Their health related articles can be dubious, as Lifehacker often parrots the sensationalized mainstream headlines du jour or unverified claims, from non-scientific publications.

The tech and daily life hacks division of Gawker Media. Some "mature" language in forum posts, but no other trouble found.

good tips and funny news but unforgivable for their data breach debacle.

Excellent site with excellent writers, just one thing that a few months back a lot of the accounts security was compromised.

Gawker media was great about notifying all of their users, on the site and through email, that they had a data spill of user accounts and passwords. They made sure to inform everyone to change their passwords and be aware of suspicious email. The speed and wide spread account of this incident earned some more respect from me!

The company behind Lifehacker got hacked a while back loosing the passwords and other info of registered users. No big deal, and not likely to happen again, but don't give them your primary email-adress or any passwords you use for something important. Otherwise great site, good way to stay on top of computer news and a nice way to waste a few hours.

Great site for tech-geeks or power users, is also useful for "normal" users who want to do X with their computer. would also recommend How-To Geek for "normal" or a bit above users.

Good site with informative content, however noting Gawkers recent brushes with hacker infiltration, I would be hesitant to put any personal information here. Just my opinion, other than that they are great.
