We mentioned an early version of Roadtrippers about a year ago, but the attraction-finding service has since added a ton of new content and features, and it's worth taking another look.As before, you just enter the starting point and destination for your upcoming road trip, and Roadtrippers will prepare a Google Maps route to get you from A to B. From here, you can specify how far off the beaten path you're willing to go, and which types of attractions, historical sites, restaurants, and more that you're interested in seeing along the way. The map will then populate with pins to point out great places to check out during your drive.The level of granularity available is impressive. Only interested in seeing amusement parks and microbreweries? You can filter the map down to just these options. Every point of interest also includes a place page with a crowdsourced "Rad-O-Meter reflecting the views of the Roadtrippers community. If you're just interested in browsing, the site also includes some handpicked guides that curate points of interest into unique tours. Want to visit the shooting locations of every American-filmed James Bond scene? RoadTrippers has you covered.When you're ready to hit the road, you can even save your itinerary and pull it up on Roadtripper's iPhone app. Unfortunately, you can't plan new routes on the app, but you can check out attractions nearby, and pull up the directions you found on the web.

This Video Shows You the Difference Between a T-Bone and a Porterhouse
If you've always thought that a T-Bone steak and a Porterhouse steak were the same thing, you'd be mistaken. They're both from the same cut and they both have the characteristic t-shaped bone in the center, but this video from the folks at America's Test Kitchen explains why one costs so much more than the other.Essentially, the real differentiator between the two is the size of the tenderloin section—or the smaller piece of meat on the short side of the bone (as opposed to the strip, which is the longer section on the other side). Because a T-Bone is allowed to have a smaller tenderloin section than a Porterhouse, that would mean that all Porterhouse steaks are T-Bones, but not all T-Bones are porterhouses. Either way, if you're ever at the butcher counter and see that the Porterhouse is much more pricey than the T-Bone (Also, if the butcher can't explain why, it's time to find a new butcher), now you'll know why, and you can opt to splurge or save accordingly.What’s the Difference Between a Porterhouse and a T-Bone Steak? | America's Test Kitchen

Flashify Sends Web Sites Between Android Browsers
Android: If a web page isn't rendering correctly in one of your Android browsers, normally you would need to copy the URL, go to your home screen, open a new browser, and paste the URL. Flashify removes all this friction by adding alternate browsers to Android's share menu.Android bafflingly doesn't include browsers in web pages' share menus, so Flashify essentially corrects this issue. Unfortunately, your installed browsers won't show up in the root of the share menu; you'll need to click the Flashify icon, and then select your desired browser, but this is still way faster than copying a URL and moving it over manually. Once you select a destination, your new browser will open and your page will load without any more friction.Flashify (Free) | Google Play via GhacksWednesday, September 11, 2013

The Difference Between Bits and Bytes, and Why It Matters
Ever sign up for internet that claimed 20 Mb per second, only to find that your files download at 2.5 MB per second? They aren't lying to you. Look closely and you'll see that those two figures use different units: megabits (Mb) and megabytes (MB). Here's what that means.Usually, we refer to file sizes and file transfer speeds in megabytes. Every once in a while, though—like when you're shopping for internet speeds or testing your speed on speedtest.net—you'll see it noted in megabits per second instead. One byte is made up of 8 bits, which means that you need to pay extra close attention to which unit you're using (which is especially confusing, since megabits is abbreviated "Mb" and megabytes is abbreviated "MB").The folks at Techquickie have a great video that explains it as fast as possible, so watch the above video if you're confused (or send it to a friend if they keep asking you why they aren't getting 20 megabyte per second download speeds). They also say you can divide your megabit figure by 10 to get a very rough (read: innacurate) estimate of the measurement in megabytes, but you could always divide by 8 (though that may require a calculator, or plugging it into Google) if you want to know the exact equivalent. Check out the video above to see more.Bits vs Bytes as Fast as Possible | Techquickie

Move Between Gmail's New Tabs with Keyboard Shortcuts
Gmail's new interface may be a bit controversial, but in traditional Gmail fashion, it's got a lot of shortcuts and tricks built-in. Here are a few you might want to know.Once you enable the new interface (that is, if you've decided to keep it), Gmail will actually try to "teach" you most of its shortcuts through popups as you navigate it for the first time. For example, you can change which tabs show up by clicking the plus sign, or you can drag and drop messages between tabs or right-click and choose "move to tab").What you may not have seen, though, are the new keyboard shortcuts:Go to the next tab with `Go to the previous tab with ~You can also access these new "Categories" from the sidebar, and filter messages into them from Gmail's Create Filter dialog. Hit the link below to see everything you can do with the new interface, courtesy of Google Operating System.Tips for Gmail's Tabs and Categories | Google Operating System
