I am having trouble downloading iTunes for 64-bit Windows. Is the website jacked or something? It hangs if I try downloading in Firefox, and it isn't able to download from IE either. Is it bad to install regular iTunes on a 64-bit machine?

Corel VideoStudio Pro X3 help needed, if possible.

It works fine if I use clips I download from youtube. It does not like my DVD rips and crashes the second I try to play them in the timeline either as a clip or as a project.

I use DVDShrink to rip the clips, and VDub to convert to an avi.

I googled my problem and saw multiple comments that the latest Quicktime is incompatible, so I unistalled it and installed the recommended version. Still crashing. I can't exactly go to Corel tech support and say "hey, I'm doing something unlawful, can you help me with that?"

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

I don't like change, man. I have new Firefox to try and am also trying out Chrome. Change is hard. Stuff is in the wrong place. It doesn't look right.

Hate the new Firefox. Especially the back button with it's lack of dropdown.

There's a dropdown when you right click over the back button. It's annoying, but it's there.

Juliebird, the drop-down appears if you hold the back button down.

Or right-click! Didn't know that; that's easier.

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

Right-click the back button for the dropdown.

eta: Hah! Too slow.

I now have a Virtual Dub question pertaining to codecs. I've downloaded several suites, but when I go to select them in the video>compression option in VDub, they don't show. I'm trawling several tutorials, and so far haven't come across any steps inbetween the downloading of and the selecting of them in VDub.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I've decided to give Lifehacker first shot at defining best of category apps for Android, and this morning I've been fiddling around with their recommendation for shopping list management--Grocery IQ.

I kinda like. Because it lets you enter items by scanning the barcodes, so it's easy to wander around the kitchen grabbing things that are almost emoty and adding them to the list.

It's reasonable in that it's not limited to stuff in its database, so I can add tissues paper even though it doesn't recognise the brand I have in my bathroom (Ralph's). It's not the fastedy sy barcode recognition, but it is nifty, and saves on the hamfistedness.

Fields filled out so far: Name, description, quantity, aisle, and package.

Next on my list of recommended apps is Hipmunk, for cheap flights. This had better be good.
