Try installing Tweak-XP on your system. It is a handy little program, that among many things allows you to disable autorun on the CD/DVD drives. There also also other options, but I hesitate to mention them for fear of violating forums rules Let's just say they are CD and DVD "back up" solutions

I have a Lajo ExoFLP flatback. Does its job well and I can use all the controls with the case on

As was widely expected, new iPods have been released. iPod photo - with color screen U2 iPod - black front and red scroll wheel Personally, being a 4g owner, the only thing that stands out for me is 15 hour battery life and color screen on the iPod photo. But is is worth the extra $100...

Seems too good to be true. Notice that the seller only accepts money orders. I would be a bit more comfortable if s/he accepted at least PayPal. I personally would not go for it. The Staples deal that get's you an iPod HP for $200 would be a better option.

That's assuming you are not already an owner of an iPod. Personally I like the plain white look - some people liken it to a sanitized effect, I feel more like a pure feeling

If you live in the U.S., there are a lot more places where you can purchase the HD580s, and can get a good price, as low as $150. But the A900s are only available at one place for U.S. buyers, and I believe they are not returnable if you want to make a return.

Adding all those functions in to one device will most likely lead to a complicated user interface. The biggest reason I like the iPod so much is the easy to use interface of the scroll wheel. Adding phone and PDA function will most likely require a keyboard or keypad of some sort and/or a touch...

After 50-odd hours of listening, my 595s are sounding like they are starting to break in. And what I hear is absolutely wonderful. Or terrible depedning on ones perspective. Wonderful because all the music, movies and games sound so lush and alive. When I listen through the headphones, I feel...

I am not a technical expert so do not know what you guys are talking about with these battery adapters and all. But I ordered my GoVibe with a built-in DC jack for a $10 upgrade. No I can run it off a 12v wall wart at home and off the 9v battery when I am up and about.
