As part of the exercise in frustration that applying the Invisible Shield was, I ended up with a crack in the glass screen of my Zune 80 Apparently the Zune pad is somehow connected with the glass inside the case, because when I applied a little too much pressure on it to smooth out air...

Well after two registry edits and hours of working with the frustration known as Zune software, I finally got it to work And after another countless hours getting my album art tags just right, I am ready to rock So, what do most Zune users prefer to convert their lossless files to (I use...

OK, so after scouring Google in vain, I thought I might try here about a strange problem which has cropped up. I'm using Win XP, and suddenly, no video file of any type, using any player will output sound anymore! Audio by itself works just fine using only foobar to play mp3, FLAC etc, but I...

The sound quality is marginal at best, but for those who might be interested, you can stream it here . My personally recommended not-to-be-missed band: Satellite Party with Perry Farrell (ex-Jane's Addiction), Nuno Bettencourt (ex-Extreme) and Tony Kanal (No Doubt). Nuno rocks! Also...

This band is awesome... Final Countdown

Yeah, after a particularly stressful day, at a traffic light I was waiting behind this huge tanker, when I inadvertantly fell asleep and my foot slid of the brake. Only realized what had happened when i heard the sound of my hood scrape under the huge rear iron fender of the tanker. Crap, my...

I've seen some patents filed for ridiculous "inventions", but this takes the cake! All you need is a laser pointer...

A quick question for the tech gurus... I just installed a new 160 GB HDD as Slave in my stock Dell (P4 2.66), with the Master drive being the 80 GB Maxtor that the PC came with. There's a problem transfering data from the old drive to the new one; it's taxing my CPU almost 100% constantly...

I was alerted by a friend to this webpage which mentions not only my name but full address as well: http://neighbor3from3hell.home.att.net/ At the risk of further loss of privacy, I though I would post this here to see if anyone has any suggestions/comments. Members who came over to my place...

Just wondering if any Head-Fiers plan on catching the summer tour...I'm especially interested in knowing if any L.A folks plan on seeing them at Staples Center. Yeah, I agree, it's not the same without DLR, yada yada, but this will be the first time I will get to see Eddie Van Halen, a legend...

Happy Birthday, Stuart! Hope you have a great day! - Vikram

[begin rant]Well my SR-225s with flats arrived yesterday, but they're still not in my hands. Unfortunately it was a new UPS guy who didn't know the gate code and didn't bother buzzing the manager, with whom the usual UPS guy leaves all my packages. So, today I leave a post-it at my security gate...

Alright, I just got back from a mini-meet at Iron_Dreamer's place. The main reason that I went was to compare how the AKG K240 Studio 'phones that I own stack up against their closed cousin, the K271. Ed brought his Grace, K1000s and HD600s, although I won't be talking much about those here. We...

Fans of great guitar playing, you have to check this out. It's hard trying to keep a straight face while watching this guy play, but boy, does he have the chops. He uses an eight-finger tapping style a la Stanley Jordan: http://www.adam.fulara.com/a/video/A...ra-BWV_848.avi You need a codec...

I have a pair of Sony MDR-V6's and I managed to accidentally bend the mini plug and now it doesn't make decent contact anymore. I contacted Sony about having the plug replaced and they quoted $45 for the job, which is outrageous considering I bought the cans for $60. I searched the Sony website...
