    iPod Touch

    Well, my 4-years-old 4th Generation iPod scroll wheel no longer work. The music can still be played and the other buttons work, but can't scroll...which almost makes it useless. So it's time to get a new player and I always wanted the Touch. My understanding is that if you have the Touch...

    How to automatically play DVD folder in Vista Media Center

    I have my DVD collection copy to my hard drive this way: each movie has its own folder and inside that folder I just copied the DVD?s VIDEO_TS and AUDIO_TS folders and files. So they?re basically the same structure as regular DVD, but just reside on the hard drive. With this method, Windows...

    DualShock 3 Problem

    I just got the new DualShock 3 controller today. There weren't any instruction to "pair" the it to the PS3 (I'm used to doing that with my 360), so I just plug it in to the PS3 usb port and charged it up. Afterward, I unplugged it and the PS3 recognized the new controller just fine...

    My 3rd RRoD

    I'm not even mad, because I fully expected this to happen sooner or later, and pleasantly surprised that this one lasted 8 months. My first 360 RRoD 13 months after purchased, and I was so pissed because it died just after one month that the warranty had expired. So I paid MS $140 to get it...

    $60 Games

    I don?t know about you guys, but I still can?t accept paying $60 for PS3 and Xbox 360 games. Last generation, if I wanted a game, I would go to a B&M retailer and buy it on launch day. But now, every game I own for PS3 and 360 are bought from eBay two weeks to a month after released. I...

    Got your refund?

    My 360 suffered the RROD back in April and it was out of warranty back then so I had to pay the $140 to get it fixed. Well, it?s been a while now since MS announced their expanded warranty for RROD issues. So, for people who previously paid to have their RROD console fixed, did you get your...

    Farewell Comcast

    Been a loyal customer of Comcast for over a decade (television and cable internet), so I didn?t mind the high prices. However, their handling of a problem (their On-Demand services fail me 99% of the time) was so inept that I decided it was time to move on. For television, I got Dish Network...

    So I canceled my WoW account...

    The game didn?t ruin my life and I don?t have contempt for it like many people do ? because they let the addiction consumed them. I quit because I only played it a couple days a week for few hours a day and couldn?t justify spending $15 a month on it. And when I did play, I spent all my...

However, the "1394 Connection" that is suppose to automatically appear in the Network Connection folder if you have firewire ports is not there for my...
