USB speakers without the headphone jack Hey... So a couple years ago, my dad bought a new computer for the family to use from a really cheap, crappy place. As it turned out, this "brand-new" computer came with both of its headphone jacks completely busted. They look alright, but the one on the front of the computer doesn't connect at all and it will literally eject the headphones that you put in (there's a spring in there or something >_>) and the one in the back thankfully stays in, but it can't play foreground noises. Only background noises.

Android Autocorrect dictionary So I'm planning on getting an Android phone which looks pretty fancy for its discounted price (specifically, the Huawei Ascend P1 on Wind Mobile (Canada)), but the thing that bugs me is that the spell checker is apparently dumb as a rock-- i.e. the majority of everyday words will be underlined in red as you type them and it won't even autocorrect "gello" to "hello" and such. So is there a way to "update" this dictionary, or at least replace it with the vanilla Android autocorrect dictionary? (And what's the proper term for "autocorrect dictionary"? Not knowing it is the reason why Google can't help me at the moment. XD) Thanks!
