Personally, on Linux, I find that it's relative to the scope of the search. I'll use Tracker/locate if I know the filename, find if I know part of it, and grep if I need to search contents.

One thing I'd like to note is the fact that even if everything's protected with a password, nothing keeps the service provider from adding a few lines to the login page/service to log this information as long as you directly pass credentials, like on webapps. For tools with a client that generate tokens, it's a bit…

Such as? All I'd think these things would carry would be a session key for communication (which can be invalidated easily to keep from reverse engineering), and I would hope any data being gathered is only buffered, but synchronized to a server. Once again, I'd hope, although I guess there's a reason we don't know…

That would be viable if we could get out hands on a vacuum commercially available in such a small package, which isn't as of right now, or at least anything with decent suction.

It's a shame, I had a similar issue with Samsung and a Galaxy Tab (original, 7") where the logic board burnt out and the battery popped, shattering the digitizer and bending the LCD. Repair rejected for "damage/corrosion around connector". Oh really? Never would've guessed.

I find Google Voice is an ideal solution. With VoIP support (so I can receive calls via cell or Google Talk clients, and with GrooVe IP for Android), MMS support (forwarded to email), and the ability to read SMSs from my computer, I rarely use my cell to send/receive texts or calls.

I've been a user of Cerberus for a long time. It comes with added benefits when using root, but if your device isn't rooted, it still works beautifully, simply, and has a wide variety of functionality.

I remember reading a while back that you can do the same for "new-format" Microsoft documents, the ones ending in .*x, like .docx, ,xlsx, etc. They're zip files, so you can just open them up, and I haven't tried it, but you can probably do that with encrypted documents for added protection.

I've been an avid reader of Lifehacker for many years now, but this tip has truly been of great help, and I kind of feel obligated to post this. I'm disabled in both my arms, with very limited range of motion. Typically, I can't hard-boil eggs because of risk of burn and the inability to reach over a countertop. …

(3) referring to the wifi antenna should read (2), just saying.

Can we no longer use hashtags in comments?

The opening tag for the link has a parenthesis, not angle bracket.

I feel obligated to recommend buying the video codecs from the RPi Foundation. They cost about $10 and give you hardware accelerated decoding for a few formats. I find myself decoding 1080p at over 60fps with an overclock.

On a digital cable, data lines work or don't. The cable is HDMI, so speed isn't relevant (the HDMI spec specifies the speed cables must be able to operate at). The cable either functions, or it doesn't. Quality doesn't degrade until the cable is no longer functional. And Audioquest doesn't set the price, they…
