The radio is very powerful as it is but when hacked, the sky is the limit on what you can do with it. Lior has many pages of <a target="_blank" href="http://www.liorelazary.com/index.php?option=com_content&amp;view=article&amp;id=49:hacking-the-baofeng-uv5r&amp;catid=14:baofeng-uv5r&amp;Itemid=17">information and code that he has used to hack this radio</a> for his own needs and interest.</p> <p>&#8220;I figured out how to interface with the voice chip. Its very easy. In the process, I also found out a good way of experimenting with the MCU in place. I cut the Vdd traces going into the MCU and added jumper wires instead (there are two vdd lines going into the MCU with the trace exposed). This allows me to turn off the cpu whenever I want to send my own signals, and turn on the cpu whenever I want to see what the cpu is doing. I also soldered very thin wires (I used a single strand from a multi strand wire) on the the legs of the MCU so I can attach the probes and sniff the logic data or replay the data.&#8221;</p>

Before Becoming a Parent" style="display: block;float: left;margin: 5px 13px 10px 0;width: 100%;"></a>Raising a child is full of surprises. No matter how many books, parenting forums, and Dr. Sears articles you read, nothing can completely prepare you for becoming a parent. If I could go back to before my daughter was born and tell myself what I didn't know I would experience, this is what I would say. <!-- %JUMP:More &raquo;% --></p> <h3 style="font-weight: bold;margin: 0 0 13px;">1. Making a Baby Isn't as Easy as It Sounds</h3> <p style="margin: 0 0 13px;clear: left;">Some people are able to reproduce as easily as bunnies, but for others, that's not always the case. Before I got pregnant, I naively thought that whenever I would want to have a child, my husband and I would just have sex every day for a month and, bam, that would be it. The human body doesn't really work that way.</p> <p style="margin: 0 0 13px;clear: left;">So if you're thinking of having a child someday and want to plan the pregnancy for a certain time period, consider giving yourself some extra time and try not to stress out about the whole thing. A great book on this subject is <a href="http://lifehacker.us1.list-manage.com/track/click?u=251e609e1dba3888b86c21cc8&id=c7660e2433&e=d8e4ad1170" style="text-decoration: none;color: #719602;">Taking Charge of Your Fertility</a>. (It's also awesome even if you're not thinking of getting pregnant but just want to know more about the female body.)</p> <h3 style="font-weight: bold;margin: 0 0 13px;">2. The First Few Months Are Pure Torture</h3> <p style="margin: 0 0 13px;clear: left;"><a rel="lytebox" href="http://lifehacker.us1.list-manage.com/track/click?u=251e609e1dba3888b86c21cc8&id=8699cac44a&e=d8e4ad1170" style="text-decoration: none;color: #719602;"></a><a href="http://lifehacker.us1.list-manage.com/track/click?u=251e609e1dba3888b86c21cc8&id=c569be62f9&e=d8e4ad1170" style="text-decoration: none;color: #719602;"><img src="http://img.gawkerassets.com/img/18gut3pxbafg8jpg/medium.jpg" width="300" class="image_1 right v10_medium" alt="10 Things I Wish I Had Known Before Becoming a Parent" title="10 Things I Wish I Had Known Before Becoming a Parent" style="display: block;float: left;margin: 5px 13px 10px 0;"></a>I sometimes think babies' cries are so grating, their sleep so erratic, and breastfeeding so painful just to harden up parents. If you can survive the first few months of Baby Boot Camp without losing your mind, you can survive anything&mdash;you're like a superhero. Because, really, the first few months are hell if you enjoy sleeping, showering, and functioning well. <em style="font-size:80%">Photo by <a href="http://lifehacker.us1.list-manage2.com/track/click?u=251e609e1dba3888b86c21cc8&id=f7945a4805&e=d8e4ad1170" style="text-decoration: none;color: #719602;">Monkey Business Images</a> (Shutterstock)</em></p> <p style="margin: 0 0 13px;clear: left;">Others told me it was hard. But it's impossible to truly convey just what it's like to wake up at night every two hours for several months. Or try to calm a baby who's screaming inconsolably. Or deal with your body now being three sizes bigger than it used to be (graciously, this happens to dads as well as moms). Or struggle with not feeling like yourself for not just months but maybe even years.</p> <p style="margin: 0 0 13px;clear: left;">The other thing to know, though, is that as bad as it gets, you'll get through it. (Just don't be afraid to ask for help, especially if you suffer from post-partum depression.) There are blissful, amazing moments during that period too, and, after enough time passes, you might even think back wistfully on this period and even be crazy enough to go through that torture again.</p> <h3 style="font-weight: bold;margin: 0 0 13px;">3. You Will Lose and Sorely Miss Sleep</h3> <p style="margin: 0 0 13px;clear: left;">Even past the infant and toddler stages, you might have sleep issues. Middle-of-the-night nightmares, kids sleeping between you and your significant other, difficulty getting them up in time for school, and so on.</p> <p style="margin: 0 0 13px;clear: left;">I think it gets better (my daughter is seven and <a href="http://lifehacker.us1.list-manage2.com/track/click?u=251e609e1dba3888b86c21cc8&id=8ff4513035&e=d8e4ad1170" style="text-decoration: none;color: #719602;">still climbs into our bed at night</a>). I've asked fellow Lifehacker editor and parent Walter Glenn for reassurance, but he's keeping awfully mum on the subject.</p> <p style="margin: 0 0 13px;clear: left;">A word to the wise: Don't start a sleep or nighttime habit (like letting your kid into your bed in the middle of the night) you don't want to continue until your child is in college.</p> <h3 style="font-weight: bold;margin: 0 0 13px;">4. You Don't Need a Lot of Baby Stuff or Clothes</h3> <p style="margin: 0 0 13px;clear: left;"><a href="http://lifehacker.us1.list-manage.com/track/click?u=251e609e1dba3888b86c21cc8&id=91fbad1f31&e=d8e4ad1170" style="text-decoration: none;color: #719602;"><img src="http://img.gawkerassets.com/img/18gutld99fpwkjpg/medium.jpg" width="300" class="image_2 right v10_medium" alt="10 Things I Wish I Had Known Before Becoming a Parent" title="10 Things I Wish I Had Known Before Becoming a Parent" style="display: block;float: left;margin: 5px 13px 10px 0;"></a>Strollers, car seats, playpens, swings, bouncy chairs, play mats, sleep hammocks, teething rings, bibs, burp cloths...babies seemingly need a ton of accoutrements. Let me save you a lot of money: You don't need even half of those things. <em style="font-size:80%">Photo by <a href="http://lifehacker.us1.list-manage1.com/track/click?u=251e609e1dba3888b86c21cc8&id=46e4071d0e&e=d8e4ad1170" style="text-decoration: none;color: #719602;">Stephen Cummings</a></em></p> <p style="margin: 0 0 13px;clear: left;">Many new parents fear their babies will get bored or will need constant stimulation to develop super baby brains, but the truth is infants pretty much just sleep, wake up and cry to be fed, then fall asleep after being fed. You don't need multiple, endless ways to occupy them even when they've started toddling, because <em>everything</em> is entertaining to a young child. (It's also why <a href="http://lifehacker.us1.list-manage.com/track/click?u=251e609e1dba3888b86c21cc8&id=67e1c4902e&e=d8e4ad1170" style="text-decoration: none;color: #719602;">baby-proofing is important</a>.) Also, kids tend to discard even new toys quicker than it took you to look for and buy them. I have a garage full of baby distractions and stuffed animals (the bane of my existence) just waiting for garage sale season. To this day, I'm thinking, why didn't I <a href="http://lifehacker.us1.list-manage.com/track/click?u=251e609e1dba3888b86c21cc8&id=20c356fed7&e=d8e4ad1170" style="text-decoration: none;color: #719602;">just buy blocks</a> or make toys out of toilet paper rolls.</p> <p style="margin: 0 0 13px;clear: left;">Similarly, I wish I hadn't bought so many baby clothes&mdash;at least new ones. For one thing, family and friends love to gift adorable outfits (who can resist buying tiny shoes, even if the baby can't stand up?). For another, kids grow like weeds, so some outfits are rarely even worn before they don't fit. If I could do it over again, I probably would've bought only on-sale or used clothes, enough to last two weeks of laundry. Of course, if your kid gets dirty a lot, you might have to buy more clothes, but wait until you know before hitting up the kids clothing department.</p> <h3 style="font-weight: bold;margin: 0 0 13px;">5. Children Rack Up a Lot of Surprise Costs</h3> <p style="margin: 0 0 13px;clear: left;">There is one thing you will need a lot of in the first few years: Diapers. A whole lot of diapers. You know that already, but you're probably still underestimating how many diapers you'll end up buying (or washing, if you go the cloth route). This makes subscribing to a newspaper for the diaper coupons worth it alone. I also wish I had joined <a href="http://lifehacker.us1.list-manage.com/track/click?u=251e609e1dba3888b86c21cc8&id=3111934602&e=d8e4ad1170" style="text-decoration: none;color: #719602;">Amazon Moms</a> way back when.</p> <p style="margin: 0 0 13px;clear: left;">Other expenses will seem to come out of the blue over the course of your child's life. Music lessons, for example, for a couple of hundred dollars a month, class trip costs, babysitting costs, and even medicine and medical fees can take you by surprise. Perhaps the biggest shocker, though, is the <a href="http://lifehacker.us1.list-manage1.com/track/click?u=251e609e1dba3888b86c21cc8&id=7d0b6b6d2c&e=d8e4ad1170" style="text-decoration: none;color: #719602;">higher-than-college</a> cost of daycare. (It's like you need to take a second job to pay for the daycare that lets you work your first job.) So spend less on baby gear and keep in mind these unexpected (or unexpectedly high) costs that really add up.</p> <h3 style="font-weight: bold;margin: 0 0 13px;">6. You Can Work from Home with a Child (But Only Up to a Point)</h3> <p style="margin: 0 0 13px;clear: left;"><a href="http://lifehacker.us1.list-manage2.com/track/click?u=251e609e1dba3888b86c21cc8&id=cde523af10&e=d8e4ad1170" style="text-decoration: none;color: #719602;"><img src="http://img.gawkerassets.com/img/18gutsvkgdch5jpg/medium.jpg" width="300" class="image_3 right v10_medium" alt="10 Things I Wish I Had Known Before Becoming a Parent" title="10 Things I Wish I Had Known Before Becoming a Parent" style="display: block;float: left;margin: 5px 13px 10px 0;"></a>There are two periods of your children's lives when working from home with them is a breeze: Before they're walking (e.g., when they can entertain themselves by discovering their toes) and after they're old enough to understand that when you're working from home, you're really not available. If your kid is good at entertaining him/herself, working from home is easy, but it might still give you pangs of guilt when your attention is divided. It's hard for parents to say "No, I'm busy now" several times a day. <em style="font-size:80%">Photo by <a href="http://lifehacker.us1.list-manage.com/track/click?u=251e609e1dba3888b86c21cc8&id=1179fbc8c0&e=d8e4ad1170" style="text-decoration: none;color: #719602;">Bethany King</a></em></p> <p style="margin: 0 0 13px;clear: left;">So even if you're lucky enough to get to work from home, you should plan on getting childcare help once your child is old enough to demand your complete and undivided attention.</p> <h3 style="font-weight: bold;margin: 0 0 13px;">7. Don't Worry If Your Child Isn't Reaching Development Milestones</h3> <p style="margin: 0 0 13px;clear: left;"><a href="http://lifehacker.us1.list-manage.com/track/click?u=251e609e1dba3888b86c21cc8&id=fc6bdd3bab&e=d8e4ad1170" style="text-decoration: none;color: #719602;"><img src="http://img.gawkerassets.com/img/18gutxdcxdmpvjpg/medium.jpg" width="300" class="image_4 right v10_medium" alt="10 Things I Wish I Had Known Before Becoming a Parent" title="10 Things I Wish I Had Known Before Becoming a Parent" style="display: block;float: left;margin: 5px 13px 10px 0;"></a>My daughter didn't start walking until she was thirteen months old&mdash;about the time all the baby books said I would need to consult a doctor if she wasn't walking by then. So of course I stressed about it. She was also in pull-up diapers longer than other kids in her daycare (a stranger even once remarked to me in a public bathroom that she was too old for diapers. Yeah, rude parenting advice from random strangers is also a thing you'll have to get used to). So of course I stressed about it. <em style="font-size:80%">Photo by <a href="http://lifehacker.us1.list-manage2.com/track/click?u=251e609e1dba3888b86c21cc8&id=cb9a84eed1&e=d8e4ad1170" style="text-decoration: none;color: #719602;">Manish Bansal</a></em></p> <p style="margin: 0 0 13px;clear: left;">Looking back, though, I accept each kid develops on his or her own timeframe. All that time my daughter wasn't learning how to walk, she was using her energy to learn how to speak.</p> <p style="margin: 0 0 13px;clear: left;">So try not to rush getting your child to talk, walk, run, or read. They grow up all too fast anyway. (By the way, I tried that "teach your kid to be potty trained in one day" mythical method, and it totally backfired. I should have just done what Walter did with his two kids and waited until she was obviously ready.)</p> <h3 style="font-weight: bold;margin: 0 0 13px;">8. You Can Never Take Too Many Pictures or Videos</h3> <p style="margin: 0 0 13px;clear: left;">In the first few years, you're probably going to constantly take pictures and videos. Sadly, that falls off as you and they get older. You will never regret having too many pictures of your rapidly growing child, though, so it's something to watch out for.</p> <p style="margin: 0 0 13px;clear: left;">It also helps if you develop a habit of organizing your photos and videos soon after you take them. Otherwise, you'll have a mess of images and videos that are as daunting as the thousands of emails you have in your inbox.</p> <p style="margin: 0 0 13px;clear: left;">Most important, though: Backup, backup, and backup your photos and videos, both locally and offsite. (We like <a href="http://lifehacker.us1.list-manage1.com/track/click?u=251e609e1dba3888b86c21cc8&id=d7f3f5ec6a&e=d8e4ad1170" style="text-decoration: none;color: #719602;">Crashplan for an automated, bulletproof backup system</a>.) Those files are probably the most precious ones to save.</p> <h3 style="font-weight: bold;margin: 0 0 13px;">9. Going Out&mdash;Anywhere&mdash;Will Never Be the Same</h3> <p style="margin: 0 0 13px;clear: left;"><a href="http://lifehacker.us1.list-manage.com/track/click?u=251e609e1dba3888b86c21cc8&id=7797cc9991&e=d8e4ad1170" style="text-decoration: none;color: #719602;"><img src="http://img.gawkerassets.com/img/18guu2kst5lofjpg/medium.jpg" width="300" class="image_5 right v10_medium" alt="10 Things I Wish I Had Known Before Becoming a Parent" title="10 Things I Wish I Had Known Before Becoming a Parent" style="display: block;float: left;margin: 5px 13px 10px 0;"></a>Once you become a parent, time shifts. What used to be a five-minute run to the store will now take forty-five minutes to account for bundling, dawdling, snack-packing, car-seat-fiddling, and other extra steps.</p> <p style="margin: 0 0 13px;clear: left;">Eating out is also a whole new experience. There are Cheerios on the floor to feel guilty about, crayons to keep from rolling off the table, and angry-looking fellow diners (at least in your mind) to deal with. And if you manage to get out for a date night alone with your significant other, you'll probably spend all of the time talking or worrying about your child. <em style="font-size:80%">Photo by <a href="http://lifehacker.us1.list-manage.com/track/click?u=251e609e1dba3888b86c21cc8&id=b60956a991&e=d8e4ad1170" style="text-decoration: none;color: #719602;">Lordcolus</a></em></p> <h3 style="font-weight: bold;margin: 0 0 13px;">10. <em>You</em> Will Never Be the Same</h3> <p style="margin: 0 0 13px;clear: left;">Parenting changes you. I expected this, but I didn't expect just how radically it would. It's not like you turn into your mom or dad overnight, but your values, perspective, and habits get realigned to one single creature: your child (or your children, if you have more than one).</p> <p style="margin: 0 0 13px;clear: left;">It also means:</p> <ul> <li>Your habits might change for the better. You'll think more about the nutritional value of your food, driving safely, spending money more wisely, living longer, and exemplifying good ethics.</li> <li>Poop will no longer be taboo (if it ever was). Oh, the poop stories you will be able to tell when you're a parent.</li> <li>Your relationship with your partner will change. You can't really know until it happens whether it's for better or worse, but parenting changes the other person too and how you look at him/her.</li> <li>You may have to part with previous entertainment choices. (Play video games and watch TV? Sure, but now it's Talking Tom and My Little Pony/Voltron.)</li> <li>You will never take free time for granted again.</li> <li>You might actually have more fun and become more creative. (Inventing dog costumes, drawing on the sidewalk, and trying new ways to make peas appealing weren't on my to-do list before.)</li> <li>You will likely experience a love and a bond that you never could've imagined.</li> </ul> <p style="margin: 0 0 13px;clear: left;">Finally, just one last thing to know: None of the negative stuff on this list&mdash;as terrible and messy as they sound&mdash;will really bother you in the long run. You'll discover many new things about yourself as a parent&mdash;things that make you stronger, and more vulnerable in a sense too. Author <a href="http://lifehacker.us1.list-manage.com/track/click?u=251e609e1dba3888b86c21cc8&id=14faeeff09&e=d8e4ad1170" style="text-decoration: none;color: #719602;">Elizabeth Stone</a> made this terribly true observation: "Making the decision to have a child is momentous. It is to decide forever to have your heart walking around outside your body." I think most parents would agree that it is so, so worth it. Just think of this as mental preparation.</p> <!-- AmazonCarousel --><!-- runScript --><span class="customObject framed" style="background-color: #f0f0f0;border: 1px solid #ccc;display: block;float:

