Well it's pretty simple.. I'm not sure if this works for all earphones but I've done them on like the iPod earphones and it works. You basically just stick the earphones into the microphone insert thing in your computer

Then go to sound recorder and press record and holding each ear near your mouth speak into them (might have to speak pretty loud) and then one of them will record the sound (you'll know which one because the soundwave thing moves) and walaa you have a microphone.

It's not the best thing in the world but it's better then absolutely nothing :)

You can do the same with some speakers too. A microphone is like a small speaker, you can use a microphone as a speaker infact if you insert into an out port (or that's what I did with my Hi-Fi once :P)

When I was away with friends of ours once we had a mac with GarageBand on it and used those big headphones you can get as a Microphone as we didn't have one to record with. With bigger headphones you get a better sound ;)
