This is the concept only a few American homes acquire in the past years. Lately late, however, a good number of American h... more...

This may prove to be costly in the end but we cont... more...

First, of course, you're going to need a turntable and/or a cassette player. Try replacing that by listening to a motivational cassette, CD or mp3 instead. If you can record your voice, with a vocal coach or on your own onto a cassette, into the computer, or any recording device for playback evaluation is great.

And starting with one little 8-page manual on the subject of reading music, I now have well over 500 instructional DVD's, CD's, books, cassettes, charts, and videos - all designed to help people play the piano better and understand music better. Most of it is in audio cassette format, so I just pop a cassette into my tape player and listen. All of the video recorded by a DVR goes onto a built in hard disk instead of a video cassette tape. Record a cassette tape or CD with motiva... more...

Ultimately, being able to record your voice, even onto a cheap cassette or into the computer to hear your progress or areas that you immediately recognize needing improvement, is the best way to go. A good idea: Dictate the instructions on a cassette or write them out so the person can recheck the message. Digital music has come much closer to us-now we need not carry those portable cassette players to satisfy our musical souls. To start off the bat, the record company will deduct a '... more...

We have all been on the receiving end of a prank call at some time in our lives, whether it's a call to your mobile, home phone or office phone. There are pranksters that may just perform a one off prank call, which is acceptable to handle. But what about the people that are doing it day in and day out, it does start to get slightly overwhelming and you just want to throttle them.

We all love being lazy, but can you be lazy and be green. We look at three eco friendly remote controls. If you are always finding that your remote control for the television is running out of juice, or maybe you just want to be eco friendly, then this might be the gadget for you.
