LOST in the hazy memories of my youth is a vague recollection of buying vinyl records to play on our second-hand Pioneer turntable. The music store I frequented, now long gone, was called Carousel, and the thing I remembered most about this pleasant, air-conditioned haven was that it had a listening booth where you could check out the songs on an album before you bought it.

There is nothing illegal about peer-to-peer networks, and nothing illegal with using them to distribute files. What is illegal is to use these networks and associated software to download material which is protected by copyright. It is not always obvious what is still copyright protected, though you can be fairly certain that anything recent, such as recent chart hits or new computer games, cannot be legally copied using P2P software. Blockbuster films will also be copyright protected, but there are many films which have been specifically made for free distribution.

Whether you just got a new iPod or are an old-time user, there are always new things you will discover about that little gadget. Downloading video to your iPod is not as straight-forward for a newbie, and even those who have been using iPod for a while. Essentially, your iPod can support 2 video formats, H.264 video and MPEG-4 video. An important question many folks perhaps including you would ask ? so which one is better? On the surface, H.264 appears to be better than MPEG-4 because of the crystal clear picture quality. It also takes much lesser space than MPEG-4. This simply means that you can pack more videos and music into your iPod if you use this video format. There are some who would argue that both formats are equally excellent in terms of picture quality when the encoding is done at higher supported video settings.

A friend told me: "My computer startup seems to be taking a long time. And when the hard disk finally stops churning, everything just seems slower than when it was new. Can you suggest any maintenance tips to reduce the startup time and make Windows run faster?" I have this theory that sludge builds up inside a computer over time, much like an automobile engine. After a while, it doesn't start right up like when it was new, it stalls unexpectedly, and performance is sluggish on the (information) highway. Is there something like engine cleaner we can pour into our personal computer to restore that "like new" performance? Actually, yes!

Other phones just use plain ringtones, and are usually not customizable. Mobile phone manufacturers originally designed mobile phones with customizable ringtones so that you could easily tell if if it was your phone ringing when you're with a group of people. Things change though, and mobile phone ringtones are now much more than a convenience ? they are an art form, even a fashion statement (?I'm cooler than you 'cause my ringtone is cooler than yours...?).
