How do I stop iTunes from automatically adding files I download to my iTunes library?

Question by absent_guile: How do I stop iTunes from automatically adding files I download to my iTunes library?
I’m not all that computer savvy, and my iTunes is somehow set to automatically add each music file I download to my iTunes library. This is incredibly annoying because sometimes the files are corrupt and I have to delete them. How do I set iTunes so that it will not add files to my library automatically?

Any help will be appreciated. Thank you!

Don’ buy files from iTunes, buy from Amazon. Cheaper price and you can add them where you want.

Teensy: Stop Motion Made Using Single Atoms As Pixels

ibm-single-atom-stop-motion.jpg

This is a short stop motion video from IBM that they produced using SINGLE ATOMS as individual pixels. Do you understand how small an atom is? No? Well think of a bouncy ball. Now think of a SUPER F \*\*\* ING TEENY bouncy ball. That’s how small an atom is provided you imagined a bouncy ball small enough. The atoms in the video have actually been multiplied 100-million times. The pubic hair I plucked and looked at under a microscope in 10th grade biology course? I think that was 50x. My laboratory partner informed on me too which is exactly why she got SHOCK DISSECTED FROG COMPONENTS in her knapsack the following semester. Do not tinker science, Stephanie!

Arrived the jump for the short in addition to a making-of video if you’re really into science and not simply fabricating it due to the fact that science is supposed to be so cool right now. You know who you are.

DNP Switched On How HP learned to stop worrying and love android

Just those who were at the highest levels of HP at the time will likely ever understand the complete story of the marvelously mishandled $ 1.2 billion acquisition of Palm and webOS. In the period of only 8 months in 2010, the IT titan’s plans for the operating system underwent a titanic turnabout– from a structure modern technology that would infiltrate every crevice of its device business to an orphaned open-source task ultimately offered to LG Electronics. Was the shift driven by core business softness that averted further financial investment, the personal fiat of a short-tenured CEO or a sensible reaction to unsatisfactory sales? All three most likely played some duty.

HP purchased Palm because it was disappointed with the options it saw in the mobile operating system landscape. Past the deep relationship the company had with Microsoft for PCs, it had dabbled with Windows Mobile on a couple of smartphones such as the HP Glisten that never saw broad circulation. It had actually also produced an Android device, an obscure netbook called the Compaq AirLife 100 that lacked Android Market and was distributed specifically via Spanish telecom titan Telefonica.

Impressive: Arcade Themed Post-It Stop Motion Video

video-game-post-it-video.jpg

Note: No screencap is actually visiting do the video justice, so simply view it. If you do not like it I’ll let you pertain to my home and drill me but you’ve never seen me before so I will be offering you my roommate’s description.

This is a super outstanding computer game themed stop movement animation made by Michael Birken using Post-Its. It managed 2,304-hours (the equivalent of 96 days) stretching over 11 months to develop and consists of 5,772 individual frames. I can’t even fathom spending that much time on a project. Generally by the second day I have actually lost interest in whatever I was doing and I’m back on my usual feces at the bar discussing to the bartender why I’m back regardless of informing him just two days ago, “You most likely will not be seeing me for a truly, really very long time.”.

Struck the jump for the video.

How Do I Make My Friend Stop Taking Creepshots Of Me?

You can either stand up or stand down. Plus, what to do with that Facebook update you weren't supposed to see.

My friend is constantly taking creepshots of me on Snapchat or just the camera and posting them online, either on Instagram or on Facebook. (They’re not inappropriate or anything, but still.) It is starting to get on my nerves. How do I get her to stop?

I've said it before, and I'll say it again: Taking/keeping pictures of someone who doesn't want you to take/keep them is one of the absolute weirdest, most annoying, meanest things we do to the people that are supposed to be our friends. It's also HILARIOUS, so, therein lies the problem. Ban cameras and videocameras and anything else that can make tangible our collective, embarrassing existence.

I think that if you are ACTUALLY mad at your friend, in a way where the creepshots make you uncomfortable and unhappy and resentful, you should have a Serious Sit Down Talk with her and tell her how you feel. Don't joke, or say, “This isn't a big deal,” or apologize for being upset, because doing so will make her think you aren't all that bothered by it and she'll keep doing it because that's what she wants to do. Hopefully she will respect your request. If she doesn't, she isn't a good friend.

If, on the other hand, you don't care THAT much and are just a little irritated by the creepshotting, you should ignore it completely, because taking creepshots of a friend who doesn't care or engage it in anyway is just not that fun. Help this person find a new hobby.

John Herrman, frequent creepshot-ee.

A promoter who uses my website sent me a Facebook friendship request today, and since I don’t want him reading my posts for obvious reasons — I prefer to only offend friends and family with my posts, not people who make me money — how do I tactfully reject a Facebook friendship request from a professional acquaintance and add him on LinkedIn instead?

This is an easy one: Just don't care. Who cares! Ha ha. Hey, that was easy.

The thing about friendship requests from strangers you don't see IRL is that they will probably never ask you why you haven't accepted their requests yet, because I think almost all of them know that doing so would make them seem like sad maniacs. So you ignore it rather than denying it outright, because then it just sits there and maybe he thinks you don't use Facebook much because you are so busy doing such a good job at your…job. That would be nice for you, if he happened to interpret these events in that exact way! But also it's maybe better if he just doesn't think about it. Which he probably won't, because you aren't a girl or a boy he is hoping to make out with. (Right?)

