Battery metrics are great, but with ABC (always be charging) mindset, portable batteries and more thunderbolt/USB chargers laying around than you can shake a stick at, the more interesting question for me is data usage, especially now that I’m using Project Fi (and I know there are similar pay per Mb in the UK). Does…

I know it’s not in the “Top 5”, but I’m surprised no one has mentioned (either in the post or comments on either site...Lifehacker or Google Security Blog), but disabling Flash, especially after everything the Hacking Team’s own hack which showed multiple zero day exploits for Flash. The only good thing now is that…

I haven't tested this out, but I believe you can navigate to the Extension folder in chrome (for W8 running Chrome Canary, it would be c:\users\user\AppData\Local\Google\Chrome SxS\User Data\Default\Extensions and find the extension that you want to "backup". Unfortunately, Chrome doesn't keep nice folder naming…

In the words of William Wallace: FREEDOM. Actually, most great iOS features originally came out of the JB world and today is no different. My JB apps are: SBSettings, Belfry (why iOS doesn't include a calculator on iPad is beyond me), BrowserChooser, BTC Mouse & Trackpad (maybe the best JB feature), Grooveshark,…

VOTE: Bose IE2 Audio Headphones

VOTE: RunKeeper

My two annoyances are 1) the inability to run javascript as a bookmark on a given webpage (clicking the bookmarks redirects the page and the desired URL is lost) and 2) the inability to share a given webpage with social media (primarily G+). However, if these are my only two desires for Chrome, then I think it's…

Nope. Turning my overpriced Macbook Pro into a glorified PVR and getting an Intel Surface in October. I don't want to sink any more money into a company that has over the past few years lost the focus on customers (won't let certain apps through, corrupt binaries, malware, overpriced products, human rights abuse…

VOTE: Chrome. Syncing tabs and bookmarks are great. Now, if only Apple would open up the sandbox and let V8 through their approval process, Chrome would be faster than mobile Safari. Apple is purposely keeping all other browsers at ~33% speed to keep customer loyalty with Apple (all other browsers are available on…

Actually, SwitfKey was voted most popular with Swype coming in a respectable second.

This opens up so much possibility for spamming/fishing attacks. If a small or unique company wants their users to go to ".shop" but instead a malicious site registers the same name with ".com", millions of people could be duped. I understand we need more top level domain, but I think they should be carefully…

Power charging, pure and simple

"would you be interested"? Heck yeah

Refuse to use until they fix their bug for Chrome. After selecting the folder and the action, the action details won't show up in Chrome (tested in Firefox and it works). Kinda surprising a "robust" website like this didn't test all modern browsers.

I listen to Pimsluer to learn a new language (Japanese) or to podcasts.

"but Dropbox still has the edge in most of our minds—especially because its desktop app is just so much better than Google's."

Social media is great for news that could possibly be important but doesn't interest you on a daily basis. However, RSS is still critical for detailed following of industries which interest you. I RSS Google, iClarify, Lifehacker and I roll in web alerts for WebAPI and Chrome CSS updates. If you haven't noticed a…

Access, Access, and more Access. If I am traveling to a different city and want to get my local sports team or to another country and I want to watch my favorite TV show, I am SOL. Also, except for torrent sites, it's like searching for a needle in a haystack to get all of my content aggregated into one location…

Hmm, thanks for the tip. I'm primarily using an Apple Remote, but I also have a BT keyboard hooked up (would much rather just use the remote and store the keyboard away when using xbmc though).

I've looked into a little bit, but haven't quite been successful (should be pretty easy from what I read though). Does anyone know how to change the default 30 second skip ahead, skip backwards? Often when I'm watching a TV show, I need a quick 8 second or 12 second instant replay, not a 30 second seek.
