Hello and welcome to the Ask Lifehacker podcast. It is October 24th, and we're talking about

everything Apple did this week, along with whether or not you should buy all your stuff on Amazon

and how to donate to charity without giving any actual money you've earned. We're also answering

your questions about how to make iOS 7's calendar app suck less, picking a solid pair of

headphones, and whether or not Flickr

is too good to be true.

And as always, we'll be going through our favorite tips and downloads of the week, as well

as your live questions.

So let's get started.

Thank you. Hey, everybody. Thanks for listening in. I'm Adam Dachas. I'm here with Thorne Klosowski and Eric Ravenscraft. And Witson's out today. So, hmm, what happened to him? Well, here's what happened to Witson. Yeah, Witson, he's no longer with us. It's a temporary thing. He's not dead.

But we are without him for the time being an oarfish washed up near his beach house.

And this is normally, like, I didn't know this until this happened to him. But it apparently when L.A. is going to get earthquakes this happened in Japan apparently like

the orfish when they get beached their deep sea creatures um they used to be confused with like

these dangerous sea serpents and when they get and when they get beached it's a sign of that a big

earthquakes coming so witson was part of the party that found the beached oarfish

and is now like dealing with animal control and all these news outlets because they all want to

interview all these people. So it's just been this whole ordeal and so he's not able to make it to

the podcast today. But, you know, I mean, keep an eye on the LA Times. He might be in there with a giant

serpent in his hands.

And make sure you check out our posts on how to survive earthquakes, because that might be happening.

Yeah.

Yeah, I mean, we'll probably all be dead soon.
