You have to admit, though, that living in a place with so much history can make you curious. Here's a tale about one woman's trip into West Hollywood.

However, most of these accessories have short "lifespan" and can be considered disposable. This is when the accessories can become bothersome.

A hotkey can be used to disable the touchpad if you choose to use an external mouse instead; a...