You can see the 3 parts of the project linked to below. Tobias is using a real time clock connected to an Arduino to keep accurate time, he found a good library for controlling the LED Pixels and to mount it he had a custom laser cut mounting plate made.

title="The Complete Guide to Turning Your Video Game Console Into a Living Room Media Center" style="display: block;float: left;margin: 5px 13px 10px 0;width: 100%;"></a>Your video game console is great for playing games, but you might not realize it's also one of the best media centers around. Here's how to set up all of the modern consoles so you can stream videos and music to them right from your computer. <!-- %JUMP:More &raquo;% --></p> <p style="margin: 0 0 13px;clear: left;">The PS3 and the Xbox 360 both have media center capabilities built right in, so they're easy to set up. The Wii (and Wii U) don't have as much built-in, but have workarounds that can turn them into media boxes as well. In this post, we'll break down how to set up each console, as well as the best practices for getting the best quality out of your stream.</p> <h3 style="font-weight: bold;margin: 0 0 13px;">What You'll Need</h3> <p style="margin: 0 0 13px;clear: left;">For the Xbox and PS3, we'll use PS3 Media Server (despite it's name it works great on the Xbox 360) because it's simple, free, and cross-platform, but <a href="http://lifehacker.us1.list-manage.com/track/click?u=251e609e1dba3888b86c21cc8&id=b4f12761ad&e=d8e4ad1170" style="text-decoration: none;color: #719602;">you have plenty of other options</a>. With the PS3 and Xbox 360 you can also copy videos directly to the hard drive (or play via a USB stick). It's cumbersome compared to streaming wirelessly, but we'll talk a little bit about that at the end. For now, let's stick to the power of wireless streaming.</p> <p style="margin: 0 0 13px;clear: left;">We've talked about plenty of custom <a href="http://lifehacker.us1.list-manage.com/track/click?u=251e609e1dba3888b86c21cc8&id=f47f8a19df&e=d8e4ad1170" style="text-decoration: none;color: #719602;">home theater builds</a>, including a powerful <a href="http://lifehacker.us1.list-manage.com/track/click?u=251e609e1dba3888b86c21cc8&id=e727cb1386&e=d8e4ad1170" style="text-decoration: none;color: #719602;">$500 one</a> and even <a href="http://lifehacker.us1.list-manage1.com/track/click?u=251e609e1dba3888b86c21cc8&id=7a908e3cc6&e=d8e4ad1170" style="text-decoration: none;color: #719602;">a $35 one made from a Raspberry Pi</a>. But the best part about using a game console as a media center is the fact it's already in your living room. Provided you already own a console, you don't really need much to get started:</p> <ul> <li>A Xbox 360, PS3, Wii, or Wii U.</li> <li>A computer with a copy of <a href="http://lifehacker.us1.list-manage.com/track/click?u=251e609e1dba3888b86c21cc8&id=43c8148bcb&e=d8e4ad1170" style="text-decoration: none;color: #719602;">PS3 Media Server</a> (for PS3 and Xbox), <a href="http://lifehacker.us1.list-manage2.com/track/click?u=251e609e1dba3888b86c21cc8&id=a4c0a05a9e&e=d8e4ad1170" style="text-decoration: none;color: #719602;">Orb Caster</a> (for Wii), or <a href="http://lifehacker.us1.list-manage1.com/track/click?u=251e609e1dba3888b86c21cc8&id=876a637f4b&e=d8e4ad1170" style="text-decoration: none;color: #719602;">VidiiU Streamer</a> (for Wii U).</li> <li>A <a href="http://lifehacker.us1.list-manage.com/track/click?u=251e609e1dba3888b86c21cc8&id=9ba6d3f766&e=d8e4ad1170" style="text-decoration: none;color: #719602;">home network</a> with your computer and game console connected to the same router.</li> </ul> <p style="margin: 0 0 13px;clear: left;">When you're all set up, you're able to stream videos, audio, and photos to your TV and home entertainment center wirelessly with just a couple clicks.

It's also the fact that you can load up Amazon, Netflix, Vudu, YouTube, and other video apps so that you have access to pretty much every movie on the planet. You can add these apps directly from your console's app stores (though of course, you'll also need an account with Netflix, Amazon, and the other services you want to use).

know already whether yours is one of them. At some companies, people love coming in every day. At others, the paycheck is the only thing stopping the staff from burning the place down. If your company sounds like the latter, here's what you can do&mdash;at any level of the organization&mdash;to make your company a better place to work. <!-- %JUMP:More &raquo;% --></p> <p style="margin: 0 0 13px;clear: left;">Being a great place to work goes deeper than high pay and great benefits: the work environment and attitude of the employees are important too. The best companies appreciate their workers and offer them benefits and perks that make them feel valued. They also train managers to work efficiently, treat their employees like adults, trust them to get their work done, and judge them on their performance. It all sounds logical, but if all companies were so above-board, everyone would love their jobs. Sadly, we know better.</p> <p style="margin: 0 0 13px;clear: left;">In this guide, we'll walk you through some things you can do, whether you're entry-level, standard staff, middle management, or a manager, to make your company&mdash;or at least your team&mdash;more friendly.

For example, <a href="http://lifehacker.us1.list-manage1.com/track/click?u=251e609e1dba3888b86c21cc8&id=39d1dd4c2d&e=d8e4ad1170" style="text-decoration: none;color: #719602;">the 2013 Best Companies to Work For</a> list has been published, and you'll see some familiar names at the top of the list. Not all of them have the same things in common though. Great Places to Work says the criteria for a great place is simple:</p> <blockquote style="margin: 20px 0 20px 20px;padding: 10px 10px 1px;font-style: normal;background-color: #f6f6f6;border-left: 4px solid #ccc;color: #222;"> <p style="margin: 0 0 13px;clear: left;">Employees believe they work for great organizations when they consistently:</p> <ul> <li><b>TRUST</b> the people they work for;</li> <li>Have <b>PRIDE</b> in what they do; and</li> <li><b>ENJOY</b> the people they work with.</li> </ul> </blockquote> <p style="margin: 0 0 13px;clear: left;">It's important to note that a long list of benefits and perks does not a great company make. You can offer employees free lunches, tons of relaxation space, flexible work hours, and more, and they'll still hate working for you if they don't have the more basic needs met. <i style="font-size:80%">Photo by <a href="http://lifehacker.us1.list-manage1.com/track/click?u=251e609e1dba3888b86c21cc8&id=b4cce42894&e=d8e4ad1170" style="text-decoration: none;color: #719602;">Promisa Art Studio</a>.</i></p> <p style="margin: 0 0 13px;clear: left;">Great Places to Work <a href="http://lifehacker.us1.list-manage.com/track/click?u=251e609e1dba3888b86c21cc8&id=8808cfbdbe&e=d8e4ad1170" style="text-decoration: none;color: #719602;">goes into detail about this here</a>, but the point is that if you're looking to make your company a better place, benefits and perks only go so far. They have to be used in a way that doesn't just make people happy for the moment, but reinforces the fact that they're appreciated, their work is appreciated, and they're working with people they like and trust. Keep that in mind while we walk through some of the things you can do to improve your workplace.</p> <h3 style="font-weight: bold;margin: 0 0 13px;">What You Can Do To Make Your Company a Better Place to Work</h3> <p style="margin: 0 0 13px;clear: left;"><a href="http://lifehacker.us1.list-manage2.com/track/click?u=251e609e1dba3888b86c21cc8&id=92e917f092&e=d8e4ad1170" style="text-decoration: none;color: #719602;"><img src="http://img.gawkerassets.com/img/18gncbw9zpinmjpg/medium.jpg" width="300" class="image_2 right v10_medium" alt="How to Turn Your Hellhole of a Company Into a Great Place to Work" title="How to Turn Your Hellhole of a Company Into a Great Place to Work" style="display: block;float: left;margin: 5px 13px 10px 0;"></a> You don't have to be an executive or an HR director with a budget to make some basic changes that'll improve your work environment (although it helps.) Let's take a look at what you can do on any level of the company to improve things for yourself and your peers, your department, and the whole company. <i style="font-size:80%">Photo by <a href="http://lifehacker.us1.list-manage.com/track/click?u=251e609e1dba3888b86c21cc8&id=67eda29560&e=d8e4ad1170" style="text-decoration: none;color: #719602;">Russell Yarwood</a>.</i></p> <h4 class="modfont" style="font-weight: bold;margin: 0 0 13px;font-size: 90% !important;"><b>Entry Level, Non-Management, or Any Employee</b></h4> <p style="margin: 0 0 13px;clear: left;">At this level it might seem like there's nothing you can do&mdash;or nothing you'd be allowed to do&mdash;to brighten up your workplace. That's not always the case. We discussed a few things <a href="http://lifehacker.us1.list-manage2.com/track/click?u=251e609e1dba3888b86c21cc8&id=9fbe2c6418&e=d8e4ad1170" style="text-decoration: none;color: #719602;">you can do for yourself when you feel like your job sucks</a>, but there are other things you can do with your colleagues to make things better for everyone:</p> <ul> <li><b>Start small and talk to your manager</b>. Before you go too far, the first thing you should do is make sure that there's something you <em>can</em> do without upsetting your boss, or their boss. For example, your manager may be more than happy to help you organize a potluck lunch or something, but they probably can't cordon off part of your team's work space as an impromptu lounge. They may be able to give you some flexibility to work from home, but they can't make that change for everyone in the company, or maybe even your department. Let your boss know that morale is low and you'd like to do something to bring it up. See what's possible.</li> <li><b>Break down the walls between your colleagues</b>. Small social activities can go a long way. It sounds corny, but when they're genuine and meaningful (and most importantly, things that everyone <em>wants to do</em> versus things they feel forced to do because management is asking them to do them) they can brighten up a workplace and help foster the kind of trust and collaboration that the best companies have in droves. How you do this is up to you and your office&mdash;a lot of companies have potluck lunches, but why not turn it into a chili cookoff with a prize for the best pot? Better yet, have a panel of judges&mdash;make them all regular people judging managers' recipes. At my last company, we were all gamers, so every couple of months we all brought in our rigs, set up a small LAN, and held LAN parties. It's amazing how lobbing a grenade over a wall at your CIO makes you appreciate him more.</li> <li><b>Organize and sit down with management</b>. We're not talking about forming a union or anything, just making sure everyone's on board with a very small set of proposals that you think your manager or department head can help you with, and then see if they're possible. Start slow with small changes that you think will make the biggest impact for everyone, whether it's a place to eat lunch in peace that isn't your desk, a potluck luncheon every month, or something else small that will help everyone warm up to each other a little more. Whatever you do though, make sure its genuine: skip the trust falls and go for the things that people actually enjoy.</li> </ul> <h4 class="modfont" style="font-weight: bold;margin: 0 0 13px;font-size: 90% !important;"><b>Middle Management or Senior Staff (eg, When You Speak, Your Boss Listens)</b></h4> <p style="margin: 0 0 13px;clear: left;"><a href="http://lifehacker.us1.list-manage.com/track/click?u=251e609e1dba3888b86c21cc8&id=9fa2684d2b&e=d8e4ad1170" style="text-decoration: none;color: #719602;"><img src="http://img.gawkerassets.com/img/18gnbtp7poml9jpg/medium.jpg" width="300" class="image_3 right v10_medium" alt="How to Turn Your Hellhole of a Company Into a Great Place to Work" title="How to Turn Your Hellhole of a Company Into a Great Place to Work" style="display: block;float: left;margin: 5px 13px 10px 0;"></a> If you're the type of employee that has a little pull with your boss, you've been around for a couple of years and have some friends at work, or you're just in the position to suggest something bigger than a potluck, consider some more substantive changes:</p> <ul> <li><b>Don't forget to start small</b>. Just because you're more senior doesn't mean that you can just jump in feet first. Again, make sure you're clear on what you can and can't do, and start with some of the smaller suggestions. They can get your feet wet, show you how much resistance you'll run into, and whether or not anyone will actually appreciate the changes you're trying to make. You may get more traction starting with something small, like asking if a supply closet can get some lights, a table, and some comfortable chairs so you can have a comfortable place to eat lunch. That'll probably fly before you get a full-on lounge. Similarly, if you can't get a sandwich counter in the office, ask if anyone would care if you asked some local food trucks to come down to the building around lunch time&mdash;if you can get your colleagues to go with you, everyone wins: your coworkers get a treat, you get delicious food, your company is suddenly more attractive ("Yeah, we have food trucks come down from time to time,"), and a local business gets valuable customers. <i style="font-size:80%">Photo by <a href="http://lifehacker.us1.list-manage.com/track/click?u=251e609e1dba3888b86c21cc8&id=14fa9aae7e&e=d8e4ad1170" style="text-decoration: none;color: #719602;">Robert Banh</a>.</i></li> <li><b>Suggest policies that encourage happier, more productive teams</b>. See if your department could start a telework program, or ask if everyone can try working from home one day a week. There's been a <a href="http://lifehacker.us1.list-manage1.com/track/click?u=251e609e1dba3888b86c21cc8&id=bf4a9b1751&e=d8e4ad1170" style="text-decoration: none;color: #719602;">lot of controversy about working remotely</a> lately, but for most people and most companies, it's still a great option. Plus, it shows a lot of trust when management can say "Yes, we trust you to get your work done even if we can't see you doing it." That's huge, and its impact on individual workers can't really be minimized. If the work that your team does doesn't require you to have your butt in a seat or a physical presence in your working area for eight hours a day, it can go a long way. Telework is a great example here, but it's not the only one: starting a "bring your pet to work day" can help a lot assuming your office isn't dominated by people with allergies, for example.</li> <li><a href="http://lifehacker.us1.list-manage.com/track/click?u=251e609e1dba3888b86c21cc8&id=6d07db861d&e=d8e4ad1170" style="text-decoration: none;color: #719602;"><img src="http://img.gawkerassets.com/img/18gncsk3950v7jpg/medium.jpg" width="300" class="image_4 right v10_medium" alt="How to Turn Your Hellhole of a Company Into a Great Place to Work" title="How to Turn Your Hellhole of a Company Into a Great Place to Work" style="display: block;float: left;margin: 5px 13px 10px 0;"></a> <b>Lead the charge</b>. The key to making any place a better one is to be tenacious. You won't be able to just throw a suggestion at your manager or their manager and then walk away assuming it'll happen. You have to be willing to take the reins and do the work required. Bonus: you get to be a leader and show your commitment not just to a project, but to the company, which will go far with people who may not even be involved. <p style="margin: 0 0 13px;clear: left;">An example: at my last job, when we moved into a new building, the company built on a bistro as well&mdash;a small cold counter where pre-made sandwiches and salads, delivered every morning, were sold to employees and there were plenty of tables for everyone to sit and have lunch. We even had a pair of fountain soda machines, an iced tea brewer, and an espresso machine. Pretty sweet, but none of them would have been there if people didn't ask for them and the CEO didn't agree. Ultimately it was our receptionist and a few others who led the charge in selecting the vendors who provided the sandwiches and salads: the side benefit being that whenever they came in to show off their culinary skills, everyone in the office got to benefit with a free lunch. You don't have to be an exec to help make those necessary decisions, and since the receptionist asked us all for our opinions about the food, we all had a role in making sure the food we got was food we would enjoy. <i style="font-size:80%">Photo by <a href="http://lifehacker.us1.list-manage.com/track/click?u=251e609e1dba3888b86c21cc8&id=f594764d2d&e=d8e4ad1170" style="text-decoration: none;color: #719602;">Mike Beltzner</a>.</i></p> </li> </ul> <h4 class="modfont" style="font-weight: bold;margin: 0 0 13px;font-size: 90% !important;"><b>Senior Management, Directors, Execs</b></h4> <p style="margin: 0 0 13px;clear: left;"><a href="http://lifehacker.us1.list-manage.com/track/click?u=251e609e1dba3888b86c21cc8&id=5e6c97d769&e=d8e4ad1170" style="text-decoration: none;color: #719602;"><img src="http://img.gawkerassets.com/img/18gngvtr9vuitjpg/medium.jpg" width="300" class="image_5 right v10_medium" alt="How to Turn Your Hellhole of a Company Into a Great Place to Work" title="How to Turn Your Hellhole of a Company Into a Great Place to Work" style="display: block;float: left;margin: 5px 13px 10px 0;"></a> If you're a real power broker in your organization, or you have the ability to influence company policy as a whole (or maybe just your own department), why not use it to make your team happier, and more attractive to new talent? After all, you will need to hire at some point, and your position will be much stronger if you can outline the ways that your team is one of the best teams in the company to work for. If they catch on, or the rest of the company takes notice, you could be responsible for something big that really does make the whole company a great place to work.</p> <ul> <li><b>Chat with HR about the changes you'd like to make</b>. You're not in this alone, and your HR department may be able to lend you some help when it comes to making the changes you'd like to make. Whether you want to give some people on your team the option of telecommuting, or you'd like to give your team a lunch area, you never know&mdash;instead of just turning a spare closet into a lounge, see if there are any empty spaces in the building that everyone could use, not just your department. Turn a conference room into an Xbox or Wii room for an hour or two every Friday. Also, if you're planning anything after hours, make sure you're not running afoul of any company policies or regulations around overtime or employee hours in the process. <i style="font-size:80%">Photo by <a href="http://lifehacker.us1.list-manage.com/track/click?u=251e609e1dba3888b86c21cc8&id=8a100ba2ed&e=d8e4ad1170" style="text-decoration: none;color: #719602;">Tomas Quinones</a>.</i></li> <li><b>Don't force your team, let it happen naturally</b>. If there's anything most employees have, it's a finely tuned BS detector. They know when you're doing something because you want to "improve morale and make the department more fun" versus you genuinely want them to be happier and have a good time. Err on the side of the latter, and don't judge your team if participation is low at the outset. If morale is low, you'll have a hard time getting people to stay late for a poker night when all they want to do is go home. Just make sure you get a few people and start building a core group that really does enjoy the activity you've planned. It'll grow organically from there as long as the doors are open and you invite people on a no-stress basis.</li> <li><a href="http://lifehacker.us1.list-manage.com/track/click?u=251e609e1dba3888b86c21cc8&id=c6a137219f&e=d8e4ad1170" style="text-decoration: none;color: #719602;"><img src="http://img.gawkerassets.com/img/18gnd0c9r0nojjpg/medium.jpg" width="300" class="image_6 right v10_medium" alt="How to Turn Your Hellhole of a Company Into a Great Place to Work" title="How to Turn Your Hellhole of a Company Into a Great Place to Work" style="display: block;float: left;margin: 5px 13px 10px 0;"></a> <b>Shamelessly borrow policies from the best</b>. Some of the perks and policies that make other companies a great place to work are actually surprisingly easy to implement. Granted, they'll differ based on the corporate culture you have and the type of work that you do (if you're a director in a shipping company, for example, the benefits at a tech company may not be work for you) but network with other directors at other companies. See what makes their teams successful and how they're handling the challenges of a team that's interested only in their paychecks. Make no mistake, some people will only ever be interested in their paycheck, but you all have to see each other for 40+ hours a week&mdash;the least you can all do is enjoy the time you spend together. Get in touch with other companies and managers that understand that and agree with you and see how they made it all work. Not only do you have the benefit of networking, you'll get some valuable insight you can bring back with you. <i style="font-size:80%">Photo by <a href="http://lifehacker.us1.list-manage.com/track/click?u=251e609e1dba3888b86c21cc8&id=da57c134de&e=d8e4ad1170" style="text-decoration: none;color: #719602;">AoStefan</a>.</i></li> <li><b>Build a better working environment from the inside out</b>. Remember, Great Places to Work says that the best places don't just have a laundry list of perks, there's actually a sense of <a href="http://lifehacker.us1.list-manage.com/track/click?u=251e609e1dba3888b86c21cc8&id=675ab76d73&e=d8e4ad1170" style="text-decoration: none;color: #719602;">mutual trust and respect among employees, managers, and directors</a>. It can be difficult to foster, and in many cases your HR department can help, but in the end you're the one who knows and leads your team. Treating your employees with fairness and respect, trusting them to do their jobs and evaluating them fairly on their performance, and encouraging them to help and work with one another will all go much further than speedy new computers and free lunches (although all of those things help too!)</li> </ul> <h3 style="font-weight: bold;margin: 0 0 13px;">Every Great Place to Work Has to Start Somewhere</h3> <p style="margin: 0 0 13px;clear: left;">Let's be honest: It's easier to just quit and find a company that has the perks that you like, or keep searching until you find a corporate culture where you really fit in than it is to actually make these small changes and try to improve your working conditions from the inside. It's why so many of us just give up when things start sucking and start looking for a new job.</p> <p style="margin: 0 0 13px;clear: left;">Unfortunately, jobs are scarce these days in every industry, and everyone knows it. Sometimes it's better to put in a little effort to keep the one you have, and starting off small and slow like this is a great way to make the kinds of changes that will ultimately make your company not just better for you, but more attractive to other great talent. You need to be willing to stick to your guns, lead the charge, and go out on a limb to make the time you spend at work a little better for everyone. After all, you spend <a href="http://lifehacker.us1.list-manage1.com/track/click?u=251e609e1dba3888b86c21cc8&id=2becb5e6b7&e=d8e4ad1170" style="text-decoration: none;color: #719602;">at least 40 hours a week</a> (and many of you said you spend <a href="http://lifehacker.us1.list-manage.com/track/click?u=251e609e1dba3888b86c21cc8&id=456329dae9&e=d8e4ad1170" style="text-decoration: none;color: #719602;">more than that</a>) at the office.

