It starts to be not so funny any more: almost every week a new Java security update.
Time to update again, to stay secure and install the patch: Security Alert CVE-2013-1493.
On the funny side: Java 0day countdown.

I wrote before on How to solve stuck iPad keeping asking for Exchange password: reset your iPad (or iPod/iPhone if it happens with those).
Actually, you should first verify if your Outlook Web Access still works with the same password, and if it does, then try to restart your iPad/iPod/iPhone, and if that fails, reset it:
Restarting your device
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red “slide to power off” slider appears, and then slide the slider.
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button until the Apple logo appears.
Note: Reset your device only if you are unable to restart it.
Resetting your device
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button together for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.

The iOS 6.1 Software Update is available. Whereas the 6.0.2 didn’t install on an iPod Touch 4th generation, this one does and seems to promise better battery life.
6.0 and 6.0.1 seemed to have shorter battery life, so I’m looking forward to see how much better 6.1 is.

Below are some ideal replacements, as I always loose track of my tiny iPod Shuffle charger dongle.
It looks like an ideal solution for my Becker Mexico Casette, when combined with this:
The long cable is far easier not to loose (:

Thanks to Matthijs ter Woord who pointed me to these.
They require a single Intel®, Nvidia®, or AMD® primary WDDM driver. That driver does the actual rendering, the USB device then gets the rendered parts over USB to the monitor.
The really cool thing is: they work on a PC with Windows XP and higher, and on Mac with OS X Tiger or better.
The chipsets are based on DisplayLink technology; they have their own USB devices as well.

Great answer (from 4 years ago, these devices don’t hang that often):
Try resetting it. That will work for many problems your iPod has. I have a 5th generation 60GB iPod video, and to reset mine, you have to
- hold down the top of the clickwheel (MENU) and the middle button at the same time.
- Keep them pressed down until your iPod shuts off (should take several seconds) and begins to start up again.
It can be difficult to hold both down at the same time, so I recommend using two hands.

Today, my MacBook Air again kept keeping the fan speed at high, even though nothing was using CPU or other power.
So I again resolved it by following: Resetting the SMC solved my MacBook Air Fan Noise With Lion problem « The Wiert Corner – irregular stream of stuff.
The not so cool thing is that this ONLY works if your Mac is connected to a Power Source.
