Even if it is not a crime, it doesn't make it morally right to steal someone else's bandwidth (perhaps its different in the US, but here in the UK most ISPs have a max download lim…

Just a theory about the wireless option in the MS Zune. I think Microsoft will use the wireless feature to create a “music” version of the mini networks that allow teenagers to se…

I have some music videos on my computer from friends memory cards (PSP's and such), and my brand new iPod doesnt want to play them. So i converted them to the iPod format (whateve…

Try iSquint for converting the videos. If you're running Windows, check iLounge.com for equivalent (and hopefully also free) software.

i do run windows, and most of the stuff ive looked at isnt free. I looked on iLounge and there was only one program for Windows, which wasnt free either but it said it was just so…
