I'm considering buying a computer on eBay that has a completely empty hard drive. The eBay seller is selling a bunch of these computers and the description says that they are "off-lease." Are off-lease computers okay to buy? Will the computer work if I just install Microsoft Windows on it...

I read through your article on how to friend someone on Facebook, but what you list is out of date and needs to be rewritten for the latest interface. There isn't a Friends menu and I can't figure out how to invite friends...

I don't have a blog, I don't have a fancy Web site and I don't have a profile on MySpace or Facebook, but I do get people coming to my simple little four-page Web site and I'd like to learn more about them. My sister says I want to run some "analytics" program, but I'm clueless...

Ok, I get you like small form-factor cameras because having one with you is better than having a pro rig that's in the closet at home, but which camera do you suggest for an advanced amateur photographer...

In addition to having a ton of music on my Apple iPod, I also have a copy of it all on my laptop, which is great. Any time I want I can plug in my headphones and listen to it while working. Except there are some songs that I just don't want to show up when I'm in "shuffle" mode in iTunes...

I read your earlier article on how to unfriend someone on Facebook, but my Facebook interface doesn't look at all like yours. I think your stuff's just out of date, Dave. Can you update this for the new Facebook 2.0 (2010?) interface? Thanks!

Hi, my name is Lori and my friend, Pegah, has found out that her hotmail account has sent out emails to all of her contacts without her knowing. The email says: "Hey How are you doing...

On our site: soysource.net I have added the sample code from your website (see Add a Google Search to your Website) to the bottom of ours, I customized it into Japanese a bit. If I search something in Roman characters like "Hiroshi", I can get a number of hits...

This is going to sound dumb, but a few days ago I posted a joke and got a ton of great responses (comments) from my friends. Now I want to show my girlfriend and can't find it because all I see is my most recent status update on my Wall. So, what the heck? How do I find my older stuff?

We have two admins to a fan page (for a mothers of twins club) and were wondering how we could comment on our fan page as ourselves and not as the page admin? Every once in a while it would be better for us to interject a comment as ourselves versus the admin...

Dave, can you tell me, how come I enjoy shell programming more than other types of programming (Javascript, Java or C)?

I'm tired of Gmail's threading and performance problems and want to just give up and bail on the service entirely. Not just ignore my account but actually delete it from the Gmail system. Oddly enough, though, that seems to be impossible. So, Dave, how do I delete my Gmail account?

I'm concerned about an email I just got from Amazon.com saying that an order I'd placed had been cancelled, but I haven't placed an order for months. Did someone break into my account that I got the message "Amazon.com - Your Cancellation (2706-81146-4342895)"

A couple of my MySpace friends have super cool new profile layouts and when I asked them was told that it's just the new MySpace interface. Uh, it isn't on my account. How can I get to this new interface where I can pick a more modern layout and appearance?

This is just bizarre. I have been adding PDF documents to my Kindle so I can review them while on the road, and suddenly after having everything neatly organized, they've vanished from the device. In fact, all i can see now are books, everything else has vanished completely from the Kindle system...
