As the title says... I'm looking for a Chrome extension so when I click on a Youtube channel's name... it takes me directly to their full list of videos instead of their landing page. For instance... when clicking on a channel's name... I want to go to...

I've got a 2TB WD Green drive as an archive drive... and I backup that to another 2TB drive in an external enclosure. I'm getting ready to buy a pair of 4TB hard drives to replace the pair of 2TB hard drives... which means a lot of data to copy at once. Is there a special way or best way...

I cut music for a few dance studios... and I make CDs for them to take to dance competitions. My question is about volume and levels. Mostly I just take a song and cut it shorter and don't mess with its volume. But even if I edit together multiple songs... I still make sure all the volumes...

I was browsing Adorama and I found something interesting... they are still asking $600 for a Nikon D90 body. That camera came out over 4.5 years ago. You can now find the D5100 body for $500... and it's only 2 years old. From what I can tell... the D5100 is a more capable camera by today's...

I'm part of an organization and we periodically have ballots that we send out to our members for voting. In the past we've told people to download a PDF from our website, print it out, fill it out by hand, and mail it back to us. But this is no longer acceptable in this day and age! So I...

My iPhone is suddenly terrible at downloading app store updates. I sometime have to flick airplane mode on and off... or completely power it off and on. My friends' iPhones have no problem at all! Help!

I'll be getting my first iPhone soon! When it arrives I'll take it to the Verizon store and get all my phone numbers transferred from my old Blackberry to my new iPhone. That will take care of my phone numbers. As for my email contacts... they are all in GMail. I want to make one good...

I work for a dance studio. We have a cable modem with a built-in 4 port switch. (not wireless) 3 of the ethernet ports are currently in use... 2 desktop computers and a DVR security camera system. The DVR system requires a static IP address for remote monitoring. We have been assigned 5...

I had the pleasure of using a 20" 1600x1200 monitor at an office the other day. Wow! I forgot how much more you can see on a 4:3 monitor. I'm seriously considering trying to find a 4:3 monitor for myself. I'm growing rather tired of the narrow view of a 16:9 monitor. People say 16:9 is...

I create DVDs... and I like to test them on the computer before I burn them. Some of my DVDs have an opening clip before the main menu. When I use VLC to play a VIDEO_TS folder... it skips the opening clip and goes straight to the main menu. If I do the same thing with CyberLink PowerDVD or...

I'm looking for a fast 8GB SD card. I've got my eye on the Sandisk Extreme 8GB Class 10 SDHC card. But, Amazon lists 2 different model numbers: SDSDX3-008G-A31 - Link 1 SDSDX3-008G-P31 - Link 2 Both are listed as Class 10, 30MB/s BUT, if you Google those model numbers... sometimes a site...

I have a Sandisk Ultra II 4GB SDHC card for my Nikon D60. When I transfer my pictures using a Sandisk USB 2.0 card reader, I clocked it at about 17MB/s... which is faster than the card's rated speed of 15MB/s. Excellent! What I'm curious about is the claims of 30MB/s with the new Sandisk...

I use Filezilla. It's great. However... When I upload a file, it transfers 100% in no time at all. But... the file hangs out in the queue for about 5 seconds before completing... and the log finally reads "File transfer successful" and "Directory listing successful" Is there a problem with...

I use a laptop that only has 3 USB ports... and I like using a corded mouse and an external hard drive that takes up the other 2 ports. Since a USB Y-cable provides more power... could I use that to hook into the hub? I want to hook one of these...

Is XMarks better than Delicious? Other threads seem to have many fans of XMarks. I use Delicious for sites I find and need to remember later... not everyday stuff. For instance, if I find a cool article about CSS... I tag it with "CSS" and "websites" and I can find it later in my Delicious...

It's agreed that if you sell a computer or a bare hard drive, you are supposed to erase everything, and zero it out or whatever... so no one can recover your personal data. But what if your hard drive dies... and you have to RMA it back to the manufacturer? You won't have the chance to erase...

I just built a system with an Intel Quad Q8300 and an Asus P5Q-E. The CPU is rated at 2.5GHz. But both Asus AI-Suite and CPU-Z are saying my CPU is running at 2.0GHz. Huh? Do I need to overclock just to get my CPU running at "normal" speed?

I ran a SpeedTest at my parent's house... this is what I found: Is that normal? I was helping my mom upload a video to her Facebook page... and it seemed slow. Now I know why! Should I call tech support?

I cut music for dance studios. Quite often, I need to make CDs for the kids to practice to. I like to have their song at different speeds on the CD so they can learn. But I have to manually make different versions of the same song at different speeds. (it's not difficult... I just wanna...

