Carl from OH writes: I'm starting to have problems with CD-Rs. Especially near the end of the CD, the music gets scratchy and fluttery. They played Perfectly when I first burned them. They are stored in a jewel case. So, do CDs deteriorate or get cloudy with Age? Can they be polished up to get the music data off of them? Great question, Carl. Many people rely on writeable CDs (CD-Rs) or rewriteable CDs (CD-RWs) to back up important information, send files to other individuals and to make music CDs to listen to in CD players. What many people do not realize is that optical media, which includes CD-Rs and CD-RWs, don't last forever. The lifespan of a CD depends on a variety of factors, including whether the CD is of the writeable/rewriteable variety or if the data or music was etched into the disc by the manufacturer as well as how the CD is cared for and stored. Types of CDs Factory manufactured CDs, sometimes referred to as pressed CDs, last much longer than CD-R and CD-RW discs because of the way the data is recorded. Data on pressed CDs is actually pressed into the disc, creating a series of pits and lands. Because the data is literally etched into the disc, these discs last quite a long time and are usually only affected by physical damage. Writeable CDs, on the other hand, are covered with a layer of dye. During the writing process, a laser burns the dye on the disc turning it black. Over time the dye breaks down rendering all or part of the disc unreadable. While it's more important to properly care for recordable CDs because of the dye, all CDs should be properly stored and cared for to extend their life. The lifespan of recordable CDs depends on a variety of factors, such as which dye the manufacturer used and how the CD is cared for and stored. There are several dyes commonly used by CD manufacturers. Some of these dyes break down faster than others and some are more sensitive to light and temperature than others. Improperly storing a CD can also contribute to the degradation of the dye, which could render the disc useless. Proper Storage How you store your CDs can directly affect their lifespan and could lead to poor music quality or data that will not load. It's best to store CDs in protective cases, such as the plastic jewel cases that CDs are often packaged in. While thin plastic or paper sleeves will provide some protection for your CDs, heavy objects placed on top of the sleeves could still lead to damage. CD jewel cases stored vertically are less prone to damage than CD jewel cases that are stacked, so keep your CDs stored vertically in a cool, dry location. Avoid stacking CDs on top of each other or setting an unprotected CD on any surface as dust or dirt particles on the surface could scratch the surface of the disc. If you must place a CD on a surface unprotected, set it down so that the side with the information is facing up. Return the CD to its storage case as soon as possible so that it is not damaged. The dye coating recordable CDs can be degraded by a number of things, including the light emitted by the laser inside your CD player or computer and ambient light. Because of this, it's best to store CDs away from light sources, such as lamps or the sun. When storing music CDs in your car, use jewel cases or protective cases and store the cases in a glove box, under a seat or elsewhere in the car where they will not be exposed to direct sunlight. This will help prolong the life of your recordable CDs. Hope that helps! Remember to keep your CDs clean and safe, but also remember to create a backup… because no matter how many precautions you take, they won't last forever! ~Chad Stetson Click here to rate this tip | Printer friendly version Do you have a question for us?

WS App Review: Words with Friends If you enjoy playing scrabble and want a way to play a similar game with friends, random new people (or just in person with a buddy), then this is the app for you. Words with Friends is a tile-based word game where players use tiles to build words on a board. The goal is simple: Get the highest score. The challenge comes in when the board starts filling up and you have to make a word with the letters AAAQZPF. The game is as simple as dragging the tiles from your tile rack onto the board to play a word. The word must connect to an existing word on the game board, unless you're the first person to go. When you click "Play" the word you spelled is submitted and verified as a correctly spelled word and sent to your opponent. You can both see the board at the same time, but only the individual players can see the tiles in their rack. Check the review out here! (Want these tips in their entirety? Sign up for Premium!) MS Excel: Creating Visual Breaks Without Using Cell Borders When setting up a worksheet where we need to separate one section of information from another, and present that separation clearly, we often use cell borders to accomplish the job. Obviously that option is a great way to get the job done, but we tend to use those for everything… so making that visual break between data sections requires a bit of finesse with those borders. What if we could create a visual break with a line created from a single character… let's say an X or a ~ or maybe even a combination of X~? What about a word or phrase… No, I'm not suggesting that you sit there and repeatedly hit a specific key or type a word over and over. If you're going to use the line several times then you either do a lot of copy / paste work or end up with lines of different lengths… not necessarily the preferred situation. Today I'm going to throw the use of the REPT formula out there for your consideration. Read more here! (Want these tips in their entirety? Sign up for Premium!) David from Miami Beach, FL asks: In Windows 7, frequently a window gets on top and blocks any access to other windows unless I minimize it. If I open a new window it opens up behind the window on top. If I reboot or close and reopen the application the problem disappears for a while, but then comes back. David, I'm afraid that, in order to answer this completely, I'll need a little more information. Just in case, however – If the window is from a program on your computer, it's possible that you have an option selected in that program to have it "always on top". For instance, from the general settings section of the "preferences" menu of my favorite media player, Gom, you have this: Finish the tip at Worldstart! (Want these tips in their entirety?

Time lapse photography has always caught my attention, so when I found this site that sort of works along the same premise as time lapse photography to create time machines (or as I like to think of them time capsules) I knew I had to share it with you. I'd recommend that you start on About page and watch the Demonstration video. In seven minutes it fully explains how the time machines work, and what makes them different from regular time lapse technology. It explains it far better than I could. As for navigation – on the main page, pick a video that sparks your interest (I started with Plant Growth and ended up watching all of them) and then either read the information on the right of the page about the project you've selected or dive right in and press play and watch the time machine video. What is really neat about these videos is that because of the way they are filmed you can zoom in and out as watch by using the plus and minus sign on the video. You can also set what speed you watch the video in and whether it plays backward (from the finished product – so in the case of the plants, fully grown plants to seedlings) or forward from start to finish. The information on the right side of the video is amazingly in-depth in the topic and completely worth the read. At the moment there are thirteen very neat videos to choose from so go check them all out! http://timemachine.gigapan.org/wiki/Main_Page ~Amanda Click here to rate this tip | Printer friendly version Do you have a cool, non-commercial site that you want to share?Send it to Amanda at amanda@worldstart.com HATE Your Weak Wireless Connection?
