Have you ever wondered what you should do on RuneScape after you get out of Explorer Jack's Cellar with Sir Vant and Roddeck? Well when I started playing RuneScape in April I was wondering the same thing.

Today I am going to talk about some fun things to do on RuneScape.

Before you start doing those things is to train yourself up a little in combat (in case you have to fight some aggressive monsters). You can train right where you come out: In the village of Lumbridge. There are goblins and giant spiders close to Explorer Jack's house.

Even before you start fighting them you should get a weapon. Go to the Lumbridge general store and get the free bronze dagger. Then you can start training...

I signed up for Google Buzz along with everyone else, but every time I look at it in my Gmail account, it's just status updates from Twitter. If I wanted to follow these people on Twitter, I'd do so. I want to get rid of Google Buzz, or at least not have it show up in my Gmail screen. How can I do that?

I have a conference call every morning - same number, same access code. I'd like to set up iCal so that as one of the "reminders" Google Voice calls my phone and connects me to the conference call automatically. This should be possible... Can you figure it out?

I get all sorts of spam from my Microsoft Live.com membership. I just want to keep my Hotmail account active since I've had it since I was in high school, but I don't want to have to weed through all these promo messages, etc. Can I turn these off? I know there used to be a way...

A lot of noise-reducing devices have passed through our offices, and I've had many in-flight opportunities to test things and see how they work, but even with that, I have to say I am astonished at how extraordinarily well the Nokia BH-905 bluetooth headphones work when the automatic noise reduction is enabled.

Which isn't to say that these are perfect, because they're not. In fact, there's a design flaw that I found incredibly frustrating and which caused me to more than once pull them out of my bag just to find them dead...

I want to email a really cute photograph of my cat to my girlfriend while she's on a business trip. We communicate via Facebook. Is there a way to email her the photo in Facebook?

I have written a book and I want to self-publish, but I am not sure how to choose a self-publishing company. Which self-publishing company is best and what's the difference between them anyway?

I have an iPhone 4 and while I haven't seen any major problems with the reception based on how I hold the phone, what the heck, I'd like to get a free case through the program Jobs announced earlier in July. How do I score a free Apple iPhone 4 bumper or case??

My parents are traveling in Africa and I want to be able to quickly see what the time is where they are in Johannesburg, South Africa, before I try to text or call them. I know that the iPhone has a Clock app as part of the built-in software, but how do I add a specific country clock to the list?

The idea of being able to access all my files and data from anywhere on the Internet is darn tempting. Imagine having a multi-terrabyte file server that only you - and people you invite - can share, and imagine it's fast, easy to set up, and surprisingly inexpensive. Enter the oddly-named Pogoplug. For under $100 (at Buy.com) it does a great job of creating your own personal Internet file server.

CloudEngines has a pleasantly modern sensibility and the documentation that they included with the review unit had a "popcorn test": betting that you could configure it and get going faster than you could microwave a bag of popcorn. Confident, but they would have lost the bet with me...

My Dad gave me a bluetooth headset that he isn't using, a Nokia BH-700, and I want to pair it with my iPhone 3GS, but I can't figure out how to proceed since the instruction manual has vanished. I have the power adapter, so at least I can charge it, but that's about all I have figured out how to do so far. HELP!?

Hi. Someone put two photos in my photo section on Facebook as pictures of me. They are supposed to be a game labeled who's glancing thru your profile or some to that effect but they don't work. The real problem is they've ruined my photo page. People click on my photos and that's all they see. Facebook people tell me all I have to do is click on untag photo by my name but there is no tag. I suspect it is on her computor.

I've had an Apple iPhone since the iPhone 3 was released and now that I have an iPhone 4, I realize that I should be able to pair it via bluetooth with my Toyota GPS navigational system. I have no idea how to proceed, however. Any chance you have a Toyota and can help out?

When I click "Start" to open the menu window in Microsoft Windows 7, the "Search" choice (above recent items) is missing. How can I add it to my start menu?

A friend who also has an Apple iPad told me that there's a software / firmware update to the iPad, but when I go to the App Store on my iPad and check for updates, I don't see it's available. How do I update my iPad's operating system firmware?

A friend showed me how to use Spotlight search on my new iPhone 4, and it's a great way to find things quickly, but I really, really don't want to have it search the thousands of songs I have on my phone, just my contacts and address book information. Is that something I can tweak or alter?

