Flexible and Fun Clique Hue Webcam

As much as I'd like to follow Gizmodo's lead by calling the Clique Hue HD Webcam a "colorful porncam," I think I'll keep this one clean and suggest some other uses for this stylish webcam. For those of you who were fans of the stick figure Sony speakers, I'm sure you'll love this webcam as well, as it boasts a similar simplistic design. The Hue can be used to chat with friends or family online in its base or plugged directly into your laptop. It also comes with a 1.3MPX sensor, a built-in mic, noice reduction technology and a one-touch snapshot button for still shot pics. Choose from a variety of colors to suit your personal needs! Priced at $80 after the introductory discount. If you're using it for porn that's your business - not mine.

How to Sync Your iPod to Two Computers

La_clique recently posed an all too familiar question: I have a desktop PC with my iTunes library on it, but yesterday I bought a new laptop and wanted to be able to sync my iPod on there as well. Others have asked about managing multiple iPods on one computer, or dealing with controlling your music via your home Mac and a Windows PC at work. How does a geek manage his or her music without erasing their entire library?

For geeksugar's Guide to Syncing Your iPod to Multiple Computers, which is the first installment in a series of iPod How Tos, just read more

iPods were designed to automatically sync with one iTunes library, or one computer. Luckily, you can manually manage files on your iPod across multiple devices by: Displaying the iPod preferences and clicking the Manually manage music button. Then you can move files from any iTunes client to the iPod.

geeksugar Guide to Syncing Your iPod to Multiple Computers

Un-Networked Computers: Syncing two computers that are not connected via network (say your home and office computers), is relatively simple because iTunes is set by default to autosync with iPods. You must, however, be sure to switch to manual mode to avoid losing files.

Whitney Young’s free Senuti 0.31 allows you to copy single songs, songs grouped by artist or album, or entire playlists from an iPod into iTunes.

Paid options include crispSofties’ $35 iPod.iTunes, which allows you to also transfer metadata along with songs and playlists, but iPod, and MP3tunes, which provides syncing tools and unlimited online storage space for all your music files for $40 a year. Remember that you can authorize only five computers at once to play songs purchased from the iTunes Music Store.

Networked Computers:
Synchronizing iTunes manually between computers can be a laborious task. Oligrob Software’s free syncOtunes 0.95 (3.5 mice) can ease this chore. It's designed to sync libraries and settings, provided that the computers involved can communicate directly over a network.
