Media Player keeps filling up my USB drive with music
This is a real pain. Whenever I plug my USB drive into my PC it automatically 'syncs' with Windows Media Player and loads itself up with music.

Empty Epson Cartridges
I wasn't sure where to post this. Simple question: What is the best thing to do with empty Epson ink cartridges. Is there any value in them? Should I hold on to them myself for future refilling (might be a while as I don't go thru ink that quick), or will they dry up and become unusable? Any advice? TIA

Sharing itunes library within house
Hi all, My son has his own laptop and we have enabled the 'sharing' facility on itunes so that he can access my itunes library on my laptop.

Ipod Touch video playback
One of the biggest things stopping me buying an ipod touch is the fact that you cannot download content from BBC iplayer unless you stream it. 1) Is there any legal way of doing this via any software? 2) Do you think this will change in the future? 3) Is there any way that i can download my DVD's to Ipod touch?