I want to start experimenting with CSS3 on my Web site and would like to start with rounded corners and drop shadows, both of which would be mondo cool to include on my site. Is it too soon? If not, how do I create CSS3 border radius containers?

As a happy new iPad owner, I don't really need my Amazon Kindle device any more, so I plan on selling it on Craigslist for whatever I can get for it. Honestly, I think that the Kindle instantly obsoleted once they released the Kindle app for the iPad, but that's another story. My question is: how do I reset my Kindle DX so that the new owner can't buy things against my Amazon account?

I was able to see large photos of incoming callers from my contact list and now I'm just getting the wallpaper backdrop on my iPhone when my friends call. How I do I revert to the viewing the full photos of my contact list when I make or receive calls?

Buying any sort of modern electronics device typically includes buying a case or holder for it, and while laptops can easily go into a computer bag you might already own, just about everyone I've seen with an Apple iPad has opted for an iPad case too, whether it's the black Apple case or from one of the increasing number of third parties offering a solution.

I've had a chance to try out a number of different iPad cases and compare them. Generally, I have my iPad in a case for protection, then mostly carry the entire unit in my computer bag or otherwise protected from the elements.

I started out with the Apple iPad Case, then switched to a Newer Technology iFolio and a Waterfield Designs iPad Smart Case, then a Macally Bookstand case and an Incase Nylon Sleeve, and have now settled on... well, read on to find the answer!

I know that Google is the popular search engine for most folk, but I really think that Microsoft's Bing system is better and offers up more useful results. To help Bing become more successful, I'd like to have a search box on my site that utilizes the Bing search engine. Is that possible?

How do you hide files and applications from showing up in the today, yesterday, and past week section of the finder sidebar?

I don't have one of those fancy iPod Touch units, but my recent iPod Classic appears to have the ability for me to buy and install games on it. Problem is, when I go to the App Store, it's all iPhone / iPod Touch / iPad related and there's no link of any sort to iPod games. Do they still sell these games?

A friend and I were having a beer when her phone beeped: it was a direct message she'd received on Twitter. Cool. How did she set that up and how can I do the same on my iPhone?

Okay, so I now know how to pair a cellphone with my Mac via Bluetooth - thank you! - but I am still unclear about how to actually transfer a file to the device. Can you shed light on this additional step, Dave?

I saw your earlier article about how to pair a bluetooth speaker with a Mac OS X system, but am wondering about how to do the same with my son's older LG phone? I know that the iPhone has a good connection with the Mac OS X system, but what about other cellphones that support bluetooth? How do you pair 'em?

I'm starting to get paranoid about the geolocation capabilities on my iPhone. How can I figure out which of my many iPhone apps are tapping into the geo information and reporting it back to the app developer??

i have Windows 7 and all the settings are totally different to WIndows XP and I cannot find the display settings to alter sleep time. Help!

I have a ton of friends on Facebook, and it's generally pretty cool, but there are two or three people who keep inviting me to their MLM marketing events and I not only don't want to go, I don't want to see their invitations any more, nor any other communications from them. I can't "hide" them as I do with status updates, so what's my option?

If you ever wondered what techies did BEB -- Before eBay -- to find the coolest "used" technologies, widgets and gizmos, they simply traveled to a local Hamfest. A Hamfest, for everyone who missed this rare sub-culture gathering of the Ham amateur radio generation[s], it is a massive second hand technology fair, occurring nearly every weekend during warm weather. My father would travel for miles to attend; anything to be surrounded by the old "junk" that was sold to other hams, engineers, hobbyists, anyone who sought out motherboard key chains or electronics equipment that seemed 100's of years old to me. But to my Dad, this was nirvana. Someone else's adventure and inventions became my Dad's treasures.

To "appease" him I would tag along, but I never knew how much of an impact those fairs and that time with my Dad would have on my life until recently. I can trace back my love for technologies and gizmos to those Sunday mornings basking in the hot sun, hanging out with my Dad and rummaging through the broadcast isles and WWII surplus. I expanded my knowledge of old equipment, hardware, inventing, and my father. Now I truly understand the old adage, one mans junk is another's treasure. When my father found something interesting, perhaps something like a $40,000 spectrum analyzer that needed a bit of work that he could buy for pennies on the dollar, he'd tell everyone about his find, why it was so great and why we lugged it home.

