If they follow apple's lead on hw/sw integration and keep the prices reasonable, this could be a very nice way to show Linux as a user-friendly option.
Ironically, for such a high tech nation, there hasn't been a major quality improvement in TV broadcast images for a half-century until the 2006 changeover to HDTV
Have we suddenly moved further into the mysterious future?
Thank god for COWARDS like you. You make me proud to be an American, you brave soul. You tell them anonymously on an American-hosted web-board. That will show them who's boss. You are a BAD ASS.
The only problem is this is the second one (they've already replaced it once) and it's not impossibly bad time (3.5-4 hours playing straight through). I have bitched and moaned about it, but that gets me nowhere. I love the product, but I just don't think that the technology behind them was necessarily ready for prime-time. I also noticed that the first 3rd generation I had had much better battery life before it died and it also had a different colored backlight. I think they might know about this. I still think it's the best mp3 player out there, but Apple's customer service could use a bit of a tune-up
I had always been under the impression that li/ion batteries should be cycled, so I would let them run all the way down, but the iPod would die an almost violent death- warning about 1/2 second before it died, so then I would let it get really low (blinking) and then charge it. Then I got a third generation after hearing they had better battery qualities. After one return because it just plain stopped working, this one now gets really crappy battery life after only 6 months no matter how I charge it(first three or so, letting it run all the way down, second half charging it whenever I get home). There is really no way to properly cycle iPod batteries, so I feel stuck. But I am also addicted to the interface, and I don't really have to keep it off a charger all that much, but that defeats the purpose of a portable music player, so I feel a little ripped off, but at the same time, there's nothing better. I have pPod on my PPC, and it is amazing how well it emulates the interface, but it's no ipod.
I have got to tell you, no matter what most Mac people say, X is an awful lot like 9 if you are just a run-of-the-mill internet, email, word processor type. But then again, so is XP. I would reccomend buying a cheapo PC with XP pre-installed and maxing out the RAM in the iMac and installing Jaguar (OSX 10.2) on it. Then network the two.
It walks down stairs, rolls over in pairs and makes a slinkity sound! A spring, a spring, a marvelous spring! Everyone knows it's Slikny! It's Slinky, It's Slinky, It's Slinky! It's fun, it's a wonderful toy! It's fun for a girl and a boy! (some disclaimer)

You're damned right I'd be calling my car an SOB if it broke down, and if I don't get my lunch by 2, everybody in my office is an SOB.
Is a nudiest colony even nuder than a nudist colony? Sign me up! Sorry couldn't resist.
I invented a program that downloads porn from the internet one million times faster.

It's cowardly bitches like you that give bitches a bad name. Bitch.
That is not true.

That is what I do all day at work, but I will be damned if the thing will make it through an 8-hour day.

Tell that to my 1st gen. battery, or my 6 mo. old 3rd gen. battery that only lasts 3.5 - 4 hours on a charge now. Do you even own an iPod?
X is older than linux.

Truth spoken and laughed at.
Does anyone know if standard concrete blocks will hold this puppy up?
My girlfriend voluntarily installed Firefox before I did, and told me afterwards- imagine my swell of first shock, then pride
At the fact that you have a girlfriend? Sorry couldn't resist
And the newer version with more features.
Uhh... How about this?
Are you high?
