11 Killer Freebies for Your Pocket PC
by Rick Broida Click to viewMany PDA users never venture beyond basic calendar and contact management, perhaps thinking that's all the devices are good for. That's a shame, because the modern Pocket PC (that is, a PDA running Microsoft's Windows Mobile operating system) can do more than you ever imagined, from reading e-books to making VoIP phone calls to streaming TV shows from your PC. And you c
Make your own air conditioner
The $30 homemade air conditioner we posted over a year ago got an upgrade! You may recall that this neat contraption used a bucket of ice water and gravity to make cold water flow through a coil of pipe attached to the back of a fan, which made it blow cold air. A closed-circuit version doesn't waste water; it uses an aquarium pump to push the water through a tube loop submerged in an ice-filled c

Put Wikipedia on your iPod

How to remove a CD protection label
Lifehacker reader Robby writes in with a neat trick to remove those pesky CD protection labels. A friend recently taught me how to remove the annoying label at the top of a CD quickly and easily after watching me struggle to pick at one for 5 minutes. It's so simple, I wish I had thought of it. Instead of peeling the sticker before opening the CD, you open the CD from the bottom by pulling down on
Hack Attack: Using Windows Scheduled Tasks
by Adam Pash Everyone knows that you're supposed to defragment your Windows hard drives regularly, right? A defragmented hard drive means quicker access times, less bugginess, and all-around healthier drives. Even though I've heard the virtues, I've never been good at keeping my hard drives defragged and healthy. If I can't set it to run regularly like my good ol' anti-virus scan, I'm not interest

Geek to Live: Extreme makeover, filing cabinet edition by Gina Trapani One of the main clutter culprits in my home office is the "To File" pile - you know, that stack of paperwork that's supposed to go into the file drawer at one point or another. Usually this pile spontaneously occurs right on top of the filing cabinet, which is pretty silly. I mean, instead of adding stuff to the pile, why would
Hack Attack: The self-sustaining iPod
by Adam Pash Anyone with an iPod knows that being locked into your iTunes library can be a very annoying thing. And though there are a lot of solutions for working through this, I've never been entirely happy with the results. What's more, if you're not a big fan of iTunes in the first place (or you're just not a fan of firing up that memory hog just to sync your iPod), it can be that much more an
