Starwood Preferred Guest American Express. Only because I paid for my entire wedding with it and basically got a honeymoon for free. Otherwise, worthless card not accepted anywhere in Asia.

So being in California, what would happen if you were having LASIK and an earthquake occurred?

I got swine flu at PAX 2009. Not as bad as people made it out to be.

I don't know about "best", but definitely most convenient vacuum I've ever owned is the Hoover Linx. It's nothing fancy, except it's battery powered and has STRONG SUCTION. Lasts about 20 minutes, which is enough time to go through a 3 bedroom hardwood apartment with a huge shedding dog. I'm also thinking about…

Why is that a problem? Netflix can see what I watch as well.

True, but I guess I'm spoiled with multiple cup holders.

or you could just put the candle (in it's glass holder) in your cup holder.

I haven't found any glasses that fit my face shape as well as wayfarers. I used to buy cheap "mall glasses", but I'd end up losing them or breaking them within a few months. Having dropped $100 on Ray Bans, I'm much more careful with them and haven't lost them yet. The quality of the hinges is a lot better too, in my…

Lots of good reviews for the Dorco Pace 6 Plus on Amazon. Fraction of the cost of Gillette. Thinking of pulling the trigger on these once I run out of Gillette cartridges.

My biggest beef with Monoprice is their shipping. $5 bucks when all I need is a $2 cable. I usually have to call up all of my friends and family and ask them if they need anything to make the shipping worth it.

I'd agree with AlphaGeek to email them over the micro usb cable. They'll just send you a new one and you don't even have to send the old one back. However, I've had the same problem with their micro usb cables (the hooks holding the cable in the phone eventually sink and the cable will no longer stay in) so I just…

I want my loved ones to take my corpse out on an adventure, like Weekend at Bernie's.

The only problem with using incognito mode for bank websites is you have to go through a second layer of authentication. For bank of america, it's answering your security questions. With Chase, it's having a code sent to your phone. I guess it's really up to you whether you want to sacrifice convenience over security.

I think a lot of people do that. Just make two shortcuts on your desktop. Right click on one of the shortcuts and click properties. Add a space and -incognito to the end of Target field. Done.

Also obligatory.

CyanogenMod on my Nexus 4

I have a Tunelink Auto in my car and it pairs and play automatically when I turn my engine on. I'd prefer to not have to take my phone out of my pocket every time I get in my car. Since I can also skip tracks using the volume buttons when the screen is off, I can change songs by pressing down on my phone through my…

I just ended up taking off the springs and putting in thick rubber bands.

I've owned two of these ikea lamps. Eventually, the spring weakens to the point where the lamp just falls under its own weight. I can't imagine it supporting an iPad for very long.

If your company takes ergonomics seriously, you could make the case that your crappy, heavy laptop is causing strain on your shoulders during your commute. Either you ask to get upgraded to a lighter, newer laptop or a desktop with VPN access. Either way, they usually issue a new system and retire the old one.
