What you missed from Barrett-Jackson's biggest auction over the ...

JTS

I like watching to see the cars and learn about things I don\'t know about. Plus not much other car related things in January to watch, so it\'s a good filler. However what really chews my hide with Barrett-Jackson is how they practically BEG for higher bids. Drives me nuts that they claim to be \"no reserve\", but then stall the bidding and make the audience feel like cheapskates until they get the price they want. I don\'t know the mechanics behind the scenes (i.e. agreements with the sellers), but no reserve, should mean no reserve. Stop trying to control the market value on these cars, and instead let the market control the value.

iPhone Headsets, DSLR Settings, and Word Document Searches

Readers offer their best tips for figuring out which earphone goes in which ear, fixing finicky DSLR cameras, and performing advanced searches in Microsoft Word.

Every day we receive boatloads of great reader tips in our inbox, but for various reasons?maybe they're a bit too niche, maybe we couldn't find a good way to present it, or maybe we just couldn't fit it in?the tip didn't make the front page. From the Tips Box is where we round up some of our favorites for your buffet-style consumption. Got a tip of your own to share? Add it in the comments, email it to tips at lifehacker.com, or share it on our tips and expert pages.

Remember Your Earbuds' Ear Assignment by Looking at the Headset

E1M0 discovers a small trick for remembering which earphone goes in which ear:

If you have a set of iPhone earbuds (with a remote), the remote is always on the right. This in common knowledge for most people, and yet it is useful for determining which ear to put your buds in. At night, if you sleep on your side, it can be uncomfortable to have both phones in your ears.

It makes sense then, to lay with your right ear up, allowing you easy access to the built in remote, thereby saving your eyes from the glaring screens of your gadgets. And as you only have one earbud in, it is sensible to go into accessibility settings, and turn on mono audio, so you are not missing the track for the left ear. While you are there, feel free to set a triple press of the home button to toggle white on black, making most apps easier on the eyes at night.

Fix Finicky DSLR Settings By Removing the Lens

Ellie finds a strange fix for her misbehaving Nikon:

I have a Nikon D90 camera, and while it's fantastic, I'd been having a problem. The autofocus stopped working and no matter what I could do, for months I couldn't get it to work again. I tried turning it off and on again (with multiple different switches that seemingly control the same feature), turning it off, resetting to factory settings, and nothing worked. I stumbled on this old MacRumors thread that recommended disconnecting the lens and putting it back on. What do you know: everything went back to normal after doing so.

So, if you have a camera that isn't behaving, just take the lens off and put it back on. It might be the only thing you need to do!

Perform More Advanced Searches in Microsoft Word

MsCassLopez drops some serious Microsoft Office knowledge:

You can unleash a whole extra set of search tools in MS Word similar to regular expressions, but easier. In the Fluent interface, press Replace, then select "More" and put a check at the side of "Use Wildcards" and click "Special." Instead of the boring selection of end marks, paragraph marks and other stuff no one knows what the hell it is, you get things you are probably looking for?like all words which are numbers, all words beginning with an uppercase character (even with an X in third position of you like) and other goodies. 'Til now, these were hidden away from ordinary mortals.

You can read more about this on Microsoft's help page on the subject, but pretty handy for those that live in Word.

Quickly Exist Android's Recent Apps Interface

Moon discovers a quick little tip for Android 4.0 and above:

Well here is another one of those Android tips that everyone knows and I just got around to. A light finger swipe on any blank spot near your "open apps" menu looks to be the same as tapping the home button. It's like showing the desktop, I guess, if the home button is just too damn far away.

It's not necessarily quicker than hitting the home button, but it's there as an option if you need it. Could be particularly useful if you break your home button.

Okay, obviously, this thread is as the title says. Here, you can create NPC's such as valuable/important people who will appear throughout the RP, or just to create some random human/elf/dwarf and then kill them off. The choice is yours. Also, NPC's will be controlled by anyone unless told otherwise. This thread is mainly so that you can create another character without the process of a long character sheet or just to introduce certain key/non-key characters.

For example, I plan on making a Dwarf (who will be the counterpart to Oghren! Love the little bastard XD) later who will be introduced during the Deep Roads part of the Role-play. Of course he can be controlled by anyone, however; there are terms to how and if I decide to have him killed. I hope some of this makes some sense as I am extremely tired. I will come back and edit this when I wake up, but for the time being, deal with it XD

What Is the Most Dangerous Place on Earth?

The Antarctic? The top of Mount Everest? The bottom of the ocean? In the middle of your parent's kitchen during a political argument on any given holiday? All good guesses, but none are quite right. Between environmental hazards, plagues, and other human beings, the world is a dangerous place, sure. But what locale takes the proverbial death cake? More like "what one doesn't?" Vsauce explains.

No Hulu Ads Mutes Annoying Ads On Hulu

Chrome: Ads are always a little annoying when they pop up in the middle of a show on Hulu. No Hulu Ads is a Chrome extension that automatically mutes ads when they pop up on Hulu so you can enjoy a peaceful little break.

No Hulu Ads is pretty simple. When an ad comes up on Hulu, the extension mutes the ad and covers it up with a black screen. When the ad is over, your video resumes playing at the same volume. You can also set No Hulu Ads to pause the video, or set up a desktop notification when the video comes back on.
