Another Brick in the Wall
iMav, jamesbond007 - I've an idea. There are so many US resident members in our forum. We can pay $15 (or whatever amount card you want to buy) via Paypal and ask them to buy us a iTunes Gift Card. It's possible right?
Another Query:
I went to Ritchie Street (One stop hardware, electronics and IT area in Chennai) regarding to buy the iPod AC charger. He showed me two models:
1. Only the plug socket and I can plugin the USB Cable from the iPod directly. Costs Rs 125
2. Another one has that wire right upto the docking/charging base of the iPod. Costs Rs 175
Which one is better? I'm going there again and going to buy. Please advice.

in this case i will have to pay up
i hope u get the point im not sure about the non-apple usb charger and the fact that its cheaper than a normal adapter; but 125 as compared to apple's 3k not sure what it might do ur ipod but u certainly can buy 3-4 of these if they develop a flaw
I didnt know there were other cheap chargers available when I bought the iPod or infact I didnt trust them ..I didnt mind spending 1200+ to buy apple iPod charger.. cause I dont want some cheap 200 bucks charger to blow up my 15K ipod. . the charger is compact and its US Plug fits into our wall socket perfectly

Okay now last thing. $15 gift card means the balance remains $15 forever as long as I dont buy anything and download only free stuff!!
@dr
Good idea but I don't have a paypal account, a credit card and finally an internet bank account!!!
@Charan
I once had a similar problem in XP though. I was using iPod 30gb (which I gifted to a relative) for 40+ days and one day my friend got his iPod. I couldn't get it work I installed Winamp 5 Pro and that helped me transfer songs to his Pod

Btw, if you blow into the microphone, the smoke actually flies out. (you have to make some sound while blowing into it). I've tricked many people telling them I've got air sensors on the surface of my screen

This might not mean a lot to those who use the two finger scroll on the trackpad, but if you are at a long PDF or web page, and using the scrollbar jumps the page a little too rapidly, you can hold down Option/Alt and scroll. It reduces the scrolling speed so you can do a very gradual scroll....

I love The Secret Diary of Steve Jobs and have been reading it religiously for the past year. When Forbes’ Senior Editor Dan Lyons was ousted as the author behind the satirical blog, many people had felt that the blog would either cease to exist from then on or wouldn’t be as funny as it used to be. Common sense dictated that any senior employee of a respected magazine like Forbes wouldn’t jeopardize his relationship with the people and companies he wrote about or put his job on the line to entertain a (huge) bunch of blog readers.
*applematters.com/images/uploads/Fake_Steve.jpg
All these doubts were put to rest, however, when Forbes announced that they were thrilled to know that Fake Steve was none other than one of their own editors and took the blog into their fold. They gave Mr Lyons complete license to continue writing for the parody blog uninterrupted and unrestricted. Mr Lyons returned to blogging after a week long break, ”badder than ever” and it seemed that apart from the several Forbes links and advertisements in the sidebar on the right, nothing much had changed. Fake Steve was just as loud and rude as he used to be, the same self centered fake CEO who thought the world revolved around him. Fans loved it, and so did I.
But did he get a little too much freedom? Read more...
