- Lifehacker
This book is great for tech learners of just about all levels.I consider myself technically inclined, however, there were still many things in this book that I had either never thought about, or just didn't know exactly how to do.
Lifehacker is a great collection of hacks that will make your life easier and more interesting. I recommend this book to anyone who possesses this desire.

- I could not find a trick to use
I bought this book, because Amazon recommended it automatically with this great book:The 4-Hour Workweek: Escape 9-5, Live Anywhere, and Join the New Rich
and I made a mistake. And this is NOT because the book is bad or poorly written or has no information inside. And this is why giving the stars here is hard thing. How to rate book if YOU can not use a single trick, because you just do not like them or do not need them?
Book is about (TECH!) tips, but I was buying the book, ... Read More
Rating: - Something for everyone
I liked the approach that the author takes in offering 88 tips that she has found useful.You can really just pick up the book and open to any page and start reading about a tip.Oh, sure, they are organized into groups and some tips build on the previous tip or two; but you can snack on these whenever you want.
I leave this book on the table in my cube to let visitors thumb through it if they happen to be waiting for me.
If you're a "continuous improvement personality" ... Read More
Rating: - Computer Hack - Not Life Hack
This book is definitely worth the time to pickup and read.As someone who has a million shortcuts in my life, I was hesitant picking this book up.But the first 25-40 hacks are gold.Solid Gold.
Most of the information in this book can be found in various locations.But the author brought everything together in one place.
My only criticsm of the book, was that it was written for the layman, for the most part.Descriptions on how to use flicker etc, were uncalled for. ... Read More
Rating: - Pretty cool.
Well, it's a pretty cool book ... but, I have to admit I haven't used one trick so far.Not sure why, but a lot of them seem unrealistic to me.I'm sure someone can use them, but most are not for me.
