One more reason that fifth generation iPod and Nano users have more fun. They can download lyrics to the songs.

Apple tells you how to do it here.

Just another reason to love your PSP. Konami and Sony will be designing a pair of 3D glasses for the PSP called the "Solid Eye."

To use the glasses, you simply clip them to the console and it blocks out any light. Ubergizmo writes that you'll also be able to use the glasses for creating and viewing 3D web sites on your PSP.

Metal Gear Acid 2 is rumored to be the first game to offer the 3D effects, and is scheduled for release on December 8th in Japan.

Judging by the image, it doesn't appear to be very comfortable, especially if you are holding it up for a long period of time to play a game. Maybe they should create a game console that uses 3D technology without the glasses, just like Deep Light is developing for its line of high-resolution 3D displays.

In my railing against the Apple hype machine on Friday, I focused so much on the video iPod that I neglected to mention the real loser of Apple's recent products, the Motorola ROKR phone. Engadget was kind enough to remind me and put some facts behind rumors that the ROKR hasn't done so well. (Still, 83,000 units a week isn't all that bad).

The ROKR appears to be a decent phone coupled to a not very good music player. It deserves to be a loser because it just doesn't deliver on the promise implied when you think of an iPod and a phone being brought together. Instead, the ROKR seems to combine everything Apple knows about handsets with everything Motorola knows about MP3 players.

Animal control is never pretty, but when using the Gentle Spray Cintronella Anti-Bark Collar ($109.99 direct) it smells pretty bad too. I have a nine-month-old Pomeranian, Bebe, that doesn't like it when my neighbor leaves for work at 6am. In fact, she doesn't like it when anyone enters or exits any apartment on my floor. And she barks, very loudly. This is a normal response for a dog, the result of hundreds of years of domestic breeding. Just the same, I would like it to stop.

The Gentle Spray collar is supposed to fix this, and after a few days of use I am pretty impressed. The collar is "bark activated" The dog barks, and is immediately hit with a blast of cintronella spray in the face.  This is odious enough to wrinkle the dog's nose, but it isn't enough to bother us humans, unless you have a serious allergy. The packaging says this is harmless and "twice as effective" as electroshock collars. My vet says it is safe and humane, as does the pet supply store owner.

I can't help but feel a bad about using a chemical weapon to control my puppy. But it is working.
