Simey, I think the hardcore liberals are fighting shy of the original post because they know the positions they hold on terrorism are poorly developed at best.

What a lame argument Nicko. The topic at hand isn't whether or not Bush should invade the New York Times for reporting a scandal. The question at hand is why the New York Times p…

Does anyone know if theres a way to manage the folders on your iPod? Specifically the music and video folders. I uploaded all of my music and for some reason, I have duplicate fo…

I've had the same problem on my nano with multiple folders for the same artist. I'm not sure how to compile them. It's a bit annoying. Any help would be appreciated!

There are no folders for music on the iPod -- not in the traditional sense. Your music is organized entirely by its ID3 tags. So if you have several entries for one artist, they mu…

Linux?

The only thing I could suggest is an external speaker. If you are using it to wake up in the morning they have an iPod pillow with a speaker in it (the whole iPod goes right inside…
