Please help me figure out the name of this song Ok, so I saw an ad on CNET while I was waiting for a video to load and it was a commercial for a Hewlett-Packard laptop. I really really liked the song in the commercial, so I tried to use both Shazam and SoundHound to identify it, but it was no use. My fear is that it's just a song they looped together for the commercial and that it's not an actual song. In which case, I guess I'm out of luck. But I was hoping maybe someone here could identify it if it is a song. Here's a link to the video:

The idea of having a "Gap Year". So, as I understand, there is a tradition in Europe where you take something called a "Gap Year" in which you go out into the real world for a year in between High School and college. Unfortunately, there's no such concept like that in America; you're pretty much expected to go into college right after High School. I'm actually in college right now, and I'm going to be graduating soon, and I'm wondering if I should just go ahead and have a "Gap Year" in between college and actually going into my career. I'm thinking of traveling the world, or maybe just doing a cross-country American tour. (Of course, this seems almost pointless as I can probably just go into the work force and

Posing a question to an ex-roommate without sounding rude. Ok, so my boyfriend recently moved out of his on-campus apartment to stay in the dorms. But, now that I want to visit, I can't stay in the dorms like I could in the apartment because of the dorm's policy. Luckily, his gracious old roommate who is still in the same apartment and who is still close friends with my boyfriend suggested we borrow his room since he stays by his own girlfriend's house most of the time, so he's barely in the apartment. The problem is that his friend's room (according to my boyfriend) is a complete mess and is possibly bug-infested. How does my boyfriend ask him politely to prepare his room for other people to be occupying it without sounding rude/ungrateful

Moving Away from Home - A Dilemma [b]Just warning in advance - This is a LONG story.[/b] So, first off, let me start by saying that I just got engaged to my boyfriend of 8 years. (He proposed on St. Patrick's Day). Exciting right? Well, it gets even better. He JUST got a job in his career, but had to move all the way from sunny New Orleans to snowy Marquette, Michigan. He moved the day after proposing to me. I'm still in college - I submitted a transfer application to Northern Michigan University and got accepted, so in the fall, I'll be attending school there. Originally, I stated that I'd join him up there after this semester (sometime in mid-May). But then I found out that the courses that I'm taking this semester won't count toward my t

Help me figure out a song I heard a song today in the mall and I can't figure it out! It sounded like a Norah Jones song; until I realized that the Norah Jones song I found only sounded similar to the one in the mall. Watch the first 10 sec. of this: At 0:04 an organ plays a very small progression of notes. That progression is almost EXACTLY the same as the one that starts the song I heard in the mall. Except the one I heard in the mall was played on a upright/grand piano instead of an organ. And the woman sounds a lot like Norah Jones. But it's not the song above. HELP! I tried SoundHound but it didn't have enough info to go off of. AND IT'S DRIVING ME INSANE!

Have you ever referenced Basilmarket in a real-life convo? You ever talked with your friends about something (like maybe something news-related or anything else) and then say something along the lines of "Oh, I heard about that already. Someone on this website I visit called "Basilmarket" was talking about it." That's happened to me several times, and then I get the obligatory, "What's Basilmarket?" and then when I'm done explaining what this site is, they usually just blink a few times and change the subject. :/
