I've been using this app for a month now. Since I usually end up with low battery notifications late in the day anyway, I've always had my phone plugged in at night. I take advantage of this fact by not leaving the phone much slack on its charging cable, and wrapping said cable around the post of the headboard, which…

They do? I thought they were just pressure clamped between the floor and ceiling...

Is there any advantage to tethering apps over the built-in tethering function on Gingerbread (SIM-free Nexus S)?

I didn't think it was working for me either, but then I realized that there might be a difference between a playing video and a paused one (YouTube); sure enough, there is. The video needs to be playing to remain fullscreen.

I clicked on an ad once to see what it actually did... after the arrow shrinking animation, it opened up the browser, which I promptly closed and got back to what I had been doing... BLASTED EGG-THIEVING SWINE!!

@Meetloaf13: This option has been around since at least WinXP, perhaps even good ol' Win2K or 98.

@mike_311: That's it! You did it! You figured out what Google Wave is for!!

I got myself a Samsung Nexus S, and it's already at 2.3! Totally impressive. :p

@Andre Kibbe: Not most sites, no, but we do get blocked from nearly all of the sites that legally provide free (ad-supported) access to copyrighted media (such as TV episodes on tv.com, Hulu, network TV websites, etc.). Some such sites, in the height of consideration, would block us non-US viewers after showing us the…

Dear Lifehacker,

@lamintak: Since nobody seems to get it / care:

I signed up for Google Voice while on a road trip in the US, and so it is all set up and everything already, but it's still somewhat worthless unless I can add my "international" (I hate that USA-centric term...) cellphone number as the forwarding number. Which I can't.

Message Sneak Peek used to be useful, until they made it automatically mark any "Sneak Peeked" messages as read. Sure, it has the Mark as Unread button right there, but what's the point of using the Sneak Peek if you're just going to have to mark it as unread manually afterwards?

@capsskinsterps: Yeah, because dry erase markers simply smell amazing in combination with that casserole... :-/

@FauxFilms: I dunno, seemed to me that the article's about superhero movies that broke the mold; how many other movies have the superhero die, get appointed to be the Devil's general, and return to earth in rebellion against the forces of hell? :p

You want dark, twisted superheroes? How about Spawn?