Makes me want to get a few MOTs connected to a large variac and have fun. I think this would be a great seller at a farmers market type setting where people can see the creative art being made in front of their eyes. <a target="_blank" href="mailto:hoffmelanie@gmail.com">Melanie Hoff</a> is using a 15,000 power supply and uses nails and large clips to get the voltage to the wood. You can see that water was used to enhance the conductivity of the wood. You can see that when the path was completed a very controlled burn would occur along the path between the cables.</p> <p>Via: <a target="_blank"

Focus Hard: If You're Busy, You're Doing Something Wrong" style="display: block;float: left;margin: 5px 13px 10px 0;width: 100%;"></a>Hard work may pay off, but there's a big difference between tackling a difficult task and putting in a lot of hours. Cal Newport, assistant professor at Georgetown University, decided to look at the work habits of talented people and found that busier wasn't better. In fact, it was much worse than limited, focused work. <!-- %JUMP:More &raquo;% --></p> <p style="margin: 0 0 13px;clear: left;">Cal analyzed a study from the Universität der Künste in Berlin that looked at the practice habits of violinists, his own behavior, and a few other sources to find patterns amongst talented people. Long hours wasn't one of them. In fact, that turned out to be a problem rather than a solution. Instead, focused work for about three to four hours made all the difference:</p> <blockquote style="margin: 20px 0 20px 20px;padding: 10px 10px 1px;font-style: normal;background-color: #f6f6f6;border-left: 4px solid #ccc;color: #222;"> <p style="margin: 0 0 13px;clear: left;">Whether you're a student or well along in your career, if your goal is to build a remarkable life, then busyness and exhaustion should be your enemy. If you're chronically stressed and up late working, you're doing something wrong. You're the average players from the Universität der Künste - not the elite. You've built a life around hard to do work, not hard work. The solution suggested by this research, as well as my own, is as simple as it is startling: Do less. But do what you do with complete and hard focus. Then when you're done be done, and go enjoy the rest of the day.</p> </blockquote> <p style="margin: 0 0 13px;clear: left;">Putting that advice into practice may be easier said than done. If you have the ability to focus for a good chunk of time and not waste your day trying to do everything on your list, however, research will back you up.</p> <p class="arrow" style="margin: 0 0

iPhone to Android, here's what to expect, how to adjust, and how to cope with certain app withdrawal. <!-- %JUMP:More &raquo;% --></p> <p style="margin: 0 0 13px;clear: left;">The original version of this guide was written a couple of years back, in the days of Android 2.3. Since then, things have changed dramatically. Apple had their <a href="http://lifehacker.us1.list-manage.com/track/click?u=251e609e1dba3888b86c21cc8&id=b0d1864910&e=d8e4ad1170" style="text-decoration: none;color: #719602;">Maps debacle</a>, Android <a href="http://lifehacker.us1.list-manage.com/track/click?u=251e609e1dba3888b86c21cc8&id=2d6167aaef&e=d8e4ad1170" style="text-decoration: none;color: #719602;">Jelly Bean brought an incredibly smooth user interface</a>, and much more. While both operating systems offer distinct advantages, iOS often frustrates those who want control over how they use their phones (rather than the other way around). After five years of iPhones, I found myself in that camp and made the switch to a Nexus 4. Switching was easier than I thought, but still brought about a number of challenges. Just because you ultimately choose Android doesn't mean you don't want a lot of what iOS has to offer. In this post, we'll look at how to adjust to Android's differences and bring in the comforts of iOS you may miss.

