What is Digg?30 Comments
- nymphetamine, on 07/27/2008, -5/+22Because that's one way to find out about apps that you may not have heard of.
- AaronSaund, on 07/28/2008, -3/+14FYI, no one gives a ***** if you buried the story or not. Just digg or bury and move on. STFU. Maybe some people will find these apps useful.
- binorgog, on 08/07/2008, -5/+13I enjoyed seeing what they use and how they use it. IT can be lonely, and it's great to compare notes.

- Tribis, on 07/28/2008, -3/+8Before more people start asking "how did this get to the front page" or "who cares", let me simply provide a link that not only answers your questions but thoroughly explains the concept behind the answer.

- torsoheap, on 07/28/2008, -5/+9Agreed. I expected to see wicked case mods, OS hacking, etc., not lame Firefox extensions and photo grabbers.
The list was more like, "Which tools allow me to publish a mediocre website." - Splitter402, on 07/28/2008, -6/+8Very nice. Bookmarked for later so I can get some fun apps going
- davidhildreth, on 07/28/2008, -1/+2Nope I'm on OS X 10.5 and Quicksilver is about the only thing on that list that is worth a damn.
- alladoma, on 07/28/2008, -0/+1Good enough for my level of geek-ism.
- MrViklund, on 07/28/2008, -1/+1They should change name to Techtrickstipsanddownloadsforgettingthingsdone.com
- Reziarfg, on 07/28/2008, -4/+4So I take it you're on Windows 2000 and use Windows Media Player for your audio? And naturally you browse the net with Netscape 4.1 right?
Most of the stuff on that list is mainstream high quality apps.
Anyways I suppose I shouldn't feed the trolls. - tl01, on 02/12/2009, -0/+0thanks for sharing

It's a really simple beautiful app for todo's based on the GTD system and about 20 times better than the overly complex iGTD2 app.
- inactive, on 07/28/2008, -1/+1Skitch is great - it lets you 'draw' on the screenshot and post it directly online. You can't do that with the OS X screen capture.
- TH3W1R3D, on 07/28/2008, -2/+1I have SnagIt and it works great. I don't know what your talking about..
- dimanorcal, on 07/28/2008, -2/+1Same story here with Mozy - we are having to look for an alternative backup solution for the exact reasons you stated above plus more. Waste of our time and company IT hours trying to troubleshoot it.
- javaroast, on 07/28/2008, -3/+1I think this explains all the gawker stuff a little better.

- davidhildreth, on 07/28/2008, -8/+5Don't bother this list is mostly *****.
- Rikkochet, on 07/28/2008, -7/+3Mozy blows - we tried using it at work and their staff was useless and their software was clunky and bug ridden. They should be in a free beta phase with what they're offering. The best part: you have to purchase the amount of backup storage you'd like (for business accounts) and then stay within that. If, say, your DB transaction logs get huge and you go over into another gig, your backups simply won't run anymore. Whatever happened to just ***** backing up my data and charging me for the usage?
Another dumbass thing Mozy does is in their billing - personal accounts are around 3 bucks a month, plus you pay a per-gig storage fee. Business accounts are 7 bucks a month, plus you pay a per-gig storage fee. But for some reason, you pay a higher per-gig storage fee for a business account. What the ***** is that? Storage is storage. Charge me more as a flat rate for your enterprise software, not for the actual storage space. That's the same thing as a telco charging more for phone usage/data for a corporate client than a consumer one. It doesn't work that way. Bad software, stupid company.
I've also had a horrific time using Snag It - like everything Techsmith produces (anyone have to use Camtasia seriously?) it's bug prone and crashes a hell of a lot of the time. - davidhildreth, on 07/28/2008, -8/+2FF, Adium and Instantshot/Skitch are simply not as useable, quick or elegant as their built-in OS X counterparts.
Since the release of 3, FF fanboys may have an argument but a screen shot app in OS X? :| - mach32, on 07/28/2008, -7/+0s t u n n i n g
- veronicaromm, on 07/28/2008, -9/+1Great article.
- JakeW, on 07/28/2008, -17/+2***** you! Two of my friends died from reading Lifehacker!
- MrViklund, on 07/27/2008, -23/+3Agreed. Who cares really.
- MrViklund, on 07/27/2008, -32/+4Isn't Lifehacker about hacking your own life?
- strevoir, on 07/27/2008, -44/+13Why do I need to know ' Lifehacker Editors' Favorite Software and Hardware' ? Another lifehacker trash. buried.
