I can't live without Bartender. It takes all my (many) menu bar apps and hides the icon until it's trying to notify me. Plus it lets me hide the system icons I never use there (like my profile name).

Private study rooms: I like to do a little freelance writing and sometimes it's great to reserve a nice study room for myself. They're quiet and have large tables for me to spread my references out on.

What. The. Hell. I've been using Win 7 since the day it came out. Why did no one ever tell me about his feature!? That would be so useful! When I really need to focus I have to go through every window on my two monitor setup and minimize all but the window I'm working on. Damn. This trick could have saved me, like, a…

My local library even has a program to check out electronic copies of audio books. You can do it all online.

A father's advice to his daughter about what to do if you see or are in a crash.

For my parents, a smart thermostat was a huge time saver and convenience They asked me to set one up in their cabin. When they plan on going up they can use the web interface to start it heating or cooling the day before they go.

The touch pad. It has to feel nice and smooth, and be as big as possible.

You, Mr. @tmfk, could use more hard drive space. Great looking desktop, though.

I'm not using it regularly until I stop seeing Homeland Security alerts about it: http://www.us-cert.gov/cas/techalerts/TA13-015A.html

Me too. I wonder if they're just getting slammed.

Because this way it's 3 big people OR 6 average size people, OR 10 super skinny people! Or some combination of them.

VOTE: NEXUS 7

Thank you! That is very useful. Hopefully there's something like this out there for iOS.

I agree that vehicle drivers are the biggest cause of accidents, but at the same time this does seem like a fun DIY project. I don't think LH is trying to say that everyone must dress up like a Christmas tree when riding. They're just throwing out fun ideas. And I'm sure it wouldn't do anyone any harm to completely…
