  1. IE "Security" Update by frawaradaR · · Score: 3, Interesting

    Just seven weeks late... and those security updates are the only updates coming (all of which fuck around with MY preferences). IE 5 for the Mac is getting very old and is way surpassed by Mozilla now. I don't use it anymore. R.I.P.

  2. .ogg? by Anonymous Coward · · Score: 1, Interesting

    Does the ipod support .ogg yet? I'm not buying one until it does. That would could as a "signifigant enhancement"

  3. update explains a lot by Laplace · · Score: 3, Interesting

    I was shocked when after giving my iPod a supposedly full charge, the battery indicator immediately dropped by one bar. For a while I thought that my battery was hosed, and the apple knowledge base didn't offer any news to the contraty. Looking at the update, I can see that this was a common problem. The update does appear to fix it.

    my darned ipod has areally annoying bug

    when i'm walking around with it and i play on of thoes "smart" playlists (My Top Rated, 25 most listened to, etc.) it won't even get through the first song before the audio stops, the display hangs, and the ipod hard locks

    i have to manually reset it every time this happens...but other playlists and listening to just straight albums doesnt do this....pisses me off
