Tablets vs. Laptops, Frequent Smartphone Upgrades, and Cookware for Beginners

This week on the podcast we’re discussing whether or not a Windows Surface can replace your laptop, how to frequently upgrade your smartphone on the cheap, and the Twitter password leak.  We’re also answering your questions about cookware for beginners, upgrading or clean installing Windows 8, and making smartphone alerts actually useful.

Each week, Melissa Kirsch &amp; Alice Bradley of Lifehacker bring in all-star guests to tackle the stuff that matters—like how to be happy, how to buy a TV, how to be less bad with money and how to tell if you’re dating a psychopath. Look, you're doing great, but quite frankly we think you can be a little better. All your friends do too. It's time for The Upgrade.
