1) Having got totally fed up with Internet Explorer and a bit bored with Firefox, I’ve been using Google’s Chrome as my web browser. Not bad: but the orange RSS feed button on my home page delivers gibberish in Chrome, though it works just fine in IE and Firefox. Anyone know why?

2) The camcorder I won at my son’s football breakfast is very nice indeed, and I’m absolutely not complaining. However, it’s a model that has no USB jack — no way to connect to a PC. Seems to me there should be some minimal $40 gizmo — no camera, screen, or sound — that just rolls a miniDV tape into my PC, like the Optimus SCP-31 I use for audio tapes. Trolling around the web, though, not only did I come up with nothing, I came up with lots of complaints that there is nothing, below the $800 studio decks. The advice out there is to just buy the cheapest possible camcorder that does have a USB jack and use that to feed tapes into your PC! This seems to me a highly inelegant solution. Can I do better?
