| What We Say: | With a utilitarian mindset and a young, impressive editorial staff, Lifehacker.com provides very valuable insights on making the most of, or simply gaining a better understanding of, Windows, Linux and Mac OS X. The “How To” section features seemingly though refreshingly off-topic entries, such as “How to Be a Great Tipper,” “Save Time and Stress at Airport Security” and “How to Remove Gum from Clothes.” The apparent off-topic-ness for a computer blog, however, is only what catches the eye, considering Lifehacker’s motto: “Tech tricks, tips and downloads for getting things done.” |

Worth Knowing
| Parent Company | Gawker Media. |
| Useful Tools | Embedded site search engine. Nice list of links to other tech blogs at the bottom of all pages. "Tips Tool" embeds into browser's "favorites-" or "toolbar," enabling story submissions directly through the Lifehacker blog site. Links to Digg and Facebook with each article. |
| $$$ | Free access to all content. Minimal advertising. |
| Pros | Great writing and editing with an equally great focus on learning the most effective ways to use personal computers. Excellent balance between PC and Mac coverage with frequent daily posts. |
| Cons | Very little video content. No email subscription option. |
