I sometimes experienced that lifehacker.com or gizmodo.com do redirection automatically to lifehacker.jp or gizmodo.jp. Possibly that the website is either checking the ip address of the user or the browser's local language setting. This auto redirection is quite annoying when accessing the page from google search result, because instead of showing the correct page, it shows the front page of the Japanese version. To solve this annoying redirection, add subdomain "us." in front of the url of lifehacker.com or gizmodo.com page.
For example, if the original URL is:
http://lifehacker.com/5799574/top-10-fixes-for-the-webs-most-annoying-problems
it will become:
http://us.lifehacker.com/5799574/top-10-fixes-for-the-webs-most-annoying-problems
Once the us.lifehacker.com is loaded, it will stay in the English version although we omit the subdomain "us." until we delete the cookies.
That's all :)
Update 2013/4/30:
