How do you clean the fan in a laptop? My laptop keeps shutting off on me because it gets to hot.

I do not understand why Microsoft do this to us, i think Microsoft find it not imported that many customer in the world use an other webbrowser than Internet Explorer! If Firefox 4 is support XP, can we better go back to Mozilla! Microsoft is now doing wrong to many people in the world that using a old Windows XP operatingsystem, its egoistic for microsoft to make Internet Explorer 9 only for Windows Vista and Windows 7!

Comment on Transfer VHS tapes to DV by Tim

I have purchased this converter but have run into quality problems with the transferred video being choppy and grainy. Possibly my PC is not up to the challenge.

The PC has an Intel Celeron CPU 1300 MHz, with 1.30 GHZ and 512 MB of RAM.

Any ideas?

Comment on Loaded iPad is as expensive as a notebook by david

yeah but you MADE it expensive. You could've bought it bare-bones, but you maxed it, bought additionals, etc. A notebook is expensive in it's own right without all the fruit.

Really, there's already too much information about you on the internet, the last thing you want to do is publicly announce your every move, unless you have a seminar or meeting scheduled why really let people know every corner or every store that your in, technology is good, but it can has bad advantages…

Brian – Did you ever get a response? I am having the same problem. It deletes it off my email on my iphone, but it doesn't delete it from my comcast account so I end up deleting everything twice. I would love to fix this problem

I thnik a "general" location is okay – I'm playing with it now on tweetdeck. It's kind of interesting to see what people around you are tweeting. But I am also not one to tweet every single thing I do. Tweetdeck has a feature that allows me to set the amount of "slack" or "tolorance" for my exact location, which is set to 100 meters. So in my neighborhood that can be any one of a dozen houses. But also key is I do not use my full name, or generally share any personal information. Location or not, people still need to be careful about what they share.

In a College town I've seen foursqare used by the sites that people check into as a way to provide discounts and freebies. I'm wary of that feature as being particularly useful to a business owner because I can check into 5 different restaurants while sitting in my office at work. There has to be some verification technique if prizes are given away, Like showing the waitress your Foursquare App when ordering

Until I figure out why I'm interested I haven't connected my foursquare identity with facebook or twitter
