Win + L

1password actually has clients for Windows Phone, iOS, Android, Mac and Windows. They have a tricky workaround were you can create a web access to your 1password database. That works on Linux, but it's not as nice and easy as Mac and Windows.

In Brazil, almost all security gates (which most buildings have, but not houses) use keys like this. You would have to pick 4 (or sometimes just 3) sides at once, so it's quite a bit harder for the casual lock-pic to get past.

It's the mornings for me. From 8 to 11 is my sweet spot. I get a little boost around 5 PM, but it's nothing like the AM.

I quite like Climate Clock - but I find myself using Yahoo Weather and Dark Sky pretty frequently as well.

Yes, but not a bootable backup.

I've had good success with 2X Client RDP (free on App Store). It only does RDP, but for that it's worked great for me. Better than MS RDP. Better picture and less lag. There are many adjustments you can make depending on your connection.

I'm running the latest version (just checked) and haven't noticed any bugginess.

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…

I feel like the comfort of Bose headphones makes up for any boominess. (They don't sound too boomy to me, but I'm not that well trained in listening for flatness.)

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.

Chatroulette is still a thing?

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. Since their cabin visits are not regular, they couldn't just use a standard thermostat's…

So, is this really just a Facebook integrated launcher? With accompanying lock screen, messaging and contacts apps?

How about a "pretty pretty please?"

Yeah, that's definitely on the low side - at least if you want a burial. http://funeral-tips.com/funeral-costs-how-much-does-an-average-funeral-cost/

This looks like a really fun game.
