CDN Sync tool is not great. It doesn’t allow you to set a persistent set of extra folders in a list to sync. So if you have multiple galleries in nextgen gallery you have to continually update them as you edit them. It also doesn’t appear to have an option to copy all folders under a given folder which would be really useful.

Comment on Remove iTunes Duplicates by Petter Fjelstad

I would also say use a third-party tool to remove iTunes duplicates.

The one linked above is currently free.

You can do the steps above without a backup.

I also think there might be an app or two you can buy to do the same thing. I'm a giant cheapskate, so prefer to do things the cheapest way possible.

Having to backup my iTunes library before I get rid of my duplicate tracks sounds one of those bulky iTunes operations we as iTunes users are required to live with in order to keep up our libraries.

Is there a simpler one- or two-step way in order to effectively get rid of iTunes duplicates?

Comment on The Problem with GoDaddy by Don Burnside

I think the domain protection is nothing more than a service that everyone else charges for, and that's keeping the records hidden from Whois look-ups (donburnside.com at who.is). That is on a button that can be turned on and off whenever I like. Same goes for transfer lock, can be on or off at anytime. Not only that, but the transfer auth code is readily available without having to wait for an email.

This domain has been with hover for almost 6 months and even with the latest spike in registrations, I've not had any trouble either access my account at hover or with the sites.

That's about the truth of it with GoDaddy.

I'm with Network Solutions today, and they're pricy. Solid DNS support, but they're getting a little heavy handed in the upsell pitch for how much they charge. I have my own hesitations on following everyone else to Hover. Hover's built-in "domain protection" means they're the owner of record, according to the ICANN rules. This means if there's ever a dispute, you don't own your domain. Let me know if you see a way in their system to turn that off.

Aside from being white and obvious, the fit really is awful. In order to make them useful, I applied a packet of Sugru and formed a blob of the stuff to hold it in my ear. Sort of a DIY custom molded ear piece. It’s not perfect, but at least I can use the headset, now.

I have yet to use the white ear buds since they fall out of my ears. I'm using a set I picked up from Fry's electronics (forgot the brand) that will work for me, for now.

I personally think that's a cool feature. I was all, "whoa", and my phone was all "I know, right?" and I was all "whoa" again.

I was going to say what blalor said. There was the typical (knee) jerk reaction when a chip was discovered in the headset. All sorts of speculation that Apple’s walled garden was going to lock you into just using the white ear buds when actually it was to enable a neat feature that normal people actually appreciate!
