  • Applications create temp files while doing things. Applications that don't properly clean up their files on quit or Applications that crash will leave temp files behind. These are the files that show up as a Recovered File. You can normally just del…

  • For extending the battery life have you tried something like the Belkin Battery Backup for iPod. I don't know if it works with all iPods or not. Just thought I'd point it out.
  • Forms allow the site programmer to determine whether fields can be automatically populated. Many banking sites choosed to disable this for security reasons, so it's very likely there's nothing wrong with your system.

  • Intel hasn't owned the Indeo codec for a long time. Bug Ligos the current owner for some compatible versions. Although I doubt they care considering it's a dead codec.
  • Use VLC instead.
