Here's one for people with braces: If you're having trouble removing a screw from something (as in it's completely unscrewed and you just need to get it out of the hole) and turning it upside down isn't working or isn't an option, use a little ball of dental wax on the tip of the screwdriver to stick the screw to the…

I agree wholeheartedly. I left Ubuntu at 10.10 because I didn't like the direction it was going, and moved to Mint after experimenting with openSUSE and Fedora. Once 11.04 hits stable, I'll probably switch back. However, I hope there's a way to disable moving the menubars to the top panel, just in case I decide I…

If you're using NoScript, make sure it allows gawker.com and vimeo.com

This would be awesome as a greasemonkey or Stylish script for Firefox

OK, I understand they couldn't increase the iPad2 to the same DPI as the iPhone 4, but "Retina Display" is a buzzword. They could have increased the resolution marginally and still called it a Retina Display. Sure, it wouldn't be indistinguishable pixels when held up to your face, but it's a bigger screen anyway,…

I'm still stuck on Firefox. Although with the growing number of Chrome extensions, I may eventually switch... but right now most of the extensions I love in Firefox aren't available in Chrome. Same with Opera.

Previous generations actually had some words written in morse code as vents. I'm sure the new ones still do.

I was very surprised when Steve didn't use the words "Retina Display" in every other sentence at the iPad2 keynote. Seriously, when they've made such a big deal of insane pixel density on the iPhone 4 and latest iPod Touch, did they even attempt to increase the resolution for the iPad2?

Glad to know Apple has stopped ignoring the Remote app. We went a couple of iOS updates without any fixes to the Remote when it first came out.

I'm using a dual-boot between Windows 7 and Linux Mint. I was using Ubuntu but it was getting annoying with the extra bundled crap I didn't want (music store, paid cloud storage). Mint has everything I liked about ubuntu without the annoying stuff I hated.

Yes, the FCC wants to know why tens of thousands of Verizon LAND LINES had issues when there was a BLIZZARD that not only likely increased phone usage dramatically, but probably damaged any above-ground lines and equipment... What's next, suing GOD for allowing people to be struck by lightning?

TRIM isn't meant to deal with secure erase, and even if you wrote 0s or 1s or random data to every single accessible bit on the drive, that doesn't deal with the chunk of reserve storage that the drive probably will use for wear-leveling. Plus there may be a bit of a memory effect, where it could be possible to…

Microsoft tends to not push out many patches for previous service pack levels, so if you don't install SP1 (regardless of whether you have all the other patches), you might not get the next critical update to keep Windows 7 from melting your CPU next April 1st.

How did Taiko no Tatsujin work? The DS touchscreen isn't multitouch capable. Will the 3DS support multitouch?

It's hidden at [google.com] and you have to type site:gizmodo.com before your search. what a drag!

They want us to buy the iPad and download the $0.99 Cutting Board app.

Dammit, the headline got me excited at the idea of having Aperture Science technology in my pocket. I'm sad now.

I have used this when facebook locked me out. It was a pain because all my friends were tagged in random pictures that didn't even have them in them.