In iOS, pretty much everything happens with the home button. In Android, you don't have a physical home button but rather a series of three or four touch buttons at the bottom of your screen. They generally go in this order:</p> <p style="margin: 0 0 13px;clear: left;"><a href="http://lifehacker.us1.list-manage2.com/track/click?u=251e609e1dba3888b86c21cc8&id=0e06d471ee&e=d8e4ad1170" style="text-decoration: none;color: #719602;"><img src="http://img.gawkerassets.com/img/18ggc83wygxiojpg/medium.jpg" width="300" class="image_1 right v10_medium" alt="Jumping Ship from iPhone to Android: A Switcher's Guide" title="Jumping Ship from iPhone to Android: A Switcher's Guide" style="display: block;float: left;margin: 5px 13px 10px 0;"></a></p> <ul> <li><b>Back</b>: A curvy arrow pointing left</li> <li><b>Home</b>: The outline of a house</li> <li><b>Multitasking Drawer</b>: One rectangle on top of the other</li> <li><b>Settings</b>: Vertical ellipsis (not all devices display this button at all times, or in the bottom row)</li> </ul> <div style="clear: both;"></div> <p style="margin: 0 0 13px;clear: left;"><a href="http://lifehacker.us1.list-manage.com/track/click?u=251e609e1dba3888b86c21cc8&id=f139f14180&e=d8e4ad1170" style="text-decoration: none;color: #719602;"><img src="http://img.gawkerassets.com/post/17/2013/02/0800-back-button.jpg" title="Jumping Ship from iPhone to Android: A Switcher's Guide" alt="Jumping Ship from iPhone to Android: A Switcher's Guide" width="140" height="94" align="right" class="right" style="display: block;float: left;margin: 5px 13px 10px 0;"></a>The <b>back button</b> has long been a source of confusion for everyone because its functionality is far from consistent. In most cases, it'll just take you to the last thing you did in an app. If there is no last thing, it may take you back to your home screen. In general, you can expect this functionality but don't be surprised if it does something else. This is just an unfortunate user experience issue in Android that has yet to be fixed.</p> <div style="clear: both;"></div> <p style="margin: 0 0 13px;clear: left;"><a href="http://lifehacker.us1.list-manage1.com/track/click?u=251e609e1dba3888b86c21cc8&id=3e51f404da&e=d8e4ad1170" style="text-decoration: none;color: #719602;"><img src="http://img.gawkerassets.com/post/17/2013/02/0800-home-button.jpg" title="Jumping Ship from iPhone to Android: A Switcher's Guide" alt="Jumping Ship from iPhone to Android: A Switcher's Guide" width="129" height="94" align="right" class="right" style="display: block;float: left;margin: 5px 13px 10px 0;"></a>The <b>home button</b> simply takes you back to your home screen.</p> <div style="clear: both;"></div> <p style="margin: 0 0 13px;clear: left;"><a href="http://lifehacker.us1.list-manage.com/track/click?u=251e609e1dba3888b86c21cc8&id=b3469fa6bb&e=d8e4ad1170" style="text-decoration: none;color: #719602;"><img src="http://img.gawkerassets.com/post/17/2013/02/0800-multitasking-button.jpg" title="Jumping Ship from iPhone to Android: A Switcher's Guide" alt="Jumping Ship from iPhone to Android: A Switcher's Guide" width="130" height="94" align="right" class="right" style="display: block;float: left;margin: 5px 13px 10px 0;"></a>The <b>multitasking drawer</b> shows you your active apps so you can quickly switch between them without the need to go back to your home screen or open your app drawer. It works similarly to iOS, though it provides a vertical list (instead of a horizontal one) and provides a preview of the open app. Instead of tapping and holding to close apps, you just swipe them away.</p> <div style="clear: both;"></div> <p style="margin: 0 0 13px;clear: left;"><a href="http://lifehacker.us1.list-manage.com/track/click?u=251e609e1dba3888b86c21cc8&id=f2ebc843f7&e=d8e4ad1170" style="text-decoration: none;color: #719602;"><img src="http://img.gawkerassets.com/post/17/2013/02/0800-settings-button.jpg" title="Jumping Ship from iPhone to Android: A Switcher's Guide" alt="Jumping Ship from iPhone to Android: A Switcher's Guide" width="99" height="93" align="right" class="right" style="display: block;float: left;margin: 5px 13px 10px 0;"></a>The <b>settings button</b> is sometimes a soft button like the others mentioned in this section, but on certain devices it'll just appear contextually in apps. Just know that if you see a vertical ellipsis (three dots stacked on top of each other), that's where you'll access an app's settings. To get to your phone's system settings, just open the Settings app in your app drawer, on your home screen (if you keep it there), or via the notification drawer (explained later, in the Notifications section).</p> <p style="margin: 0 0 13px;clear: left;"><i><a style="font-size: 80%;text-decoration: none;color: #719602;" href="#toc">Go back to the top</a>.</i></p> <div style="clear: both;"></div> <p style="margin: 0 0 13px;clear: left;"><a name="homescreens" id="homescreens" style="text-decoration: none;color: #719602;"></a></p> <h3 style="font-weight: bold;margin: 0 0 13px;">Home Screens</h3> <p style="margin: 0 0 13px;clear: left;"><a rel="lytebox" href="http://lifehacker.us1.list-manage.com/track/click?u=251e609e1dba3888b86c21cc8&id=ebce917d5d&e=d8e4ad1170" style="text-decoration: none;color: #719602;"></a><a href="http://lifehacker.us1.list-manage.com/track/click?u=251e609e1dba3888b86c21cc8&id=2f1690d119&e=d8e4ad1170" style="text-decoration: none;color: #719602;"><img src="http://img.gawkerassets.com/img/18ggc87v3dm6tpng/medium.png" width="300" class="image_6 right v10_medium" alt="Jumping Ship from iPhone to Android: A Switcher's Guide" title="Jumping Ship from iPhone to Android: A Switcher's Guide" style="display: block;float: left;margin: 5px 13px 10px 0;"></a>Like iOS, Android can have many home screens. On many phones, you'll have five. Some phones may have more or less. Rather than left to right, your primary home screen (or page, if you prefer to think of it that way) starts in the middle with additional ones to the left and right. On Android, you can display apps and make folders just like you did on iOS by tapping, holding, and dragging an app onto another app. Android doesn't force you to place anything on your home screen, however, so you have to do a little more work to make it look the way you want. While this might seem more complicated and tedious, organizing your Android home screen offers several distinct advantages. First, you don't have to display any apps you don't want and only the ones you do. Second, you can add widgets that provide information and functionality. Third, you can download custom launchers that let your home screen do even more for you, such as customize its appearance. We'll discuss all three in this section.</p> <div style="clear: both;"></div> <h4 class="modfont" style="font-weight: bold;margin: 0 0 13px;font-size: 90% !important;"><b>How to Add and Organize Apps and Widgets</b></h4> <p style="margin: 0 0 13px;clear: left;"><a rel="lytebox" href="http://lifehacker.us1.list-manage2.com/track/click?u=251e609e1dba3888b86c21cc8&id=abed84eaf9&e=d8e4ad1170" style="text-decoration: none;color: #719602;"></a><a href="http://lifehacker.us1.list-manage.com/track/click?u=251e609e1dba3888b86c21cc8&id=47ed8ff0f4&e=d8e4ad1170" style="text-decoration: none;color: #719602;"><img src="http://img.gawkerassets.com/img/18ggc87v5mfbqpng/medium.png" width="300" class="image_7 right v10_medium" alt="Jumping Ship from iPhone to Android: A Switcher's Guide" title="Jumping Ship from iPhone to Android: A Switcher's Guide" style="display: block;float: left;margin: 5px 13px 10px 0;"></a>Unlike iOS, Android doesn't show all your apps on the home screen by default. Instead, you can add your most important ones to your home screen and find the rest inside the app drawer. The app drawer is a little icon (in your home screen's dock by default) that you tap to view your entire collection of apps. Once you're inside your app drawer, tapping and holding any app will take you back to your home screen so you can create a shortcut. Just place it wherever you want and you're all done.</p> <p style="margin: 0 0 13px;clear: left;">Alternatively, there is a second way to add shortcuts to your home screen. While on the home screen, you can tap any empty space and hold for a moment. This will bring up a menu asking you want you want to add. Just choose the app you want and it'll appear on the home screen. Tap and hold to move it around.</p> <p style="margin: 0 0 13px;clear: left;">If you want to remove an app shortcut (which will <em>not</em> uninstall the app), just drag it to the letter X at the top of the screen and let go.</p> <div style="clear: both;"></div> <p style="margin: 0 0 13px;clear: left;">Widgets work in the exact same ways. If you tap an empty space on your home screen, choose the Widgets option to add a widget instead. You can also add widgets from your app drawer by scrolling past all your apps and into the widget section. Tapping and holding will allow you to place them on your home screen. In the latest version of Android, you can also change their size by dragging along the edges.</p> <div style="clear: both;"></div> <h4 class="modfont" style="font-weight: bold;margin: 0 0 13px;font-size: 90% !important;"><b>How to Change Your Launcher</b></h4> <p style="margin: 0 0 13px;clear: left;"><a rel="lytebox" href="http://lifehacker.us1.list-manage1.com/track/click?u=251e609e1dba3888b86c21cc8&id=6cebe94bda&e=d8e4ad1170" style="text-decoration: none;color: #719602;"></a><a href="http://lifehacker.us1.list-manage.com/track/click?u=251e609e1dba3888b86c21cc8&id=6250c75467&e=d8e4ad1170" style="text-decoration: none;color: #719602;"><img src="http://img.gawkerassets.com/img/18ggc87v7aw29jpg/medium.jpg" width="300" class="image_8 right v10_medium" alt="Jumping Ship from iPhone to Android: A Switcher's Guide" title="Jumping Ship from iPhone to Android: A Switcher's Guide" style="display: block;float: left;margin: 5px 13px 10px 0;"></a>On Android, Launchers refer to your home screen and the functions surrounding it. Unlike with iOS, you can download apps to replace the default option. You'll likely find little wrong with Android's default launcher, but you can do a lot more with a custom option.

Each launcher has its various options, but most can customize icons, change home screen animations, pack more into your dock, and <a href="http://lifehacker.us1.list-manage1.com/track/click?u=251e609e1dba3888b86c21cc8&id=79c8ca9774&e=d8e4ad1170" style="text-decoration: none;color: #719602;">a lot more</a>.

In Android, you don't have to. If you prefer a different navigation app for your driving needs or an alternative mail client, you can make the switch without much of a hassle.</p> <p style="margin: 0 0 13px;clear: left;">All you have to do to change a default app is to download a new one and open it. Next time an app is required for a specific function, such as opening an image, you'll be asked which app you want to use for the job. Simply selecting the new one and tapping the "Always" button to let Android know you want it to be the default for the indefinite future will make the change.</p> <p style="margin: 0 0 13px;clear: left;">If you ever want to undo this change, you can clear the defaults pretty easily. All you have to do is open your app drawer, find the current default app you want to clear, and tap and hold down on its icon like you're going to add a shortcut to your home screen. Instead of adding that shortcut, however, drag the app to the top of the screen where you'll see the text "App Info." Let go and a screen will appear with a bunch of settings for that app. You can do all sorts of things like force close it and clear its cache, but under the Defaults section you'll find a "Clear Defaults" button. Tap it and you're all set.</p> <p style="margin: 0 0 13px;clear: left;"><i><a style="font-size: 80%;text-decoration: none;color: #719602;" href="#toc">Go back to the top</a>.</i></p> <div style="clear: both;"></div> <p style="margin: 0 0 13px;clear: left;"><a name="notifications" id="notifications" style="text-decoration: none;color: #719602;"></a></p> <h3 style="font-weight: bold;margin: 0 0 13px;">Notifications</h3> <p style="margin: 0 0 13px;clear: left;"><a rel="lytebox" href="http://lifehacker.us1.list-manage.com/track/click?u=251e609e1dba3888b86c21cc8&id=076bc6599d&e=d8e4ad1170" style="text-decoration: none;color: #719602;"></a><a href="http://lifehacker.us1.list-manage.com/track/click?u=251e609e1dba3888b86c21cc8&id=295b9d3125&e=d8e4ad1170" style="text-decoration: none;color: #719602;"><img src="http://img.gawkerassets.com/img/18ggc8bt157dnjpg/medium.jpg" width="300" class="image_10 right v10_medium" alt="Jumping Ship from iPhone to Android: A Switcher's Guide" title="Jumping Ship from iPhone to Android: A Switcher's Guide" style="display: block;float: left;margin: 5px 13px 10px 0;"></a>iOS' Notification Center looked like a play straight out of Android's book. The pull-down notification drawer both mobile OS' offer are very similar, though each comes with their own problems and conveniences.</p> <p style="margin: 0 0 13px;clear: left;">Android offers a number of additional features in its notification drawer that you won't find in iOS. You still drag down from the top of the screen to bring it up, but dismissing notifications is a little easier. You can swipe any individual ones from left to right to get rid of them, or you can dismiss them all by tapping an icon up top that looks like three horizontal bars. Android's notification drawer also has a handy settings menu that you can view by tapping the little human icon in the upper-righthand corner. This makes it easy to check battery status, toggle airplane mode, change screen brightness, and much more.</p> <p style="margin: 0 0 13px;clear: left;">By default, Android doesn't offer much in the way of Lock Screen notifications like iOS. That said, you can get those back by simply installing an app called <a href="http://lifehacker.us1.list-manage.com/track/click?u=251e609e1dba3888b86c21cc8&id=3fdcc8ea9c&e=d8e4ad1170" style="text-decoration: none;color: #719602;">LockerPro</a>. It not only provides a similar experience to iOS, but offers quick app launching shortcuts and (in my opinion) a better design.</p> <p style="margin: 0 0 13px;clear: left;">Overall, you'll like how notifications work on Android. You can add any lacking functionality you liked about iOS through third-party apps and get a few bonus' the operating system adds by default.</p> <p style="margin: 0 0 13px;clear: left;"><i><a style="font-size: 80%;text-decoration: none;color: #719602;" href="#toc">Go back to the top</a>.</i></p> <div style="clear: both;"></div> <p style="margin: 0 0 13px;clear: left;"><a name="maps" id="maps" style="text-decoration: none;color: #719602;"></a></p> <h3 style="font-weight: bold;margin: 0 0 13px;">Maps and Navigation</h3> <p style="margin: 0 0 13px;clear: left;"><a rel="lytebox" href="http://lifehacker.us1.list-manage.com/track/click?u=251e609e1dba3888b86c21cc8&id=8daf4687e6&e=d8e4ad1170" style="text-decoration: none;color: #719602;"></a><a href="http://lifehacker.us1.list-manage1.com/track/click?u=251e609e1dba3888b86c21cc8&id=8d8403bada&e=d8e4ad1170" style="text-decoration: none;color: #719602;"><img src="http://img.gawkerassets.com/img/18ggc8bt4u6h3png/medium.png" width="300" class="image_11 right v10_medium" alt="Jumping Ship from iPhone to Android: A Switcher's Guide" title="Jumping Ship from iPhone to Android: A Switcher's Guide" style="display: block;float: left;margin: 5px 13px 10px 0;"></a>When Apple released iOS 6, it delivered turn-by-turn navigation for free just like Google brought to Android several years prior. In most cases, Apple takes a lot longer than other companies but offers a better product when it finally comes out. This was not the case with Maps, and so you'll be very glad to make the switch to Google's phenomenal built-in navigation.</p> <p style="margin: 0 0 13px;clear: left;">You'll also find yourself a little confused, as Google splits its Maps and Navigation apps into separate entities. While this seems a little strange, and really doesn't make a ton of sense, it's not really a problem once you realize what's going on. When you want to find a place or get directions, you'll use Maps. Maps will provide you with directions. It works very similarly to the way iOS's Maps app worked prior to iOS 6. If you want turn-by-turn navigation, you just tap the navigation button after getting directions and the Maps app will launch the Navigation app to handle your request. Again, this feels a little unnecessary and you'll find you're tapping through more menus and buttons than you would on iOS&mdash;strangely, even with Google's official Maps app for iOS&mdash;but it's a small price to pay for great navigation that's fully-integrated with the operating system.</p> <p style="margin: 0 0 13px;clear: left;"><i><a style="font-size: 80%;text-decoration: none;color: #719602;" href="#toc">Go back to the top</a>.</i></p> <div style="clear: both;"></div> <p style="margin: 0 0 13px;clear: left;"><a name="voice" id="voice" style="text-decoration: none;color: #719602;"></a></p> <h3 style="font-weight: bold;margin: 0 0 13px;">Voice Command and Virtual Assistance</h3> <p style="margin: 0 0 13px;clear: left;"><a rel="lytebox" href="http://lifehacker.us1.list-manage1.com/track/click?u=251e609e1dba3888b86c21cc8&id=3989e97fd7&e=d8e4ad1170" style="text-decoration: none;color: #719602;"></a><a href="http://lifehacker.us1.list-manage1.com/track/click?u=251e609e1dba3888b86c21cc8&id=0854a32904&e=d8e4ad1170" style="text-decoration: none;color: #719602;"><img src="http://img.gawkerassets.com/img/18ggc8fraxrfnpng/medium.png" width="300" class="image_12 right v10_medium" alt="Jumping Ship from iPhone to Android: A Switcher's Guide" title="Jumping Ship from iPhone to Android: A Switcher's Guide" style="display: block;float: left;margin: 5px 13px 10px 0;"></a>Although Siri isn't perfect, she's one of the better features of iOS.

She's also very easy to call upon by simply long-pressing the iPhone's home button. While Android's voice commands (e.g. search, getting directions, sending text messages) tend to be smarter, faster, and generally better, you lose out on Siri's personality and some of her functionality when you make the switch. Of course, Android isn't without its alternatives.</p> <p style="margin: 0 0 13px;clear: left;">In the past, we've <a href="http://lifehacker.us1.list-manage.com/track/click?u=251e609e1dba3888b86c21cc8&id=6ee0318499&e=d8e4ad1170" style="text-decoration: none;color: #719602;">offered many Siri-alternative suggestions</a> for Android and chose <a href="http://lifehacker.us1.list-manage.com/track/click?u=251e609e1dba3888b86c21cc8&id=6fbbf161c9&e=d8e4ad1170" style="text-decoration: none;color: #719602;">Vlingo</a> as <a href="http://lifehacker.us1.list-manage1.com/track/click?u=251e609e1dba3888b86c21cc8&id=715e92d485&e=d8e4ad1170" style="text-decoration: none;color: #719602;">our favorite</a>. While Vlingo and many of the others are decent options, you'll have to get used to different methods of activation (e.g. shake to start) and communicating. For example, when you send a text message you'll often have to do it in a single step. With Siri, you might say "Text Whitson Gordon mobile" and then specify your message when prompted. On Android you'd say, "Text Whitson Gordon mobile 'What time is the movie again?'" You'll get used to these changes as you experience them.</p> <p style="margin: 0 0 13px;clear: left;"><i><a style="font-size: 80%;text-decoration: none;color: #719602;" href="#toc">Go back to the top</a>.</i></p> <div style="clear: both;"></div> <p style="margin: 0 0 13px;clear: left;"><a name="updates" id="updates" style="text-decoration: none;color: #719602;"></a></p> <h3 style="font-weight: bold;margin: 0 0 13px;">Operating System Updates</h3> <p style="margin: 0 0 13px;clear: left;"><a rel="lytebox" href="http://lifehacker.us1.list-manage.com/track/click?u=251e609e1dba3888b86c21cc8&id=3c69d7afbe&e=d8e4ad1170" style="text-decoration: none;color: #719602;"></a><a href="http://lifehacker.us1.list-manage.com/track/click?u=251e609e1dba3888b86c21cc8&id=eb75db857b&e=d8e4ad1170" style="text-decoration: none;color: #719602;"><img src="http://img.gawkerassets.com/img/18ggc8fr3il9njpg/medium.jpg" width="300" class="image_13 right v10_medium" alt="Jumping Ship from iPhone to Android: A Switcher's Guide" title="Jumping Ship from iPhone to Android: A Switcher's Guide" style="display: block;float: left;margin: 5px 13px 10px 0;"></a>When you have an iPhone, you have an official Apple device.

