Q: I just purchased an Apple iPod Shuffle (2nd generation), and when I try to load music on it from the iTunes Store it shows that it copied, but the iPod device doesn’t recognize any music stored. There were bare minimal instructions that came with the iPod, and I’m going crazy wrestling with this thing and my computer just to get even an audio CD loaded on it. HELP! A: One of the drawbacks with the iPod Shuffle is that it doesn’t have any display screen. This can sometimes make it difficult to know whether your music was copied correctly.… Continue reading...

Every once in a while I come across a web site that really tickles my fancy. Today, I discovered Jott, a web site that boasts voice-powered, hands-free Messaging and To Do Lists. Here’s how Jott works. You create a free account which includes entering your cell phone number. Jott then sends a quick verification text message to your cell phone and asks you to call a toll-free number to complete the account setup process. Why the cell phone verification? Because it’s the brains behind Jott. Ever been out and about and a thought hits you that you know you will… Continue reading...
