Where do you wear your play

Hi,
How does everyone out there carry their hard-dri've based player?
I'm curious because I've been told that even walking with it in your pant pocket may cause damage in the long run.
So I'd like to see what everyone out there does, especially you guys who have had a hard-dri've DPA for ages =)

subu: Creative recommend you don't use it when jogging, or for similar sports. Bear in mind that you're carrying around a mini hard dri've, which although more rugged than your typical PC hard dri've is still susceptible to shocks and impact.
I've used all my MP3 players though a lot, carrying them with me everywhere, and I've never had a problem. The only thing I would recommend is keeping them in a case to protect them and increase their longevity.

  • Question to all: Where do you purchase your images???

    Guys/Gals,
    Where do you purchase your images when needed? Both photos and vector Illustrations.
    I buy from istockphoto.com and bigstockphotos.com, but is there anything better according to your experience?
    I am currently buying a lot of illustrations (vector) - cartoonlike, at about $15 each... which do you buy from and which is the best?Considering the selection and prices.
    I always thought that free image sites didn't have a good selection, am I wrong?
    The question is brough up, everybody that reads this should answer and give their point of view, I am curious to see (and I am sure you are too).

    iStock is your best choice for selection and price, but not always quality or even accuracy. iStock is stocked by photographers and artists trying to make extra money. Their offerings are always more diverse than what you'd find on a pro stock photo site. Photographers left to produce imagery on their own will pursue their interests and what they're good at, and that's why you'll find a lot of great stuff on iStock you won't find anywhere else. Sites like photos.com don't compare with this, but may have better visual quality. But, again, the number of "concepts" are limited. If you move above sites like iStock and photos.com then be prepared to dish out big money.
    iStock can be a godsend, but be careful. I often find many photographers will upsize their images at the cost of a loss of quality. I also find photographers who try to make their images better by touching them up with Photoshop, but many of them should just stick with staying behind the camera. I see images where areas were obviously cloned sloppily. Just make sure when selecting an image to zoom in and look at the quality and to check for the sloppy fixes.
    And be very careful when searching for something which you are not knowledgeable on. One time I was searching for Japanese imagery and found a photo labeled "Geisha". This "geisha" was a western girl in the proper make-up and hair... but she was wearing a Chinese dress! You do NOT want to embarrass your clients with something like that.
    Bottom line IMO, iStock is the way to go.

  • Zen Nano Plus Guys: Where Do You Get Your Mus

    I get mine off Limewire and I was basically told that it wouldn't work AFTER I purchased my brand new Nano Plus by the customer support guy. Where do you get your files from?

    I just got my Nano yesterday.. 4/29
    This is what I do:
    .Download the songs on Limewire
    2.Under the Library Tab on Limewire there is a button called "Explore". click on that.
    3. All of the songs that you have downloaded should show up when the folder pops up
    4. Open the Windows Media Player (if you dont have it u should get it) and go to the tab that says "Sync"
    5. Drag the files one-by-one onto "Items to Synchronize" on the Windows Media Player
    6. Once you are done, press "Start Sync" at the top.. it should work
    Now.. the only problem Im having is how to listen to all of my files. Ive downloaded 65 songs on here and its only playing 32 of them.

  • Where do you locate your location on the iPad?

    Where can you check your location on the iPad?

    I'm not sure what your asking but, I use a app called magic piano and when it shares my performance it states that my location is in Australia instead of United States ..
    When I updated my iPad my profile pic and location no longer is correct.
    So I'm trying to fix that and unsure how or why but would like to correct it..
    Thnx. ;)

  • Where do you get your images?

    I have accounts with several different stock image online
    companies. But things are getting very expensive.
    I was wondering if there was a website that offers free
    images. I'm also curious, where do you get your images?
    I can grab my digital camera, take a few pictures and edit
    with photoshop but thats not always the case.
    When you design a web page, where do you get your images?
    Thaks for any suggestions.

  • Where do you buy your apps?

    Where do you buy your apps for the iphone? Right on the phone? Can you buy them online if you have an itunes gift card? 

    There are two ways of downloading apps on the iPhone, you can either download them directly from the iPhone using the App Store app, or from iTunes on the computer (Mac or PC), an iTunes gift card can be used on either
    iPhone:  Open the App Store app (should be an app with a blue icon on the first page if apps, unless you moved it elsewhere), tap on "Featured" on the bottom black bar, then scroll all the way down, you should then see two options, Redeem and Apple ID: <your Apple ID>, tap on Redeem, type in your iTunes gift card code, then tap Redeem, once the card is redeemed, you can then start searching for apps within the App Store app
    iTunes (Mac or PC):  Open iTunes and connect the iPhone (let it complete sync), click on iTunes Store on the left pane, then in the Quick Links pane, click Redeem, type in your iTunes gift card code, then click Redeem, once the card is redeemed, in the iTunes STORE pane to the left, click App Store, then you should get similar options to the App Store on the iPhone, download the apps from there and sync them to the iPhone

  • Where do you store your remote?

