I have, at last check, >68GB of MP3s, which is more than can fit on the largest iPod. I own a mini because (a) it has a screen, so I can read my calendar and contacts and leave my Palm at home, (b) it's large enough for a week-long trip and/or carrying non-music files around.
Sure, I could have more storage or color with a larger iPod, but I don't really care. I have my standard playlists, and a smart playlist of randomly-selected stuff I haven't listed to in a while to keep things interesting. As far as I'm concerned, anything else is just wasted money. (Speaking of which, I had planned to get a mini even before I got mine free from Citibank.)
In the early 1970s when the oil shortage was a big deal and people still thought big-ass calculators with red numbers were pretty nifty, this joke made the rounds:
"142 Israeli soldiers fought 15,469 Arab soldiers for 5 years for oil rights. Who won?"
On the calculator type in 142 X 15469. When you enter the "=" key the result is 710.77345. Now turn the calculator upside down for the answer!
Yeah, it's pretty lame, but remember that people still thought calculators were pretty freakin' cool. Whoa. Words on a calculator.
Or does damn near everything in Australia having to do with computers, telephones, or ISPs seem to have problems? What's with the Australian government and high tech stuff?
Agreed. Like some baby boomer with a gray ponytail might confuse a Beatles record with an iPod and suffer harm by, like, totally blowing his mind. Right.
Seriously, who, besides Beatles dorks even *knows* what label they're on? No one cares. It's The Beatles. It's not like (Beatles) Apple has done anything lately.
Keep it simple and keep it non-goofy too, please. Mod me down if you want, but I'm willing to bet that Creative has lost at least one sale because someone didn't want to tell their friends that they bought a "MuVo Slim" or "Zen Touch."
I would also point out that considering the few "innovations" Microsoft seems to be able to generate in-house, maybe their selection of "brain" wasn't so great.
I have been messing around with HandBreak and have been able to use that snazzy new H.264 codec and compressed NapoleonDynomite to 652mb with no noticable quality loss at all.
You could probably delete the film altogether and not notice any loss of quality.

Won't you think of the baby Jesus?
It's a shame that these idiot kids can't make a program that every computer [that runs Windows anyway] could use
Sounds like they already did.
Guess what? I got a fever! And the only prescription... is more Cobol!

You're right, that's terrible. You'd think a blogger would figure out that his HTML was screwed up.
When it happens, I'll blame those meddling kids.

If their commercials weren't so fucking annoying.
But there's still a risk of danger.
Up until your post, I thought it was the tree branch as well. /AOL

"...eEye security, which has released a free scanner to help network admins identify vulnerable computers.
What, the Windows startup screen wasn't sufficient to identify vulnerable computers?
I could go into why but that would be a really long post
Perhaps because the last time you lot got political the yanks had to detonate two nuclear devices over your respective asses?
; )
Fucking-A, baby.

Not sure if you could equip a toy with an emergency blow apparatus.
What about a sex toy?

Yeah, right.
Microsoft spends millions on a UI lab every year and the biggest innovation they can come up with is hiding Clippy.
IM is synchronous; e-mail is asynchronous. See the literature for corresponding behavior.

He announces an idea that Apple put into practice seven years earlier and thinks he's gonna win a contest.