That means you're at the mercy of your phone's manufacturer&mdash;and, to a lesser extent, your carrier&mdash;when it comes to receiving system updates, and this can be <em>very</em> frustrating because these manufacturers often communicate about update availability poorly and take their sweet time. If you have yet to switch to an Android and are simply considering it, we highly recommend purchasing a Nexus phone. This way you'll always receive updates as soon as Google releases them.

The differences may be minimal, but you won't be able to leave your phone on standby for a couple of days and still expect it to have a charge. While there are <a href="http://lifehacker.us1.list-manage.com/track/click?u=251e609e1dba3888b86c21cc8&id=4b8bc310a8&e=d8e4ad1170" style="text-decoration: none;color: #719602;">some tactics you can enlist</a>, most of them cause more inconvenience than they're worth. You'll find it better to learn to cope, and manage just a couple of settings you can quickly toggle from your home screen.</p> <h4 class="modfont" style="font-weight: bold;margin: 0 0 13px;font-size: 90% !important;"><b>Turn Off Radios You Aren't Using</b></h4> <p style="margin: 0 0 13px;clear: left;">Bluetooth and GPS radios will drain your battery more quickly but don't need to remain active for the majority of your day. One of the first things you should do when you're setting up your home screens is add the settings widget included with Android. Pictured to the right, you'll see it has five settings toggles: Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, GPS, Sync, and Brightness. Just toggle off Bluetooth and GPS when they're not in use and toggle them on when they are. This will improve your phone's standby time significantly.</p> <h4 class="modfont" style="font-weight: bold;margin: 0 0 13px;font-size: 90% !important;"><b>Make Charging Easy</b></h4> <p style="margin: 0 0 13px;clear: left;">Because most Android devices use micro-USB to charge, you probably already have a cable that'll work. In fact, your friends likely do as well. Whenever you're leaving your phone around at a friend's house, don't hesitate to ask to charge it. If you want to ensure you always have a compatible cable, AViiQ makes <a href="http://lifehacker.us1.list-manage.com/track/click?u=251e609e1dba3888b86c21cc8&id=23c302ef93&e=d8e4ad1170" style="text-decoration: none;color: #719602;">pocketable USB cables with clips</a> that you can take with you easily. The goal is to make it easy to charge your device whenever you need to. Keep a charger in your car, in your bag, at work, and a couple around the house. Chargers don't cost much, and micro-USB cables can always be repurposed for many other devices. It doesn't hurt to have a handful of them, and it can really help you ensure your phone has plenty of charge. Alternatively, check if your phone offers an extended battery that doesn't fatten up the phone too much.</p> <p style="margin: 0 0 13px;clear: left;">All of this may seem like a lot of effort and, as a result, promote the idea that Android phones have terrible battery life. While some may, my Nexus 4 manages 11-12 hours most days without issue and it isn't the most power-efficient Android device on the market. Keeping many chargers around is simply a way to stay prepared and make sure you're ready in the event you do find your battery running low.</p> <p style="margin: 0 0 13px;clear: left;"><i><a style="font-size: 80%;text-decoration: none;color: #719602;" href="#toc">Go back to the top</a>.</i></p> <div style="clear: both;"></div> <p style="margin: 0 0 13px;clear: left;"><a name="rooting" id="rooting" style="text-decoration: none;color: #719602;"></a></p> <h3 style="font-weight: bold;margin: 0 0 13px;">Rooting and Flashing ROMs</h3> <p style="margin: 0 0 13px;clear: left;"><a rel="lytebox" href="http://lifehacker.us1.list-manage1.com/track/click?u=251e609e1dba3888b86c21cc8&id=8329f303c7&e=d8e4ad1170" style="text-decoration: none;color: #719602;"></a><a href="http://lifehacker.us1.list-manage.com/track/click?u=251e609e1dba3888b86c21cc8&id=0c517e2231&e=d8e4ad1170" style="text-decoration: none;color: #719602;"><img src="http://img.gawkerassets.com/img/18ggc8jp7gi6xpng/medium.png" width="300" class="image_15 right v10_medium" alt="Jumping Ship from iPhone to Android: A Switcher's Guide" title="Jumping Ship from iPhone to Android: A Switcher's Guide" style="display: block;float: left;margin: 5px 13px 10px 0;"></a>Like jailbreaking on an iPhone, rooting Android provides additional privileges that allow you to do even more with your device.

For those coming from iOS, here are some options you'll want to check out:</p> <ul> <li><b><a href="http://lifehacker.us1.list-manage.com/track/click?u=251e609e1dba3888b86c21cc8&id=8f6ffc254d&e=d8e4ad1170" style="text-decoration: none;color: #719602;">Pocket Casts</a></b>: If you love podcasts, you're probably sad to leave Downcast behind on iOS. Although not the most feature-rich and powerful (that would be <a href="http://lifehacker.us1.list-manage.com/track/click?u=251e609e1dba3888b86c21cc8&id=b9f0b0a251&e=d8e4ad1170" style="text-decoration: none;color: #719602;">Doggcatcher</a>), it still handles most anything you can throw at it while maintaining an elegant an intuitive interface.</li> <li><b><a href="http://lifehacker.us1.list-manage1.com/track/click?u=251e609e1dba3888b86c21cc8&id=30ac274a8f&e=d8e4ad1170" style="text-decoration: none;color: #719602;">MightyText</a></b>: One of the hardest things to leave behind when ditching iOS is iMessage. Despite its imperfections, chances are you used it much more than you thought. MightyText provides very similar functionality through Google Chrome, allowing you to answer your text messages on a computer and even get alerts of new calls. This is very helpful, as I often keep my phone on silent and now know when an important call is coming in even if I forgot to turn on the ringer.</li> <li><b><a href="http://lifehacker.us1.list-manage.com/track/click?u=251e609e1dba3888b86c21cc8&id=04a2bcae81&e=d8e4ad1170" style="text-decoration: none;color: #719602;">Silence</a></b>: Whether you used iOS 6's Do Not Disturb feature on your phone, or just liked the convenience of your iPhone's easy volume toggle, Silence fills the void (or, if you think about it, creates one). By defining a few simple rules, you can make your phone shut up when you don't want it to ring and even let important calls through.</li> <li><b><a href="http://lifehacker.us1.list-manage.com/track/click?u=251e609e1dba3888b86c21cc8&id=212e7c235d&e=d8e4ad1170" style="text-decoration: none;color: #719602;">Headphone Remote Control</a></b>: iOS does a fantastic job of using the remote built into many wired headsets to easily control your phone. Android does not. Although not perfect, Headphone Control will add some of that functionality back.</li> </ul> <p style="margin: 0 0 13px;clear: left;">This list just offers a few apps that helped me with the transition, but is by no means comprehensive.

You'll find it fun to discover these new features as you explore everything the operating system has to offer. Here are a few things you'll want to check out:</p> <ul> <li><b><a href="http://lifehacker.us1.list-manage.com/track/click?u=251e609e1dba3888b86c21cc8&id=098c08b0ae&e=d8e4ad1170" style="text-decoration: none;color: #719602;">Google Now</a></b> is, perhaps, one of the greatest additions to Android. If you want to research something or ask a question, you just search Google Now and it'll provide you with that information on a concise and attractive summary card. You can search via text or with your voice&mdash;it's up to you. Most Android phones will have a Google Search bar on the home screen by default, but you can bring up Google Now in your app drawer or by swiping up from the bottom of your home screen. For more on Google Now, <a href="http://lifehacker.us1.list-manage.com/track/click?u=251e609e1dba3888b86c21cc8&id=7fddd3741a&e=d8e4ad1170" style="text-decoration: none;color: #719602;">read our guide</a>.</li> <li>You can <b><a href="http://lifehacker.us1.list-manage1.com/track/click?u=251e609e1dba3888b86c21cc8&id=ce5ce3abfa&e=d8e4ad1170" style="text-decoration: none;color: #719602;">install apps remotely through the Google Play Store</a></b> even when you're away (or don't want to deal with) your phone. Just visit the store, search for the app you want, and click the buy/install button. You'll be asked which device to send the app to. Just select your phone and it'll be there in minutes.</li> <li><b>Smarter keyboards</b> are an option on Android. In fact, in Android 4.2 you can <a href="http://lifehacker.us1.list-manage.com/track/click?u=251e609e1dba3888b86c21cc8&id=0f5455a5c3&e=d8e4ad1170" style="text-decoration: none;color: #719602;">use gesture-based typing</a>. Of course, you don't have to stick with the default. Android is flexible, and you can <a href="http://lifehacker.us1.list-manage1.com/track/click?u=251e609e1dba3888b86c21cc8&id=78a80ba100&e=d8e4ad1170" style="text-decoration: none;color: #719602;">choose your favorite</a>.</li> <li><b><a href="http://lifehacker.us1.list-manage1.com/track/click?u=251e609e1dba3888b86c21cc8&id=91121ffbc8&e=d8e4ad1170" style="text-decoration: none;color: #719602;">Google Wallet</a></b> makes paying with your <a href="http://lifehacker.us1.list-manage1.com/track/click?u=251e609e1dba3888b86c21cc8&id=3854b605d4&e=d8e4ad1170" style="text-decoration: none;color: #719602;">NFC</a>-enabled Android phone possible.

Just swipe from left to right and you'll find an empty box. Tap and hold that box to add a widget that'll be available on your lock screen when you need it.</li> <li><b>Explore the File System</b> is possible in Android. iOS doesn't give you direct access, so this is the sort of thing you might miss if you don't look for it. In Android, you can download files from web browsers and store things where you want them just like you would on a computer. Your phone likely comes with a file explorer app, but <a href="http://lifehacker.us1.list-manage.com/track/click?u=251e609e1dba3888b86c21cc8&id=f27eacbaec&e=d8e4ad1170" style="text-decoration: none;color: #719602;">Solid Explorer</a> is my favorite alternative.</li> </ul> <p style="margin: 0 0 13px;clear: left;">This is just the beginning.

href="http://www.totalgeekdom.com/?p=915">Wind Tunnel Computer</a> looks like a piece of high tech hardware from a testing laboratory but under the black paint is MDF and a window box fan! This configuration was designed for optimal cooling of the computer components that you can see in the center of the two outer angled boxes.</p> <p>&#8220;I used an anemometer (velocity/airspeed meter) for testing, as well as different fans and basic shapes made out of cardboard. I was able to conclude that I could increase air velocity through a scale wind tunnel. There are two types of wind tunnels; the one I've built is a subsonic wind tunnel. This type of design involves a contraction section which is used to increase velocity (airspeed) through the test section. This increase in airspeed was what I looking for, a way to increase airspeed over the computer components.&#8221;</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <a

The <a target="_blank" href="http://store.tubedepot.com/jj-e88cc.html">ECC88</a> looks to be an inexpensive tube that can be used for a <a target="_blank" href="http://www.r-type.org/exhib/aaa0037.htm">variety of purposes</a>. One thing to note with this design is that there is high voltages present in the circuit so please be careful if you take on the build.</p> <p>&#8220;The amplifier will deliver over 100 mW of output into pretty much anything from about 32 ohms to 300 ohms. With the Edcor XSM10K/150 audio output transformers the optimum match is at 75 and 150 ohms. Using headphones with an impedance below 32 ohms will result in decreased performance as the load on the tubes will be below the best range.&#8221;</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><a href="http://hackedgadgets.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/03/ECC88_2.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-17264" alt="ECC88_2" src="http://hackedgadgets.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/03/ECC88_2.jpg" width="354" height="800" /></a></p> <div id="moosecandy2" class="moosecandy"><BR CLEAR=ALL> <div align="center"> <!-- Begin Adify tag for "HackedGadgetsContent" Ad Space (300x250) ID #8883907 --> <!-- End Adify tag for "HackedGadgetsContent" Ad Space (300x250) ID #8883907 --> </div></div><div style="font-size:1px;line-height:1px;padding:0px"> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/HackedGadgets?a=SdmsmHZQMRc:2ayYwkO-Ehk:yIl2AUoC8zA"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/HackedGadgets?d=yIl2AUoC8zA" border="0"/></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/HackedGadgets?a=SdmsmHZQMRc:2ayYwkO-Ehk:V_sGLiPBpWU"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/HackedGadgets?i=SdmsmHZQMRc:2ayYwkO-Ehk:V_sGLiPBpWU" border="0"/></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/HackedGadgets?a=SdmsmHZQMRc:2ayYwkO-Ehk:cTv1dNCI_Tc"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/HackedGadgets?d=cTv1dNCI_Tc" border="0"/></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/HackedGadgets?a=SdmsmHZQMRc:2ayYwkO-Ehk:7Q72WNTAKBA"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/HackedGadgets?d=7Q72WNTAKBA" border="0"/></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/HackedGadgets?a=SdmsmHZQMRc:2ayYwkO-Ehk:QXVau8BzmBE"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/HackedGadgets?d=QXVau8BzmBE" border="0"/></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/HackedGadgets?a=SdmsmHZQMRc:2ayYwkO-Ehk:dnMXMwOfBR0"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/HackedGadgets?d=dnMXMwOfBR0" border="0"/></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/HackedGadgets?a=SdmsmHZQMRc:2ayYwkO-Ehk:D7DqB2pKExk"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/HackedGadgets?i=SdmsmHZQMRc:2ayYwkO-Ehk:D7DqB2pKExk" border="0"/></a> </div><img align="right" style="float:right" src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/HackedGadgets/~4/SdmsmHZQMRc" height="1" width="1"/><!--<![endif]--> <div style="clear:both;padding-top:0.7em;"><a title="Like on Facebook" href="http://p.feedblitz.com/f.share?_/28/http%3a%2f%2ffeedproxy.google.com%2f~r%2fHackedGadgets%2f~3%2fSdmsmHZQMRc%2f/Valve+Headphone+Amplifier+based+on+the+ECC88"><img height="20" src="http://assets.feedblitz.com/i/fblike20.png" style="border:0;margin:0px 1px 0px;padding:0"/></a> <a title="Share on Google+" href="http://p.feedblitz.com/f.share?_/30/http%3a%2f%2ffeedproxy.google.com%2f~r%2fHackedGadgets%2f~3%2fSdmsmHZQMRc%2f/Valve+Headphone+Amplifier+based+on+the+ECC88"><img height="20" src="http://assets.feedblitz.com/i/googleplus20.png" style="border:0;margin:0px 1px 0px;padding:0"/></a> <a title="Add to LinkedIn" href="http://p.feedblitz.com/f.share?_/16/http%3a%2f%2ffeedproxy.google.com%2f~r%2fHackedGadgets%2f~3%2fSdmsmHZQMRc%2f/Valve+Headphone+Amplifier+based+on+the+ECC88"><img height="20" src="http://assets.feedblitz.com/i/linkedin20.png" style="border:0;margin:0px 1px 0px;padding:0"/></a> <a title="Pin it!" href="http://p.feedblitz.com/f.share?_/29/http%3a%2f%2ffeedproxy.google.com%2f~r%2fHackedGadgets%2f~3%2fSdmsmHZQMRc%2f/Valve+Headphone+Amplifier+based+on+the+ECC88,http%3a%2f%2fhackedgadgets.com%2fwp-content%2fuploads%2f2013%2f03%2fValve-Headphone-Amplifier-500x361.jpg"><img height="20" src="http://assets.feedblitz.com/i/pinterest20.png" style="border:0;margin:0px 1px 0px;padding:0"/></a> <a title="Tweet it!" href="http://p.feedblitz.com/f.share?_/24/http%3a%2f%2ffeedproxy.google.com%2f~r%2fHackedGadgets%2f~3%2fSdmsmHZQMRc%2f/Valve+Headphone+Amplifier+based+on+the+ECC88"><img height="20" src="http://assets.feedblitz.com/i/twitter20.png" style="border:0;margin:0px 1px 0px;padding:0"/></a> </div><!--<![endif]--><div style=" padding-top:8pt;font-size: 8pt;

The days are warmer, flowers are blooming, and everything feels new again. Inside the office, there's a feeling of newness, too. We're launching a resign of our website. We've debuted several new web features. We're about to send off our newest issue of the magazine to the printer. The lab is building new projects. Maker Faire Bay Area is but a few months away. With that in mind, a gaggle of MAKE editors and engineers will gather today for our monthly editors' hangout to talk about some of these new initiatives.

