Question by cromtheconqueror: How long does an iPod take to be restored?
I had to restore my iPod to factory settings today because my mom disconnected it from the computer without ejecting. I had iTunes restore it to factory settings and was told the iPod would now restart itself and I shouldn’t disconnect it. It’s been over an hour now perhaps an hour and a half and it is still in what my computer calls “recovery mode”. Is this a normal time length or is my iPod broken?

Best answer:

Answer by Joe Mcdane
It broke. LOL sorry, it should restart in some minutes. Try to disconnect and connect again to iTunes. Or try to put it in recovery mode again (you know what buttons to press don’t you?) and re-do the process. It happened to me exactly the same, but I managed to make it work again.

What do you think? Answer below!

Boys will always be boys. They have this fixation on cars, speed, the audacity of racing, and wreckage. My hat goes off to the ladies who have also followed this very masculine defined sport. What is with cars and racing cars? What’s this Racing Nascar all about? It basically stands for National Association for Stock Car Auto Racing. It is a family-owned and operated business venture that watches over numerous auto racing events across the United States. NASCAR series include the Sprint Cup, Nationwide and Craftsman Truck.

The National Association for Stock Car Auto Racing or NASCAR is a family-owned business venture introduced by Bill France Sr. in 1948. It administers auto racing events across the nation and even Canada. The Sprint Cup, Nationwide and the Craftsman Truck series all dominate NASCAR’s races. Its predecessors were basically the three divisions it had when it all started: Modified, Roadsters and Strictly Stock. NASCAR has reached countries like Japan, Mexico and Australia with their exhibition races. They have 1,500 races in more than 100 grand tracks in 39 states on-shore.

Simply put, stock racing is having a car speed around an oval and points are allocated in every lap they finish. But it’s not just about racing cars; it’s about the car itself. Stock cars, in the beginning, were automobiles that have not been modified from its original factory settings. It eventually changed to mean building an automobile uniquely different from the ordinary commercially produced vehicles. Their sole purpose was to race.

NASCAR stock car may seemingly resemble an America-made sedan but in fact, they are custom built following strict regulations governing car designs. They are based on four-door American made cars. The currently eligible race cars include the Ford Fusion, Dodge Charger, Chevrolet Monte Carlo and the Toyota Camry. There have been specific modifications to its chassis, suspension, and engine. Example, NASCAR requires carbureted engines while the common passenger car uses fuel injection.

They totally look different from the sleek and pointy open wheel cars of Formula One, CART and IRL series. NASCARS have fenders which sort of protects the vehicle from hooking up with the other vehicle’s wheel should they come in contact. That would be instant wreckage! It is actually a crowd-pleaser but definitely a pocket-drainer for sponsors.

My friends told me that being in the race ground itself is a thrilling experience because it calls for all your five-senses to work. I was skeptical about it until I actually went. The colors of these cars are so vivid with sponsors blaring their own hues. Then the sound of the engines revving up and as they speed through the oval, fans would be screaming like there was no tomorrow. The air will be dusty bringing with it the smell of burnt rubber and fuel. You take a whiff of it as you drink from your cold beverage. The sun on your face wouldn’t bother you as much as the reverberation of the ground beneath your seat. Some folks just got hooked to it. I still ain’t.

This part-glamour sport generates activities that bring it jobs to thousands and encourages spending from fans. Racing Nascar also gathers the best minds in the auto industry and makes use of the advancement of technology. That’s NASCAR from my point of view and that’s good enough for me.

A hacker in the Netherlands broke into some jailbroken iPhones and sent text messages to the owners asking them to pay to find out how to secure their phones, according to postings in a Dutch forum called Tweakers.net.

One of the victims posted a screenshot from his iPhone of the SMS received. It said: “Your iPhone’s been hacked because it’s really insecure! Please visit doiop.com/iHacked and secure your iPhone right now! Right now, I can access all your files.”

The URL provided now displays a message indicating that it was reported for spam or phishing abuse and has been deactivated.

Ars Technica reports that before the page was removed, it asked that victims send 5 euros ($7.36) to a PayPal account and then await an e-mail with instructions on how to secure the phone. The fix probably would involve restoring the factory settings, according to the Ars Technica post.

“If you don’t pay, it’s fine by me,” the hacker’s page said. “But remember, the way I got access to your iPhone can be used by thousands of others–they can send text messages from your number (like I did), use it to call or record your calls, and actually whatever they want, even use it for their hacking activities! I can assure you, I have no intention of harming you or whatever, but, some hackers do! It’s just my advice to secure your phone.”
