no... seriously.. whats witht eh obvious statements: coffee being addictive, now this!
The evil characters vote republican, the rest democrat. why a link? seems like an obvious self evident statement!... I didn't rtfa, did superman vote nader?
The **idea** is that with an ipod you go around in a circle, which is a continuous motion.. while with other players like the zen you have to go back up to the top once you have done a round. it means a long break.
To the ones who use physical dials or whatever, they don't compare, because the synaptic devices realise when you are moving fast, and they go down a lot faster.. its like using a touch pad, if you move round slowly from corner to corner you go about 20 pixels on the thing, but if you go across really fast you can get from corner to corner of your screen.
Its the same for the iPods, you can scroll down to "z" by spinning it around **really** fast 3 times, a lot better than having to spin a dial around 10 or so, at least.
The other advantage is that dials often wear down after heavy use, especially when you are spinning around 1000's of songs, and these touchpads do not wear out as easily
The university has taken a novell approach instead, telling owners of aps that their networks will be visited by the riaa randomly. Hear that? the sound of an empty 2.4ghz band!
I know people who have 3.0ghz machines with a gig of ram running internet explorer into overdrive by checking their hotmail. what hardware bottleneck? Hte only bottleneck at the moment is bandwidth, and a practical use for all that horsepower for the everyday user
