Jalopnik readers might better recognize/recall her as the girl from the "It's the 'meers'" campaign of some years ago when she was prominently featured in Texas Instruments DLP televison commercials that played on rapid repeat during NASCAR races.

You know, since you have to tally them all anyway, it would be nice if you posted a list of all the nominees. With or without the nomination totals. It would be beneficial to see all the options that LH readers present as oppose to having to scour the call for contenders for them.

Yeah. I've been pretty skeptical of the legitimacy of the "Dear Lifehacker" letters. But it's no better or worse than the "round-up" article we get going into every weekend and holiday.

Funny, because travel is a good way to spread the same things Twain says it abolishes. In this particular regard, it's more about the person than the travel.

It's funny how I like these aticles, but my initial reaction to "What else can I do with my one-year old [gadget]?" articles is to assume the person is a braggadocious jerk. I always remind myself that there's any number of reasons why someone might have an extra gadget on his hands. I think I've managed not to say…

I'd definitely say thank you and learn a few Mandarin words.

Not sure if serious. That's at least one of the major reasons for DIY.

There is the option of reading a book on the tablet. May not be your cup of tea but some people even have a preference for paperback or hardcover. I happen to hate dust jackets. To each his own.

I don't play XBOX 360 either. Because I don't have one.

I have a small market ISP that I'm pretty sure prioritizes our traffic so that if Netflix is actively streaming, everything else goes to pot. We can watch other videos simultaneously but Netflix + anything is horrible for the anything. It's quite a pain in the butt sometimes.

But man, does it do wonders for you career!

This one is cringe-worthy. And the worst part is, that the single words represented by the letters are rather removed from the ideas they are trying to convey.

Any tips on getting skidmarks out of underwear?

When you're within two weeks of an impending fiscal cliff.

Sure. Which is why I said "isn't necessarily". As much as buying new, purpose built should win the power draw battle, there's bound to be the case where it doesn't. And who doesn't want a glowing orange altoid tin. Nothing a little cooling couldn't take care of.

Here's hoping for the best. Everytime I used the FB website from my tablet, it tells me I could browse faster with Facebook Mobile for Android.
