How To Open More Than Nine Browser Tabs And Stay Sane And Efficient
Lifehacker Australia editor Angus Kidman recently wrote a post on why you should never have more than nine browser tabs open. That proved quite controversial when it ran on the Lifehacker US site.

That’s an unproductive and pointless practice and everyone should stop it immediately.
