Geek Community Ask a Geek Girl: Will Apple Replace My Headphones? Jan 29, 2010 7:30 AM This question comes from reader Lauren : So I have had my iPhone 3GS for less than six months and have loved every moment of it. Until last week, when I realized my headphones were only outputting to my left ear. The volume toggle still works on the right ear but there is absolutely no sound coming from the right earbud. I am just wondering if anyone else has had this problem and do you think Apple will replace the headphones with ones that work? Have you had a similar experience or any luck getting Apple to replace broken headphones? Let us know!

Angelica Where's the Best Place to Get Old Photos Digitized? Dec 29, 2009 9:57 PM Over the holidays my grandmother whipped out her albums and shoe boxes filled with gorgeous (and some fuzzy) memories from the 1930s onward. The entire family was flabbergasted because we'd seen most of them before, but never all at once. How quickly we all forgot — in this age of digital cameras — that photographs take up a lot of space. And of course, they can't be shared between 12 people who all want a copy. My mother and I have been tasked with finding a way to digitize the photos, but we just don't know where to start. Do you have any suggestions for online or in-store services that can do the job for us? I'd love to do it myself, but I don't have a scanner and can't spend the time at Kinkos.
GeekSugar Email Management Tips From the Community Dec 9, 2009 2:31 PM Earlier when I posted some email management tips , you replied with some great advice! Here are four more organizational and management tips submitted by GeekSugar readers. Use Different Accounts I have different accounts. I use one account to sign up for websites and things like that, and one account just for personal emails, and another account for work. By doing this, it eliminates the clutter in my inbox, usually caused by random spamming, and newsletters and announcements from the sites I sign up for. — Chrstne Create Rules I use and abuse the "rules" function when it comes to emails. I have tons of emails that will be sorted into organized folders, some emails automatically marked as read and sent to trash, and some emails highlighted as probably being important. It helps! — Julianne G. See the rest of the tips when you . Deal With Email Right Away If I can, at the end of each day, or each week, I delete the emails I don't need or that aren't work related. Personal and freelance work are two Gmail accounts that I always have open. That way if I get an email I see it immediately and deal with it or "star" it to deal with later. — Advah Inbox as To Do List I try to move emails to folders or delete as soon as I can so I can use my inbox as a to do list for work. — mek123 Do you have a tech question you'd like to ask us?

GeekSugar Awesome Email Management Advice Dec 7, 2009 1:10 PM A friend of mine recently asked me what my best advice was for dealing with an overcrowded email inbox — and I unfortunately realized I wasn't applying any of the advice I could give to my own overcrowded inbox. But it's a common problem, and a ton of unread messages sometimes cause enough anxiety to ruin your day or, in extreme cases, make you consider declaring email bankruptcy . I've heard all kinds of solutions from different people — check email only once an hour, immediately file messages you receive — but none seem to work for me. Luckily, I found these suggestions to remedy a packed inbox from New York Times writer Nick Bilton: "I don’t believe there is one panacea for in-box obesity. Fixing the problem will require multiple approaches. Some of them will have to come from the people who are partially responsible for this mess: the programmers." To hear what's on the list, . The list of 10 ideas includes suggestions like, "Add the ability to take yourself off of an email chain," and "Add a 'Caution! Do you really want to reply-all?' feature." Some of the suggestions are meant in jest (like the one that suggests truncating all email messages longer than the 140-character Twitter limit, because, "do we really need more than 140 characters for most messages?"), but they're some of the most inventive I've seen lately.
