Monday, March 21st, 2011 – running time 11:48
Learn what it takes to be a master of technology in the Urban Jungle!

Segments

In this, our very first episode of Lifehacker, we give you the tech skills you need to survive in the urban jungle. We'll teach you how to craft a makeshift laptop bag out of your hoodie, tether your laptop to your smartphone without paying a mothly service fee, and make an emergency lamp out of a tuna can in case of zombie apocalypse. We also tell you the best times to go pee at a movie, how to uncork a bottle using nothing but a shoe, and what the heck that "Free Public Wifi" connection you always see is all about. Enjoy!