You can also pull little tricks on your brain to make it work harder, like adjusting the temperature or looking at cute pictures of animals. Here are a few scientifically-backed ways to boost your productivity without even trying. <!-- %JUMP:More &raquo;% --></p> <p style="margin: 0 0 13px;clear: left;">Our brains are mysterious things. We <a href="http://lifehacker.us1.list-manage.com/track/click?u=251e609e1dba3888b86c21cc8&id=f5d37ba9ae&e=d8e4ad1170" style="text-decoration: none;color: #719602;">enjoy hot chocolate from orange cups more than others</a>, <a href="http://lifehacker.us1.list-manage2.com/track/click?u=251e609e1dba3888b86c21cc8&id=2fe335bdb8&e=d8e4ad1170" style="text-decoration: none;color: #719602;">we eat less off smaller plates</a>, and <a href="http://lifehacker.us1.list-manage.com/track/click?u=251e609e1dba3888b86c21cc8&id=009989eafa&e=d8e4ad1170" style="text-decoration: none;color: #719602;">we can potentially reduce stress with a simple smile</a>. These weird magic tricks our brain play are simple enough to perform on yourself, and a few of them can be used make yourself more productive.</p> <h3 style="font-weight: bold;margin: 0 0 13px;">Use Your Procrastination to Your Advantage</h3> <p style="margin: 0 0 13px;clear: left;"><a href="http://lifehacker.us1.list-manage.com/track/click?u=251e609e1dba3888b86c21cc8&id=def1cc8c08&e=d8e4ad1170" style="text-decoration: none;color: #719602;"><img src="http://img.gawkerassets.com/img/18f0wbqlb779ejpg/medium.jpg" width="300" class="image_1 right v10_medium" alt="Six Lazy Ways to Trick Your Brain Into Being Productive" title="Six Lazy Ways to Trick Your Brain Into Being Productive" style="display: block;float: left;margin: 5px 13px 10px 0;"></a>We all have dreaded tasks on our to-do lists. While <a href="http://lifehacker.us1.list-manage.com/track/click?u=251e609e1dba3888b86c21cc8&id=fbfba6f932&e=d8e4ad1170" style="text-decoration: none;color: #719602;">science suggests</a> the best way to power through those awful tasks <a href="http://lifehacker.us1.list-manage.com/track/click?u=251e609e1dba3888b86c21cc8&id=2bd1869073&e=d8e4ad1170" style="text-decoration: none;color: #719602;">is to just get started</a>, you can also take another approach and trick your brain into making those tasks less dreadful. This is called <a href="http://lifehacker.us1.list-manage2.com/track/click?u=251e609e1dba3888b86c21cc8&id=845eba08c9&e=d8e4ad1170" style="text-decoration: none;color: #719602;">productive procrastination</a>, and creativity site <a href="http://lifehacker.us1.list-manage1.com/track/click?u=251e609e1dba3888b86c21cc8&id=16907bcbf4&e=d8e4ad1170" style="text-decoration: none;color: #719602;">99U explains how it works</a>:</p> <blockquote style="margin: 20px 0 20px 20px;padding: 10px 10px 1px;font-style: normal;background-color: #f6f6f6;border-left: 4px solid #ccc;color: #222;"> <p style="margin: 0 0 13px;clear: left;">[T]he mental trick is to regard other tasks as more important in order to make Very Important Task an easier choice.</p> <p style="margin: 0 0 13px;clear: left;">Rank projects that seem quite significant yet have more flexible deadlines at the top instead, like reorganizing your workspace or learning a new technique. You'll probably also find that there are newer Very Important Tasks that have joined your list, making that original one look all the more alluring.</p> </blockquote> <p style="margin: 0 0 13px;clear: left;">Essentially, you're performing a mental trick that makes the task you're dreading less substantial by moving it down on your priority list. When you complete each smaller task, the bigger one seems like less of a pain. Productive procrastination isn't going to work every time, but it's certainly helpful now and again on those days where you're having trouble getting started. <i style="font-size:80%">Photo by <a href="http://lifehacker.us1.list-manage.com/track/click?u=251e609e1dba3888b86c21cc8&id=78beb4a731&e=d8e4ad1170" style="text-decoration: none;color: #719602;">Fabio Bruna</a></i>.</p> <h3 style="font-weight: bold;margin: 0 0 13px;">Use Your Office Lighting and Temperature to Boost Productivity</h3> <p style="margin: 0 0 13px;clear: left;"><a href="http://lifehacker.us1.list-manage1.com/track/click?u=251e609e1dba3888b86c21cc8&id=39d855097b&e=d8e4ad1170" style="text-decoration: none;color: #719602;"><img src="http://img.gawkerassets.com/img/18eq71mzqm89ujpg/medium.jpg" width="300" class="image_2 right v10_medium" alt="Six Lazy Ways to Trick Your Brain Into Being Productive" title="Six Lazy Ways to Trick Your Brain Into Being Productive" style="display: block;float: left;margin: 5px 13px 10px 0;"></a>It probably comes as no surprise that your environment has a lot to do with your productivity. While <a href="http://lifehacker.us1.list-manage1.com/track/click?u=251e609e1dba3888b86c21cc8&id=9adcf587df&e=d8e4ad1170" style="text-decoration: none;color: #719602;">we've talked about triggers in your workspace before</a>, and temperature and lighting are big ones. In fact, as Leo Widrich points out at the Buffer blog, <a href="http://lifehacker.us1.list-manage1.com/track/click?u=251e609e1dba3888b86c21cc8&id=32b510bdf3&e=d8e4ad1170" style="text-decoration: none;color: #719602;">regulating both can provide a boon to your productivity</a>, and you hardly have to lift a finger. Widrich points to <a href="http://lifehacker.us1.list-manage2.com/track/click?u=251e609e1dba3888b86c21cc8&id=8a9115cba4&e=d8e4ad1170" style="text-decoration: none;color: #719602;">one study from Cornell that examined temperature and productivity</a>:</p> <blockquote style="margin: 20px 0 20px 20px;padding: 10px 10px 1px;font-style: normal;background-color: #f6f6f6;border-left: 4px solid #ccc;color: #222;"> <p style="margin: 0 0 13px;clear: left;">When temperatures were low (68 degrees or 20 degrees Celsius) employees made 44% more mistakes than at optimal room temperature (77 degrees or 25 degrees Celsius).</p> </blockquote> <p style="margin: 0 0 13px;clear: left;">Essentially, you want to regulate the temperature in your office. That means grabbing a space heater (or air conditioner in the summer), or at least keeping yourself warm with a sweater. It's not just temperature, either. Lighting plays a role in productivity too. While direct research on lighting is still fresh, we <a href="http://lifehacker.us1.list-manage2.com/track/click?u=251e609e1dba3888b86c21cc8&id=465bafb36f&e=d8e4ad1170" style="text-decoration: none;color: #719602;">do know that more exposure to daylight</a> can imrpove productivity.

And then, counter-intuitively, it's best to select the very opposite kind of music.... Why? Because your brain gets pleasure, releasing dopamine when it hears music you like and listen to a lot, and music that is associated with good times or strong memories of any kind will reduce the focus enhancing effects when used as a productivity tool. So if you never listen to classical music, try it for this, and the opposite is true, if you always listen to jazz, then try the ambient channel.</p> </blockquote> <p style="margin: 0 0 13px;clear: left;">This approach doesn't necessarily work if you're a musician or you listen to music critically, but if you're the type to just throw something on in the background, playing music you don't know might be all you need to concentrate on the task at hand.</p> <h3 style="font-weight: bold;margin: 0 0 13px;">Look at Photos of Cute Baby Animals</h3> <p style="margin: 0 0 13px;clear: left;"><a href="http://lifehacker.us1.list-manage1.com/track/click?u=251e609e1dba3888b86c21cc8&id=8a0f7f84bb&e=d8e4ad1170" style="text-decoration: none;color: #719602;"><img src="http://img.gawkerassets.com/img/18g1is62n4vi1jpg/medium.jpg" width="300" class="image_6 right v10_medium" alt="Six Lazy Ways to Trick Your Brain Into Being Productive" title="Six Lazy Ways to Trick Your Brain Into Being Productive" style="display: block;float: left;margin: 5px 13px 10px 0;"></a>We'll end with one of the stranger research findings we've seen: looking at cute baby animals can actually improve your concentration and productivity. The study, conducted by <a href="http://lifehacker.us1.list-manage.com/track/click?u=251e609e1dba3888b86c21cc8&id=5d515d3846&e=d8e4ad1170" style="text-decoration: none;color: #719602;">Hiroshima University in Japan</a>, found that looking at pleasent and cute images increases concentration. After looking at cute animals, participants in the study increased their performance in concentration tasks by an astounding 44 percent. Researchers were unclear of exactly why the pictures increased concentration, but they have a theory:</p> <blockquote style="margin: 20px 0 20px 20px;padding: 10px 10px 1px;font-style: normal;background-color: #f6f6f6;border-left: 4px solid #ccc;color: #222;"> <p style="margin: 0 0 13px;clear: left;">Caring for babies (nurturance) not only involves tender treatments but also requires careful attention to the targets' physical and mental states as well as vigilance against possible threats to the targets. If viewing cute things makes the viewer more attentive, the performance of a non-motor perceptual task would also be improved.</p> </blockquote> <p style="margin: 0 0 13px;clear: left;">While it's by no means a definitive study, it echoes <a href="http://lifehacker.us1.list-manage.com/track/click?u=251e609e1dba3888b86c21cc8&id=2cbe73f754&e=d8e4ad1170" style="text-decoration: none;color: #719602;">similar theories</a> that temptations like reality TV and cute YouTube videos are beneficial for productivity as well.

This cute robot uses a Picaxe microcontroller project board and is programmed to drive in a heart pattern and drop kisses along the way.  A few gear motors are used to let the robot drive the pattern and a small servo is used to control the candy drop. A simple coaster wheel is used to allow the robot to be able to turn without steering.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><a href="http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/HackedGadgets/~3/9OV1K523k8c/"><img border="0"

