@harei: I'm not a big Mac fan, but please don't keep trotting out that old trope. I know plenty of people who use their Macs to produce plenty of incredible work. I use Windows-based PCs because it's personal preference, but I know I can (and have) produced similar-quality work in OSX, as I'm sure they could on…

@alexLmx6: Agreed, I just wish they'd show both. It's easy to make a workspace that looks beautiful, it's much more challenging to make a workspace that is usable and efficient. I'd assume Lifehacker would be more interested in the latter, although I do believe both have their place.

@slob360: I think it comes from the fact that you'll never get the image/video quality from an iPhone as you get from an HDSLR (or even a decent modern P&S), so to make up for that lack of quality, you instead filter it for a more quirky effect, where the lack of quality is the actual draw and is, in fact, enhanced.

A really beautiful space, for sure, but:

@karyisme: I use Pulse on my tablet and the Google Reader mobile site on my phone. With lots of screen space, Pulse looks particularly awesome.

@gonintendo: Aye, corrected. Tried it on my GTablet and it's not there. Thought it was a stock thing, buggers. It's useful!

@ihityouinthenose: Also, I think if you're on Froyo or newer, holding the home button brings up the recent apps which has a Task Manager button that just takes you to the running tab.

Hmm, I wonder if I could make a tasker profile that would start my IM program when I receive an SMS with a trigger word. I imagine it's not hard but I haven't played with. I guess I could just receive the SMS telling me to sign on manually, but eh!

@sassafras: It's such a charming city, though!

@shabaabk: Nailed it!

@Deftone: Will you be my friend?

@Deftone: It was in Steam's big sale for like $6 a couple weeks back. I bought a bunch of copies as gifts for friends hoping SOMEONE I know will play with me. No luck yet.

I think there is a sex tape on the laptop and no cure for cancer, and they're hoping they can appeal to the thief's humanity before he discovers it.

@JordanAT: You can make a vanilla steamer that's pretty tasty. If I want something frothy and sweet without coffee, I steam some milk with our espresso machine and put in a little vanilla syrup. Warm, tasty, vanilla-y goodness.

I've been really happy using packagetrackr.com, it was incredibly useful around the holidays to know when presents were coming in (especially the big ones that I definitely wanted to intercept before anyone else got them off the front step). They have a mobile version of the site, and you can set up shipment…

@Kerensky97: +1 for Yak-Trax. Bought a pair for myself a couple winters back and it saved me from biting it at least half a dozen times per winter, and allows me to walk around more quickly/naturally. The day I received them and tried them out, I immediately ordered a few more pairs for family members.

mmmm cream of wheat

@Aurailious: My (basic) understanding is that devs would have the choice to include tablet and phone layouts and features in the same App, and the OS/Device will trigger the appropriate options.

I grew up in a family where I wasn't taught healthy eating and exercise habits. I wish I had been given access to a program like WW when I was a child, because I certainly wasn't getting any sort of structured habits or information at home, and now I have a lifelong struggle to deal with.

Up until a couple years ago when they used the vintage logo on their cups for a while, I never even realized what the center of the logo was. If it wasn't for that, I might not even recognize this logo. The thick green band and the strong typeface of the Starbucks name are how I've always recognized the brand, not…
