I think they disproved credit cards/magnet issues on Mythbusters with an albeit pretty small sample size. It took a ridiculously strong magnet to affect credit cards (like, MRI strength).

As many have pointed out, I think you're confusing it with Gizmodo. I'm hypersensitive to the issue myself, but even I tend to think Lifehacker is very good about being unbiased. Articles about things to try on a mobile device usually have an iOS and Android version, and I think desktop apps they choose tend to be…

$16?!? It's a magnet! That's like a $15 markup!

This is one of those law oddities where "what we say" and "what we mean" is at odds.

But the difference is after studying cigarettes and asbestos, we found conclusive links from it to a variety of health related issues. Conclusive, directly related evidence linking health problems to asbestos and cigarettes.

If I had a nickel for every person that erroneously rattled off that defacing US currency is a crime, I'd have a lot of legally defaced dollars.

Thought I should mention that downloading Lookout Security allows you to have each application scanned for known exploits. Since it also doubles as a backup tool and a "use a website to locate my phone" app, it's almost a no-brainer.

Anyone who thinks BBT is a rip off of the IT Crowd must also think that ER is a rip-off of scrubs or that Friends is a rip-off Three's Company.

This is freaking brilliant.

Forgive my ignorance since I don't know much about iOS, but can you not change keyboards on the iPhone? I thought I've seen keyboard replacements for it, but it's possible I'm just not paying close attention.

"...like put the burger on and leave it alone..."

It's easy for expert "i" posture enthusiasts like myself. I would explain, but then I wouldn't have anything to write about for my first article if I'm chosen.
