I think it is only because I haven't started using chrome to phone. Horrible reasoning.

I use them instead of "chrome to phone", basically make a URL a QR and scan it for ease.

I like the tennis shoe solution, thanks.

I am revamping my home data backup plan, and want to know if anyone has a good solution to backing up TimeMachine images off-site or a similar setup to keep 2 computers backed up both on and off-site in an iterative fashion?

I saw once before you have an N800, as do I, though mine has fallen into neglect. For the purpose of media player, do you still run the stock OS? Which playback app do you use? Any good car charging options? With its dual SD cards, this really is a good use.

No vote, just hoping there are flash and HDD based categories, since personally I want to know about PMPs in the >32GB crowd (64 and above).

Slightly off topic, but lets say multiple laptops are backed up via TimeMachine to a central PC/NAS that is then backed up by CrashPlan, does that kill the small incremental nature of Crashplan since each time the TimeMachine backup image is modified the whole image must be backed up to Crashplan?

Kind of on topic: shouldn't there be a super cheap ATV2 somewhere? I can't find it (at legitimate sellers) less than the new one and there doesn't seem to be refurbs or clearance.

Thanks. one more question, how do you deal with the roughness of the cut? There is a restaurant here in town that uses winebottle glasses, but the lips are rounded (I assume on the outside, since keeping a straight inside eliminates dribbles).

How does this compare with the jig method, [lifehacker.com] , and as someone else mentioned, using boiling water instead of fire, can that be done with the jig?

The guys offer at LH dig Slice [lifehacker.com]+drop-alerts-and-more-to-android , and your concerns came up during their first ever Q&A video. Check out 16:19 therein.

I found myself trying to clean my screen last night when seeing the same thing. Felt pretty stupid once I realized it was artwork.

I am about to switch to name.com, but LH had a list of some the other day [lifehacker.com]+loving-butt-and-get-a-better-web-host-at-a-discount

I would like to give a shout out to a site made by a LH reader, which used the github hosting, [lifehacker.com] .

This site came up randomly in comments from an earlier LH post, unrelated. It made sense to me since I had never heard of it either.

I have been thinking a lot about how my current system at home really isn't working. I need to build a new NASty solution, or at least add drives to my current hub... but, the end of your piece reminds me of what all the IT guys seem to say, which is that they hate iron and always vote for centralized solutions.

I came across this a bit late, but Crashplan does back up to a network drive. This is what I use at work since its easier (and better IMO) than simply mirroring my computer onto a limited space on the network which is how the IT folks have it by default. I know this can work, and these directions look familiar, [suppor…

I completely agree. I sometimes chat with friends during the day, but mostly it is work related. LH did a story on this a while ago about each form of communication fitting the task. IM still has a role to fill at the workplace.

I have never been to law school, so I can't speak to how class driven it is. I do know it is very performance driven and you are gauged against your peers which then determines job prospects. If you happen to be the top of your class, then yes, you can do all these other things too. If you are that person, then you…

I have known people that did this in grad school, and it generally meant grad school suffered. In my experience, in post-grad education, if you have free time then you aren't working hard enough. I have friends who made cash on the side while getting a Ph.D. and that meant it took them longer to finish or they didn't…
