Safari 4 – the fastest browser? You tell me.
Whether you’re a Mac or PC user, I sure hope you aren’t still using Internet Explorer to browse the web. Not only (imo) is IE not as secure, but it’s lacking in features as well. With options like Firefox and Safari available, you’d be missing out on a lot by not leveraging these free web browsers that can truly enhance your browsing experience as well as give you access to literally hundreds of plugins to make your web experience that much better.
With the new iPhone 3gs being released this week, you might not be so lucky to play with the latest Apple technology, but if you have a PC or a Mac, take a look at the 150 features that Safari 4 boasts. Personally, I’m a hard core Firefox user, but I’d love to hear which browser you use daily and why…

How to: When your iPod won’t work – reset utility for Windows
If you’ve ever seen this on your iPod, then you know you’re in trouble. For some reason every time I plug in my iPod to my Dell XPS M1330, Windows assigns it a drive letter and I can see the device in explorer for all of 5 seconds before iTunes launches and overtakes the device – it’s then no longer visible from Explorer – but that’s an issue for another day.
Today’s how to is going to focus on how you can easily wipe out your iPod outside of the iTunes interface. Luckily, the iPod Shuffle does have a reset utility that indeed does the job.
I was able to reset my Shuffle to the factory settings successfully. The other issue I mentioned above still really bothers me – why would iTunes take over a device and remove it from being seen in Windows Explorer. I can fire up the great Copy Trans iPod Manager for Windows before I plug in my iPod and this seems to force iTunes to NOT LOAD, but what a pain. I really wan to use iTunes for loading my music, but Apple is making that very difficult to do since I can’t sync my iPod with iTunes in any form, shape or fashion.
Apple, most of the time you rock, but with this Shuffle (and my backup one) – they don’t want to play nicely with iTunes.
