I used the free, but I used it partly on Android (where, according to another commenter, I may have had a "grandfathered" version with unlimited IDs), and partly on iPhone. Read more

@PrairieMoon: I spent far too long researching the $-per-GB cost of voice recorders, with a baseline of having USB connectivity for file transfers. Read more

@delightt: I used to lug it around a lot, but now it's mostly at home. I still occasionally use Ubuntu, but my will to mess with Xorg files or nautilus scripts to get to where I need to be wanes a bit more every year. Read more

@timgray: As Whitson says below, there is a bit of entropy. The ThinkPad motherboard didn't die of not being tough enough—the solder on one of the NVIDIA chips consistently came loose in this particular line, and so I received a free motherboard replacement—free from shipping all the way through to getting it back.

@huh989: I lost everything in SimpleNote once to an Android app sync, which definitely added a bitter taste—even if it may not have been SimpleNote's fault. Read more

@philosopher_dog: I'm mostly concerned with Mac full-screen/half-screen abilities. So ShiftIt is the perfect, tiny app for me. Read more

@155: If I was more of an Evernote user, sure. But everything I need, file-wise, goes into Dropbox these days. Read more

@dougdeep: I guess I make do, then, with my external monitor most of the time. And, at the time, the ThinkPad denitely felt solid, but not like the biggest, clunkiest laptop I could name, by far. Read more

@Qxface1: The hum/sing worked for my wife more than once. And I just like Soundhound's interface, and esp. speed/crash ratio. Read more

@delightt: I'm generally in W7 for Lifehacker. Our CMS uses Gears for some functions, so it's Chrome on Windows for most of the morning (quirky, sad story). Read more

@Condalmo: They are the same, really—it's one of those "Chrome Webapps" that's just a bookmark. But I keep it there to remind me of its existence ;) Read more

@waffles: Ah, well, I meant that I didn't see a means of stopping/pausing/repeating a song. I've heard radio-types say that as long as you can't "reliably predict" playback, or control it, you can't really be sued for enabling theft. That's why DJs often talk over the very first part of a track, I believe. Read more

@ironraiden: It was kind of a figure of speech. Fresh start from the developer/distributor perspective. Over time, I believe, they'll differentiate themselves. Read more

@drongch: True, but as noted in the post, you can't even stop playback on a track, so it's pretty hard to gank tunes from this one. Read more

@Lexyl: White chocolate adds to the creaminess of the finished product. But I can respect the anti-white chocolate crowd ... as terrible as that sounds. Read more
