Using Firefox, I've been trying to get my Netflix queue into my bookmark toolbar (using RSS). I pasted the link Netflix gave me into a new bookmark, but all I get is a regular link to the xtml page with my queue info, not the RSS feed that I expected.

Any ideas what I'm doing wrong?

OK so I've got my SHINY NEW IPOD charging for its first time ever, and I'm about to install the software on my puter, but I have (YET ANOTHER ANNOYING) question: should I install everything that comes on the iPod disc, if I already have stuff like iTunes and iPhoto on my computer?

Nonian, you need to go to Bookmarks->Manage Bookmarks...->File->New Live Bookmark..., and add it there.

Do you have a Mac? Because I do and I didn't have to install anything for my iPod to work (since I already had iTunes).

I do have a Mac. So should I just ignore the disc that came w/?

The latest iTunes version is 4.7. That's all you should need.

Woot. I have that. Thanks.

Now I just have to wait FIVE HOURS for my new iPod to charge.

Rio!

Last night, I gave FAQ Girl her Xmas present -- a 40GB iPod preloaded with 7400 of my favorite songs. I am now officially the Best. Boyfriend. Ever.

JON! I just emailed you like 5 SECONDS AGO!

I think you'll have to share BBE status with Saget right now, actually. He got me the 60GB photo iPod and made a file of pictures of my nephlings spelling out my name with their hands, over and over. He took the pictures last weekend in Detroit when I wasn't looking, just for this purpose.
