Summary

This week on Ask Lifehacker we're not talking about the new iPad, but what we'd buy instead. Firefox 11 finally brings add-on sync and March Madness proves that piracy isn't always the best option when you want to watch TV online. Also, we'll extend a Wi-Fi signal from a house to a barn, figure out a use for OS X's dashboard, and start training for the inevitable zombie apocalypse.

1:05.8	What was your thing?
1:06.3	What would you get?
1:12.9	I would get an e-reader, something probably like the Nook Simple Touch, which I can hack and run Android on and get Insta paper.
