I have one of these, and I absolutely love it. I've never liked big wallets and I've slowly been trimming my wallets down smaller and smaller over every generation. I think I've finally gotten to the smallest possible wallet with this one. I've got my license, carry permit, 2 credit cards, HSA and health insurance…

I've been using Launchy for a few years now, ever since I read an earlier Lifehacker article on it. I absolutely love it, and have installed it on every PC I use. I came up with a few setup tweaks that I think make it much better than "stock": Since it cluttered Launchy's search results too much, I deleted all the…

The point of wireless chargers isn't to get rid of wires completely, so yeah, the charging pad's wire still clutters up the place a bit. The point is to be able to pick up your phone, interact with it, and set it back down to charge again as often as you like without having to constantly unplug/plug it, or have a…

Gotta agree with you here on the Qi charging thing. I was hesitant to get into it as well, but the price of the required hardware has really come down in the last few months. I recently bought the Tylt Vu charger and am liking it. It was $60 on Amazon, which is pretty high, but it's one of the few designs that holds…

I had gotten the Swype-ish keyboard Touchpal (not the stand-alone App Store app, but actually integrated into the entire OS) working on my jailbroken iPod Touch 5 when I was running iOS 6, but now that I'm on iOS 7 it doesn't seem to work. That's okay by me, because I had kind of gotten tired of it. It's intended to…

Seeing the link that got me here, "What grammar mistakes bother you most?", made me laugh a bit. "WHICH", people, "which".

I'm still getting mail for this jackass who lived with my sister and I while the two of them were dating, no less than 15 years ago. I've moved 3 times since then, and mail addressed to him still shows up with alarming frequency. When he and my sister broke up, his parting move was to attempt to get us kicked out of…

Wanam Xposed has a ton of great features. I'm new to the S4, and was getting fed up with all the annoying "fluff" in the notifications bar (Blocking mode, "the battery is full, please unplug", etc etc). I made a list of things that annoyed me about the factory ROM and was just about set to undertake switching to CM…

Both! Although electronic to-do lists are great, it still takes less time to grab a post-it note and scribble something down. Also, I'm a lot less likely to forget what it was I meant to write if I just grab a pen and go. If I have to unlock my phone, navigate through all the apps on the homescreen (which can be a…

I think my major beef with the "cheat sheet" process that my parents use is that it short-circuits the "organic" growth of a conversation. It sort of cheats the other party out of getting to learn something about them in a natural give-and-take way. For example, I'd rather ask a new person "So what do you do for fun?"…

Time of day and the rotation of the polarized lens relative to the angle of the sun in the sky will likely make a huge difference in the effect of this technique. Try it out yourself: if you're wearing polarized sunglasses and the sun is off to your right or left, tilt your head from side to side and see what happens…

Good to know!

It won't have info you don't manually put in there... What's a crook going to do with a phone number or email address? If you put your SSN or credit card numbers in there, then that's on you :)

Good tip! Now that you mention it I think I've heard it before - just never got around to it. And maybe as a side bonus maybe they can also tell me my midi-chlorian count.

I use the ICE app from Appventive (there are quite a few but I like theirs best) on my Android, and since I'm using 4.2 I'm able to add their widget to my lockscreen in place of the default clock widget. There's an in-app contact list you can add people to, and the widget allows anyone who finds my phone to actually…

Nice! I've got both SK and Swype on my Android. I got used to Swype first, so that's the one I'm most comfortable with. I may have to give SK a shot again, though. The pattern learning thing sounds pretty cool and I've always heard good things.

If you're jailbroken, you can get Touchpal set as the default keyboard in iOS. Not the Touchpal that's available through iTunes, but the one that's on Cydia (you have to type "touchpal" into the search field, and then actually press Search instead of just letting the auto-search thing work). Once it's installed you…

I was thinking the exact same thing.

I didn't mean that post as a reply on the original article, but more as a reply to the general comments left before. As to the original article, I'm personally pretty thrilled to know that there's more DLC content on the way. You bet your ass that if there's a Season Pass 2, I'm going to buy it.

Admittedly, "Season Pass" may have been a poor naming choice. Instead of referring to a season of a TV show (and who the hell buys a pass for a TV show, anyways?) I think the term originates from a season pass at a physical place, like a waterpark or museum or something. Does buying a season pass there mean you get…
