A Lifehacker Australia reader writes in with a tale of woe involving forgotten car keys, but with a surprising ending involving a laptop and a helpful locksmith.

Next time you throw a party use markers intended for window art to mark up the glasses.

Crows are clever. If you have any doubts about it, click on Joshua Klein's video in which he teaches crows to use a dispenser.

They recognize individual humans and remember faces for months and per

Parabolic surfaces are perfect for collecting errant wireless signals and focusing them, and the food strainer in your kitchen cabinet is a parabola waiting to do something other than hold pasta.

Ford Motor Company recently announced an “SFE” - or “Superior Fuel Economy” - package for the upcomming 2009 F150. While Ford touts this package as evidence of their commitment to “unsurpassed fuel economy,” we think this package is more of a marketing ploy than a true product for fuel misers. Here are the details:

The Israelis are very very clever. But they lack the required pea sized brain to see they will lose their country in a war
They brutalise the helpless, and are shocked to see what the strong can do. Their lackeys in Jordan, the West Bank and Egypt, are nothing more than neutralised people, or bought out people.
And they engender a false sense of security and ability. Now the Israelis are not

Take my butter-softening method, for example. I like to bake a lot, but it's often spontaneous, meaning that I don't have time to let my butter or margarine soften at room temperature for 30 minutes. No problem! There's always the microwave. And if the microwave is occupied, well, I have another trick up my

Creative Ways to Reuse "Disposable" Items [Clever Uses] We asked earlier this week what disposable items you had found clever re-uses for, and the answers are in. Not surprisingly, some of you have some pretty crafty uses for household goods that usually end up at the curb.

After the jump, a roundup of our readers' waste-reducing reuses. Yogurt photo by Dan4th, all others by How can I recycle this.

We're surprised this hasn't been though up before, which means it probably isn't as simple as it sounds. MIRA's got a new plug-in hybrid in the works that skips the whole plug aspect. Instead of plugging the whole car into an outlet, you can pull out any of the three battery packs in the trunk and hook 'em into the wall. That means the car doesn't have to have direct access to a plug to be able to juice up, you just take the batteries to where the power's at and commence charging. They're calling the system H4V, and are powering the unit on lithium ion phosphate batteries. MIRA expects the retrofit to an existing car to cost about £2000 (around $3950 US).Read | Permalink | Email this | Comments

RSShugger is yet another blog directory I have found. It's not Web 2.0 -- it's pretty old school and refreshingly simple. Hey not everything has to be a widget. Rsshugger is not huge yet but I predict they'll grow. They request an honest review, so here it is: The usability issues I see is that 1) the control panel link is not a top tab. It's up at the upper right ONLY and I had to look for it a little. 2) sometimes it's not spelled out what's going on and the verbiage leaves the casual reader in the dark. I can imagine what the backend of this looks like and figure it out, but to most people the back end of a website is a mystery. 3) when you submit your blog feed it isn't at all obvious that anything happened because it reposts the same page.

The Box SocialGenre: Rock / Alternative / PopFrom: Madison, Wisconsin United StatesMix together one part swagger, two parts guitar, several pounds of pop sensibility and one well worn corduroy blazer (you know, the kind with elbow patches) and you've got yourself The Box Social, a young, loud, snotty rock 'n' roll band from Madison. Formed in 2001 by high school sophomores Nick Junkunc and Brian Peoplis, the Box Social signed to Milwaukee label No Karma after a couple of self released EPs. Too loud for power pop, too indie for hard rock, too pop for punk The Box Social sound like the result of a mad scientists experiment to create the perfect pop punk band from the DNA of The Dead Boys, Superchunk, The Poster Children and The Posies.

Not saving was okay, people believed, because stocks and homes were rising in value. Tapping home equity made sense because rates were low and the interest was usually tax-deductible. Taking a 401(k) loan was fine because you pay interest to yourself.Indeed, with enough of these clever strategies, you could wreck your financial future. -says Michael Maloon, a financial planner Well I have to say if you're going to starve or face a foreclosure, raiding a 401k, does not seem too bad. Just have a strategy to get back to where you were financially. When you become back on your feet, SAVE SAVE SAVE, that way you won't be long term foolish. I made a lot of financial mistakes, however I came back with a vengeance!!!

Speed Up Laundry with Tennis Balls [Clever Uses] The Life Hackery weblog lists 50 things you can do with tennis balls, including throwing them in the dryer to speed up and fluff up the laundry: Throw a few tennis balls into the dryer when you are drying comforters, fluffy coats, pillows, or anything else that could use a good fluffing.
