This argument is stupid. If you are that easily distracted, you are the same person who would start reading a physical, on-paper book and then stop halfway through to check text messages on your non-smart phone. It sounds like an author blaming the newest technology for his own problems.

WHO did not say there is evidence linking cancer and cell phone use, they said there is no evidence not linking the two, it may be possible it's carcinogenic, but more evidence must be gathered to determine whether a link exists at all.

The career I'm switching deals mostly with communication between mid-level to exec-level management, and it would scare you how much they rely on text messages and LinkedIn.

I once read that email isn't going to last. I highly doubted it, but I went back to school to pursue a different career, and people under the age of 20 are not into email; they use facebook messages and text messages. Every group project I ended up doing resulted in a crazy web of text messaging or group facebook…

Ha; I did the same exact thing after the same exact episode =)

Agreed. Besides, Gizmodo lost me on that lame Carrier IQ story; stopped following it since.

If size is an issue, this or a Leatherman micra might be a great way to go. If your looking for firepower/cost as opposed to weight/size, though, check out EMT trauma scissors/shears. You can get them on ebay for $4 including shipping, and they can cut through nails. Plus they're not "pokey" when they're closed, and…

I've been using Pseudonumerology for close to a decade now; it's fantastic. I used it to memorize Pi to a thousand digits over a couple days.

Sorry bud; I like the Linux enthusiasm (run Ubuntu myself), but EnMod and Truefire are correct; I was referring to the financial tool not the Linux distro.

Am I the only person on this planet that Mint, like, never works for? It constantly has problems with signing in or authorizing or being updated, etc. I have a continuous cycle of trying it, having problems, and giving up. Repeat in 4 months.

I just learned what they were reading this comment. I'm blown away, honestly. I've not kept a single one.

I've heard this, but honestly, I haven't noticed it. Plus you can upload it in full HD, so I mean, the quality is fine. Yeah, it'd be nicer (maybe, I don't know) if I saved it locally forever on my hard drive, but it's easier to share this way, and honestly, it just takes up too much space. My in-laws move it to a DVD…

I know everybody has a different experience, but when I replaced the digitizer on my Moto Droid (which is the glass you make contact with) I took the old one and decided to experiment on it with my house key. This is the video I took, and frankly, at least with contact of the "stuff in my pocket" variety, it seemed…

You people are paranoid. Yes, it might get *warm*. It's not going to explode battery acid all over the place. And the battery life will suck. But geez, man. Lighten up.

I'm going to be in the minority here and agree with you. The idea of hoarding all this data locally is almost crazy to me. My flickr account must have a terabyte of photos on them alone. I can't imagine what I would need to store my video. Although, honestly, I'm kinda worried about my videos only existing on youtube,…

Honestly, I learned about Rapportive from Lifehacker awhile back, and now anything else in the right hand column looks weird. Not only doe sit block the ad, but it ads functionality.

If you have his phone, and it's logged into his email, you could just read the email on his phone. Or reset the password from his phone. Using the computer is just a formality at that point.

Take disposable notes anywhere (including measurements):

My brother and I both had Motorola Droids (original) and would occassionally have this problem. Finally, based on some random messageboard post I found, I got rid of my appkiller. No problems since.

You can always differentiate real players between cheaters because cheaters will always opt for the highest scoring word, even if it places ridiculously stupid openings for triple word or letter scores. On the other hand, good players will drop like, three tiles down, make that spell five different words on a double…
