@LastVigilante: Erk. Yeah... who doesn't read directions? Me! I just went back and re-read the paragraph that said "you should restore your iPhone or iPod touch to the latest factory firmware (1.1.4) before continuing. When you restore, tell iTunes that want to set up the restored iPhone as a new phone" Well, I only…

@bdawg923: @bdawg923: Actually, I just used this to jailbreak my 8gb iPod Touch, and all of my music, movies, contacts, bookmarks... everything remained perfectly intact. This was my first jailbreak, so I can't guarantee the same results, but I didn't do anything different then instructed. Before this I was running…

I'm a jailbreak n00b and just did a first-time jailbreak of my 8gb iPod Touch and it was surprisingly easy. Unfortunately, though, it seems that the "Customize" app is not availiable for 1.1.3 or 1.1.4, so I am unable to remove the ZiPhone web clip icon, which is somewhat annoying... Unless anyone has any other…

Isn't this kinda like the "If you had a million dollars, what would you do?" question, a-la the movie Office Space? Heck, who would choose to be a janitor? Actually, I take that back, after watching so many episodes of Dirty Jobs, I'd say I could enjoy 90% of those careers more than my own.

@RubberduckGrrl: Mmmm. Re-Goo.

@schwnj: Thats what I was going to ask. I'm sure I could easily figure out the jack assembly, its the routing of new wires that twists my noodle. The 2-story house I live in only has 2 phone jacks, and they're as far away from my room as possible. Also, we only have one cable jack, once again, downstairs on the…

My problem with Sky, on the web and in Google Earth, is that there is no horizion based on your "viewing location." It's very easy to get all turned around and unknowingly end up looking at Australia's sky.

Honestly, I'm a non-coffee drinker who would like to be a coffee drinker (though, probably not an addict)! All the nifty gadgets and flavors and skills required to brew a cup o' joe really fascinate me. Plus, if you drink coffee then you're considered "cool" right?! :)

I have a TV and computer in my bedroom, which understandably is a direct result of me living at home, thus, the only place to put my TV and my computer is in my room. The TV isn't hooked up to cable, because the only cable plug is downstairs, so the majority of my TV watching happens down there. When I move out, I…

I realize I'm a little late to this party, but Dapper seems to be putting up a fight with me. I'm continuing to Step 3: Select Content but then the whole thing boggs down until Firefox gives me the Unresponsive Script error. I'm trying Feed43 but, like others have mentioned, its confusing as hell and isn't presenting…

Does anyone know any good programs to do screen recording, then output to a video file that is burnable to a DVD for playback on a DVD player + TV? At work we get clients all the time asking us to do this to demo their new websites at trade shows, and in the past we have used BB Flashback to some success, but the…

My phone, a Motorola v323, already has this feature built-in, called Ring then Vibe. Thats how I've got it set up, along with my custom ringtone (thanks to the LH walkthrough) featuring a medley of Homer Simpson going "D'oh! D'oh! D'oh! D'oh!"

I want The Adjustable Desk, as featured as an entry in LH Coolest Workspace Contest. You know, the one that you can raise and lower between a sitting and standing workstation position. To my understanding it was Ikea, but blasted be that they no longer sell it! I'm going to be looking high and low for one for myself,…

Are there any dead pixel finders out there? I know for a fact that I found one on my monitor a few years ago, but now I can't find it to give this a try.

I've just tried PTM for a few days, and it provides pretty good information, but the application tracking feature seems is a minimal part of the program. The main source of data comes from the program nagging you every 10-minutes (by default) with a little taskbar popup, asking what your current task is:

Working for a small employer (only 3 full-time people) I find it harder to unexpectedly call-in sick. Especially since nobody else in the office can perform the tasks that I can do. My boss always says "If you're sick we don't want you here!" but the story easily changes around a hot deadline. At the very least I'll…

How secure is Google Docs? For instance, I'd love to start using this to collaborate on spreadsheets with my coworkers, but some of these spreadsheets include client password information, would it be safe to upload these?

@Blah8: Jinks!

I was into doing pushups for a while every morning, I was able to peak at about 3 sets of 30. Of course, I got lazy and haven't done it in six months, so I'm back at square one.
