Dang, that's wild.

I'm wanting to have a DSLR connected to my mac, so I can tether live view, and not need to stand looking down the tube. I got lucky on eBay with a Nikon D-70. Works well. (Although it doesn't live view. so I just keep triggering the shutter as I adjust the camera). The camera came with the EN-EL3 rechargeable battery. But it doesn't charge via USB. It needs it's own charger. I ordered one on Amazon, not looking that it's coming from China. Anyone have any tricks to charge that battery in some unique fashion?
Also, does anyone know of a older (i.e. less expensive) DSLR that will tether live view to a mac?

Whilst checking out a camera I found, I ran into this list of Lightroom tether compatible cameras which might be useful.

I have gone through five pairs of earphones in the last year. FIVE. All of them have had the connection between the cord and the jack go bad. I've naively tried to deal with the problem by purchasing increasingly expensive earphones, but that obviously isn't working. I am LIVID. I'm not abusing the earphones, what possibly could I be doing wrong?

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.
Apart from actual physical abuse of the connecting bits, I can't imagine anything that would cause that kind of failure five times, especially since it sounds like you're getting different makes. Are mice nibbling on them?

are they all failing in the same way at the same point? Is your placement of your device in your pocket at a strange angle, that is causing too much stress/strain on the connector area? Are you positive it's the headphones that are failing? Could it be the device? Try the headphones in other devices.

I keep my iPhone in my front jeans pocket, with the headphone port pointed up. It's hard to believe that I'm putting too much strain connector. But then again, why the hell does this keep happening? Is there something I'm not thinking of? It's definitely the headphones, I've tried them in different devices.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
That sounds bananas, and my only suggestion is to get headphones at Radio Shack and buy the warranty. When they stop working, you get a new pair.

CJ goes through earbud headphones like crazy. I've bought cheap ones and nicer ones and price doesn't seem to make a difference. Will have to look into Radio Shack. Though, I don't know if we have one around us anymore as the one I knew of has closed.
