    How quickly does headphone technology progress?

    Headphones all work the same basic way, there's not really any technology to improve on. I would buy something like this: http://www.amazon.com/Sennheiser-Open-Back-Professional-Headphone/dp/B00004SY4H/ref=sr_1_21?s=aht&srs=2530385011&ie=UTF8&qid=1455749581&sr=1-21...

    What do I need to buy to record music for a band?

    What would I need to make an amateur studio setup so I can record music for my band? Do I just need to buy a USB mixer? Could I get a good sound card and use that to play the audio back on some speakers? I can spend around $200 all together.

    AMD or intel?

    It depends on the task, at gaming AMD and Intel are about equal depending on how much the game uses the processor. If you're doing video rendering I would buy an Intel processor like an i5. AMD sells cheaper processors that are better for overclocking (Increasing the base speed of the processor)...

    iPhone 4s not showing up on my computer

    Since the device is new it cannot be a problem with the docking port, it could possibly be a problem with your USB ports. See if you cannot connect to another computer.

    Verizon iPhone 4 as iPod.

    I have a Verizon iPhone 4 that I want to use as an iPod. It's not on any plan but it still says it receives a signal, is this normal? Should I just use it with airplane mode on with wifi enabled?

    iPhone 4s not showing up on my computer

    Is your cord working? Sometimes the wires within will break and the phone will only charge and not sync.

    There are other reasons behind the purpose of underclocking like saving power, you do have a laptop after all.
