@Dabamasha: I already liked being able to provide answers before working for Lifehacker... now it's just an addictive career. ;-) Read more

@Michael Interbartolo III: Texas and pumpkins don't seem like a particularly amicable mix. I'm carving my pumpkins tomorrow and I'm still a little concerned that between the bleach and the 40F weather they will need some extra TLC between now and Halloween. Read more

@slaine17: Good question. Originally I used bottom round... but it's such a finnicky cut meat for a roast. When I used just the mushroom soup and onion mix it kept ending up too dry. Read more

@karan1003: There were a few small spots on my netbook case where I didn't buff enough and the gloss was visible (although obviously scuffed up). A few more minutes on that area cleaned things up! =) Read more

@SWarnock: I would have to imagine it would, unless the camera in the optical mouse wasn't sensitive enough to detect the small second hand on the watch. In that case a cheap analog alarm clock from the dollar store would probably work. Read more

@Almightywhacko: By the Magic of Google ranking... anyone who types "android wallpaper blurry" into Google now sees this Ask Lifehacker question right at the top of the search results. Read more

@jw: The only thing I'm concerned about is heat build up in the sun. I'll have to look at some commercial models and see what they do to vent the heat or if heat build up on such a small board is even an issue. Read more

@jktechwriter: The build is so straight forward... I'm thinking about building one in a more weather-proof enclosure and mounting it on my garage to repeat my own Wi-Fi network all the way to the back of the garden. =) Read more

@ub: There are two android tags on this article... the very first word of the lede is "Android:" and the #android hashtag is attached. Read more

@trin: A past life as a personal trainer, and my current life as a teacher and a productivity writer has made one thing abundantly clear. People do not know what they do not track. Countless clients, students, etc. have said to me "I do X every night!" "I eat so little!" "I swear I work on this for Y minutes a day!" Read more

@Frazzle Snazzle Bleeble Blabble: Yeah, had I known that the keys were clear plastic painted black instead of black keys with clear areas for the back lighting... I would have "painted" all the keys with a clear paint to seal them before they began to wear. Read more

@Frazzle Snazzle Bleeble Blabble: You should go yell at the guys who designed my Sidewinder keyboard. The friction/contact with oil and sweat wore the paint right off the keys. (Not entirely a chemical reaction, right, but I'm still mad that a $60 keyboard now has a bunch of blank keys!) Read more
