@jeffliu89: I have to agree with both AgentSmithAndWesson and Guitartab1982... Skype is the way to go. That's all I use... I have one of their subscription plans which averages out to like $5 per month for me, and I have unlimited long distance anywhere in the United States and Canada, and I can call either a land…

@Vivek: you're right... it is a quicker way to get to Google! It also works in Internet Explorer 9.x, however, it doesn't work in Google Chrome. Thanks for the tip!

If this is a recent change in behavior, it might be productive to think back and attempt to determine whether someone or some event precipitated this change! It's been my experience that pets, especially dogs, change their behavior patterns when something happens to them.

Paint.NET is like an advanced version of Windows Paint and I do believe it does layers and supports plug-ins as well.

Why anyone would bother dragging items to their Recycle Bin is beyond me... it seems it would be much easier and expedient to simply hit the {DEL} KEY.

I've been looking for an app similar to this "Next" for IOS ... does anybody know of a Windows alternative to this app? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!

LealNightrunner: Thanks for your suggestions... I'll try them out and get back to you. The reason I'm unable to have a hardwired connection to my router from my HDTV is because of where I live. I actually live in a long-term care facility. To place say network drop on the side of the room where my TV is located would…

I have an issue with my wireless router (Linksys WRT310N) and my Vizio LED HDTV with built-in WiFi. My television came with several Internet applications, two of which are Amazon Instant Video and Netflix, which both I use quite often with the built-in WiFi. My reason is because the location of my TV doesn't allow for…

Some of these would be really cool desktop wallpaper... any chance at getting some?

Unfortunately, I've tried your suggestion with regards changing the user agent string in both my work computer (IE 8.0) and my home computer (IE 9.0) and there is no significant difference and/or change.

What I mean by "navigating between stories using the arrow keys" is that when I press the right arrow (or simply say "next story" because I use speech commands) the behavior is such that it transitions to the next story listed in the sidebar. Conversely, if I press the left arrow (or simply say "previous story"), the…

Really nice layout, but where does one put all your crap? Besides the upper shelf, there's no drawers! Seems kind of bare without them, but I guess that's the whole point... eh?

First off, thank you for responding... you're the only one that has bothered to attempt to solve my problem. That being said, I have taken the liberty of providing links to three separate screen shots (see below) of the browsers I use on my home machine. They are Google Chrome 11.0, Mozilla Firefox 4.0, and Internet…

Thank you for doing that... when I'm not working, it's not a problem because on my home machine I use either Chrome for Firefox 4.0 for viewing Gawker sites... however, at work we are limited to Internet Explorer, so I'd really be much obliged for any assistance and/or suggestions for rectifying my problem.

I'm hoping one of you Lifehacker geniuses can provide me with some assistance from having with IE9 and navigating stories within Lifehacker (and other Gawker Media sleighs such as Gizmodo.com and Gawker.com) using the left/right arrow keys.

I'm hoping that one of you Lifehackers can provide me a tip on rectifying a problem with navigating stories using Internet Explorer 9.0.

Dude... they have medication for your problem, maybe you should consider getting a prescription... I'm just saying!

Is anybody else having problems with the new Gawker site's layout with regards to navigation (i.e. navigating stories using the right/left arrow keys) in Internet Explorer 9.0?

ROTF LMFAO!
