I often listen to video lectures on my iPhone. Sometimes they are in podcast form, other times they are on YouTube. I would like to listen to these videos with the iPhone in auto-lock mode, with the screen off. I can do this with all kinds of audio but not video. Is there a way around this? Otherwise, when I'm listening to a video lecture when I'm walking or jogging with the phone in my pocket, it's using up the battery. Viriditas ( talk) 10:57, 10 August 2012 (UTC)
Hello, I love to tweet via my computer on twitter but I would really like to be able to tweet from my mobile phone. I live in the UK and have a pay as you go telephone (I am a poor man). I understand there is a procedure where I can "align" my twitter account with my telephone and then text tweets to a certain number, but I have no idea of the following items:
Can anyone shed any light on this situation? Horace Grundle ( talk) 12:11, 10 August 2012 (UTC)

Hello. I received an email from what, according to Outlook.com, is a trusted source, Microsoft Account Team (account-security-noreply[at]microsoft. com), claiming that my Microsoft account has been verified along with a code. I don't remember verifying my account. What would one do to receive such an email? The email asks me to change my password if I didn't request this code. Has my email been infiltrated? Thanks in advance. -- Mayfare ( talk) 16:38, 10 August 2012 (UTC)

Interesting discussion, I just don't see a "server" as the same as visiting a "website" so then I go back into the HTML HTTP came about roughly 10 years after the first DNS's were assigned (and roughly 5 years after the first CERN server). This is great technical information! Nil Einne, if I read you correctly web servers=web site? And if that is the technical truth then ARPA/DARPA from 1969-1980ish and then FTP from circa 1980 until 1990 were not considered "web sites" in the way it would be understood today (I realize that semantically web site refers to "world wide web" but prior to 1990 there were "sites" on what we would call today the "web" even if it was simply FTP and storage), and if so what was the approximate date of the first website as would fit todays definition of a place on the internet? BenRG, I would be interested to know what you consider the first website or when approximately the first website was created (since the 1990 CERN server is 4-6 years before HTML or HTTP). And thanks for the great technical analysis! user:MarketdiamondMarketDiamond 01:55, 13 August 2012 (UTC)
I don't know if this is the right type of question for the reference desk, but...
I really need a good app (preferably free, but beggars can't be choosers) for my phone that allows me to take pictures of my clothes and sort them into categories (for instance, business casual, casual, etc). I've tried looking around for one myself, but I haven't found a good one. Does anyone know of one? - Purplewowies ( talk) 18:44, 10 August 2012 (UTC)
