"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

it depends on the phone: quite a few phones have bar code readers - it depends on the model of the phone. usually you can search for phone model and bar code reader and get the software program.

I have a phone with Symbian software and I have a bar code reader, for example.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.

Laga, which kind of bar code or matrix code? Scroll to the bottom of this wikipedia article for examples.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

Tom, coming from the cheap and non-audiophile end of things, I use these: [link] and like them a lot.

I have a pair of Altec Lansing headphones that I bought at the Apple Store and I don't like them at all. But they were the only pair under $100.

“Not dead yet!”

Techno hivemind question. If I have a DVD of a concert, is there any way I can download/extract the audio so I can load it as an iTunes playlist?

You want either Handbrake [link] or MPEG Streamclip [link]

Both of them have iPod settings for export.
