RE: Hand Sanitizer:

Man, I know that I'm probably not the only one to think of this within the past 40 years, but when I was a kid, I thought about how handy it would be if TV manufacturers built something like this into the remote... When you lose the remote, you just walk up to the TV (or VCR) and push an "alarm" button, which would…

I'll be the dark horse here and admit that I'm using KillCopy... I remember testing a few copy handlers about a year ago (including TeraCopy), yet KillCopy seemed to get the best transfer speeds. Combined with light shell integration, a small service memory footprint and a dead-simple UI, I figured I wouldn't find…

@nicktennear: That's actually some pretty decent crane operating there...

@taintedshirt_ie: Doesn't have to be aspirin or a blood-thinner; any astringent will do. Well, I'm not sure if it's okay to gargle Witch Hazel, but the key in something like aspirin is the astringent properties.

@Saudrapsmann: Muuuahahahaha! That line could be used to answer so many of those snarky article comments (e.g., "Why not just ____?") we read every day. Well, maybe in some cases, "1990" would be more appropriate. You get the reply-of-the-week award!

I'm a long-time Firefox user, but I've really, really been wanting to finally make a real switch to Chrome. As this article points out, there are so many great things about Chrome (especially compared to other browsers).

I'm also interested in what Kevin meant about the lack of legal shielding provided by incorporating. A few years ago at the Society of Professional Journalists convention in Las Vegas, I attended a seminar on this subject; the speaker was a successful freelance journalist and praised incorporating for that very…

@Doradus: Actually, World of Warcraft is already "portable" in the sense that it's self-contained in its installation folder. You can dump the entire install folder onto an external HDD or thumb drive and you've got an exact copy, with all your addons and other cache files and settings (and the rest is stored…

@idodialog: I was also part of the VLC bandwagon until I found KMPlayer awhile back in a LH High Five. Best media player I've ever used, especially for video.

One of the many quirky things I always keep somewhere in my car — and in my wallet — is a razor blade (with a strip of heavy paper folded over the blade end). No, it's not to support a drug habit. ;)

VOTE: Multipad

Working as a freelancer with no health insurance throughout the years has taught me that there's definitely a difference between drug prices among pharmacies. As mentioned in this article, sometimes that price difference is extreme; a name-brand or generic drug at pharmacy A might be $65, while it's only $18 at…

@itamarm10: That's awesome that you're fluent in several Web programming languages, but this High Five is asking for readers' favorite WYSIWYG editor, not your favorite method of coding.

Man, I've been addicted to Arizona's "Southern Style Sweet Tea" the last few months... It kinda sucks because I finally switched from soda to water last year, and lost about 10 or 15 pounds as a result. Then I got hooked on sweet iced tea, which has almost as much sugar per cup as soda.

I recently switched from Sxipper to LastPass after reading about it here on LH, and I like it so far. As a Windows and Firefox user, is there any benefit to using 1Password over LastPass? I read about the local vs. cloud difference in the replies below from ilia.uk's similar question, but are there any other…

I'm one of the many people here who turn to BitTorrent or other streaming video sites like NinjaVideo for TV and movies, but the thing is, we're not the majority. When I say "we," I mean pretty much all of LifeHacker's readership. In the bigger picture, we're all the minority of Internet users (that is, "power users"…

@Timothy Gray: He's not saying that there's no money in content-on-demand, he's saying that the BitTorrent protocol doesn't lend itself to that market very well, if I interpreted his post correctly.

@sean000: on the other hand, this might be good for procrastinators who shouldn't have the free time, but end up with it because of laziness. But then again, if I'm feeling lazy, why am I gonna check my ToDo list, right? ;)

lol I have to agree a little with the redial thing. I don't blame the guy for not knowing about it (cmon, not everyone does...probably less than we'd suspect), despite the fact that it's virtually a standard feature on every cell phone since the late-90s... but it's just kinda funny that it was actually green-lighted…
