@Ender7: I dunno about the hardware for Natal, but if its just that little camera bar thing and (hopefully) a USB connection, someone will crack it for regular PC use in no time.... I hope.

@aeronaut: You already have to be connected via Wifi to download anything over 10MB anyway, don't you?

@Ookseer: One thing I try to remember to do... At some point I always open my laptop, whether it be to replace something or upgrade. If I open the case or a panel to access the RAM, I try to remember to put my info somewhere on the panel...or the hard drive caddy...or, anywhere that's smooth, flat and won't damage…

Seems like it could also be fairly easy to convert a monopod to do this as well, with a little work, giving you a 2-for-1 tool.

@phrend: Nicely done.

@reynwrap582: Actually this reminds me of something else. When I was little we had a house where the window in the living room was large and faced due East, and it would heat up like an oven in the morning, which heated the whole house. We had blinds there too and were expressly forbidden from hanging anything via…

@Mike8813: I hear they do this in the summer in Northern Alaska because the sun stays up for days/weeks at the height of summer. Completely Fs with your internal clock if you don't do something to block out the light at "night time"...

@Shandog: I've taken a couple approaches... Firstly, hanging a curtain rod doesn't do monumental damage, a couple minor screw holes can be easily concealed once you move, and if you keep the blinds closed when your curtains are closed, your landlord probably will never notice you hung them. This is what I've done…

@Webran61: Take it apart party way and blow some air through it. (I prefer the blowers that use 12g CO2 cartridges over the air duster cans that are loaded with bitterant and make everything in the world taste like ****.) There's a good chance there's a little spot of residual water tucked into a confined spot where…

@dizzytired: I use isopropyl alcohol for cleaning just about everything, so I'd go with that.

@Phoshi: I hear they're working on expanding Hulu to other countries, so it may not be that way for long. It's not entirely hard to fathom why it would be US-only at the moment, considering licensing issues and the fact that serving advertisements for some products that the customers have no geographic ability to…

@Runnin-Ute: Why don't you get into it instead of wondering why your wife didn't?

@Alex H.: New Series next month...... yaaaay

@gt0163c: You can also pack stuff like clean socks and underwear or shirts in larger ziploc bags and suck the excess air out (or sit on it while zipping it up). Keeps folded shirts and stuff from getting unfolded until you're ready to use them. I always accidentally stick something I need at the bottom of my…

I work from home most of the time...straight from my bed to my desk. Recently I realized that the #1 energy booster for me is just putting on pants and not working in my boxers. If that's not enough, I throw on a pair of comfortable Vans.

@Daisuke Matsuzaka: Next you're going to tell me that I should just keep my tuna boring.

@ben: And that matters, why? Do you have to be in the majority for Lifehacker to post something that might be of interest to you? Shoot, I don't have a mac, stop posting mac software, LH!

I'm tempted to do something similar with my Speedlite 430EX which, as far as I can tell, doesn't accept an AC adapter. My camera has a plastic faux-battery that connects to an adapter so I can snap pictures all day long (great for time lapse) but when shooting with my Speedlite at home, the charging time for the…

I haven't really tried this out yet, but I notice a lot of people are upset about the recommendations being "off"... The way it's set up doesn't sound like a standard recomendation system (i.e. You liked this book, here are others buy the same author... others in the same genre... etc). This system compares what…
