I'm wondering if using a mini display port to HDMI (with Audio) cable connected to my HDTV, that I could use my MacBook with an external BluRay drive and the MacGo software to play the BluRay on my TV. Would this work? I don't see any reason why it wouldn't but just like to be sure before I spent £75 on an external BluRay Drive.

I stretched my ear recently to 8mm with a taper, I also purchased a double flared silicone solid plug to put in after however I'm having trouble inserting it. It is squishy but it seems impossible to compress it whilst trying to insert it, and the ends are at least 10mm if not more. I was wondering if anyone knew the best way to insert them was?

Does anyone know how much it costs for games to be shipped to game stores?

I'm having a hard time finding some games written or that use the following programming languages: ECMAScript, JavaScript, ActionScript, Java, C# and J2ME.

If you know of any examples that'd be a great help.

I removed a song from my library cause I got a higher quality version of the song however now whenever I try and add the song to my iTunes library it won't add. I've tried dragging it on the iTunes icon in the dock and tried to add it within the iTunes application. Anyone have an idea of how to fix this?

I want to set up advertising on my Wordpress blog however it's hosted on the wordpress website so I don't believe I can use Google AdSense as it needs the primary address which is of course wordpress.com. What other advertising platforms can I set up on my blog to help me make some money from my blog?

I want to start doing some recording on my MacBook and editing it and wondered what equipment I'd need to record vocals. I was thinking of starting cheap and getting a Shure PG48 as Shure are a good brand but I don't need to be spending too much yet. But what equipment would I need to connect it to the new MacBook (Spring 2010)?

I've recently purchased a Unibody MacBook with 2GB of RAM as I couldn't afford 4GB within my budget however after running web browsers for a couple of hours a lot of my RAM is used up so I kill the browser but similar to the iPhone not all the memory returns back to being free. Through the day this seems to build up so then I have to reboot my machine.

I was wondering is there a way to free RAM that's not being used like you can on the iPhone?

My AS exams are coming up and my current Texet calculator is quite old now (had it about 5 years) and it doesn't have the log to any base button and I would really benefit from this. Can anyone reccomend a good calculator that has this feature?

I don't currently have enough money to buy a MacBook although I am saving but want to get a netbook for the time being which I can run Mac OS X on. However most of the guides are for older netbooks and I was wondering just at the minute what is the best netbook to run Mac OS X on?

I wanted to get a Lenovo S10-2 but the Boing Boing article said it wasn't very good at all for running the software.

I want to build a decent gaming desktop from scratch, I've been looking around and trying to decide what would be best.

I would like to be able play Crysis (along with some other games, but this is the main one), which I know is a demanding game even at todays standards but won't need it on full AA etc. as I'll be happy with it looking good and running well.

I'm not sure if I should get a:

- Intel Core 2 Quad Q8400 2.66GHz Socket 775 1333FSB 4MB L2 Cache Retail Boxed Processor

or

- Intel Core 2 Duo E8400 Socket 775 (3.0GHz) 1333FSB 6MB L2 Cache Retail Boxed Processor

I know the Core2Duo is quicker and it's easily overclocked up to about 4GHz so would this be the better option, considering it's also slightly cheaper?

Also what GPU would you reccomend? I was looking in the £80-£150ish range but if you have one that would just be more worthwhile then say that one. I was looking at the Point Of View GTX260 Premium 216Core 896MB DDR3 Dual DVI PCI-E Graphics Card, which costs £150.

I'll be getting 4GB of PC2-6400 DDR2 RAM. Which is £80.

If I want to overclock the Core2Duo CPU what motherboard would you reccomend and what PSU and cooling system (or if theres a case with a good PSU and cooling system built in), as I don't have much knowledge when it comes to this part.

Your help would be grateful. If you have a better set up idea then please feel free to share, any ideas will help.

I'm going to be getting a Kodak Zi8 soon and I was looking for a low budget microphone to replace the low quality microphone that's in-built.

http://www.cybermarket.co.uk/ishop/923/shopscr3822...

What do you think of the microphone? Is it worth it and is there a better one out there that doesn't cost too much.

It's mainly going to be used for making YouTube videos and for recording gig's so it has to have a decent quality but not be too big.

It's a game similar to inFamous but you are a person who is infected with something by someone and you have to travel the city to find out who did it to you. I can't remember the name of the game, if anyone has any idea please help.

I've heard of a service before but forgot the name but basically some online stores in america do not ship to UK addresses so instead what you do is send it to that place, they charge a little for the service and send it to you where ever you are in the world.

I was just wondering if anyone can remember the name of a service such as this?

I've just been attempting some physics questions and just want to check my answers to see if there accurate.

Here's the question:

1. A 24W set of Christmas tree lights has 20 lamps in series worked from a 120V supply.

a. What is the current through the lamps?

b. What is the potential difference (voltage) across one lamp?

c. What is the power transferred to each lamp?

I've got some answers but would like to check them.

Also I wasn't sure on this:

Q: A car is traveling along the road with 40,000J of kinetic energy. The brakes are applied and it comes to rest in 20m.

a. Calculate the average braking force?

b. What happens to the kinetic energy?

Working out will help in case I've got it wrong so that I can realize where I went wrong.

How would you calculate the velocity of an object by using it's mass and it's kinetic energy.

The question given:

What is the velocity of an object, mass 1kg, which has 200J of kinetic energy?

I'm purchasing a Kodak Zi8 pocket video camera and I've read on reviews that, as usual, the in-built microphone audio quality is terrible so I'm looking to invest into some wireless microphone gear.

I think a lapel microphone will be best to use as it will be for making short videos and mini films.

Can anyone recommend a good microphone that is wireless and is it possible to have multiple microphones going to a single device or would other hardware be needed (and is it supported on the Kodak Zi8)

Links and any info is helpful.

I'm looking for an encoder which will allow me to encode in the following config:

Video:

resolution= 384x288 (4/3)

Codec= Still Image JPEG DIB

Audio:

Channels= 1

Rate= 44100 Hz

Codec= Apple QuickTime SWOT Little Endian

PCM Audio Codec

Any ideas? Price isn't a problem.

I've got Adobe Photoshop CS4 running and I was following an online tutorial on how to create a wallapaper ant they define a new brush so I did the same however on my Brush winow nothing is seleteable and it all seem's to be locked?

Any ideas.

I'm using a Toshiba Satellite A110-140 which has an ATI Radeon Xpress 200M graphics card and I've connected it to my TV using a VGA to RCA cable and it won't show an image.

My current framebuffer is set at 128MB I can alter that to 256MB if that will help which I assume it might.

I'm using Windows XP Home Edition and my displays set up to 1280*800.

Any help?
