have something like this, like an ankle bracelet or something! ;)

Call me when they put Watson on my phone.

Its not a messy room. It's a well deployed work space.

From a consumer stand point, boy Windows 8 might actually be getting there!

HDClone. Super easy to use and lots of complex features if you choose to look for them.

Yes some of them only have 4 screws in them, however, the amount of people I have seen try to return a LCD because it doesn't work only to find out they didn't read the warnings about the edges and circuit boards is ludicrous. I'm really just parroting the same things many here are saying, "don't fix it if you don't…

I think all of these come down to experience vs time vs money. I CAN do my own oil change, but I elect not to because I can also get it done for $20. People CAN fix their own PC's, but most shouldn't for the same reasons I CAN fix my own car, but I don't. All I need is one hick-up and I'm out a car or footing a higher…

Cheers to that! I'm a PC repair shop owner, and it never stops getting me when a guy will call up and get outraged at the price of a LCD repair because he " looked it up on the internet and it wasn't hard, there's only four screws." Seriously, people have said this.

It seems to me that some really, IMO, better alternative got missed in this.

That's exactly what I expect this article to say. Neither one being a real hack and quite honestly I'm a bit disappointed.

Well duh, you shoulds use the leastest grammaticular form of speach, this does make it more likelier to be a good review, since that is hows us Merikans speek.

No I don't think you get money from the ad if it's blocked. I could be wrong, and please someone correct me if I am, but I'm pretty sure this would be a revenue loss.
