Weather Timeline, man. That's my new jam.

I've never really liked most of the themes for Handcent, and installing a theme is different than just being able to change the look dramatically through the settings of the app itself.

Handcent? Really? The best texting app on ALL of Android? I don't know. It's got some cool features, definitely, but it's just so... boring. It looks so outdated.

Textra is certainly reliable, but I actually really don't like the Material Design in it that much. Kinda boring, honestly. Maybe it's just the awful font or that you can't use pictures or any kind of customization at all. A lot of that is coming, by the sound of it, but right now it's boring to me. Definitely a…

I had the Twitter app installed to authorize logins and (for a while) for instant push notifications since most third-party Twitter apps can't have them. I should have just gone with SMS, but oh well.

Yeah, it was mostly only an issue when I was trying to figure out what Twitter app to go with. Toofer seems like a smart idea. Or maybe I'll just go with SMS. Then I can just pull down the notification shade a bit and get the number. Anyway, thanks for the recommendations!

The only thing I hate about two-factor authentication is when you're trying to log in to an app on your phone. Say, an app that wants Twitter access. So it brings up the in-app browser to log in to Twitter, but it needs the authentication number. I have to back out of the app to get the code, which resets the login…

I never really get this. If you're worrying about space in your Chromebook, you might not be the target audience for a Chromebook.

It's a cool idea, but sometimes email does need to be long and formatted in a certain way. I'm sure this app does a fantastic job with quick, informal emails, but I can't imagine using it in my office where there are a lot of older, less technologically savvy people, or where sometimes there's just an issue that needs…

By and large, yes, I think the game is really nice-looking, but I wish more people were willing to call out how lazy the animation is (it's still the same awkward animations directly lifted from past generation games) and how bad every character looks other than named characters. Plus, the sound design, what little…

The majority of the missions are a bummer, too, and mostly echo the same annoyances—spammy enemies, disorienting camera, bullets that peg you from every angle—that could make Second Son frustrating. I've long disliked the Infamous series' penchant for putting you into a stationary shooting gallery and tasking you with…

This is probably my all-time favorite graphic for a story on Lifehacker.

I agree with you as well that there are legitimate uses for ad blockers and I wasn't trying to blow it out of proportion with my doom-and-gloom talk, but I do think that the Internet has gotten a lot more hostile since I was growing up during the boom. I feel like every other week I'm hearing about people getting…

Is there a reason to use Pushbullet over MightyText? I used to use Pushbullet, but since I've switched to MightyText, I've wondered why I was ever using Pushbullet in the first place.

But choosing only to whitelist certain websites is like deciding that you like Dunkin Donuts, but not Starbucks, so you pay for coffee at Dunkin Donuts and just take it without paying at Starbucks. Lifehacker relies on ads. I'm staring at some IBM one right now, and in another Lifehacker post, a video ad popped up…

Ad blockers are the reason the Internet is such shit today. I used to use them years ago until I realized just how awful they are for the sites I care about, and for the sites I don't. Frankly, I'm surprised that Lifehacker would recommend one.

Personally, I actually like the Messenger app so much that I wish it still had the option to handle SMS messages. I really love chat heads and the subtle animations. Say what you want about Facebook and privacy and whatnot and I'll be right there alongside you, but hey, that's a really well-designed app nonetheless.

It sounds awesome because I'd love to hide the top bar, but it seems like the only option is to hide the top bar and bottom bar, or just the bottom bar, which is kind of useless to me because the bottom bar is actually super useful.

Good point! Also for when you're not blasting music, or between songs. I'm glad it's in there though.
