Great list! Wanted to chime in with a couple apps I use everyday that aren't mentioned to get your opinions on them:

EDIT: Sorry, ignore the duplicate

Ever tried Buzz Launcher? I've been using that for a while now. I like how people can share their configurations complete with widgets, icons, etc. and I can simply download and use the ones I like. It's got a lot of options for you to go out on your own too but it's nice to have a solid jumping off point from the…

You realize Alienwares are Dells right? Dell owns Alienware.

Also Voodoopcs are HPs, so dunno if that's an improvment..

Holy shit. It never occurred to me until just now that this if this game keeps going there may be at least a small piece of a generation that thinks of those pipes as the "Flappy Bird" pipes. This is no longer amusing anymore, we must kill it with fire. For the children.

No mention of http://overlordcomputer.com/? They're monitors are awesome: gorgeous IPS LG 'A' panels, sturdy fully adjustable stands, and a variety of inputs (depending on the model, they each tell you what they got). They have an ~$400 version (after shipping) and they also have an ~$600 version which is…

I've rooted every single android I've ever had immediately after purchase. It's literally the first thing I do, I won't invest a single moment in it until I've rooted and set everything up. The only time I've ever felt a desire to install a custom ROM was when I had a Motorola Atrix and that was because it was never…

Well the problem is you only get that button if you don't have a PIN or password which my work requires if I want email (and also I require because I feel more comfortable with it locked). Sort of a similar problem with widgetlocker, at least last time I tried it. I tried widgetlocker and a few other lockscreen…

I tried WidgetLocker and a bunch of other lockscreen replacement things before, my problem is they always seem to add a new lockscreen over top which means once I press things or do things there it drops me back to my normal lockscreen to enter my PIN code. Also most of them seemed to do significant damage to my…

Is there any way, short of a custom ROM, to replace the camera that gets used from the lockscreen? I read about these other great camera apps like Camera Zoom FX and Camera FV-5 and I can't help thinking it almost doesn't matter what they do because if they can't set themselves as the default camera everywhere I'm…

For those not on Chrome or trying to keep the number of Chrome extensions they have to a minimum they also have a bookmarklet.

Oh really? Guess you got lucky then. Even the app didn't work for me at 1pm, it just spun and couldn't load. As soon as the site went down the app worked fine. Not sure if it kept working since I switched to the site as soon as I could to get it on the TV and didn't go back.

Yea it sucks. The only bright side is when they took down the site the app started working. I'm kinda pissed I'm watching it on my tablet instead of my TV right now but its still redzone and there hasn't even been a hiccup in the playback so far.

Well the mobile app may still be on the way but I'm pretty sure it's tied to your GV account now. My friend just called me on my GV number and I practically jumped out of my seat because hangouts started ringing through my headphones in addition to my phone. So idk about you but I'm pretty excited I can use whatever…

Yea that was actually my first thought too. That being said, I'm still pretty excited about it, the S4 is a beast. And honestly, I'm just happy there's finally a 4G phone being given the Nexus treatment.

Yea I agree, I remember thinking about the Nexus 4 but it really didn't seem like enough of an upgrade over the Galaxy Nexus to justify it. I was under the impression that the reason the Nexus 4 didn't have LTE was that it was practically impossible to do it with an unlocked phone since carriers kept a tight leash on…

If you're planning on flashing CyanogenMod or romming whatever device you get then yea this S4 doesn't really provide a whole lot of value to you. But I feel like there's a fair amount of people, like me, who just don't want to mess with that. It's not that I'm worried about damaging my phone or anything, I am…

I never found one. Fortunately the MBTA solved the problem for me by giving me internet access underground so now I am finally free to explore what's out there.

Hey Whitson, I was wondering how do you like the computer now that it's been almost half a year? Any issues crop up? How's the maintenance? Do you worry about it a lot when you use the computer or does everything run pretty smooth?

Sure if all you want to do is pay for it. Most credit cards get cash back and other rewards that debit and cash don't enjoy. The lifehack will be the one that keeps me paying a couple percent less than the listed price despite these new fees.
