Dear geeksugar,
I use three computers. I have a desktop with all my old data, a laptop for home use and a work computer. Over the last couple of years my music library has spread across all three machines.

I would generally frown upon ever wearing your iPod on your head. Generally, though. But from a man as fabulous as Karl Lagerfeld?

Summer is quickly approaching (well, in my mind it is), so if you're one of those waterbugs that we'd never find more than a few feet away from a pool or beach in the Summer months, and always have your iPod on you, then protect it with the Amphibx Armband ($60-$80) for your iPod and iPhone.
Able to keep your gadgets completely dry in up to 12 feet of water, Amphibx fits your iPods and MP3 players no matter what the size, and still lets you control your tunes with its see through touchscreen cover and sealed headphone jack system. Since all of the armbands have a latch locking mechanism, you can take this armored car of waterproof armbands in the pool, ocean, water park, lake, or wherever you find a body of water.

When Barry met Lizzie: American President Barack Obama met Queen Elizabeth II in the UK today, and they exchanged gifts, which is customary. The Queen gave Obama a photo of herself, and what did Obama give her? An iPod!

Although we are in the midst of some scary financial times, the earth does not stop spinning, and the gadgets won't stop coming. So instead of depriving yourself of a new gadget (or two) this year, save up your dough (be careful with those credit cards!), and splurge on one of these "recession-approved" gadgets. Why are they recession approved?

This month's Vogue has a great interview with Mrs. Bill Gates, the lovely philanthropist Melinda Gates. The interview focuses on the Microsoft founder's better half, but there's a fun Apple rivalry moment in the piece, when the subject of the couples' kids is brought up.
She says: "There are very few things that are on the banned list in our household.

Isn't season 13 of ABC's The Bachelor a hoot? After this week's "The Women Tell All" episode, I was still LMAO after Natalie went on about how the separation from her cell phone and iPod caused her to act the way she did on the show. She even went as far as to say that her "BlackBerry is her life source."

In celebration of this week's MacWorld event (and last year of Apple participation), I'm reminiscing pretty hardcore. Today's trivia question concerns the most legendary of Steve Jobs announcements. When the first iPod was revealed in 2001, how much did the 5GB version cost?

Phew, a happy ending to a tourists-getting-lost story! A couple of tourists who got lost in the cold, snowy Swiss mountains were saved by the light of their MP3 player, whose faint light was seen by the rescuers on the lookout for them.
I count myself lucky that I've never been in a scary situation I've needed to be rescued from, but I often consider what would help me in an emergency like that — the GPS on my phone is not only good for trying to find a restaurant I've never been to.

A teenager who had surgery to remove a brain tumor made news when he also listened to his iPod during the procedure (well, while he was conscious). It reminded me of how I always listen to my iPod when I'm at the dentist; not having to hear the drill as loud saves me from having minor freak-outs.
It's not just the sound of my preferred music that I like, either; having something I'm so familiar with is comforting, and a great distraction if I'm enduring something painful or uncomfortable.