Sometimes it's obvious: you like a page, you click share, Facebook benefits. Other times, you have no clue until a friend asks you about a photo they saw that you liked. The unfortunate side-effect to all of this is that it can actually make you an unbearable annoyance to your friends, and you probably don't even know it. Here's how it works, and how to stop it. <!-- %JUMP:More &raquo;% --></p> <p style="margin: 0 0 13px;clear: left;">When we talk about the ways that Facebook uses your personal information, we're usually talking about <a href="http://lifehacker.us1.list-manage1.com/track/click?u=251e609e1dba3888b86c21cc8&id=f5c3526cf4&e=d8e4ad1170" style="text-decoration: none;color: #719602;">why you should care about your privacy</a>, or how <a href="http://lifehacker.us1.list-manage.com/track/click?u=251e609e1dba3888b86c21cc8&id=18a2562075&e=d8e4ad1170" style="text-decoration: none;color: #719602;">Facebook tacks your activity</a>. In this case, we're discussing how your Facebook habits are used&mdash;with or without your knowledge&mdash;to bother your friends with ads that they associate with you. It's a very different beast, but it <em>can</em> be stopped. Here's what you need to know.</p> <h3 style="font-weight: bold;margin: 0 0 13px;">EdgeRank: The Math Facebook Uses to Pimp Out Your Likes</h3> <p style="margin: 0 0 13px;clear: left;"><a href="http://lifehacker.us1.list-manage.com/track/click?u=251e609e1dba3888b86c21cc8&id=b0dff158a2&e=d8e4ad1170" style="text-decoration: none;color: #719602;"><img src="http://img.gawkerassets.com/img/18fxroqs6psrfpng/medium.png" width="300" class="image_1 right v10_medium" alt="How Facebook Is Using You to Annoy Your Friends (and How to Stop It)" title="How Facebook Is Using You to Annoy Your Friends (and How to Stop It)" style="display: block;float: left;margin: 5px 13px 10px 0;"></a> You've probably seen an increase in posts in your news feed that say "[Your Friend] likes [Random Group]'s photo," with the full photo and text of the group's post right there, as though you liked the group yourself. On your phone or tablet, you've likely seen "Sponsored Posts" that say "[Another Friend] likes [Random Company]" with an invitation to like that page as well. It's annoying to be sure, but you also likely know that your friend didn't choose to advertise the page to you&mdash;it's Facebook, using our habits to get likes and shares.</p> <p style="margin: 0 0 13px;clear: left;">The logic that Facebook uses to decide what lands in your friends' feeds is called "EdgeRank," and it's purposefully obscure&mdash;after all, if everyone understood it clearly (and lots of people claim to, but don't), advertisers wouldn't have to pay to promote posts, and users would be able to easily filter their feeds and block ads they don't want to see. EdgeRank serves two purposes: For people who operate Facebook pages and manage brands, it's the algorithm that decides whether your post gets out to as many of your fans as possible. For users, it's the likelihood you'll see something in your feed liked or shared by someone else. It's also the math that governs why your news feed refuses to stay in real chronological order, even after you set it to "most recent."</p> <p style="margin: 0 0 13px;clear: left;">We're not talking about your own status updates, photos, or anything you post to Facebook yourself&mdash;just the way you interact with other pages, groups, and people on Facebook. It's one thing if your news feed is full of baby pictures from your old high school friends&mdash;it's another thing when every post you like from a group you follow ends up in all of your friends' news feeds without you knowing or being able to control who sees it.</p> <h3 style="font-weight: bold;margin: 0 0 13px;">Facebook Uses You to Help Pages and Brands Find Your Friends and Go Viral</h3> <p style="margin: 0 0 13px;clear: left;"><a href="http://lifehacker.us1.list-manage.com/track/click?u=251e609e1dba3888b86c21cc8&id=032a66b111&e=d8e4ad1170" style="text-decoration: none;color: #719602;"><img src="http://img.gawkerassets.com/img/18fxrqnube6i2png/medium.png" width="300" class="image_2 right v10_medium" alt="How Facebook Is Using You to Annoy Your Friends (and How to Stop It)" title="How Facebook Is Using You to Annoy Your Friends (and How to Stop It)" style="display: block;float: left;margin: 5px 13px 10px 0;"></a> <b>The Problem</b>: When you see a post in your news feed from a group you've never heard of, like a heartwarming photo or a campaign for a cause, you might assume it's because your friend chose to share it with their followers by clicking the "share" button. That's not the case: odds are they thought it was good, clicked Like, and moved on. A quick way to check is to visit their profile directly: if you don't see the post there, then <em>Facebook</em> decided that you might like to see it too, not your friend.</p> <p style="margin: 0 0 13px;clear: left;">This is annoying, but it's especially problematic when you click like on something that may not be work-safe, assuming that "like" is not "share," so "who'll see it, right?" For example, one of my friends is a model: she's attractive, and her photo shoots are often artsy, but it's nothing you'd want your boss asking you about because they peeked over your shoulder at work. By "liking" her posts about her photo shoots, I run the risk of unintentionally sharing her photos with my Facebook friends, and having <em>their</em> bosses scold them for looking at scantily-clad model pics. See the problem? Unfortunately there's no way out of this: Facebook doesn't let you set the privacy level of something you've liked. If the original poster shared publicly, your like is public as well. Remember that if you're a fan of any Facebook groups or pages that like to keep their posts in-group or close to pocket, or it may land in a friend's news feed.</p> <p style="margin: 0 0 13px;clear: left;">This is EdgeRank in action: it's not sinister, it's just Facebook deciding that your friends may have similar interests and may like what you like. The downside is that it populates your news feed with photos and updates from pages you may have no interest in, and does the same to your friends. We've shown you how to <a href="http://lifehacker.us1.list-manage1.com/track/click?u=251e609e1dba3888b86c21cc8&id=99134cc797&e=d8e4ad1170" style="text-decoration: none;color: #719602;">clean up your own feed</a>, but how do you avoid cluttering up everyone else's feed?</p> <div style="float: right; width: 300px; margin: 10px 0px 10px 25px; font-size: 0.675em; color: grey); padding: 0px; font-family: Verdana;"><!-- videoId: e6Qk1VE9cGI --><span class="customObject framed" style="background-color: #f0f0f0;border: 1px solid #ccc;display: block;float: left;height: 75px;margin: 20px 40px 20px 0;width: 150px;text-align: center;"><a href="http://lifehacker.us1.list-manage.com/track/click?u=251e609e1dba3888b86c21cc8&id=f8205432ec&e=d8e4ad1170" style="text-decoration: none;color: #719602;margin-top: 6px;padding-top: 40px;display: block;background: transparent url(http://ganja.gawkerassets.com/assets/base.v10.static/img/ui/icon-play-gray.png) center top no-repeat;">Click to view</a></span><!-- /videoId: e6Qk1VE9cGI --></div> <p style="margin: 0 0 13px;clear: left;"><b>The Solution</b>: First, think before you click the Like button. There's no way to determine which likes will be posted to which friends, so before you like that photo on one of your favorite pages, assume that it could be broadcast to all of your friends. Here are some other tips:</p> <ul> <li><b><a href="http://lifehacker.us1.list-manage.com/track/click?u=251e609e1dba3888b86c21cc8&id=9b518f9293&e=d8e4ad1170" style="text-decoration: none;color: #719602;">Hide those pages you like from your profile</a></b> and set their posting rights to "only me." In our tests, doing this hid the things we liked from those groups from other people's feeds&mdash;but we can't be 100% sure it'll work for everyone.</li> <li><b>Check your activity log</b>. This is the only way to know which of your likes are public and which aren't (Go to your profile, then click "Activity Log.") You'll see a history of every status update, photo, and shared item you've liked, along with an icon that'll tell you whether it's public or shared only with friends. Facebook usually doesn't let you change the visibility of those entries, but you can "unlike" something if you don't want it in someone else's feed with your name plastered over it.</li> <li><b>Use <a href="http://lifehacker.us1.list-manage1.com/track/click?u=251e609e1dba3888b86c21cc8&id=ff7833aa3e&e=d8e4ad1170" style="text-decoration: none;color: #719602;">Social Fixer</a> to tame your own feed</b>. You can use Social Fixer to trim down those types of re-liked posts in your own feed, removing the temptation to like them yourself. Still, this doesn't stop Facebook from re-sharing groups you actually do like with your friends that don't.</li> </ul> <h3 style="font-weight: bold;margin: 0 0 13px;">Facebook Uses Your Likes to Sponsor Brands, Cluttering Up Your Friends' Feeds</h3> <p style="margin: 0 0 13px;clear: left;"><a href="http://lifehacker.us1.list-manage2.com/track/click?u=251e609e1dba3888b86c21cc8&id=91b19e77a1&e=d8e4ad1170" style="text-decoration: none;color: #719602;"><img src="http://img.gawkerassets.com/img/18fxtrg3hevfspng/medium.png" width="300" class="image_3 right v10_medium" alt="How Facebook Is Using You to Annoy Your Friends (and How to Stop It)" title="How Facebook Is Using You to Annoy Your Friends (and How to Stop It)" style="display: block;float: left;margin: 5px 13px 10px 0;"></a> <b>The Problem</b>: You've seen the ads before: Friend A, B, and C Like [Brand], with a Like button next to it. They're right there in the middle of your news feed&mdash;sometimes there are two or three of them together in a big "sponsored" box. It's annoying, especially when the brand in question isn't even remotely interesting to you. Save your friends the hassle, and audit the brands and companies you like on Facebook.</p> <p style="margin: 0 0 13px;clear: left;"><b>The Solution</b>: Unlike pages and brands that you don't need an active relationship with, and don't like new ones unless you need to. Save your friends the irritation of seeing "So-and-So Likes A Company You Couldn't Care Less About!" every time they log in to Facebook and just remove brands you don't feel like providing free advertising for.</p> <p style="margin: 0 0 13px;clear: left;">Don't get us wrong, lots of companies offer great customer service, discounts, and other incentives to like them on Facebook (we'd be lying if we said we didn't want you to <a href="http://lifehacker.us1.list-manage1.com/track/click?u=251e609e1dba3888b86c21cc8&id=72246477a3&e=d8e4ad1170" style="text-decoration: none;color: #719602;">like us on Facebook too</a>,) but let's be honest. You probably liked a bunch of companies on Facebook because you shop there and wanted to see what their Facebook page was all about, or because they were running a contest that required you Like them&mdash;not because they offer you any tangible benefit today. Alternatively:</p> <ul> <li><b>Follow the same companies on Twitter instead</b>. Twitter doesn't come with the same commitment that Facebook does, or the same access to your friends. You could also use <a href="http://lifehacker.us1.list-manage2.com/track/click?u=251e609e1dba3888b86c21cc8&id=87e43504b6&e=d8e4ad1170" style="text-decoration: none;color: #719602;">Twitter lists</a> to stay on top of their deals and coupons without having to like or follow them at all.</li> <li><b>Set up a second Facebook account for "liking" purposes</b>. A second account, one that you only use for things like promotions and discounts, is invaluable&mdash;stuff it full of as much or as little information as you choose to provide, and then use it instead of your main account. You can even use it as a way to see what's Facebook is sharing from your primary account without you knowing (although the specifics vary from friend to friend.) Note: Facebook's policy is one person-one account, so you'd likely be violating their TOS by doing this. Just something to keep in mind.</li> <li><b>Adjust your <a href="http://lifehacker.us1.list-manage.com/track/click?u=251e609e1dba3888b86c21cc8&id=cd63f4ae3a&e=d8e4ad1170" style="text-decoration: none;color: #719602;">Facebook Ad Settings</a></b>. <a href="http://lifehacker.us1.list-manage.com/track/click?u=251e609e1dba3888b86c21cc8&id=c3e7fa9681&e=d8e4ad1170" style="text-decoration: none;color: #719602;">One reader noted</a> that you can also make sure to limit Facebook's ability to use your name and likeness in ads (which they currently don't, but say they may in the future), and how they use your likes and pages to generate ads for others to see. There's even <a href="http://lifehacker.us1.list-manage.com/track/click?u=251e609e1dba3888b86c21cc8&id=2396422831&e=d8e4ad1170" style="text-decoration: none;color: #719602;">a settings page</a> governing it, even though it's quite buried.

Facebook's <a href="http://lifehacker.us1.list-manage1.com/track/click?u=251e609e1dba3888b86c21cc8&id=4bc374c1cc&e=d8e4ad1170" style="text-decoration: none;color: #719602;">new Graph Search</a> gives you a great way to find people who share interests with you, but it also gives advertisers a great way to cross-reference people's likes and interests so they can better target who should see their brand or product, and which of their friends they should use to say "See? Your friend already likes us, why don't you?" <i style="font-size:80%">Image from the always funny <a href="http://lifehacker.us1.list-manage.com/track/click?u=251e609e1dba3888b86c21cc8&id=6962e84f29&e=d8e4ad1170" style="text-decoration: none;color: #719602;">Actual Facebook Graph Searches</a>.</i></p> <p style="margin: 0 0 13px;clear: left;">Now, Graph Search is only limited to a small number of people right now and it respects your privacy settings. If you're smart about <a href="http://lifehacker.us1.list-manage.com/track/click?u=251e609e1dba3888b86c21cc8&id=67ebac643e&e=d8e4ad1170" style="text-decoration: none;color: #719602;">keeping your privacy settings where they should be</a>, you don't have anything to worry about from Graph Search. Similarly, it's not certain that Graph Search is even open to advertisers right now, so there's no reason to get out the torches and the pitchforks.</p> <p style="margin: 0 0 13px;clear: left;">Another example of the same philosophy was Facebook's Social Reader. Graph Search is in the future, but Social Reader is a great example of a Facebook feature that went belly up because people didn't care too much for their activity being shared automatically and without their explicit permission each time it was used. News sites using Social Reader, like <em>The Washington Post</em> and <em>The Guardian</em> (the latter of which has already killed their social reader app) saw tumbling numbers last year as readers ditched them en masse. Whether they left because they didn't care for every story they read being automatically shared with their friends (assuming they didn't change post visibility to "only me,") or because they just didn't like what those apps had to offer is still a matter of debate.</p> <h3 style="font-weight: bold;margin: 0 0 13px;">The Bottom Line: Just Know What You're Getting Into</h3> <p style="margin: 0 0 13px;clear: left;"><a href="http://lifehacker.us1.list-manage.com/track/click?u=251e609e1dba3888b86c21cc8&id=71be009532&e=d8e4ad1170" style="text-decoration: none;color: #719602;"><img src="http://img.gawkerassets.com/img/18fxv6d331pripng/medium.png" width="300" class="image_5 right v10_medium" alt="How Facebook Is Using You to Annoy Your Friends (and How to Stop It)" title="How Facebook Is Using You to Annoy Your Friends (and How to Stop It)" style="display: block;float: left;margin: 5px 13px 10px 0;"></a> The truth is that Facebook is a free service to users, and it needs to make money somehow, and that money <em>will</em> be made using your data. The question is whether Facebook uses it or they give it to someone else to use, and how that information is used.</p> <p style="margin: 0 0 13px;clear: left;">The moral of the story here is to be careful with the things you like, because it's not just things you share that end up in your friends' news feeds. Since you can't even go to your profile to see what's been shared on your behalf, it's impossible to tell until someone pings you to ask why you've been liking so many posts from one particular Facebook group lately, or why the only thing you seem to share these days are someone else's photos. Of course, stay on top of your privacy settings, the post visibility of apps you use (remember: "Only Me" is your friend,) watch what you click "Share" on. Oh, and of course: Every time Facebook makes an arcane change with nebulous results, make sure to update them accordingly.</p> <p style="margin: 0 0 13px;clear: left;"><i style="font-size:80%">Title

The principle of a pump drill's operation is similar to the button spinner or whirligig, in which rotational momentum is built and maintained by repeated twisting and untwisting of a cord. After reading about them in a book about primitive technology, I got interested in the idea of a "modern" pump drill, operating on the same principle as the ancient tool but manufactured from industrial-age materials instead of wood, stone, and bone.<p><a href="http://blog.makezine.com/2013/02/26/tool-tales-the-pump-drill/">Read the full article on MAKE</a></p><img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=blog.makezine.com&#038;blog=30206320&#038;post=274956&#038;subd=makezineblog&#038;ref=&#038;feed=1" width="1" height="1" /><div style="font-size:1px;line-height:1px;padding:0px;"> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/makezineonline?a=n6gRnkQhRrQ:2LOysqezDBQ:yIl2AUoC8zA"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/makezineonline?d=yIl2AUoC8zA" border="0"/></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/makezineonline?a=n6gRnkQhRrQ:2LOysqezDBQ:D7DqB2pKExk"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/makezineonline?i=n6gRnkQhRrQ:2LOysqezDBQ:D7DqB2pKExk" border="0"/></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/makezineonline?a=n6gRnkQhRrQ:2LOysqezDBQ:I9og5sOYxJI"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/makezineonline?d=I9og5sOYxJI" border="0"/></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/makezineonline?a=n6gRnkQhRrQ:2LOysqezDBQ:V_sGLiPBpWU"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/makezineonline?i=n6gRnkQhRrQ:2LOysqezDBQ:V_sGLiPBpWU" border="0"/></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/makezineonline?a=n6gRnkQhRrQ:2LOysqezDBQ:qj6IDK7rITs"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/makezineonline?d=qj6IDK7rITs" border="0"/></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/makezineonline?a=n6gRnkQhRrQ:2LOysqezDBQ:-BTjWOF_DHI"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/makezineonline?i=n6gRnkQhRrQ:2LOysqezDBQ:-BTjWOF_DHI" border="0"/></a> </div><img align="right" style="float:right" src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/makezineonline/~4/n6gRnkQhRrQ" height="1" width="1"/><!--<![endif]--> <div style="clear:both;padding-top:0.7em;"><a title="Like on Facebook" href="http://p.feedblitz.com/f.share?_/28/http%3a%2f%2ffeedproxy.google.com%2f~r%2fmakezineonline%2f~3%2fn6gRnkQhRrQ%2f/Tool+Tales%3a+The+Pump+Drill"><img height="20" src="http://assets.feedblitz.com/i/fblike20.png" style="border:0;margin:0px 1px 0px;padding:0"/></a> <a title="Share on Google+" href="http://p.feedblitz.com/f.share?_/30/http%3a%2f%2ffeedproxy.google.com%2f~r%2fmakezineonline%2f~3%2fn6gRnkQhRrQ%2f/Tool+Tales%3a+The+Pump+Drill"><img height="20" src="http://assets.feedblitz.com/i/googleplus20.png" style="border:0;margin:0px 1px 0px;padding:0"/></a> <a title="Add to LinkedIn" href="http://p.feedblitz.com/f.share?_/16/http%3a%2f%2ffeedproxy.google.com%2f~r%2fmakezineonline%2f~3%2fn6gRnkQhRrQ%2f/Tool+Tales%3a+The+Pump+Drill"><img height="20" src="http://assets.feedblitz.com/i/linkedin20.png" style="border:0;margin:0px 1px 0px;padding:0"/></a> <a title="Pin it!" href="http://p.feedblitz.com/f.share?_/29/http%3a%2f%2ffeedproxy.google.com%2f~r%2fmakezineonline%2f~3%2fn6gRnkQhRrQ%2f/Tool+Tales%3a+The+Pump+Drill,http%3a%2f%2fmakezineblog.files.wordpress.com%2f2013%2f02%2fhandle-tie-detail.jpg%3fw%3d200%26amp%3bh%3d200%26amp%3bcrop%3d1"><img height="20" src="http://assets.feedblitz.com/i/pinterest20.png" style="border:0;margin:0px 1px 0px;padding:0"/></a> <a title="Tweet it!" href="http://p.feedblitz.com/f.share?_/24/http%3a%2f%2ffeedproxy.google.com%2f~r%2fmakezineonline%2f~3%2fn6gRnkQhRrQ%2f/Tool+Tales%3a+The+Pump+Drill"><img height="20" src="http://assets.feedblitz.com/i/twitter20.png" style="border:0;margin:0px 1px 0px;padding:0"/></a> </div><!--<![endif]--><div style=" padding-top:8pt;font-size: 8pt;