So while that request sits there for eternity, you can send him a LinkedIn request in its place. There's no need to acknowledge that this is an exchange. This person will accept you on LinkedIn, and the two of you can do whatever it is that LinkedIn friends do, and that's that.

NYPD And Apple Team Up To Stop iThing Theft In NYC

iphoneapple

The number of gadget-related thefts in major metropolitan areas has only continued to rise, and the number of resolved cases simply can’t keep up. However, it would appear that Apple is now working directly with the NYPD to help return iThings into the hands of their rightful owners.

The NYPD has formed an official team which will work directly with Apple to track down stolen iThings, mostly iPhones and iPads.

Devices are tracked in the same way they always have been: with the help of tracking number (International Mobile Station Equipment Identity). Once the tracking number has been relayed to Apple, Cupertino can locate the device and send police to retrieve it.

According to NYPD spokesman Paul Browne, the team hopes to uncover a pattern that will lead police closer to the more organized side of the thefts, involving resale on the black market to unsuspecting buyers.

In New York, 74 percent of all stolen Apple products remain within the five boroughs. But some venture quite a ways away — the NY Post reports that Apple helped police track down an iPad that had ended up in Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic.

According to the Huffington Post, the NYPD reported that over 40 percent of all robberies in the city now involve cell phones.

The wireless industry has been working hard to integrate with law enforcement on a number of levels. Along with Apple’s direct work with the NYPD, the wireless industry as a whole has been working to form a database of tracking numbers to help keep theft down, or at the very least, return as many stolen devices as possible. However, that won’t launch until November of 2013.

Additionally, carriers are working with officials to developer a next-generation 911 system that includes texting, MMS, as well as calls.

Somebody Needs To Stop Pickup Artists From Making Dating Apps

On The Rebound is a new app that guesses which among your Facebook friends is primed for a new relationship…with you. Make it stop!

Another day, another essentially functionless “dating app” made by a group of two or three young guys who’ve been reading too much Mystery — which, to be quite clear, is any Mystery at all: “On The Rebound” is a new Facebook app — created by Anthony Coombs and Jon Tran — that claims to “analyze” users' relationship statuses and history to evaluate which among your Facebook friends are, per the name, “on the rebound.”

With around 3,000 users in its first few days, “On The Rebound” is, perhaps, the rabid mouse to Bang With Friends', let's say, rat king: It's not quite as sickly ambitious or brazenly delusional — it doesn't assume that ALL of your Facebook friends might be lusting after you and would totally do you if only you'd present them with the right app to announce it, and a disclaimer at the bottom of its page reads “[This app] will not help you get laid” — but it still belongs to the same gross family.

After you’ve logged into “On The Rebound” and specified whether you're interested in creeping on men or women (you can't have both!), the app shows you a handful of friends — the quantity depends on your own set of Facebook friends — with the highest “rebound ratings,” or presumed readiness to date/hook up. To arrive at these ratings, the app collects information about users' past relationship statuses, how long they were maintained, and how long it's been since they were changed to “single.” A rating of 100 means that the user in question is “on the rebound” and ready, I guess, for you. (In the “Our Advice” box adjacent to that particular rating, the text reads: “He's ready. He's been ready. C'mon now! You are so obviously the one for him!”)

Of course, for the app to even SORT of work, users would need to be completely forthcoming with their relationship statuses, which many Facebook users don't always do, or even use at all. Like “Bang With Friends” and other apps in this vein, “On The Rebound” reflects a widely held, oversimplified, and often mistaken belief that Facebook knows everything about us, like a diary stand-in. But that's not really true for most of us: Facebook is an outline, not a complete picture.

So apps like these tend not to “work” — not in any practical sense, at least — at all.

Consider the six guys I'm presented with: a friend in a six-year (but unlisted on Facebook) relationship, my best friend's 21-year-old little brother, a gay guy I used to intern with, and three old friends from college — all of whom don't have prior relationships listed on Facebook, and all of whom “On The Rebound” weirdly describes as “still in love with his ex or he's not looking for anything serious at all.” I guess I can say that's true enough for one of them, but how, in general, do the app's designers arrive at their ratings and justifications in the absence of concrete relationship status changes?

HP tells Chinese factories to stop raiding schools for cheap labor

Image

We know that HP’s Chinese sub-contractors take pleasure in an area of opera on the manufacturing line. Exactly what’s constantly been harder to identify though, is who those employees are and what work rights they have. In an effort to preempt the sort of headlines that have affected other brands, HP has actually issued brand-new guidelines to its Chinese partners– consisting of Foxconn– created to restrict the use of students and short-term workers and provide those people more control over their hours.

Pupils frequently seek work throughout trips, however schools near to factories have actually also been understood to press their pupils into handling changes during bouts of high demand– even if it’s to the detriment of their studies. That will not do for a global manufacturer that should be seen as education and learning friendly, so from now on “interns” will only be accepted for work that tallies with their course location, and the School Administrator will simply need to find his kickbacks in other places.
