Consumer Electronics - 26 November 2006

So I bought a brand new 30GB iPod Video a few days ago and when I analyzed it using Windows Defragmenter, I noticed that it was VERY fragmented. I had loaded and deleted a bunch of videos and albums in the past few days. I know about restore and how it erases everything and defragments at the same time, but I don't WANT to have to reupload all 20+ gigs of music and videos that I spent a long time tagging (yes, I tag my stuff manually--I can't stand iTunes for playing music even though I'm stuck using it for iPod), yknow?

Is it safe for me to just defrag or will it feck up my iPod in any way? I keep reading conflicting answers on the net but no one seems to be able to provide a 100% definite answer as to why it's OK or why it'll ruin/could ruin your iPod.

How come my bluetooth headset wont work on my friends phone? He set it to search for devices and my bluetooth headset is on but it didnt find the Jabra BT150. Why is that, and maybe I just forgot how to pair them together. How do I do it again?

I have a Verizon Wireless cell phone and I was wondering is there a way to send text messages from the internet because I live in an area where there is no coverage and sometimes I need to get a message to someone right away. And most of the people also have Verizon Wireless service.

i have been getting these calls since last 3 years and even police couldnt help me to end this misery. all they say its from pay as you go number and thats why they cant trace the source. I have changed my number but still this person found my new number and apparently he/she or it! can also find out what is going on in my life. i dont have any privacy. i hope there is some kina technology or some way that i can get to this person. its been long and its been painfull and now i hope you all yahoo users can help me through this. i cant hire a private detective as its costs alot and i honestly i cant afford it.

My question is I want to buy a digital camera, does brand really matter in choosing a good camera? I was looking into the Canon Powershot A530 for about $150. Does anyone have any suggestions on this camera or can I find a cheaper camera with the same features and good quality.
