It’s New Years eve and my friends and I are debating: how many time zones are there on Earth? I say that there can’t be more than 24 time zones, but my buddy says there are more. Seems like that’d define how many times New Year is celebrated each year.
I got a great gift from my folks, an Apple iTunes gift card. Nice. And I have an iPod. What I don’t have is any clue how to redeem an iTunes gift card. Help!
One of the reasons I bought the Sony PSP was so I could listen to some of the radio broadcasts available via the Internet from Switzerland, where I grew up. Can you explain how I can do that?
I’ve written about this before, about how to connect your Sony PSP to the Internet, but I think it’s worth writing about again, detailing one of the most common questions people have with their Sony PSPs: how to connect them to the Internet.
Hi, I went on craigslist.com and saw that they were giving away a pool table. I emailed the guy and asked for some pictures and he sent me an email back saying that he had posted them on his blog and put the web address in there. I clicked on the address and it said that I had to install something to see the pictures, I did not, but I really wanted to see the pictures. I clicked it again but this time it took me to ask.com. Could he have just put the wrong web address or was he trying to give me a virus? Thank you
I just bought a slick ASUS Eee PC netbook, model 1000HA, and want to configure it to work with both Microsoft Windows XP, which is already installed, and Ubuntu or some other flavor of Linux. How can I do that without having to reinstall WinXP?
I just bought my son a new Sony Playstation Portable and every time he starts it up to play a game we see the error message “No Memory Stick Duo found. A Memory Stick Duo is needed to save game data”. What does it mean and why wasn’t it included with our PSP?
I don’t know what my daughter did, but suddenly the “My Computer” icon isn’t showing up on my Windows XP computer and I don’t know how to make it reappear! Without it, I can’t find my files, which is a huge problem. Help!
Hi Dave and Merry Christmas! I just got a new Nintendo Wii and am so, so psyched! Problem is, my folks gave me a coupon for a free game rather than giving me a couple of games. Which means I need to figure out what are the best video games for the Nintendo Wii. Can you help?
Is Santa Claus real, or just something us grownups invented to keep kids guessing about the presents they receive on Christmas morning? It’s a question that I wrote about on my blog a few years ago (see Is Santa Claus Real?) and since then have been delighted to receive literally hundreds of comments, almost all from children, talking about their own beliefs and their “proof” that Santa is or isn’t real.
I thought that in the spirit of Christmas it would be fun to just share some of the more amusing and poignant comments that have been added over the years.