Does anyone make something like this? There could be different ones for different laptop brands and plug types. Or is Apple's patent too deep?

First... I ordered a WD 640GB drive from ZipZoomFly. I formatted it but when I started copying files to it... it failed. I ran WD Diagnostics and it said: So, it's RMA time for that drive. But, I desperately needed a new drive to work on some video projects this week, so I went to Best Buy and...

I've bought 2 KVM switches now... one IOGear from Best Buy and another one from Monoprice. The IOGear took like 10-20 seconds to switch, and sometimes it took a reboot or unplugging it to get the screen to come up. It was frustrating... not knowing if it switched or not! I bought the one...

My mom had her heart set on a Canon Powershot SX10 IS... after using my sister's old Canon S3 at a family reunion. She didn't want a DSLR... she thought an advanced point-n-shoot would be fine for her. After finally tracking down a Canon SX10 at an area Best Buy... I walked her over to the...

A lady I know has the original Digital Rebel. It has the 18-55mm kit lens, but the battery is shot, and I'm not sure if it still has the charger or anything else. She just got a new Nikon D60 for Christmas. What should I offer for her old Rebel, or is it even worth it anymore?

When I use Google Docs in Firefox, the interface is messed up. However, in every other browser, it's fine. Any ideas?

I'm having trouble when burning CDs in iTunes on Windows XP SP3 with iTunes 7.7 It takes a very long time to get through the "Preparing Disc" stage when burning a disc. But this only seems to happens when burning Purchased tracks. It will eventually burn, after preparing the disc for 20...

My mom likes to print pictures from her forums. She uses Firefox, right-clicks and View Image. Then when she goes to print that single image, Firefox thinks there are 2 pages, and prints an extra page, even though the image can clearly fit on one page. Any ideas?

Is there any way to remove some of the file types from the Photoshop Save As dropdown box? I will probably never save a file into Dicom, PCX, PICT, Pixar, SCT, Targa etc... and I'd like to remove those choices from the menu if possible. Thanks!

Since a 32-bit Windows OS cannot see all 4GB of installed RAM... if you had 4GB installed and set a 1GB RAMDisk, would windows see the remaining 3GB fully? Or would you still lose some like normal?

I bought 3 sticks of 512mb PC133 memory for an old Gateway. All 3 sticks work... but not all 3 together. The computer is supposed to handle a max of 1536mb. The computer works fine when 1 or 2 sticks are installed, but when I put the third stick in, Windows hangs at the welcome screen, or the...

Is there a way to update podcasts in the background? iTunes has the option to "check for new episodes every hour" but I don't wanna keep iTunes open 24 hours a day. I was hoping for some little background service that could do it. I only open iTunes every few days.. then have a flood of 9...

A long time ago... before Youtube... I had a bunch of WMV clips on one of my websites. Those files are long gone... but something is still trying to access them and I get a couple dozen errors in my error log. I have the IP address, and when I resolved it, it looks like it's a spam bot or...

Is there any way to prevent Google Calendar from showing the previous and next month's days in the month view? Sometimes it's confusing if you're looking at one month, and you see stuff that's really in the next month. I'd just like to see the current month... and leave out those extra days.

GoDaddy has plans that let you host "unlimited web sites" under one account for one price. Does anyone have experience with this? Or any other hosts that let you host multiple sites? Right now I have 6 different sites with TotalChoice Hosting. Each site has its own plan for roughly $4 a...

How do you get Google to list links like this in the results?

Let's say I'm in the middle of a long page in Firefox, then I click a link. Now I'm on the new page. When I click the back button, it goes back to the top of the previous page... THEN jumps down to the middle where I was on that page. Does anyone know why this happens? If I use IE, when I...

I wish they would make hard drive camcorders that had the option to record regular DV into standard AVI files. None of this MPEG4 or AVCHD crap. I still record standard definition MiniDV, to make regular DVDs. But I don't wanna buy a Firestore or some other expensive add-on hard drive...

I love how you can select something in Firefox and right-click to "Search Google for..." Is there an add-on for Firefox that lets you select an unlinked URL and "Goto this address...?" Lots of times there in an address in a blog post or website that isn't linked. So I have to select it...

I work for a theme park as an entertainer. All of our stage shows use Minidiscs for audio playback. Recently, one of our Minidisc decks died, and our entertainment director is already looking for the next big thing. The Minidisc concept works well for us; they don't skip, you can name the...

Whenever I watch videos on Youtube, sometimes the buffer line only moves a little at a time. BUT, when I move my mouse, the buffer line moves a lot, and the video buffers fast. What the hell? Does this happen to anyone else? I'm using Firefox.
