How to reset your iPod

Your iPod just crashed, and it's gasping for breath and giving you the black iPod screen of death. Resuscitate it with the magical, life-giving key combination:

1. Toggle the Hold switch on and off. (Slide it to Hold, then turn it off again.)
2. Press and hold the Menu and Center (Select) buttons simultaneously until the Apple logo appears, about 6 to 10 seconds.
This works on the latest click wheel 'pods; check out the whole Apple document for instructions on older models and other iPod troubleshooting techniques. —Gina Trapani

Jott.Com

A blogger at Studentlinc explains how he combined Jott and Gmail to create a to-do list he can add to just by making a phone call.

Jott, as you may recall, is a free service that transcribes phone messages and sends the text to you via e-mail. The trick here is to create a Jott-specific label in Gmail, then set up your Jott account to send messages to that address. One click of the Jott label will reveal all your to-dos. And you can "cross one off" by deleting the e-mail.

I'm a huge fan of using Jott to send myself reminders. This takes the idea one step further by leveraging Gmail's labels. Know any other Jott hacks? Put 'em in the comments. — Rick Broida
