I loaned someone my cellphone to use, and now I can't get the smell of their soap/cologne off of the phone.

I have already tried rubbing alcohol, and Windex multipurpose cleaner. Anything anyone can suggest would be a great help...

I know that CMOS sensors are very suseptable to IR light, so webcam manufactures place an IR filter to remove IR light.

Do DSLR's have such a filter? I just purchased a new Nikon D40X, and am itching to take it apart. Thats just my nature with any new gadget that I purchase.

Can someone lead me to a tear-down website where someone has done this? I have gathered all my Jewlers screwdrivers and Im ready to go in!

Help me please, quickly.

I have learned a lot about coaxial, composite (RCA), VGA (d-sub 15-pin analog), s-video (analog), DVI (digital, computer), component (RGB analog), and HDMI (digital and sometimes with HDCP encryption), but I'm missing how the big picture relates to my practical considerations of the various equipment choices and interfaces.

But when does each standard become helpful? Display size, resolution, response time? In other words, how do the acronymns: PAL, 720p (progressive), 1080i (interlaced), etc. translate to the video sources, and TVs or monitors that I am considering to purchase?

And how do they support both analog and digital in the same standard, while DVI requires variations (dvi-d, dvi-i, dvi-a)?

Do adapters care whether the signal is digital or analog, and if not, then are any losses with adapters?

And what is this talk about "upconverting" a signal? Is this specific to digital, or can it work for analog?

Lastly, can a capture card receive a digital signal without losses?

I am using the Verizon $5 (250 txt) plan. I heard that the messages you send and recieve (which aren't from Verizon) count towards the 250 messages. I have a friend that lives in Canada who of course doesn't use Verizon, and if I want to text her, will it be included in the plan? Are there any additional charges? How about if she sends me a text?

****If you are completely sure that your answer is right, please respond. I don't want to pay a lot of money because of what someone thought was right. Write down your source as well. Thanks!!
