Computer hardware is expensive, so you always want to ensure you’re buying at the best price. The Hover Hound extension for Chrome and Firefox compares hardware prices at Newegg with Tiger Direct and Amazon with a hover of your mouse cursor.
Once you’ve installed the extension, just head to Newegg and start browsing. As you peruse all the goodies, you’ll notice a green "Hover Hound" button below the "Add to Cart" button. Just hover your mouse over that green button and you’ll see the prices for the same item at Amazon and Tiger Direct. If you click the button, it will send you to wherever the price is the lowest outside of Newegg. It displays whether there is shipping and handling, and tells you whether an item qualifies for Amazon Prime.
You can also hover over the green button and click the "View Price History" link to see when the prices were at their highest and lowest for each seller, and what the prices were. To download the Chrome extension or Firefox add-on, check the links below.

The popularity of drones is climbing quickly among companies, governments and citizens alike. But the rules surrounding where, when and why you can fly an unmanned aerial vehicle aren’t very clear. The FAA has tried to assert control and insist on licensing for all drone operators, while drone pilots and some legal experts claim drones […]

In our recent discussion on ways to hack your grill, Lifehacker reader torchbearer2 recommended the Kettle Pizza—an interesting accessory that turns your grill into a pizza oven. At $150, however, it’s not cheap. You can make your own version for about $20.
YouTube user madbare explains how to transform cheap steel flashing—which you can get from a home improvement store—into a clone of the Kettle Pizza. Although you don’t see him making the contraption in action, the design is very straightforward. He used a plasma cutter for the hole in the middle, but you can use a jigsaw instead.
In the comments on his video, he says:
Worked great and saw temps at the stone of 600F and in in the dome close to 900F. All in all I say it worked great. I did end up adding a couple more bolts to hold the stone in place and added a few 1/8 sheet metal screws around the top.
Let this be the Summer of Grilled Pizza.

Like with nuclear war, a water balloon fight isn’t about pinpoint accuracy. What’s most important is raining down as much soakage on your opponent as quickly as possible. Which means that the Bunch O Balloons, which promises to let you make 100 throw-ready water balloons every minute, could be the most important addition to your summertime arsenal.
The Bunch O Balloons looks like a green 37-armed octopus with tiny empty balloons hanging off of every tentacle. The whole thing attaches to the end of a garden house and when the water’s turned on the balloons all automatically fill at the same time. When full they’re all easily dislodged with a simple shake, while small black elastics automatically seal them shut.
Bunch O Balloons’ creator, Josh Malone, is attempting to raise $10,000 on Kickstarter to put his invention into production. With a pledge of just $15 you can get a single pack which includes three hose attachments and a total of 100 water balloons—just add water.
It’s certainly more expensive than buying a bag of normal balloons, until you factor in the hours spent manually filling and tying 100 of them. Suddenly, $15 sounds like a reasonable investment if it keeps your kids occupied for an entire summer afternoon. [Kickstarter – Bunch O Balloons]

It looks like the white dots in this optical illusion are all orbiting an imaginary point in space that, at the same time, is orbiting the center of that red circle. They are not. In reality, they are all moving in straight lines going from one side of the red circle to the opposite one.

Wow, all these rotating white dots are actually moving in straight lines
