Curse you, Lifehacker, for being so right. Focusing first on more involved tasks and projects might also help reduce the need for as much caffeine—or maybe help it do its job a little better.

Hmm. I always thought that was my hard drive's way of letting me know it's close to shitting the bed and that I should make sure all my data is backed up elsewhere :)

I've run on and off much of my life, but really got into it at age 30. I stayed pretty consistent with it for about 10 years, with only minor "time off" for colds, vacation, etc. Now, it's been about 2 years since I changed jobs to a location which doesn't have a fitness center in it (meaning, no more lunch time…

Thanks W....I'll have to look into some of the newer products which do this. I had looked a while ago (1+ years) at wasn't terribly impressed at the time. Appreciate it!

I'd say one exception would be if your iTunes library is very extensive and mostly consists of music you've ripped from CD, as is my case. I've got somewhere in excess of 28k songs (mostly ripped, although I've kept the CDs as backups) sitting on my NAS and—as an Android user who's only iDevice is a 7+ year old iPod…

Nah, nah, nah....I've got your real headline. Now THIS would be an article worth reading (and perhaps even "writing"):

Rats....you lost me as "root". All due props to anyone who's gone that route (I wish I had the mental capacity), but my non-rooted Droid Turbo is meeting all my personal needs as-is. Seems like a great product had it not been for this requirement. Bummer!

You know, for as wonderfully intuitive and easy to use as Apple has made iOS and its entire line of hardware, iTunes should be considered Apple's greatest failure in that regard. It's horribly clunky, completely non intuitive (especially when it comes to migrating to a new computer..I mean, really...who EVER has a…

I'm pretty sure I had the matchbox version of this as an infant in the late 60s. Either that or it was an MB truck which looks exactly the same. Pale blue body, red chassis. You know the one.

Yep - that's how I roll. Sorry, but while I don't need to do this every day, I simply cannot handle the idea of leaving that crap in my ears until it leaks out far enough for me to get at it with a tissue-covered finger. Absolutely gross.

Hey Jason- As a counterpoint, any recommendations for a heavier runner? I weigh in at about 225 lbs and am typically good for 3-5 miles about 4 days per week. I have relegated myself to the gawd-blessed treadmill in the basement, but really want to get back to running outside in colder temps as I did before having…

Hmm.....old German car reliability, horrible gas mileage (and the need for premium fuel), and a list of "consumables" which include cooling systems, front/rear suspension, timing chain guides (which, if not addressed, result in a new motor)—in addition to all the normal consumables one should expect to maintain on a…

Is this somehow better than say using Evernote or Wunderlist? Not knocking the idea....just not getting what it offers above and beyond those types of products—especially since they can span multiple platforms/devices. Just curios what I'm missing...

Yes, please! :D

I know, right? They really couldn't bring a diesel over to the U.S.? And while I think the concept of this vehicle is a neat one, I have no interest in yet another under powered, FWD-biased mini-SUV/crossover. Wonder how the fulltime 4WD system works on the Trailhawk model, but I suspect it's not too different from…

The instructions I have also say you can use tap water which has been boiled. Brain eating amoeba or not—I'm thinking that even some slight traces of coliform bacteria which can exist in tap water w/ out making you sick wouldn't do anything good for your sinuses.

It's funny; the one and (I believe) only time I ever slept in a car actually worked out pretty well, but for a couple of different reasons; a) it was in a 2001 Ford Expedition with the rear seats flopped down (I'm 6' 2"), and b) although it was snowing and around 15 degrees outside, I slept inside a zero-degree bag…

I'm scared. Somebody hold me.

Up until last week when I got my new Droid Turbo and began using Motorola Connect (which I think is featureless and totally sucks) I had been using MightyText which is pretty good. Thing I didn't like about it is that deleting a text via the app doesn't delete it on your phone, so double the housekeeping.

I could be wrong (since I've done almost the exact opposite thing suggested by the article, i.e., 23 years with 1 company, albeit having had 7 totally diff't jobs there), but my understanding is it's not just that the boom of Millennials hitting the workforce don't like the idea of staying "loyal" to one company too…