    OK - I admit - I've had my MBP for less than three days and I've already lost my remote control (it must be around here somewhere - I've just no idea where). When I finally get a bag for my computer (and after I FIND the remote - if I find my remote) I'll just store it in my bag. But for now I have a simple (and tight) sleeve: nowhere to store the remote (unless it will fit in the ExpressCard slot?).
    I'm beginning to think Velcro may do the trick - anyone else had a remote go missing and, if not, where are you keeping it so that it will be handy?

    I found it! I had tossed it in one of the compartments of my old PowerBook case... and I'm leaving it there until my new backpack for my MBP...
    ...as to the usefulness of the remote on a 15" screen, I see it more as a novelty when, for instance, you're sitting at the airport, your favorite hotspot, etc., and someone becomes interested in the photos of your vacation snaps. But I did note, looking at the Dell site at their 1.6" thick Intel Core Duo laptops, that they sell a remote for use with the XP media center OS. And, boy, not only is the computer big and ugly, so is the remote!

  • Where do you get your GNU/Linux news?

    Hi guys. Just a quick question/discussion. Did a search, but it came up with no good results.
    Where do you guys get your daily fix for Linux news, for everything new and exciting in the Linux world?
    I'm still fairly new to Linux. First used it back around Ubuntu 8.10, but then switched back to Windows within a few weeks. Then got back into it around the beginning of this year with 10.04. Before eventually moving to Sabayon for quite a fair bit of time then just recently trying out Arch, and loving it.
    As an Ubuntu user originally, I like to check out the articles on OMGUbuntu for news and info on new applications, or changes, being developed and also DistroWatch for news on new distributions or updates. I also like to read the occasional Linux article on Gizmodo or Lifehacker that they sometimes feature.
    Anyway, where do you like to get your news?

    By and large, I get online news by subscribing to RSS feeds (--I use Google Reader to aggregate them, but there are other options too--), not through normal web pages. If it weren't for RSS, there's no way I'd have time to visit all the webpages I'd want to visit every day. Indeed, I mainly become aware of new posts in these forums through its RSS feed.
    Anyway, here are some broadly linux-related RSS feeds I subscribe to. Most of them have associated webpages too. (Thank goodness I can just export a list from Google Reader or I'd never remember them all...)

  • Where Did You Get Your MacBook?

    For those that have a MacBook, where did you purchase it from? Even with the student discount, purchasing from the Apple store doesn't provide any savings because of the taxes (~$84.00 in NY). I know Amazon.com sells it, but it's pre-order.
      Mac OS X (10.4.6)  
      Mac OS X (10.4.6)  

    No need to get defensive. I wasn't saying that people shouldn't use the Apple Store. I was saying that unless Apple recognises your problems as problems, they will not do anything for you. That is to say, issues such as heat, whine and other common issues people worry about here on this forum will not be addressed by the Apple Store geniuses because they don't consider these problems out of specifications. This also means that if you have these issues and decide you can't live with them,you most probably will not be able to return a macbook of MBP to them without a restocking fee.
    Believe me, I was amazed that they were so unwilling to consider not charging me a restocking fee. I was very calm, told them about the issues (whine, heat, loose battery, warped lid) and told them that over the past 15 years as an Apple user I have never felt disappointed with an Apple product except for this one. I told them that I have purchased items for tens of thousands of dollars from Apple over the years and asked them if they would at least consider charging me just half the restocking fee given that these are problems SO MANY people are having. There are OBVIOUSLY issues with the MBPs. The guy (who claimed to be the 'lead' rep there) refused and told me, in the same breath, how much they 'love' my business, pointing me in the direction of the checkout so I could line up to get refund, minus the $200 fee for beta testing. How insulting and disingenuous is that!
    There are stores that will accept your claim that an item is defective. Since Apple is the mothership they decide what is within spec while some other stores just trust you when you say your notebook has excessive heat problems or whines and therefore needs to be returned. Given the many problems reported, I would recommend anybody to buy from a store with a more generous and no hassle return policy. Getting an exchange will not help if all units have the same problems....