You don't have to let them go to waste, though! Here's how to combine multiple hard drives into one, huge volume that'll hold just about anything. <!-- %JUMP:More &raquo;% --></p> <p style="margin: 0 0 13px;clear: left;">Storage is pretty cheap these days, and buying a new hard drive is always going to be the best way to increase your storage. However, maybe you're on a strict budget and can't afford a new drive. In that case, you might be better off combining some old drives you have lying around. Or, maybe you have other specific needs that require lots of space on one volume. For example, perhaps you're:</p> <ul> <li>You're storing terabytes worth of of movies, TV shows, music, or other media you've ripped and want it all on one volume</li> <li>You need lots of consecutive storage for video editing, photo editing, or other "scratch disk" needs</li> <li>You have a lot of games that have to be stored on the same volume (e.g., Steam games) but can't fit them all on one drive</li> </ul> <p style="margin: 0 0 13px;clear: left;">In this guide, we'll discuss three options for combining multiple hard drives, how to do each, and their advantages and disadvantages to one another.</p> <h3 style="font-weight: bold;margin: 0 0 13px;">Option One: Use Symbolic Links</h3> <p style="margin: 0 0 13px;clear: left;">By far the easiest method is to use symbolic links, which are similar to shortcuts, but "fool" your system into thinking its the actual folder it links to. So, this allows you to store a folder on your second drive, create a symbolic link to it on your first drive, and it'll <em>feel</em> like all the files are on that first drive (even though they aren't). And, unlike shortcuts, programs on your computer won't know that one folder isn't the real deal. Let's take the video game example from above: Steam requires all your games to reside on the same drive, but if you have more games than can fit on one drive, you can move some of them to a second drive and set up symbolic links on the first drive so Steam is none the wiser.</p> <p style="margin: 0 0 13px;clear: left;">To do this in Windows:</p> <p style="margin: 0 0 13px;clear: left;"><a href="http://lifehacker.us1.list-manage.com/track/click?u=251e609e1dba3888b86c21cc8&id=583b5ad500&e=d8e4ad1170" style="text-decoration: none;color: #719602;"><img src="http://img.gawkerassets.com/img/18fuep2457ke9jpg/medium.jpg" width="300" class="image_1 right v10_medium" alt="How to Combine Multiple Hard Drives Into One Volume for Cheap, High-Capacity Storage" title="How to Combine Multiple Hard Drives Into One Volume for Cheap, High-Capacity Storage" style="display: block;float: left;margin: 5px 13px 10px 0;"></a></p> <ol> <li>Find one of the folders that you want to move to your second drive. In this case, let's say it's <code>C:\Games\Steam\steamapps\common\Portal</code>. Move that folder to your second drive, and note its location (in this case, we'll say it's <code>D:\Games\Portal</code>.</li> <li>Open up the Start menu and type <code>cmd</code>. Press Enter to open up a Command Prompt window.</li> <li>Type the following command and press Enter: <div class="code">mklink /J C:\Games\Steam\steamapps\common\Portal D:\Games\Portal</div> <p style="margin: 0 0 13px;clear: left;">Notice that the first path is the location of the link, and the second path is the location of the moved folder. Obviously, replace the two file paths with the paths on your system.</p> <p style="margin: 0 0 13px;clear: left;">If you were creating a hard link to a file instead of a folder, you would use <code>/H</code> instead of <code>/J</code> after the command.</p> </li> <li>Reopen Steam and try to launch your game. It will look in the old path, find the hard link, and be directed to the game's new location.</li> </ol> <p style="margin: 0 0 13px;clear: left;">You can also use free software like <a href="http://lifehacker.us1.list-manage.com/track/click?u=251e609e1dba3888b86c21cc8&id=b7de400133&e=d8e4ad1170" style="text-decoration: none;color: #719602;">Link Shell Extension</a> (or, in the case of video games, <a href="http://lifehacker.us1.list-manage.com/track/click?u=251e609e1dba3888b86c21cc8&id=b18b2ff11e&e=d8e4ad1170" style="text-decoration: none;color: #719602;">Steam Mover</a>) to perform the same task without the command line.</p> <p style="margin: 0 0 13px;clear: left;">To do this in OS X:</p> <p style="margin: 0 0 13px;clear: left;"><a href="http://lifehacker.us1.list-manage.com/track/click?u=251e609e1dba3888b86c21cc8&id=928dd75133&e=d8e4ad1170" style="text-decoration: none;color: #719602;"><img src="http://img.gawkerassets.com/img/18fufepij2di4jpg/medium.jpg" width="300" class="image_2 right v10_medium" alt="How to Combine Multiple Hard Drives Into One Volume for Cheap, High-Capacity Storage" title="How to Combine Multiple Hard Drives Into One Volume for Cheap, High-Capacity Storage" style="display: block;float: left;margin: 5px 13px 10px 0;"></a></p> <ol> <li>Find one of the folders that you want to move to your second drive. In this case, let's say it's <code>/Users/yourusername/Library/Application Support/Steam/SteamApps/common/Portal</code>. Move that folder to your second drive, and note its location (in this case, we'll say it's <code>/Volumes/Games/Portal</code>).</li> <li>Open up a Terminal window (through /Applications/Utilities/Terminal).</li> <li>Type the following command and press Enter: <div class="code">ln -s /Volumes/Games/Portal "/Users/yourusername/Library/Application Support/Steam/SteamApps/common/Portal"</div> <p style="margin: 0 0 13px;clear: left;">Notice that the first path is the location of the moved folder, and the second path is the location of the link. Obviously, replace the two file paths with the paths on your system.</p> </li> <li>Reopen Steam and try to launch your game. It will look in the old path, find the hard link, and be directed to the game's new location.</li> </ol> <p style="margin: 0 0 13px;clear: left;">Of course, you can also perform this function on just about any OS out there, <a href="http://lifehacker.us1.list-manage1.com/track/click?u=251e609e1dba3888b86c21cc8&id=a3c49b2c26&e=d8e4ad1170" style="text-decoration: none;color: #719602;">including Linux</a>. Windows users can also <a href="http://lifehacker.us1.list-manage.com/track/click?u=251e609e1dba3888b86c21cc8&id=da6ec74be3&e=d8e4ad1170" style="text-decoration: none;color: #719602;">mount an entire drive to a folder</a> using built-in Windows features. Search around for instructions on your specific OS for more information.</p> <p style="margin: 0 0 13px;clear: left;"><b style="font-size:120%">Pros</b>: This method's biggest advantage is that it's easy, and allows you to control the location of each specific file or folder. It works with any number of drives of any capacity and speed. If one of your drives fails, you only lose the data on that drive, and the other drives stay intact.</p> <p style="margin: 0 0 13px;clear: left;"><b style="font-size:120%">Cons</b>: If you need to do this with a lot of files or folders, it can get to be very tedious and annoying. If you're storing hundreds of videos (like movies and TV shows), this probably wouldn't be optimal.</p> <h3 style="font-weight: bold;margin: 0 0 13px;">Option Two: Create a Spanned Volume</h3> <p style="margin: 0 0 13px;clear: left;">If you have a lot of files and folders to work with and you want them all on one volume (and symbolic links aren't ideal), you have another option: creating a spanned volume (also known as disk concatenation). Spanned volumes are like the opposite of partitioning: you create one volume that starts at the beginning of your first disk, and ends at the end of your last disk, creating one giant volume. This is often also referred to as Just a Bunch of Disks (JBOD). There's a lot of controversy over whether it is actually correct to call it this, so we won't use it here&mdash;just know that elsewhere around the net, you may see these two terms used interchangeably.</p> <p style="margin: 0 0 13px;clear: left;">To create a spanned volume in Windows:</p> <p style="margin: 0 0 13px;clear: left;"><a href="http://lifehacker.us1.list-manage2.com/track/click?u=251e609e1dba3888b86c21cc8&id=850b424a08&e=d8e4ad1170" style="text-decoration: none;color: #719602;"><img src="http://img.gawkerassets.com/img/18fud442wds9ojpg/medium.jpg" width="300" class="image_3 right v10_medium" alt="How to Combine Multiple Hard Drives Into One Volume for Cheap, High-Capacity Storage" title="How to Combine Multiple Hard Drives Into One Volume for Cheap, High-Capacity Storage" style="display: block;float: left;margin: 5px 13px 10px 0;"></a></p> <ol> <li>Back up any data on your drives, since you'll need to erase the ones you're spanning.</li> <li>Open the Start menu and type <code>diskmgmt.msc</code>. Click on the option that appears and find the disks you want to combine.</li> <li>If your disks have data on them, right-click on each and choose "Delete Volume." Make sure you're deleting the correct volumes!</li> <li>Right-click on the first of the now-empty drives you want to add to your span and choose "Create New Spanned Volume."</li> <li>When the New Spanned Volume wizard starts, click Next until you get to the Select Disks screen. Highlight the second disk you want to add to the span, then click the Add button.

Linux users can use <a href="http://lifehacker.us1.list-manage.com/track/click?u=251e609e1dba3888b86c21cc8&id=d4a05459f9&e=d8e4ad1170" style="text-decoration: none;color: #719602;">a feature called Logical Volume Management</a>, and most other OSes should have an option for this too&mdash;heck, <a href="http://lifehacker.us1.list-manage.com/track/click?u=251e609e1dba3888b86c21cc8&id=4d2ec65aff&e=d8e4ad1170" style="text-decoration: none;color: #719602;">even Nas4Free has it built right in</a>. Google your own OS for instructions on how to perform similar functions (and remember, it might be referred to as JBOD or disk concatenation).</p> <p style="margin: 0 0 13px;clear: left;"><b style="font-size:120%">Pros</b>: Managing a spanned volume is much easier than managing symbolic links, since once you've created it, you don't actually have to "manage" anything. It just shows up on your computer as one big drive. When it runs out of space on the first physical disk, it moves onto the second without you having to worry about it. This also works with any number of drives at any combination of speeds, unlike RAID.</p> <p style="margin: 0 0 13px;clear: left;"><b style="font-size:120%">Cons</b>: The biggest problem with spanned volumes is that they introduce a greater probability of drive failure. If you have a volume spanned over three drives, that's three drives that could fail instead of just one, and if one of your drives fails, you lose <em>all</em> of the data in that spanned volume (though some of it <a href="http://lifehacker.us1.list-manage.com/track/click?u=251e609e1dba3888b86c21cc8&id=5778881155&e=d8e4ad1170" style="text-decoration: none;color: #719602;">may be recoverable</a>).</p> <p style="margin: 0 0 13px;clear: left;">As such, we don't recommend this option for most scenarios. However, if you have a lot of data that isn't particularly important&mdash;or is backed up elsewhere (like a bunch of DVDs and Blu-Ray discs that you've ripped)&mdash;this might be an okay option. Just be aware of the downsides and the necessary precautions to keep your data safe.</p> <h3 style="font-weight: bold;margin: 0 0 13px;">Option Three: Set Up a RAID Array</h3> <p style="margin: 0 0 13px;clear: left;">The last option is using a Redundant Array of Independent Disks, also known as <a href="http://lifehacker.us1.list-manage1.com/track/click?u=251e609e1dba3888b86c21cc8&id=6e27e119cd&e=d8e4ad1170" style="text-decoration: none;color: #719602;">RAID</a>. It offers a lot of benefits that disk spanning doesn't, like speed, reliability, and protection against drive failure. There are a number of different types of RAID, though, and they each serve slightly different purposes. Here are the most common:</p> <div style="float: right; width: 300px; margin: 10px 0px 10px 25px; font-size: 0.675em; color: grey); padding: 0px; font-family: Verdana;"><!-- videoId: Y7vZ3ZWkNVA --><span class="customObject framed" style="background-color: #f0f0f0;border: 1px solid #ccc;display: block;float: left;height: 75px;margin: 20px 40px 20px 0;width: 150px;text-align: center;"><a href="http://lifehacker.us1.list-manage.com/track/click?u=251e609e1dba3888b86c21cc8&id=49f8fafc6d&e=d8e4ad1170" style="text-decoration: none;color: #719602;margin-top: 6px;padding-top: 40px;display: block;background: transparent url(http://ganja.gawkerassets.com/assets/base.v10.static/img/ui/icon-play-gray.png) center top no-repeat;">Click to view</a></span><!-- /videoId: Y7vZ3ZWkNVA --></div> <ul> <li><b>RAID 0</b> is similar to a spanned volume: its main goal is to combine multiple drives into one big volume. However, instead of spanning your volumes, it uses something called <em>striping</em>: instead of filling up one drive and moving onto the next, it writes data across all of your drives. This means read speeds are faster than a spanned volume, since you can read multiple parts of the data at one time. However, if one drive fails, then you lose <em>all</em> your data with little hope of recovery.</li> <li><b>RAID 1</b> doesn't actually combine multiple disks into one big volume at all. Instead, it implements a concept called <em>mirroring</em>: Whenever your main drive is written to, your computer writes the same data to your second drive. Your second drive is a mirror of your first one so that if one fails, you can pick right up with the second drive as if nothing went wrong.</li> <li><b>RAID 10</b> combines the best of RAID 0 and RAID 1: you create a mirrored RAID 1 array, then combine that with other RAID 1 arrays for one big, mirrored volume. This type of RAID requires quite a few disks (two to combine and another two to mirror, at the minimum), so it can be quite costly.</li> <li><b>RAID 5</b> introduces a feature called <i>parity</i>, which is another method for keeping your data protected from drive failure. Unlike RAID 10, in which you need to use half of your drives for redundancy, RAID 5 can store that recovery data in much smaller parity bits, spread across your drives. That means you can use more of your drives for data and hopefully save a bit of money. RAID 5 will be much slower to write data than RAID 10, though, so there is a tradeoff.</li> </ul> <p style="margin: 0 0 13px;clear: left;">These aren't the <em>only</em> types of RAID, but they are the most common. We could do a whole set of features on each type of RAID, so we won't go into a ton of detail here, but you get the general concept: with RAID 10 or RAID 5, you can expand a volume across multiple disks without worrying about an increased risk of failure, as you would with disk spanning.</p> <p style="margin: 0 0 13px;clear: left;">There are a number of ways to set up a RAID array. You can use software RAID, which is built-in to many motherboards and follows very similar instructions to creating a spanned volume (you would just choose a striped, mirrored, or RAID 5 array instead). Many people argue that hardware RAID, however, is more reliable, which involves installing a RAID card into your PC and setting up RAID using that. The process varies from computer to computer and from RAID card to RAID card, but <a href="http://lifehacker.us1.list-manage.com/track/click?u=251e609e1dba3888b86c21cc8&id=561eeaf8fe&e=d8e4ad1170" style="text-decoration: none;color: #719602;">our guide to RAID mirroring</a> should help get you started if you're interested. Windows 8 users might also check out the <a href="http://lifehacker.us1.list-manage.com/track/click?u=251e609e1dba3888b86c21cc8&id=cc7c9b0c9d&e=d8e4ad1170" style="text-decoration: none;color: #719602;">new Storage Spaces feature</a>, which isn't RAID, but has a lot of similar goals and features.</p> <p style="margin: 0 0 13px;clear: left;"><b style="font-size:120%">Pros</b>: Higher levels of RAID offer the ability to turn multiple drives into one, big, often fast volume without worrying about losing your data. <b><em>RAID is not a replacement for backup</em></b>, but it does make your life a lot easier if one of those drives fails. RAID 0 does not provide this redundancy, but is still faster than a spanned volume.</p> <p style="margin: 0 0 13px;clear: left;"><b style="font-size:120%">Cons</b>: Unfortunately, RAID has a few downsides too. To start, higher levels of RAID can be expensive, since you need quite a few drives to pull it off. They'd also have to be the same size and speed, or you'd have to sacrifice some of their size and speed. That is, in a RAID array, you're stuck using the smallest disk's capacity for each drive, and the slowest disk's speed for each drive. As such, it isn't ideal if you have a bunch of disks lying around and you're trying to save some money. But, if your data is important, it can help keep that data safe, too. RAID 0's biggest downside is not only the lack of redundancy, but the fact that if you lose one drive, you lose all your data&mdash;with little to no hope of recovering it.</p> <hr style="border-color: #eee;border-style: solid;margin: 0 0 10px;clear: both;"> <p style="margin: 0 0 13px;clear: left;">Combining multiple disks into one volume is a fairly controversial practice, as it can increase the risk of drives failing. However, if the situation is right&mdash;that is, if your data is unimportant, if you have it all backed up, or if you have redundancy built-in&mdash;combining those drives can be pretty handy.</p> <p