Years later, when I find a product that impresses me I spend all my time in a similar fashion trying to share the good word with all who are interested. For instance, although I LOVE my iPhone, the battery life causes some problems for the executive on the go. As I travel from client to client, appointment to appointment, I am on the move and the last thing I need to go wrong is to loose touch with the world. Therefore, I depend on my iPhone to keep me in touch with work and my family.

My brother sent me some really cool wireless bluetooth speakers for my computer and I can't figure out how to make them work. Is there some secret to getting a MacBook to use a bluetooth speaker system?

I'm freaking out: I just launched iTunes on my Mac and it popped up a window saying "This copy of iTunes will expire in 77 hours". WTH? How can my copy of iTunes expire? I'm running Mac OS X 10.6.2, if that makes a difference...

If you follow my Twitter stream (I'm @DaveTaylor on Twitter) you already know that I'm a bit of a fanatic about the FIFA World Cup and this year it's the first time I can actually bring the World Cup with me thanks to my Apple iPhone. It's every four years and the iPhone was introduced in 2007, so I think I had a Motorola RAZR during the last Cup (e.g., a phone that was dead useless in terms of helping me enjoy the matches).

The World Cup is the single most popular sporting event in the world, but oddly is unpopular here in the United States. That's the subject of a different article, however. Suffice to say, I find it odd that only one or two of my friends even watch matches, let alone pay attention to the entire Cup.

Fortunately, there's lots of commercial interest in the World Cup with useful apps from both ESPN [iTunes link] and Fox Soccer Channel [iTunes link]. What I really wanted was to watch the matches live on my iPhone -- now my iPhone 4 -- and that's where MobiTV comes in...

Now that I have a new iPhone 4 - thanks to standing in line for four hours - I am eager to try some of the new features and am a bit baffled by how to get to FaceTime, the video conferencing system on the phone. Do you have an iPhone 4? Can you show me how to do it?

Based on your enthusiasm for Foursquare, I have been getting more into it and am connecting with a variety of different people in my community. Generally it's good fun and since I only check in when I am in a public setting, I have no worries about privacy with people I don't know. Except there's this one guy who uses his checkins to advertise his workshops incessantly and it's annoying to get those alerts. I want to unfriend him. But how can I do that in Foursquare?

This may seem obvious, but I'm used to "Update Windows" as an option in my Start menu and it's not there any more in Windows 7. How do I update my Windows 7 installation to ensure it stays up-to-date on patches, etc?

Now that I have a humble fan page on Facebook, I'd like to have a simple button on add to my blog so people can click and become fans. Surely there's some way to do that? If so, I sure can't find it on Facebook!

I have my Windows Live account set up but keep getting an error message that I need to verify my address. Since my address is part of the Windows Live network (hotmail) I'm a bit confused: how do I verify my addr?

I am SOOO frustrated! All of a sudden I can't seem to log in to my Hotmail account or anything else on the Microsoft network, Windows Live, whatever it's called, just says "invalid login". How can I reset my password on Windows Live, Dave??

As part of some user interface testing I'm involved with on an Ubuntu Linux system, I find myself frequently having to rename groups of files in a sequential manner. That is, I'll have files like "output mm-dd-yyyy at hh:mm:ss" and need to rename them to "testrun-xx-file-yy". Is there any way to automate this so I don't have to go crazy typing?

I want to give my daughter my old iPhone so she can use it as an iPod Touch sort of device and am concerned that she'll listen to material that doesn't meet my approval as a parent. What I'd like is to put some sort of limiter or lock on the phone so that any music that is marked as having explicit lyrics is skipped or prevented from playing. Possible?

I'm enamored of MobileMe, the data sharing and sync service from Apple, but $99/year seems pretty steep. Is there a cheaper way that I can renew my MobileMe membership and save a few dollars?

I travel a lot, flying to a city then driving around visiting customers. It's pretty boring. So I listen to a lot of audio books (or are they "audiobooks"?) on my iPhone. I recently finished one while in Houston and was stuck: for future reference, is there a way to buy a new audiobook directly on my iPhone, without a computer involved?

How do I delete different list that were created for my friends? Example: my daughters friends, a list was created that says "my crazy step-daughters". How do I go about deleting something like that? There are more list, this is just an example and no, there are no names/friends in these extra list either.

I searched for HTML CODE FIX and it was all pretty much self-help. Can you recommend a company, SEO I guess, that can just fix HTML code and check to see why two products of mine don't get submitted to Google. It seems to be not meeting their guidelines. I have over 100 html errors according to htmlvalidator.
