Question by : How do you access your Facebook phone book on the current Facebook format?
I know at one point Facebook stored all of your phone contacts, but I can’t figure out how to access them since they changed Facebook (again!). I have some people stored in my phone who I want to look up by their phone number to see if they’re on Facebook. Thanks in advance!

Question by skibum_us: How do I keep my music on my portable hard drive and put it on my iPod?
I have music on my portable hard drive and I want to put it on iTunes so that I can put it on my iPod. How do I do that?

Answer by AZ122
You will need to move all of your music onto your portable hard drive first. Second, you drag the music into iTunes. As you drag the music, the music “location” will be registered onto the portable hard drive. You will not be able to play any music unless your hard drive is in. You will need to have it pluged in when the iPod syncs, as well.

Question by ridiculous: What is the best portable Windows notebook?
Preferably people with actual experiences with the brands they recommend.

I’m in the market for a high end, lightweight notebook (not netbook). Also looking for something that will last and comes with good customer service/warranty options.

Money isn’t really a problem, but would probably draw the line at 3K.

Why don’t you get a Macbook? My best friend just got one. She loves it. There are very few viruses for the Mac and it’s just all-around pretty awesome. Look it up.

Question by Mrmojo6068: What is the best connection to use from my cable box to TV?
Currently I have a coax cable connecting my digital cable box to my TV. I recently found out that this is not the best connection. It appears that I do not have HDMI or component ports on my cable box but I do have an S-video port. Should I connect the cable box to the tv by S-video? If I do so, will I also need to connect the two with an audio cable?

I don’t understand why any connector (hdmi, component, s-video) from my cable box to tv would improve the connection over coax. The cable line (from the outside) that goes into the cable box is coax. Why would it improve if the cable goes through the coax and then one of the above connections??? Isn’t the quality already diminished due to the coax cable from the outside??? I’m a bit confused…thanks!
PS: I have a 50″ Sony WEGA (720p) projector

It is called digital cable for a reason. This means it comes through as the best picture possible or it doesn’t come through at all. The coax is having a digital signal sent over it, so the quality is not diminished.

Now for the coax from the box to the TV: it is analog because most TV’s that have a coax cable don’t have a digital receiver (they have to make this sacrifice for older TVs).

The component and s-video are also analog, by the way with analog the better the cables you get the better the picture.

The HDMI is the best because it is the only connection that is digital out of the group. The HDMI is digital: best picture possible or no picture.

The HDMI is the only connector that can support 1080p (the best picture available to consumers to date).

Most newer TVs (LCDs, Plasmas, and DLPs) have HDMI ports.
